That, plus Prodigy, Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, The Buzzcocks, Orbital, Aphex Twin, The Cure, Gary Numan and most importantly, Body Count.Wrong. Cyberpunk requires a jazz soundtrack, something ageless and haunting that comes from deep within like Billie Holiday or Thelonius Monk.
Mormons believe in Mormon Jesus
(I mean no offense to any actual Mormons on this site)
That cartoon is hilarious but comes from a Fundamentalist anti-Mormon propaganda 'documentary'.
Through the soundtracks for In the Mood for Love and Kung fu Hustle I discovered the cool, jazzy pop singers of 60s Hong Kong. Some of my Chinese-Canadian friends shared their collections with me but I lost them when my backup drive failed.
Voros, you sent me on a dive back into Stephen Chow films all week (rewatching ones I had seen and watching ones I had never got around to seeing). From Beijing with Love was awesome by the way. I noticed a lot of things I had missed in Kung Fu Hustle this time around. One thing I noticed about this song in the film, when they play it at the Ice Cream stand, is how much all the sound and dialogue is clearly in sync with the flow of the song. When they open the cash box, it makes a thud that contributes to the overall rhythm. This is one of the things I love about Hong Kong cinema is the way the music, emotional beats and visuals all come together. Another thing, which might not hold up on further scrutiny, is all the characters in KFH who display looney toons like behavior (getting splatted against a wall for exmample) always seem to turn out to be martial arts experts.
What is best in life?
I dunno, but whatever it is, I'm sure this is the soundtrack for it.
Speaking of Mongolian Throat singing, I recently came across this band...
Edit: One of these days I'm going to actually read that "Learn Mongolian" book I have and be able to understand what they're saying without subtitles.
A shame indeed. This is one of my favorite tunes of all time:RIP Mark Hollis
