Soundtrack - Above The Rim - 1994
I never saw the movie, I found this in the trash, and I should have left it there. If being a player hater is wrong, I don't want to be right. I really don't think I could despise anything more than I do the typical gangsta R&B feltch that's in abundance here.
Soundtrack - Babylon - 1981
This is a pretty cool soundtrack to a movie I've never heard of. It features, among others, Dennis Bovell who does some really nice instrumental tracks (reggae - duh).
Soundtrack - A Clockwork Orange - 1972
Aside from being one of the coolest movies of all time, the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange is a pretty descent album. On the one hand, you have selected works of "Ludwig van", which take on a whole new meaning when placed with this film. But, the real highlight of this record is the remarkable keyboard (moog) works by Walter (now Wendy) Carlos.
Soundtrack - All This and World War II - 1976
Although I didn't know it at the time, this was my first experience with a tribute album. I have no idea what the movie was about, I'm assuming it was Beatle's covers against WWII reels. Lot's of big stars contributed to this double album set, nothing real memorable, but was a big part of my childhood.
Soundtrack - Bob & Doug McKenzie - The Great White North - 1981
I've always been a fan of two stupid guys humor: Dumb and Dumber, Cheech and Chong, and Bob and Doug. What originally began as a somewhat spiteful response to governmentally mandated Canadian programming, turned into one of SCTV's best skits, and unwittingly gave birth to 80's icon "Spuds" McKenzie.
Soundtrack - Colors - 1987
Why are Ice-T's soundtrack songs usually his best work? I don't know, but I'm not complainin'. This movie about gangs, caused quite a ruckus at a few local theatres. The cuts are unusally good and showcase some artist like Big Daddy Kane, and Eric B. and Rakim in their prime.
Soundtrack - Sanford and Son - 1972
No, they didn't make Sanford and Son into a movie (yet), but they did make an album comprised of scenes from the show, plus Quincy Jones' killer theme music. There's really no reason anyone should have this, other than just to have it.
Soundtrack - Tommy - 1975
Tommy (in this case) is the soundtrack to the film of the same name, written by The Who's Pete Townsend. There is another version that is strictly The Who, whereas this one has many different cameo stars like David Bowie, Tina Turner, and Elton John. Not too interesting in the long run, but at least 1 or 2 great songs can be had here.
Soundtrack - Tron - 1982
Ah Tron, one of my favorite movies of youth, sure it was a little corny and pretty cheesey but, boy was it cool. Despite two tracks from Journey, Wendy Carlos is the driving force behind Tron's cyber (before cyber was cool) atmosphere. Not her best work, but reminds me of being at the arcade which gives me warm fuzzies.
Soundtrack - The Tube Bar - 1990
The Tube Bar is a self professed "documentary" album of a couple of college guys who spent a lot of their free time pestering some old coot at ...the Tube Bar. The laughs keep on rollin' as Al the bartender calls out for patrons with names like Cole Kutz, Peppe Roni, Bill Loni, etc. This is where Bart Simpson got his inspiration to call on Moe. |
