VA - Warner Bros., 75 Years of Film Music [1998] (4 x CDS)

SOUNDTRACK

VA - Warner Bros., 75 Years of Film Music [1998] (4 x CDS)

Released by Rhino Records in 1998, Warner Bros, 75 Years of Film Music is a sweeping 4-CD anthology that chronicles the studio’s cinematic legacy through its most iconic musical moments. Spanning over 300 minutes, the set is housed in a book-style case and sequenced with curatorial precision.

CD1 Scores open with Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Main Title from The Adventures of Robin Hood, followed by Max Steiner’s Now, Voyager Suite and Casablanca’s Paris Montage. The disc moves through dramatic orchestral cues from East of Eden, A Streetcar Named Desire, Dirty Harry, Deliverance, Superman, and Batman, culminating in reflective themes from Driving Miss Daisy and Unforgiven. It’s a masterclass in studio-era scoring, showcasing how music shaped emotional tone across genres.

CD2 Songs from the Movies features vocal performances from Warner Bros musicals and dramas spanning 1927 to 1953. Highlights include Al Jolson’s “My Mammy” (The Jazz Singer), Fanny Brice’s “My Man,” Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell’s “42nd Street,” and Wini Shaw’s “Lullaby of Broadway.” Other standouts include Dooley Wilson’s “As Time Goes By,” Doris Day’s “It’s Magic,” and James Cagney’s rousing “Yankee Doodle Boy.” These selections capture the golden age of Hollywood songcraft, blending theatrical flair with timeless melody.

CD3 offer vocal performances from musicals, dramas, and emerging soul cinema. It opens with Judy Garland’s “The Man That Got Away” and moves through Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, and Gogi Grant. Mid-disc highlights include songs from The Music Man, Camelot, and Finian’s Rainbow. The final stretch features Curtis Mayfield’s “Superfly,” Aretha Franklin’s “Something He Can Feel,” and Barbra Streisand’s “Evergreen.” This disc reflects Warner Bros’ shift from theatrical tradition to socially conscious soul, capturing a studio adapting to changing musical landscapes with emotional depth.

CD4 showcasies pop, soul, and adult contemporary songs from the studio’s modern era. Highlights include David Gates’ “The Goodbye Girl,” Seal’s “A Kiss From a Rose,” Tina Turner’s “We Don’t Need Another Hero,” and Coolio’s “The Winner.” Duets from James Ingram & Patti Austin and Rod Stewart reflect Warner Bros’ embrace of heartfelt ballads and chart-topping collaborations. This disc captures the shift toward commercially driven soundtracks, where music became central to a film’s identity. It closes the anthology with emotional resonance, cultural relevance, and a distinctly modern sonic palette.

This compilation isn’t just a celebration; it’s a sonic storyboard of Warner Bros’ history. With verified selections and thoughtful sequencing, it stands as a definitive archival document. For collectors, cinephiles, and music historians, it’s a rare blend of nostalgia and narrative integrity. (B)

VA - Dead Presidents OST [1996] + VA - Dead Presidents Vol. II OST [1996] (2 x CDs)

SOUL FUNK

VA - Dead Presidents OST [1996] + VA - Dead Presidents Vol. II OST [1996] (2 x CDs)

The Dead Presidents soundtracks, VA - Dead Presidents OST [1996] and VA - Dead Presidents Vol. II OST [1996] are two of the most potent soul-funk compilations ever tied to a film. Released by Capitol Records in conjunction with the Hughes Brothers’ gritty Vietnam-era crime drama, these albums dig deep into the Black musical canon of the late ’60s and early ’70s, offering a raw, politically charged, and emotionally rich listening experience.

Volume I is the more widely known, and for good reason. It’s stacked with stone-cold classics: James Brown’s “The Payback,” Aretha Franklin’s “Do Right Woman – Do Right Man,” and Curtis Mayfield’s “If There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Going to Go.” These aren’t just hits—they’re statements. The soundtrack mirrors the film’s themes of disillusionment, racial injustice, and survival, using music that was born from those very struggles. It’s a rare case where the soundtrack feels like a character in the film, pulsing with tension and soul.

Volume II, released just months later, is the real digger’s delight. Less obvious, more nuanced, and arguably more cohesive. It features rarities like The Dramatics’ “Get Up and Get Down,” The Impressions’ “I’m So Proud,” and The Intruders’ “Cowboys to Girls.” These tracks weren’t just background music, they were the emotional undercurrent of a generation. The sequencing is tight, the mastering warm, and the selections lean into the overlooked corners of Philly soul, Chicago funk, and Southern grit.

