Soundtracks: Until The End Of The World / Paris, Texas

 


Tonight’s double feature is dedicated to the soundtracks of Wim Wenders films Paris, Texas (with its haunting music by Ry Cooder) followed by Until The End of the World. 


David Byrne talks about the track Sax And Violins: 

“The music was written during the rehearsals and recording that led to the Naked LP. I wrote the words later for the opening scene of Wim Wenders’ Until the End of the World. The movie is supposed to take place in the year 2000, so I spent a lot of time trying to imagine music of the near future: post-rock sludge with lyrics sponsored by Coke and Pepsi? Music created by machines with human shouts of agony and betrayal thrown in? Faux Appalachian ballads, the anti-tech wave? The same sounds and licks from the 60s and 70s regurgitated yet again by a new generation of samplers? The Milli Vanilli revival? Rappin’ politicos… sell your soul to the beat, y’all? Well, it was daunting… so I figured, hell with it, I’d imagine Talking Heads doing a reunion LP in the year 2000, and them sounding just like they used to.”


 The soundtrack of Wim Wenders’ film UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD - Director’s Cut (1991) is an impressive inventory of the music of the nineties, bringing together U2, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, T-Bone Burnett, Can, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Julee Cruise, Crime & The City Solution, Depeche Mode, Patti & Fred Smith, Neneh Cherry, Daniel Lanois, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Jane Siberry with k.d. lang, and many others. #wimwendersfoundation #germancinema #film #wimwendersstiftung

New Order: RETRO

Image
  So, we've had a greatest hits. A couple in fact. There's been the unofficial split and the unofficial reunion. There's been the "Back to Mine" compilation mix CD. Here's the Box Set. And coming soon, the musical, words by Ben Elton, arrangements by Andrew Lloyd Weber. Have the mighty New Order become conventional in their old age? Or, after a career characterized by wilful individuality, have they just given up resisting? Whatever the reasons, if it puts some cash in their pockets after the creative and financial heaven 'n' hell that was Factory, who could begrudge them? For this, ladies and gentlemen, is New Order. Quite simply, one of the best bands to have ever pressed their dreams into wax. "Retro: The Box Set", beautifully packaged as ever, attempts to encapsulate the sprawling, messy marriage of high art and street culture that is New Order. And it does so like this: Disc One- Pop- selected by Miranda Sawyer Disc Two- Fan- selected by...
