Gladiator - OST

Genere: OST

Recording Year: Decca, 2001.

This second soundtrack compilation for Ridley Scott's sword and toga epic, Gladiator, hit stores nine months after the movie's initial release. It was timed to capitalize on the film's front-runner status in the 2000 Oscar horse race, but it would be shortsighted to dismiss the disc as a wholly mercenary attempt to milk the Gladiator cash cow. Perhaps such claims would be warranted if Gladiator: More Music From the Motion Picture were what its title implies: a collection of excerpts from the film's original soundtrack that were left off of the first album. The initial album, Gladiator: Music From the Motion Picture, remains more than adequate as a summary of a highly eclectic and effective score which is not only Hans Zimmer's finest composition (thanks in large part to contributions by former Dead Can Dance vocalist Lisa Gerrard) but also one of the most original facets of an otherwise overblown and overrated blockbuster action flick. Thankfully, the second Gladiator CD is not merely an accumulation of leftover scraps of music. Rather, it is a fascinating audio diary, an inside look at the process of composing a film score. Zimmer's liner notes provide detailed accounts of the stories behind each discarded outtake and incomplete draft. One track is a fabulous vodka-inspired late-night jam between Zimmer's synthesizers and strings, Djivan Gasparyan's duduk, and Heitor Periera's Spanish guitar. Another is a faster, African-influenced version of Gerrard's stirring end credit theme, "Now We Are Free," that was abandoned for being too cheerful. It is clear from listening to the CD that these recordings were not rejected because the music was of an inferior quality to the final versions. In fact, some of these pieces are more inventive and listenable than anything on the soundtrack. They were cut simply because they did not meet the requirements of the narrative. Gladiator: More Music From the Motion Picture demonstrates strikingly not only how creative but also how exacting, meticulous, practical, and utilitarian a film composer must be.

Colourbox - Best of 82 / 87

Género: Rock

Artistas similares: Wolfgang Press. Heaven 17, MAARS

Año de grabación : 4AD, 2001.


Colourbox were an English electronic musical group on the 4AD record label in the 1980s. They attempted an electronically-tinged reggae and soul influenced pop music, constrained by the technology they had access to at the time. They released a number of records from 1982 until 1987. The band was formed by the brothers Martyn and Steve Young, with guest singers until Lorita Grahame joined as a permanent member in 1983.

The first release - a four track mini-album simply titled "Colourbox" released in 1983 - displayed the band's fledgling experimental sound - with pop tunes fractured and distorted out of shape by all manner of cut-and-paste tomfoolery. After a handful of singles, a full album followed in 1985 - also titled "Colourbox" - which further refined the band's diverse palette, mixing sample-splattered power-punk instrumentals with elegaic piano pieces ("Just Give 'Em Whiskey" and "Sleepwalker" respectively), commercial pop ("The Moon Is Blue", "Suspicion") and more reggae and soul covers (U-Roy's "Say You" and The Supremes' "You Keep Me Hanging On"). It was to remain the band's only proper album.

However, for a brief time Martyn Young's name would still appear as a producer credit on records by acts as diverse as The Christians and fellow label-mates The Wolfgang Press, whilst former singer Lorita Grahame was last seen gracing vocal duties on a record released by short-lived One Little Indian act Hit The Floor (a cover of Edwin Starr's late-70s disco smash "Contact"). Since then, very little has been heard from any of the members from the camp save for a brief return to promotional duties for Martyn Young in 2001 to oversee the release of the rather disappointing and anything-but-fully-representative "The Best Of Colourbox 82-87".

Psychedelic Furs - Greatest Hits

Género /Gender: Alternative Rock, Post Punk, New Wave

Año de grabación / Recording year: Legacy, 2001.

Aparecieron en la escena punk británica en 1977. En origen, el grupo estaba formado por Richard Butler, Tim Butler (hermano del anterior), Duncan Kilburn (saxofón) y Roger Morris (guitarra). En 1979 se añadirían Vince Ely, a la batería, y John Ashton.

El punk proscribía el rock psicodélico, pero los "Furs", huyendo de las limitaciones, no lo descartaron. El resultado fue una música que se acercaba más al pop que al punk, una combinación de guitarras canturreantes y saxofón, con una intensa y equilibrada sección rítmica, y el complemento de la singular voz, unas veces cálida y otras desgarrada, del líder de la banda, cantante y responsable de las letras, Richard Butler. Su música fue calificada por un avispado crítico inglés como "beautiful chaos" ('hermoso caos').

En su primer disco se observa grandemente influido por David Bowie.

La banda se separó a principios de los 90. Años más tarde los hermanos Butler fundaron el grupo Love Spit Love.

The punk prohibited the psychedelic rock, but " Furs" , fleeing from the limitations, they did not discard it. The result was a music that approached more to pop than to punk, a combination of guitars and sax, with an intense and balanced rythmical section, and the complement of a singular voice, sometimes warm and others heartbraking, of the leader of the band, singer and person in charge of the letters, Richard Butler. His music was described by English critical like " beautiful chaos".

In its first production it is observed greatly influenced by David Bowie.

Years later the Butler brothers founded the group Love Spit Love.

Garden Of Delight - Nuctemeron 1991/1997

Género: Gothic/hard rock

Artistas similares: The sisters of mercy, Nin, Fields of nephilim



Garden Of Delight es un grupo de gothic rock alemán, influenciado sobre manera por grupos como Fields of the Nephilim y Sisters of Mercy, se ha movido en ciclos desde su inicio a principios de los 90, como la banda que mejor recogió las enseñanzas de los grupos fundadores del estilo, y así crear uno propio al que se han mantenido fieles desde entonces. En el primer ciclo (91-97) se plantearon un objetivo muy concreto, editar 7 albumes en 7 años, cada uno con 7 canciones. Esto que parecería un poco raro, tiene su fundamientación en la ideología del grupo, el cual retoma ideas de H.P. Lovecraft y Aliester Crowley.

Ocultismo y esoterismo es el estandarte que mueven las letras y sonidos de GOD, siempre con una voz muy particular de su vocalista Artaud y la predominancia de sintetizadores y riffs muy bien aplicados.

Este trabajo conjunta precisamente esa primera etapa, donde el grupo escaló de trabajos medianamente aceptables ("ENKI's temple", "Epitaph" y "Sargonid Seal") a obras maestras (como "Necromanteion IV", "Symbol and vision", "Scheoul" y "Paradise").

Aunque están muy clavados en su onda necromántica y eso llegara a dejar fuera mucha audiencia, es un muy buen grupo y lo puedes disfrutar sin problemas si te adentras en su música, y dejas de lado sus concepciones.

Este álbum recopila los mejores tracks de esta primera etapa.
