Undertones: Volume 7 It's the time of the year again where folks' minds turn to the macabre and the ghoulish; where death is celebrated rather than feared and of course, when dusty copies of horror films are taken off the shelf to terrify and amuse. So, in honor of the Halloween season it would seem only right that this installment of Undertones concern itself with the scores of horror films or, more specifically, those that emerged during a particularly groundbreaking and ultra-violent decade of cinema - the 1970s. Many of the horror films of the 1970s did not involve supernatural beings such as vampires, werewolves and swamp things, but the terrors of home and society at large. The menacing figures of films such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Hooper, 1974) and Halloween (Carpenter, 1978) may have worn crazy masks and looked decidedly 'un-human' but the messages these films posited concerned themselves with that of »

Film and TV is a unique medium in that it is usually comprised of a combination of disciplines: Literature, photography, design, theater and music, just to name a few. All these aspects work in tandem in service to the larger picture to provide an all-encompassing artistic experience.
Music, like any other artform has a tendency from time to time re-invent itself. Constantly challenging what has come before, and discovering new means of expression. Often, we can tell the period from which a piece has been composed simply by its stylistic choices: the jazzy '60s, the disco '70s, the techno '80s... and so on.
Film music has always had an important part in the overall emotional impact of a movie. Whether it takes the back seat in providing an aural landscape, or front and centre with sweeping musical themes. Some may argue that music, when it services the film correctly, »

For the legion of Tarantino fans who are still reading, get excited. Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards,” set to hit theaters on August 21, now has an *official* soundtrack. The listing is in French, as it comes to us via an informational Pdf posted on the Cannes Film Festival website. I’ve copied it here and filtered out the extraneous information the best that I could, but the truly curious should proceed directly to the “Inglorious Bastards” press page on the Cannes Film Festival website.

So far, what we’ve gotten from Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Inglourious Basterds film have been numerous posters, images and actual footage (including a wicked first trailer). Well, those are all really cool, but one thing we haven’t gotten to know up until this point is the soundtrack for the film - a trademark of Tarantino’s movies in and of itself.
Today, thanks to AICN, we have a soundtrack listing for Inglourious Basterds, something any Tarantino fan should be excited to see. The list is from a press release at Cannes, so logically it’s in French. However, the song titles and artists can be read okay, check out the list below:
