Album Description

On their sixth full-length studio release Melt Banana exercise a hitherto undetected area of their musical musculature: the "rock" region. Summing up an entire album, and one as diverse as Bambi's Dilemma, with such a pedestrian qualifier is risky business, agreed, but it seems to fit like never before. The band, of course, refuses to accommodate any such pigeonholing: "Maybe it is rock, but maybe not. We just make whatever we want. We just follow our own instincts!"

1 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2007-06-23

Amazingly bad. I just saw these guys open up for Tool, and I couldn't believe it. I am open to new stuff, I like wierd things, I like non-conformity in music, but you have to at least have some musical talent to pull it off. To, me this band is like Primus, except without the talent. Thier love show sucked so bad, and I expected to hear some smaples of thier studio work and think "Oh, I get what they were doing, myabe I should give them another try," but thier studio stuff sounds even worse. In cocert, all we could hear was the guitar, could barely hear anything else, and could not hear her "singing". That was a blessing, because all she does is yell annoyingly.



I have not listened to a full studio album by these guys, but I think seeing a live performance is an even better indecation of a band's talent and musical ability. These guys are truly horrible. Nothing creative, no talent, pure crap.

5 out of 5 stars A great follow-up to Cellscape.......2007-06-01

This year I have been disappointed by the new releases of my favorite bands (Arcade Fire and Blonde Redhead). Not so with Melt Banana. They have offered up something with melody, noise, punk and pure chaos. In the best Melt Banana tradition! I had wondered if they could equal Cellscape. They have equaled or perhaps bettered it. There is not a weak track on this album.

5 out of 5 stars Can't stop listening.......2007-05-26

This might be the best Melt-Banana record released to date. Although definitely more accessible to the general populace than some of their previous, significantly weirder records, it doesn't mean that it is by any means boring. The straight ahead pop noise sound is complimented by much more mature composition and musicianship. The drumming is particularly notable.

Blank Page of the Blind might be my favorite song ever.

5 out of 5 stars The best MxBx yet!!!!.......2007-05-23

Anyone whose listened to Melt Banana before would know that they never dissapoint. Every one of their albums has been absolutley incredible, and every song is killer. This album is no exception. And in my opinion, the best one yet. Bambi's Dilemma has more of a rock and roll feel this time around, while still retaining those noise rock/grindcore tendencies. Yako's vocals are absolutely incredible, and Aagata(guitar) seems to be playing more actual riffs this time. All in all, if you like Melt Banana, you know what your getting. If this is your first Melt Banana cd, this is where you should start. And make sure you see them live, theres nothing like it.

5 out of 5 stars Different, but great!.......2007-05-14

I'm not sure what it is with people who automatically cry "sellout!" the second a band shows a stylistic shift. This album is a far cry from "Scratch or Stitch" and "Speak Squeak Creak," with its much poppier songs overall, but it's still great. Anyone who automatically throws this out because it's different from old Melt-Banana stuff just obviously does not welcome experimental change.

I guess it's true what the guys from Bad Acid Trip say in "Funbus."
"The craving for new is something to shun,
thinking is bad, it spoils the fun."

    Clint Eastwood's gritty boxing drama was the big winner at the 2005 Academy Awards, garnering Oscars for Best Film, Best Director (Eastwood), Best Actress (Hillary Swank) and Best Supporting Actor (Morgan Freeman). As it did for 2003's Mystic River, Eastwood's life-long love of music and budding confidence as a composer has led him again to score the film himself. Anchored by elegiac figures for solo acoustic guitar and piano, it often shares River's spacious, subtle introspection. But it's also occasionally seasoned with welcome dollops of jazz and blues, the byproduct of a longstanding love affair with American roots music that also yielded his Charlie Parker biopic Bird and the insightful, Eastwood-produced Thelonius Monk documentary, Straight No Chaser. If its haunting, gently yearning string arrangements lack the bombast and overwrought melodicism that fuel so many Hollywood vehicles, Eastwood's musical sensibility here echoes his contemporary evolution as an actor and director: Surprisingly modern, with an emotionally tender, less-as-more ethos that's light years removed from his action film roots. --Jerry McCulley

    5 out of 5 stars Harmonious, Tender Soundtrack.......2007-01-22

    This soundtrack is worth the buy! From first watching the film, I knew I had to have the music that accompanied it. The guitars gives soothing strains that calms the spirit, and the piano keys gives a satisfying blend of eloquence and rapture. I particularly enjoyed the recurring theme in "Blue Morgan," "Deep in Thought," and "Driving" (I still remember from this track the scene when Maggie said, "I ain't got nobody but you Frankie"). And "Frankie's Office" adds a touch of electric keyboarding that basically did it for me in pulling this whole album in full circle. I collect movie score soundtracks and I am very much pleased to add this to my collection!

    4 out of 5 stars Million Dollar Baby - soundtrack.......2007-01-10

    The simple, haunting melody of the recurring theme (It's Nice Viewing) reveals another facet of whom we know best as Dirty Harry - composer.
    If you enjoyed the movie, having the soundtrack is a must.

    5 out of 5 stars An incredible story of courage, determination and love.......2006-04-24

    Incredible performances by Clint and Hillary Swank.

    4 out of 5 stars Eastwood's score hits it where it counts.......2005-10-30

    The score to Clint Eastwood's 'Million Dollar Baby' is perhaps the most beautiful film music I have ever heard.

    The sound, most notably in the solo Guitar and Piano sections carries a simple, but thoroughly elegant, characteristic, and haunting melody that speaks right to the center of what this film is all about--pain, love, soul-searching, and finding hope, to name a few.

    The music to this film also shows Eastwood's devotion and love of the story, and the music and the visual element click together in a way that few movies and scores match. The bittersweet, haunting refrain of the Piano and the equally bittersweet, hauting melody that is taken up, elaborated, and somewhat varied by the full orchestra serves as a beautiful foil and metaphore to echo the lighting of the film itself, and some of the sets, like the dismal, bare, dark set of the hospital late in the film.

    The subtle variations that are present throughout make it even more wonderful, too. There are a couple Blues numbers in here too, which are no less wonderful than the rest, but do provide some lighter material as well.

    The simplicity of it shines through especially brightly, as well. Most of the music is either the solo Piano or the Guitar, as I have mentioned above, but both show all the emotion without needing the backing of a large ensemble, though in this case, the orchestral sections do not steal the wonderful simplicity of the solo instruments.

    This music has by far the most soul of any score I've heard, and I strongly reccommend you get it. Your money will be well spent. I had a lump in my throat from the first track to the last. Bravo, Clint!!

    5 out of 5 stars If the movie OR the music didn't touch you--yer dead in the ring!.......2005-08-25

    I say this to point out that there are no great films without great music, not just behind the story, but within it..and all wrapped up around it. By not overdoing the arrangements, Eastwood has finely crafted a deep and stirring ambience to accompany, enlighten, and balance the heavy emotion of the characters.
    My Vote: Bravo!

    5 out of 5 stars A Rich & Robust Score.......2001-06-19

    Many of you, like me, may have been wondering what the difference is between this score and the one that was released in the early 90's, also on the Marco Polo label. Well firstly, the earlier release was not complete and also included tracks from House of Frankenstein. This new release basically happened because composer, John Morgan, was unhappy with the initial release and wanted another crack at this forgotten score. The result: a fully complete and terrific score from the 1942 Universal classic, Ghost of Frankenstein. Morgan was able to pull together the resources that Hans J. Salter himself did not have to record the original and give us the score as it was originally intended. Recorded under the supervision of Salter, just before he passed away, this is hands-down the best release of the monster scores from Marco Polo to date. Do not pass up.

    5 out of 5 stars Way over the top!.......2000-06-08

    This music is far and away beyond being exceptional! Messrs. John Morgan and William Stromberg have yet again exceed their past triumphs (I have no clue how they keep doing this!). Where to begin? Perhaps, with some numbers: five stars (out of five) for restoration, arrangement/re-arrangement, and cue selection/editing; five stars for presentation (conducting and orchestral performance); five stars for recording and mastering; and five stars for the fascinating (and huge!) CD booklet courtesy of Messrs. Bill Whitaker and John Morgan (the photo on page 33 is worth the price of admission alone!). With a new orchestral venue and technical crew, Mr. Stromberg has once again "come into his own," acoustically speaking; the technical aspects of past recordings with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra has often been ham handed and uneven to the point of distraction. But the sound on these tracks is definitely 21st Century in quality! For those new to the neighborhood, just who are these two film composer folks--Frank Skinner and Hans J. Salter? Well, among other notable achievements, they saved many a Universal programmer during the late 30's and early-to-mid 40's (and very likely the studios's bacon to boot). When you view Universal's "second wave" of horror films even today, two things instantly grab your attention: the stunning photography and the inventive, pulsating music. "(These) pictures were a great challenge, because ... before scoring they didn't seem to have much fright about them or cohesion either. They'd screen one of those pictures for us without the music, and it would be nothing. The challenge was in creating the sense of terror and suspense, and that is something music can do. All the pictures we saved for them!" Mr. Salter is quoted as saying in the CD booklet. Like many of the film scores of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Salter and Skinner's music transcends and is enormously superior to the films for which they composed. Until Messrs. Morgan and Stromberg got the bit in their teeth, Salter and Skinner's film scores had served to elevate fair-to middling films, but, in turn, it was the poor reputation of these movies that served to suppress vastly underrated film music! NONE of this music has ever been heard like it is presented here. The Universal studio orchestra had barely 40 players; this CD uses a full symphony. Also, Mr. Morgan was able to work extensively with Mr. Salter on restorations during the final year's of the latter's long life. To quote Mr. Salter once more from the CD booklet, the executives at Universal "never knew what they had" in the way of music talent. I strongly recommend that you don't make the same mistake. Latch on to this CD while you still can!

    4 out of 5 stars Much of this shows its classical roots.......2000-05-17

    Some music is great fun, either in itself or by personal associations or both. So when Marco Polo issued selections from the Salter/Skinner scores to "Son of Frankenstein," "The Invisible Man Returns," and "The Wolf Man" back in 1995 and followed up with the complete film score to "House of Frankenstein" by Salter and Dessau, I could not keep from grinning foolishly hearing it, all the time realizing how good some of it really was.

    Now we have (8.225124) that treat us to 22 cuts from "The Ghost of Frankenstein," 8 from "Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror," and a taste of three other films. The very generous program notes tell the whole story, with good lobbycard illustrations, of how this team worked together--one slept as the other worked--and I leave it to you to read all about it for yourself. As for the music itself, listen to the "Monster Theme" in the first suite and think if you will of how Wagner treated the "Dragon Leitmotif" in "Siegfried" to appreciate how classically grounded much of this music is in the tradition of Weber, Wagner, and even Richard Strauss. Not all of the selections are of high quality, but enough are to merit this offering a high rating.

    Happy and spooky listening, folks.

        The third in the `Badmeaningood' series, Dj/Producer `Peanut Butter Wolf' steps up with his entry into this series of musical influences, favourite songs and inspirational tracks. It's probably best to mention that Peanut butter wolf's mix is undeniably an eclectic one....and isn't based purely around Hip-Hop like his earlier albums, and more similarly styled like his `Hip-Hop, Funk, Alternative Rap, Rare groove' collection of records on his sublime "Jukebox 45" album compilation.

        After a brief intro, the knowingly cool old school Hip-hop of "New Adventures of Grandmaster Flash" kicks off the proceedings, and it's as excellent as start as you could possibly have wish for, before moving the mix effortlessly into the more celebratory Party Rap of '45 king's - Funk Box (We Want to Hear the Beat Box)', which flashes it's wares with some excellent beatbox improvisation. But Peanut Butter doesn't rest in the realm of hip-hop for too long, as the Acid Rock of `Iron Butterfly's - Soul Experience' changes the mood into something a little more melodically obscure.

