What's Your Favourite Soundtrack Album ....?

    I mean, the entire album. Not a title, or single incidental track.

    Me? All time and for ever, it's got to be Cruising the Al Pacino film from 1980.

    With stuff like Willy deVille and " Lump ", by Mutiny. There's just not a bad track on there! It was deleted and unavailable for decades. Now, ye can just download the whole album from You Tube.


    Reservoir Dogs is almost seamless. But, for me? That f**king 'Coconut' just needs editing out of it!


    Another one I'd listen to was Picnic At Hanging Rock. The original, 1975 version, of course. Best suited to sunny, summers days. Windows open and a nice breeze blowing through. Just go about ye business with this one in the background.


    What's yours?

    Whole album, remember. Not just a title or favourite track.


    And, my thanks to Ken, for moving this entire, hard worked on thread here. Because my face fits :) Instead of just Locking it, like a total ****.

    The Goblins soundtrack for Suspiria or Deep Red. Prog rock and horror what's not to like.

    Love the music in Drive.
    Wouldn't really listen to the soundtrack by itself but it adds so much to the film.

    It's a great soundtrack. My parents had the CD but I didn't know if was part of a film. I saw the film when I was about 20. I must watch it again.

    The first soundtrack I bought was when I was 12. It was Pulp Fiction. I joined one of those CD club things and if you joined you got 5 free CDs so that was one of the five I chose. Then they started sending me out CDs randomly and charging me for them so I had to leave it! :/:)

    'Tron' remake soundtrack by Daft Punk, also the 'Moon' soundtrack by Clint Mansell, superb.

    Romeo+Juliet

    Sweet November. It's a terrible film but the soundtrack is great.

    Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' soundtrack to "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" is very good.

    The Dust Brothers soundtrack to Fight Club is fantastic, as is Johann Johannson's soundtrack to Arrival. I'm also a big sucker for Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack to Spirited Away.

    Others already mentioned like the Vangelis soundtrack for Blade Runner, the Daft Punk soundtrack for Tron: Legacy and Clint Mansell's Moon soundtrack are also great, although I can't think of Clint Mansell without also thinking of the soundtrack to Pi. His soundtrack for the "San Junipero" episode of Black Mirror was also very good.

    Someone mentioned the soundtrack to Drive, which was Cliff Martinez IIRC. The soundtrack to Refn's Neon Demon was also great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,059 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    A few more - "Dollar$" soundtrack by Quincy Jones, very funky. Likewise Jones work on The Getaway which alas was never issued as a soundtrack so you'll have to watch the film which is excellent. Actually Quincy Jones wrote plenty of fine soundtracks - The Lost Man is another.

    I'm a fan of Lalo Schifrin as well - his work on the first two Dirty Harry's is top notch.

    Alot of elfmans music... And the bounty and 1492 by vangelis


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,106 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    The Matrix Soundtrack. It caught me at the right time, right at the start of the teenage years, and was more responsible than any other single thing for getting me into music. It'll always have a place in my heart.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 615 ✭✭✭donalh087


    Northern Exposure great Daniel Lanois/french canadian/Zydeco vibe.

    Shawshank soundtrack is brilliant.

    American Beauty soundtrack also has some good stuff in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,443 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Anything Lisa Gerrard sprinkled her magic on. Gladiator, Whale Rider, etc.

    Cliff Martinez's score to Solaris is outstanding.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,872 ✭✭✭✭cnocbui


    Gladiator.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,360 ✭✭✭Lorelli!


    I've always loved David Bowie's soundtrack of Labyrinth.

    The soundtrack switches from fun childlike songs like Magic Dance and Chilli Down to ones like As The World Falls Down which is a really beautiful song and Within You when Jareth is losing his hold over Sarah.

    I've read some very interesting and unusual controversial theories on the story that you didn't think of as a child watching it.

    Sound of Music is a cracker along with Shrek.

    I have a few soundtracks on vinyl and cd including Cruising, great album. Goblins soundtrack to Dario Argentos Suspiria is another fave.

    :eek: O M G!!!! Ye actually have Cruising, on vinyl?! Ye the first person I've ever heard of who has it!

    The story, as I always understood it, was that the film got blamed for a spot of Gay Bashing. Supposedly, 'that' caused Paccino to demand the entire project be buried. (I've, personally, always wondered if there wasn't a bit of the Martin Shaw's at play there .....) Fantastic film anyway ~ the wife and I bought the VHS from the shop. Much cheaper than constantly hiring it!

    But, that Soundtrack!!!


    People mentioning Gladiator. How interesting! Like anyone else; I have it on my shelf and must have watched it a dozen times. I don't remember a single chord from it. But, yeah. I reckon it probably Would have some good sounds on there

    Surprised no one's yet mentioned the inimitable Ennio Morrichone and the two " Dollars " films. Some good listening on those two :)

    Sound of Music gets an honourable mention, eh? That's going back a bit. My mother had " South Pacific ". Remember that? 'There Is Nothing Like A Dame ....!'. They don't make films like that any more! (Thank F**k!!! :D)
