"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."
After listening to the Conan OST almost obsessively for over a week I thought it was time to give something else a spin. For an unknown reason I thought to d/l this sound track, probably because I seem to be in more of an 'ambient' kinda mood. Simply put, this album, much like most of the film itself, gives me chills.
Synth music like this is probably maligned and stigmatised by most folk for being dated and cheesy; all I can say to that is in that case Beethoven is outdated, classical music is cheesy and stale. It annoys me so much that people dislike a certain type of music because 'It sounds dated.' Dip shits, all music (as all art) is dated and all art is timeless, get over your childish and social hang ups about everything old being of no worth and only the now being 'hip.'
Richard Corliss said something along the lines of 'Nothing ages so quickly as yesterday's vision of the future.' I said something fairly similar, along the lines of 'Nothing means less than half baked, horse shit sound bites.' Spooky, huh?
Sod 'em all, turn the lights off, the music up and escape into a world of synth.

fuck shit to hell and back. one of the all-time-greatest scores for one of the all-time-greatest movies. p.s. read your previous post's comment too.
ReplyDeleteEverything about the film and the score is perfect. I think the thing that struck me so much about it when I was younger was how oppressively bleak it all was, and that I actually liked that!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm slow at checking comments, mainly cos I feel no one would ever check here!
