#18 Buffalo ’66
“Heart Of The Sunrise” by Yes
Buffalo ’66 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Download The Album: iTunes (UK Only) | Buy CD

To the minor extent that Vincent Gallo’s directorial debut has a plot, it involves his character, Billy, seeking revenge on the Buffalo Bills placekicker whose missed field-goal attempt ostensibly ruined Billy’s life. Near the end of the film, Billy finally shows up at the strip club owned by the retired player, gun in hand. Rather than accompany this surreally staged, grotesquely violent scene with music that might actually be heard in a strip club, or even music that would conventionally heighten the intensity of a shootout, Gallo chooses—yes!—Yes. Not only does the track’s sinuous groove provide plenty of offbeat tension as Billy walks in, it thrillingly shifts into high gear at the precise moment that he spots his victim. Prog kill! —Mike D’Angelo

#44 Gamer
“I’ve Got You Under My Skin” by Sammy Davis Jr.
Gamer (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Download The Album: iTunes | Buy CD

Set to the utterly appropriate sounds of Sammy Davis Jr.’s rendition of the Cole Porter standard “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” Castle and his minions boogie and bop like refuges from the creepiest Busby Berkeley film ever made, then break formation to test Kable in hand-to-hand combat. Hall dances like a puppet on strings, playing up the themes of control inherent not only in gaming, but also in fight and dance choreography.

So amidst the Cocteau Twins and Siouxsie and the Banshees, is a fantastic original score from Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd. -BlackBook

Lakeshore Records is pleased to release White Bird In A Blizzard (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Composers Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd.  Robin Guthrie, co-founder of iconic rock band Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd, avant-garde composer, both collaborated previously to score another film by Director Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin).   White Bird is in theaters on October 24, but if you refuse to wait, watch the movie on demand this Thursday (9/25) on iTunes.

When it comes to the sonic world of a film, music should be used with delicacy and forethought as if it were a character itself. The audience shouldn’t feel manipulated by a score or a song placed over a scene just so, as the cinematic sounds of a movie should simply be another layer inside a moment of its own merit—enhancing our viewing experience by catering to all the senses. -BlackBook

Congratulations goes to White Bird In A Blizzard for being named on BlackBook’s 10 Best Soundtrack and Film Scores of 2014!  Both the score album by Robin Guthrie & Harold Budd and the various artists album, released by Lakeshore Records, were included in this tightly-edited selection.  Go to BBook.com for the full list.

Congratulations to Director William H. Macy and the entire Rudderless cast and crew!

Not surprisingly, the best part of Rudderless is the music (composed by Simon Steadman and Charlton Pettus). Six songs play throughout the film, each one with its own distinct hook. From Sam’s first solo performance, which is notably personal and heartfelt, to the lighter, more upbeat rock songs that dominate the second half, there’s a broad range of music here that gets explored under the folk rock umbrella. The soundtrack is so resonant in fact that it sometimes overshadows the main storyline, although never to the film’s detriment. On the contrary, it actually elevates scenes that might otherwise be less impactful. In terms of story, the songs also mark emotional touchstones for Sam, whose journey often aligns with the music. – Max Nicholson IGN

The Rudderless (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is in good company with Guardians of the Galaxy (#1), Frozen (#7), and The Fault In Our Stars (#8), to name a few.  Love the album?  Don’t forget to share this story with your friends!
