Album Description

Errol Morris' adroitly assembled documentary film "The Fog of War" examines the career of Robert S. McNamara-- United States Secretary of Defense during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations and whose tenure includes the Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crises. Combining excerpts from 26 hours of interviews with McNamara, archival footage, filmed recreations, as well as newly declassified White House recordings Morris' filmmaking illuminates a national past that ominously parallels the contemporary political present. Morris reveals what previous biographies failed to investigate—the relationship between McNamara and the infamous United States General Curtis LeMay and their involvement in the firebombing of Tokyo—along with 67 other Japanese cities—in 1945. Errol Morris states "The easy thing to say would be McNamara is a bad guy, he did all these bad things...the story is more complex and far more interesting than I imagined. The disturbing thing is that this was a man with real ethical dimension who did something terrible."

As with music previously contributed to Morris' films, Philip Glass' score to "The Fog of War" effortlessly supports and enhances the film. The music, at times lyrical and at other times intense, deepens the horrifying images of war, highlighting the ambiguities of McNamara's character—and the consequences of his actions. Glass' music reinforces Morris' effort to understand the difficult ethical questions about governing and power raised by "The Fog of War".

Album Description

The acclaimed composer's score to the 2003 documentary by Errol Morris, their third collaboration. The film is subtitled ''11 Songs From The Life of Robert S. McNamara. Orange Mountain Music.

(G)lassy.......2007-07-28

Some people hear things others never do. Of these, a few write them down. Of these, a small number create a theme and variations upon it that cohere and enthrall.

Philip Glass belongs to this minute group of human beings. Fortunately for us, recorded music exists to make his work available to all and at any time. His soundtrack for the Errol Morros documentary on Robert McNamara is a lesson in how to create film music that unobtrusively ups the ante of the film it graces.

Glass' score both intensifies and accelerates the movie. It is nearly impossible for one not to experience a quickened pulse when Glass pulls together--of all things, a snare drum, a bit of low brass, and a flute.

Ah, that flute. It floats in and out of track after track, bereft of its customary vibrato, a penetrating, entrancing reminder that something serious is going on in the film. It is a masterful use of a small, metal pipe. At the command of Glass, the humble flute and its younger brother the piccolo punch considerably above their weight.

Who could write such a work? Probably only Philip Glass.

The movie's pretty good, too.

Excellent.......2006-08-09

Intriguing historical account of MacNamara- what he was thinking, what he did not say during two administrations involved in the Viet Name war. Use of film footage and Philip Glass' eerie and ominous soundtrack further developed the power of this film.

The film was great, but the score made it outstanding. .......2004-08-05

Ever thought about what it would be like to watch a film with no muscial score? I have and I did for this documentary. Believe me when I write this, there's no way this film would have been as good without Glass' melodic brutality looming in the background.

Glass does something wonderful with this score; he gives war, uncertainty, doubt and fear a musical element, an audible personality that captures each bomb, burnt building and ominous threat in complete perfection, leaving your ears and your mind in a state of disbelief and amazement, thinking to yourself, "Wow, that music fits this segment like a glove."

The Thin Blue Line score made me an instant Glass fan but this score made me borderline Glass fanatic.

In my opinion, he surpasses Carter Burwell in the category of most unflinching film composer.......by a long shot.

A Great Soundtrack for a Great Film.......2004-05-24

Errol Morris is the best documentary film maker ever and The Fog of War is his crowning achievement. The film explores the complexity of war and how it evolves. There is no political bias or agenda here...just plain truth and facts. Great work. Equal to the task is Phillip Glass's soundtrack. The music is haunting and eerie.

ANOTHER GREAT GLASS SCORE!.......2004-03-31

I'll keep this review short, just like the length of the pieces on the CD. This is yet another great score by Glass, and superbly recorded as well. Glass uses his classic strings and percussion to great effect and oftentimes great surprise as well.

This score has more variety than Glass's score for another Morris film, "The Thin Blue Line". By the way, will "The Thin Blue Line" ever get released on DVD?

The pieces are all short ones, which makes it an easier listen for Glass newbies I would imagine, but I would have preferred a few longer pieces- all the short pieces make it sound like "Glass fragments"- on some pieces once Glass gets going he has to come to a stop.

Still, I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful CD!

Always good.......2006-01-28

A few years ago Michael Gira did some folk music. Later he released some records by Devendra Banhart. Now he has a band of four Devendras. It is pretty interesting results. "Awake" is almost Beatlesque. That goes into the crazy Captain Beefheart jazz of "Moment." Some of the Akron stuff is folk music and some is psychedelic rock. "Raising The Sparks" is much like some cool Prog Rock. Gira covers a Dylan song "I Pity The Poor Immigrant." The song "The Provider" reminds me the most of The Swans. "One For Hope" is a really lovely sounding song. "Mother/Father" is really a new version of an old Swans songs. Gira makes it sound very tribal. "Come For My Woman" sounds like it could be in a Sergio Leone film. Gira has done a lot of recent interesting music in the past three years. Hopefully this is not overlooked.

sad that imagination it fades because everyone must get paid..........2005-12-24

the only thing "wrong" with this cd is that there are some strange breaks and inconsistencies: but that comes from any split project. and who needs another cd that is a coherent whole from beginning to end? let's have the edges...

there is absolutely nothing less than glowing that can be said about akron/family. musically & vocally: genius. (a word reserved for few) lyrically: simple yet poetic and intensely critical & crazy smart. their half of this split cd collects their recent newer material from their live set, which is phenomenal. it is quite different from their s/t debut (which doesn't disappoint). yes, there are 60s psychedelic riffs; yes, there is even a touch of 70s rocker rock. and yes, there is a lot of perverse partridge family harmonizing. for the kids, moments will sound a lot like a cross btw dungen + devendra + the partridge family + brian jonestown massacre, with a little bit of inexplicable, uncontainable, incomparable postpunk energy thrown in. (live, they do convey the pure power of mid90s swans shows: more than the gira connection. that still wall of sound effect, however, translates less in the recordings.) every a/f track is exquisite, differently. "future myth" should be played in nurseries. "dylan part ii" is melancholia in motion.
"oceanside" picks up the quieter sounds of their debut (a la "sorrow boy," a personal fave). "raising sparks," though, is the standout...and literally the show closer: not only the 60s riffs but the evangelical style raising of the ghost. if you're not dancing, even a little bit, you're just dead inside!

when combined with gira for the last 5 tracks, akron/family quietly breathe some life into the songs. despite what the other reviewer says, i don't think these tracks are much like the other angels discs... not even like "AoL sing other people" (which was gira w/ the boys, too). here gira seems to give them more room, they seem to be working more comfortably together, and it works. these tracks are darker than "sing" (even though that is *lyrically* not as cheery as i've seen other reviewers elsewhere believe it is), and is in a vein closer to "burning world" era swans meets velvet underground moments. yes, weird. the dylan cover contains most of the twang of other angels discs. it's totally anomalous & disruptive & doesn't belong here except for the sheer irony. but to hear gira do dylan is a nice centerpiece. so that track nicely splits apart (not segues) the 2 halves of the split. the cd rounds out w/ 4 tracks that are really stunning. the redo of "mother/father" takes what was only an ok original (tho do love jarboe) and actually transforms it into a whole new & quite incredible song. "come for my woman"--the last track--starts in a way closest to older angels material, but it has the a/f choir effect that is quite strange, and then it comes around to an end that wraps up the whole cd with a strangely powerful drone.

hopefully gira & the akron boys imaginations won't fade & they'll still get paid... buy this cd.

Darn Good/Waiting For More.......2005-11-24

So, a quickie album of sorts, split between Akron/Family and Akron/Family playing M Gira's backing band. The first 7 songs are from the Akrons and they surprised me. I'd already heard their debut album and wasn't blown away by it. I thought they were decent, but nothing truly spectacular for the genre they're in. But here, the sounds are much broader in scope.
"Raising the Sparks," for one, is just craziness. It starts off with a 60's/classic rock riff. About 1/3 of the way through, the song shifts into a looney, shouted melody that is incessant, despite its oddity. The last 1/3 of the song shifts to something else entirely, the kind of sweet, but off-kilter stuff one could've imagined would come from Brian Wilson.
With Gira's voice, a different mood takes hold. The cover of Dylan's "I Pity the Poor Immigrant" is very good and the performance of it very straight-forward. The version of Swans' "Mother/Father" is a totally different take on the song, originally sung by Jarboe, here it is Gira taking the lead with Akron/Family sounding like a choir of drunkards in Hell. Overall, nothing strikingly new or different for Gira, but as always, the quality is very high, the songs and performance very good. If you already like AoL, this will not disappoint.
If you're a fan of this stuff, check out these 2 bands: Palodine and Strange Rebel Frequency.

Good, but not great.......2003-06-01

I was looking for a Stephen Foster CD that was not "jazzed up" and maintained the closest fidelity to the old-time recordings. This CD did not disappoint. Most of the renditions of the lesser-known Foster classics are excellent. "Old Black Joe" is particularly moving.

My only problem is with the two old standards: Camptown Races and Oh! Susanna. I get the impression that the vocalist was trying to put his own "stamp" on these two very familiar tunes by accenting odd syllables or using strange intonations. At any rate, they ended up sounding cheesy so that my family members ended up making fun of the idiosyncracies introduced by the singer rather than singing along with the familiar words and melody. Oh! well...

Gem of an Album.......2002-12-26

I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering the full scope of Foster's musical genius through this biography and album of popular Foster songs, choral gems, piano delights, and chamber music arrangements. Douglas Jimerson and Sheryl Cohen have the ideal voices for Foster's beautiful parlor songs.