        `Roy Ayers' contributes a superb effort in the shape of "Can't you see me", the stylish soul shouter that is one of a great many highlights on this album, and also has the double effect of highlighting that Roy Ayers made some fantastic singles in his time....Joyously upbeat and features more than a nod to R&B/Jazz crossover, this marks the transition from funk tracks to more song-based Soul/Jazz collection of songs. Bizarrely, (although I'd say ingeniously ), Peanut butter wolf drops an unexpected gem in the shape of "The Human Leagues - Hard Times", that's forgoes jazz/funk/Soul/Rap, and gives a large helping of synth-Pop, New Wave......undeniably catchy, and more than a little unexpected, this catches the listener off-guard , as most listeners were (quite rightly) expecting from a producer such as Peanut butter, to heavily focus his mix around Hip-Hop & classic funk.

        Another unexpected deviation is into Reggae, with the finger pointing self-righteousness from the legendary gravely voiced deejay "Prince Far I", with a slow smoky mood hanging over his track that is as serious in its unrelenting declamatory chanting, as it is in its Druggy-infused Dub instrumentation. Whether peanut butter included this track, to lend this mix a level of seriousness, in amongst some of the more lighted tracks, or this just happens to be a particular favourite of his, isn't clear.....but it truly is a sublime inclusion, separating & distinguishing itself in amongst the rest of these musical gems, and its probably at this point, that the album truly distinguishes itself from being just another excellent mix album.

        "The Jungle brothers" Hip-Hop/Jungle referencing "I'm gonna do you", is by and large more subdued in comparison to their most well-known material, almost afrocentric Hip-Hop in places, this slow's the tempo down somewhat, and harkens back to Hip-Hop's `Golden Age', the raw, basement-level production is pretty rudimentary, but its important not to forget that a sense of fun and positivity that hearkened back to the music's earliest Sugar Hill days, is in evidence here.

        But the final track closer isn't a Hip-hop floor filler or Dj scratched funk track, but the harmonious soul/Rhythm & blues, of "Keni Burke's - Risin' to the Top", Is a truly glorious track to end the album with. Some may bemoan the fact that Peanut butter wolf should have ended the track with something more upbeat, but such is the truly sensual nature of this track, and given the broadly eclectic nature of this album, that to end on an expected note would have defeated the point of the tracks that went before it. And not only ends the album on a positive high, but decisively proves that Peanut Butter Wolf more than amply knows how to construct a exceptional mix album.

        It must be reiterated that fans of his older material, right up till "My Vinyl weighs a ton", should be warned that this has far more in common with his (fairly) eclectic "Jukebox 45's" album, incorporating everything from `Funk / Soul /Jazz / New Wave / Dub & Old School Rap' collated & Mixed into a sublime effort. If you're looking for something more beat heavy or a Hip-hop related to add to your collection....then don't bother with this, as tempos change wildly, Reggae/Dub, sits next to Synth-pop, and there's a far greater range collection of influences here. But the transitions between genres are virtually seamless and there's not a duff track on here. Those that enjoyed the eclecticism of "Jukebox 45's" will find much to enjoy here, and this includes those people that enjoy exceptionally realised mix albums, that don't stick firmly to one genre.......highly recommended.

        I've gotten lazy in my old age and I've become more apt to drop a disc like this during a party. It's a stellar set from a hell of a DJ. PBW seamlessly melds Human League and Joe Jackson with some funky breakbeats and makes it sound as natural as..well, peanutbutter and jelly.

          4 out of 5 stars Excellent for kids and adults.......2000-07-07

          I saw this movie on tv and I loved it. I think it is a great movie to watch with your kids because the woman and her two children never give up. This movie shows a young Helen Hunt in her first movie role and her talents show even at age nine.(i'm a fan of hers)
