Midnight Video

An archive of two chaps, a laptop and a mic attempting to unearth the lost, forgotten and overlooked in cinema.

Midnight Video Head Cleaner: Midnight Video Mixtape Vol. 1 Side B

MIDNIGHT_VIDEO_small.jpg

Here it is folks as promised, the flipside of the Midnight Video mixtape.
More sonic oddities extracted from some of the cinematic gems that we've covered on the show over the last year.
I have to admit that even I was surprised by some of the audio discoveries that I made in order to compile side B, a case in point being the Dick Tracy OST which features a swinging 90s hip hop track from non other than Bodycount vocalist Tracy Lauren Marrow aka. Ice-T.
And also of note is Dominic Frontiere's score for Lesley Steven's Bergmanesque, Shatner-starring, Esperanto-garbled curiosity Incubus.  Of course Frontiere went on to score what could be considered the compositional jewel in his crown; The Stunt Man but it's interesting to see the lineage from his The Outer Limits work to the excellent and unsung Richard Rush movies.
So once again, sit back relax and be thankful you have another opportunity to be free of our gibbering gobbledygook.
