The RZA Presents: Afro Samurai (2007)

By No comments
Country: U.S.A.
Genre: Film Score, Hip-Hop
Label Number: KOC-CD-4187
 
© 2007 Koch Records
The soundtrack to the anime series Afro Samurai is executive produced and, for the most part, also produced by the RZA, the ideal option to apply hip-hop to Japanese animation. The RZA has always been known for his deep admiration of the martial arts, and he knocked his first scoring opportunity -- Ghost Dog, which is best heard on the JVC Japan edition -- out of the park. With credits for Kill Bill and Blade Trinity also under his belt, he smoothly transitions into Afro Samurai, composing a hard-hitting intro, several incidental pieces, and a handful of MC-led tracks, with brief appearances from the likes of Big Daddy Kane, GZA, Talib Kweli, Suga Bang, and himself. On Ghost Dog, he worked a sparse, gritty gracefulness; here, the feel is more epic, sleek, and turbulent, with dialogue (including plenty from Samuel L. Jackson as Afro, the protagonist in search of avenging his father's killers) laid over a generous amount of the score material. A pair of nearly torrid, reverb-heavy slow jams come from R&B duo Stone Mecca, who sound somewhat contemporary while owing much to Michael Henderson's and Prince's steamiest falsetto ballads (and that's no gripe). Another outside R&B cut, produced by M1 and featuring vocalist Maurice, is too pleasant and clean-cut to really fit into the flow of the program. As a bonus, or an enticement for RZA fans who might feel skeptical about a project not wholly reliant on RZA and rhymes, four tracks from a future Bobby Digital album are added.

Various Artists - The RZA Presents Afro Samurai Resurrection: The Soundtrack (2009)

Label Number: WU-6260-2

If you make a dark-streets-meets-karate anime there’s probably a law that when it comes to the soundtrack, the Wu-Tang’s RZA gets first refusal. The rapper/producer’s soundtrack to Afro Samurai: The Resurrection is the first release on his Wu Music Group imprint. It recalls his work on 1999’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, but ten years on and he’s gotten more subterranean and mysterious. It's only when higher-profile guest stars like Ghostface Killah, Kool G Rap, and even Sly Stone show up that he’s drawn out of his Wu-bunker and influenced to create more hook-filled backing tracks. The rest is a smoky kung-fu dream with lesser-known Wu-soldiers like Rugged Monk and Black Knights spitting the shaolin rhetoric over foggy loops and haunted strings. Taking into consideration Stone’s minimal contribution, this release is primarily for the die-hard Wu-fans who get plenty to dissect, analyze, and cross-reference with all of RZA’s other fringe releases.

Iron Monkey - Our Problem (1998) ☠

By , No comments
Country: United Kingdom
Genre: Sludge Metal
Label Number: MOSH 207 CD
 
☠: Selected by Buccaneer
© 1998 Earache
AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson
After debuting with a self-titled EP in 1998, Iron Monkey provided its first full-length album with Our Problem. On this blistering, in-your-face CD, the British headbangers combine Black Sabbath-influenced guitar riffs with the type of distorted, screaming, tortured vocals that were quite common in both industrial noise and alternative metal in the 1990s. It's almost impossible to understand the lyrics that vocalist John Paul Morrow is singing, but then, it isn't crucial that you do. The very sound of his vocals creates and maintains a noisy, obnoxious type of ambiance, and that's exactly what Iron Monkey was going for. Iron Monkey was hardly the only band that was doing this type of thing in the 1990s; Cavity, for example, also thrived on a marriage of Sabbath-influenced riffs and distorted, industrial-like vocals. But Our Problem isn't as dense or as claustrophobic as Cavity's Supercollider, and it gives the listener a little more breathing room. That isn't to say that Our Problem doesn't take a sledgehammer approach--Monkey brings the sledgehammer down without apology, and in the process, it delivers a CD that fans of alternative metal will enjoy.

Quirky, romantic comedies starring Drew Barrymore demand quirky, indie/alternative rock soundtracks, and the sixteen cuts that adorn the audio accompaniment to 2010’s Going the Distance, dutifully rises to the occasion, despite the exclusion of the song “Going the Distance” by Cake. Offering up a winning blend of indie rock royalty (Cat Power, Passion Pit, Albert Hammond Jr.) and post-punk/alt-rock icons (Pretenders, Replacements, The Cure), Going the Distance is the sound of you, the twenty/thirtysomething listener, pressing the shuffle button your smart phone/MP3 player.

 The soundtrack for About Time, the 2013 British romantic comedy from Love Actually writer and director Richard Curtis, dutifully reflects its story's time travel premise with a 17-song set of (mostly) previously released selections from the likes of the Killers ("Mr. Brightside"), Groove Armada ("At the River"), Amy Winehouse ("Back to Black"), and Nick Cave ("Into My Arms"). Ben Folds offers up a new, heavily orchestrated version of his sentimental 2001 ballad "The Luckiest," while ex-Dream Academy mastermind Nick Laird Clowes offers up a pair of wistful piano pieces ("Golborne Road" and "The About Time Theme") from his evocative score.

Label Number: 5344336

As with Edgar Wright's other movies, the apocalyptic pub crawl World's End has a witty, fitting soundtrack. The film follows a group of friends as they try to top an epic night out they had 20 years before, and the bulk of these songs recapture the very best of Brit-pop, indie, and pop that the late '80s and early '90s had to offer. Along with stone-cold indie classics like Suede's "So Young," Pulp's "Do You Remember the First Time?," the Sundays' "Here's Where the Story Ends," Inspiral Carpets' "So This Is How It Feels," and Teenage Fanclub's "What You Do to Me," the set also digs deeper into the era with slightly lesser-known cuts such as the Housemartins' "Happy Hour" and the Beautiful South's "Old Red Eyes Is Back." A good chunk of World's End's music exists in the intersection between indie and dance that led to trends like baggy back in the day, and the party-hard sounds of Primal Scream's "Loaded," the Soup Dragons' "I'm Free," and the Happy Mondays' "Step On" make the perfect contrast to the dire situations in which the film's characters find themselves. World's End isn't just more entertaining than your average soundtrack, it's also a lot more fun than most compilations of '90s music, making it a worthwhile listen for those who haven't seen the movie but love the sounds of that time.

Fountains of Wayne - Traffic & Weather (2007)

By No comments
Country: U.S.A.
Genre: Alternative Rock
Label Number: 74420 2

Fountains of Wayne finally managed to score that big hit single their fans always knew they had in them when "Stacy's Mom" became a fluke hit a few months after the release of their third album, 2003's Welcome Interstate Mangers. Anybody worried that success had spoiled the power pop quartet shouldn't find their long-awaited fourth album, Traffic and Weather -- its title song a nifty ploy to get drive-time radio plugs, but also fitting right into the Jersey roadside themes of the titles -- a disappointment, nor should it offer much in way of surprises. Perhaps the slight traces of a disco-rock beat on the opening track/lead single, "Someone to Love," shows some evidence of copping to modern trends, but Fountains of Wayne still remain devotees of classic pop -- usually guitar-driven power pop, but they'll spike that with some Bacharach horns or country-rock if the mood strikes them. If the sound is unabashedly, even defiantly classicist, that's balanced by Adam Schlesinger's obsession with chronicling the weird incidental byroads of modern America in his lyrics. He packs odd, telling details into each of his songs, whether it's how the disaffected, lonely photo retoucher in "Someone to Love" spends her Thursdays watching King of Queens or how the jealous narrator in "This Better Be Good" notices the light blue Dockers on the guy who is holding the hand of his girlfriend. Even if they're often used in the service of joke setups or punch lines, such details give the songs weight and help Fountains of Wayne seem contemporary when their music is grounded in the '60s and '70s and could have been released anytime in the last 20 years; the dance beats underpinning the title song sound like new wave, while the synths and phased vocals on the quite wonderful on-the-run-from-loan-sharks tale "Strapped for Cash" brings to mind early-'80s AOR (a fact underscored by the "heart attack-ack-ack-ack" reference to Billy Joel's "Movin' Out"). Such lyrical and musical flourishes keep Traffic and Weather from sounding too similar to previous FOW platters, but there is something missing here: a truly knockout single, along the lines of "Radiation Vibe," "Stacey's Mom," or even "Maureen" from their B-sides comp, Out of State Plates (or for that matter, "Pop Goes My Heart," the Schlesinger-written Wham! homage for Music and Lyrics that was on the charts at the time of the release of Traffic and Weather). It's sturdy, well-written power pop, but it falls prey to some of the faults of craftsmanlike pop -- mainly, it's possible to hear the craft behind the pop instead of just getting sucked into the sugar rush of the melodies. Even so, Traffic and Weather is hardly a bad record, and should satisfy anyone who has loved Fountains of Wayne before, even if it doesn't quite excite them.