Great American Music.......2003-04-18

I originally purchased this for the Ruggles, but I'm very pleased to have recordings the other composers. Wonderful cd.

Some stunning lesser known american pieces.......2001-07-30

The standouts are the Harris organ and brass piece, available nowhere else that I know of. Organic development of motifs to a massive climax. The two Ives pieces are also firstrate. "From the steeples to the mountains" lives up to Ives' description: And then the rocks began to shout. "Let there be light" sounds as though it could have led to his parting ways with the church he was organist for in the early 1900s.

The other pieces are pretty minor. The Carl Ruggles piece is interesting.

If the black-vampire-hunter-as-action-hero genre isn't exactly oversaturated, it's hardly because of the strong star turns of Wesley Snipes in the film adaptations of the popular Blade graphic novels. This sequel to the '98 original may have a plot hole (or three), but Marco Beltrami takes the baton from the original vamp-hunting thriller's Mark Isham and delivers a rousing orchestral score full of dark corners and ominous percussive thunder. While the film's strong, club-mix-heavy song score emphasizes the story's contemporary setting, Beltrami instinctively gets the tale's gothic, sword 'n' sorcery roots, punctuating his rhythmic, suspenseful score with blasts of Barbarian-friendly blasts of brass. The title track fuses the composer's dramatic instincts with the back-to-the-'70s synth-swagger of electronica artist-producer Danny Saber, while "Nomack the Knife" is anything but playful, powered by a beat-heavy symphonic wallop that just might clear the dance floor. --Jerry McCulley

#Not a review of the actual score, but soundtrack#

Look, for those of you coming to this in search for the songs appearing in the movie other than the composed pieces for the movie will find them on the release titled SOUNDTRACK. Yes, they did pull a big nasty on us with the first soundtrack release with Blade (not II). But if you [iago27sp, I understand your frustration, I can relate] would look a little closer..there is a soundtrack for Blade II, which does actually feature many of the songs appearing in the movie (yet cdnow requires searching for Blade 2, not Blade II, to find it)..take a look..they call this a SCORE for a reason =)

Good luck in your search (to everyone).

What a SNORE! Don't waste your money..........2002-11-28

Don't waste your hard earned money on this one. Just like the last movie, the original score is a bore.

Looking for a Song from the movie.......2002-11-12

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays after Blade emerges from the pool of blood in the last few minutes of the movie when he begins attacking all the security guards in Blade 2?

They did it to us again........2002-11-02

Remember all the bumpin jams from the last movie that didn't seem to make it onto the soundtrack? Well, it's the same with this soundtrack. I too was interested in the songs from the 'House of Pain' scene. The good news is that I found them. (That's right, there are two songs in that scene.) The first one--the one with lyrics that begins right when they show all the vampires dancing--is "Tao of the Machine" by BT, and The Roots. Run a search on google, I found a downloadable mp3 from some foreign site. The second song, the techno music without lyrics, is "Blood is Pumping" by Voodoo and Serano. I hope this helps everyone looking for the GOOD music from the movie.

Album Description

Instrumental trio Green Light is drummer Adam Snow, bassist Dustin Hofsess, and guitarist Kevin Gill. This is a band that is coming from many different places musically. As a result, the Green Light audience is made up of an interesting variety of people: jazzers and rockers, the folky and the funky, hippies and computer programmers, the drunk and the devout... Each of them finds something about Green Light's music that draws them into the swirling vortex of energy that this band creates.

The group draws from a deep well of influences. Some key points of departure are: the spirituality, intense energy, and exploratory improvisation of saxophone master John Coltrane; the raw blues-rock power, and psychedelic colors of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd; the funky rhythmic tension and down- home soul of the Meters and Sly & the Family Stone; the groundbreaking jazz/rock/funk fusion of Miles Davis; the beautiful reggae grooves of Bob Marley & the Wailers. As well as drawing inspiration from these relatively well known artists, Green Light infuses their music with sounds from all over the globe, including African, Indian, Middle Eastern, Cuban, and Brazilian musical elements.

Green Light music is powerful, raw, soulful, mysterious, spontaneous, positive and life-affirming. This is music made for people who long for originality and unadulterated creativity. To experience Green Light is to be taken on a consciousness-expanding trip

flows, goes, and blows my mind.......2005-09-27

very very melodic, the jams are eccentric in a good mellow, fasinating way that captivates you and almost holds you in the music not letting you turn it off or down. the musicianship is superb. i would most deffinantly recommend getting this cd if you are any fan of music at all, you will not be let down i promise. the three in the band know what they are doing and know how they are doing it. you will not get tired of them. the media reviews are not misleading at all latin, jazz, african, cuban, its all there in the music. music lovers beware... you may have just found your new favorite band
