PGM 760 : "UNDERSCORE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : exploring the world of ambient film music
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-17-06

INTRO: Here's the thing about soundtrack albums: no matter how
good the music in the film is, you just never know how good the
CD will be.
Some of the best composers and studio musicians in the world
work on these projects. No expense is spared to record the music and
mix it into the film. Then, the soundtrack CD is thrown together in a
few days from dozens of short "cues," padded with "incidental music"
or songs from hot young bands, and rushed to market in time for the
film's opening. As listening experiences go, they're totally unpredictable:
you just never know.
Yet the original function of film music has a lot in common
with ambient and space music -- to color the environment, evoke
emotion, and underscore the action on the screen -- just like
ambient does to the action in your room.

Absolutely great stuff! Enjoyed the variety of new and older films. Horner is always a favorite. The Capote pieces were very nice, and reflected well on my memory of the movie. Brokeback was also very reflective for me. Well done HOS, a very enjoyable evening of music!