The non-score soundtrack for Real Steel, director Shawn Levy’s surprisingly emotive sci-fi family action film about boxing robots, opens rough and ready with “Fast Lane” from Bad Meets Evil, which features Royce da 5’9” and Eminem. What follows is a fairly textbook summary of what the late '90s sounded like, with Foo Fighters, Limp Bizkit, Crystal Method, Prodigy, and Tom Morello offering up their own Rock 'Em Sock 'Em jams, all of which appear in PG form, lest the kiddies expand their vocabularies with colorful words they’ve probably already heard a million times. Elsewhere, the Beastie Boys provide “Here’s a Little Something for Ya” from 2011’s excellent Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2, and composer Danny Elfman gets a few minutes at the end to provide a taste of his Firefly-inspired score with “Kenton.”

Regardless of the strengths and failings of the Twilight Saga movies, their soundtracks captured the mood of each book perfectly. Breaking Dawn was split into two films, so the movie of the book’s first half is more or less a celebration of Bella and Edward’s love, and a chance for fans to see the wedding they’ve been anticipating for years. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 1 follows suit, delivering more than a few love songs that are surprisingly angst-free compared to the previous soundtracks. Imperial Mammoth's “Requiem on Water” could inspire the first dance at a wedding reception, while Angus & Julia Stone's “Love Will Take You”’s cheery folk beams with the satisfaction of finding a soulmate. The Features' “From Now On” turns that happiness into energetic pop, and Cider Sky's “Northern Lights” takes it in a sparkly electronic direction akin to Owl City. Even more somber tracks like Aqualung and Lucy Schwartz's “Cold” and Mia Maestro's “Llovera” make it clear that dedication is unquestioned. A handful of more aggressive tracks crash this party: the Joy Formidable's “Endtapes,” the Belle Brigade's “I Didn’t Mean It,” and the Noisettes' “Sister Rosetta [2011 Version]” sound all the feistier next to the gauzy romance of most of these songs, while Bruno Mars returns to the oddly violent side of his songwriting (à la “Grenade”) for “It Will Rain,” the only truly troubled-sounding song here. Still, the most notable thing about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 1 is its unabashed romanticism, and the album more than serves its purpose as a Twilight-branded wedding playlist.

Various Artists - The Twilight Saga Forever: Love Songs From The Twilight Saga (2014)

Arriving a year after the final installment of Breaking Dawn, The Twilight Saga: Forever proves that there's still some (after)life in the vampire film franchise's music. The two-disc set gathers the most romantic songs from each of the five Twilight movies -- with the notable exception of Paramore's "Decode," which is arguably the most iconic song associated with the saga. Aside from that omission, the collection plays more or less like Twilight's greatest hits, with Metric's "Eclipse (All Yours)," Sia's "My Love," and Beck and Bat for Lashes' "Let's Get Lost" among the highlights. The inclusion of songs from artists ranging from Battles to Lykke Li to Lupe Fiasco to Green Day emphasizes the surprising diversity of Twilight's music, as does the inclusion of excerpts from Howard Shore, Alexandre Desplat, and Carter Burwell's scores. For fans who already have all the soundtracks, a poster of a vamped-up Bella with Edward and Jacob should sweeten the deal.
