Kbrick's use of Singin in the Rain is a great exemplar of what I am striving for though ah but I am going for songs that seem to belong in a film soundtrack in a Tarantino way but which have not been used… Kbrick’s use of Singin in the Rain is a great exemplar of what I am striving for though

But I guess you could argue that A Clockwork Orange isn't really pop cinema... Either way, deserves mention. You missed the biggest one of all time – Singin’ In The Rain.

This list, this is more abstracted around the theme of a soundtrack, where director, composer and others sit around the table swapping track ideas. Unlike a score composition, which I feel serves to punctuate the words uttered in the dialogue or the themes as they recur, soundtrack songs serve to significantly elnogate ot truncate time for the sake of action, or sometimes even for the pure action of the extended tracking shot. Think of the song cranking up as the camera lingers over the face of one of the characters who&#8217;s just come to a major realization to convey the vastness of the particular moment. Think also of the montage - the tune playing over a pastiche of key mini-moments demonstrating progress over the course of a longer stretch of time. So the word &#8220;repurpose,&#8221; as used critically by Mr. Rot in his submission drove the point home about hot to approach this idea of a soundtrack. That and the mention of the oft-invoked Tarantino (heh, fanboys&#8230;) made me realize I needed to selectmy niche soundtrack-director. I couldn&#8217;t really settle into one, so I went with an amalgal - aome 75% is Coen Bros. with 25% Jeunet. I thought carefully over whether it was possible to track the new songs for my playlist with the ghost-factory narrative - I think I kind of can - the relationship part of it, anyhow. It has to be about the relationship - my favorite stylized sountracky directors focus very highly on characterization in favor of basic plot. Haneke is al about internal conflict, as was Mankiewicz, is Cuaron, Julie Taymor&#8230; So this soundtrack is associated with the score that is the previous list - instead of giving you a technical and descriptive paragraoh about the &#8216;moment&#8217; each track represents, I give you one word, embodying as best as possible the progress made in the plot. This part is the score. Were I to make a movie, the original score would have to be composed by John Barry. In the same way that a Tarantino soundtrack sounds unmistakably like a Tarantino soundtrack, this is a Mad Percolator-sounding soundtrack. Hence, this soundtrack contains generous doses of tunes that live on the line between symphonic and electronic genres. Less attention was paid to the blending of tempo between tracks, as presumably there are scenes and dialogue interrupting the tracks. The usual attention was paid to the key of each song, and relating the melodic themes of each track. THE PREVIOUS LIST (1) Elbow - Station Approach (2) Richard Davis - Others (3) Amon Tobin - Slowly (4) Basement Jaxx - Rendez-vu (5) Automato - Focus (6) Wagon Christ - I&#8217;m Singing (7) Feist - Lonely Lonely (Frisbee&#8217;d Mix) (8) Joanna Newsom - Bridges &#38; Balloons Remix (9) VAST - Touched (10) The Vines - Autumn Shade Part II (11) Noir Desir - Le vent nous portera (12) lemon.jelly - Kneel Before Your God [...] [...] My previous list – attached with displays for some of the tracks, was more of a score.

I should have my totally re-done list out and up this evening - you will want to get rid of the list that had originally been there.