Both volumes are essential not just for fans of the film, but for anyone interested in the intersection of music and social commentary. They’re curated with purpose, not just nostalgia. Capitol Records nailed the balance, iving us soundtracks that honor the era, elevate the narrative, and stand alone as powerful compilations in their own right. (B)

VA - Crooklyn Vol. 1 OST [2018] + VA - Crooklyn Vol. 2 OST [2018] (2 x CDs)

SOUL FUNK

VA - Crooklyn Vol. 1 OST [2018] + VA - Crooklyn Vol. 2 OST [2018] (2 x CDs)

The Crooklyn soundtrack volumes, VA - Crooklyn Vol. 1 OST [2018] and VA - Crooklyn Vol. 2 OST [2018] are essential listening for anyone drawn to the soul-drenched textures of 1970s Black America. Originally tied to Spike Lee’s 1994 semi-autobiographical film, these compilations were reissued in 2018 by Universal Music, giving new life to a curated selection of R&B, funk, and soul classics that defined a generation.

Volume 1 is the more familiar of the two, packed with radio staples that once ruled the airwaves. The Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There,” The Chi-Lites’ “Oh Girl,” and Sly & The Family Stone’s “Everyday People” are just a few of the tracks that evoke the warmth of family gatherings, block parties, and late-night slow jams. It’s a lovingly sequenced set that mirrors the emotional highs and lows of the film’s narrative, with tracks chosen not just for popularity but for cultural resonance.

Volume 2 digs deeper. Less about hits, more about mood, it features rarities and deeper album cuts that reflect the grit and grace of Brooklyn life. Curtis Mayfield’s “Pusherman” adds a layer of streetwise tension, while The Spinners’ “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love” and The Delfonics’ “La-La (Means I Love You)” bring lush harmonies and romantic melancholy. The sequencing here is more introspective, leaning into the quieter, more reflective corners of soul and funk.

Both volumes are notable for their analog warmth and historical fidelity. These aren’t just soundtracks; they’re curated cultural documents. The 2018 reissues maintain the original spirit while offering improved mastering and packaging, making them ideal for collectors and newcomers alike. Whether you lived through the era or are discovering it fresh, Crooklyn Vol. 1 and 2 deliver a soulful, street-level portrait of a time when music truly moved the people. (B)

VA - Zachariah (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [1970]

SOUNDTRACK

VA - Zachariah (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [1970]

Released in tandem with the 1971 acid western Zachariah, this soundtrack is a genre-bending artifact that fuses psychedelic rock, country blues, and theatrical scoring into a surreal sonic journey. Pressed by ABC Records and coordinated by Bill Szymczyk (later known for his work with The Eagles), the LP features a mix of original score by Jimmie Haskell and performances by marquee counterculture acts, each chosen to reflect the film’s hallucinatory tone.

The James Gang contributes two blistering tracks “Laguna Salada” and “Country Fever”, anchored by Joe Walsh’s guitar work, while Country Joe and the Fish deliver the anarchic “We’re the Crackers” and the tender “All I Need,” underscoring the film’s oscillation between absurdity and introspection. Doug Kershaw’s “Ballad of Job Cain” adds Cajun flair, and The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble’s “Gravedigger” injects baroque rock drama. White Lightnin’s “Shy Ann” and Elton John’s cameo in the film (though not on the LP) round out the cultural collage.

Jimmie Haskell’s score threads the narrative with cues like “Camino Waltz,” “Matthew,” and the eerie “Zachariah (End Title),” blending orchestral textures with desert psychedelia. The arrangements are playful yet ominous, mirroring the film’s existential themes and satirical edge.

For archivists, Zachariah is more than a soundtrack, it’s a document of early ’70s studio experimentation, where rock bands were cast as gunslingers and sound design blurred into performance art. Rare, collectible, and deeply emblematic of its era, the LP stands as a sonic companion to one of cinema’s strangest genre hybrids. (B)

VA - Easy Rider - Music from and Inspired The Soundtrack (2004, 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) [1969] CD1+ CD2

ROCK

VA - Easy Rider - Music from and Inspired The Soundtrack (2004, 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) [1969] CD1+ CD2

Official soundtrack of the film "Easy Rider" originally released by ABC/Dunhill Records (in North America) and Stateside (in Europe)

When Easy Rider rolled onto screens in 1969, it didn’t just capture a moment, it defined one. And the soundtrack? That was the soul of it all. Fast-forward to 2004, and Universal Music Enterprises, in collaboration with Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment, dropped the 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, a two-disc set that doesn’t just revisit the ride, it revs the engine all over again.

CD1 is the original lineup, remastered and still humming with that open-road electricity. Steppenwolf’s “The Pusher” and “Born to Be Wild” are still the ultimate freedom anthems, while The Byrds’ “Wasn’t Born to Follow” and Roger McGuinn’s Dylan covers bring that poetic, restless spirit. And yes, Smith’s version of “The Weight” is here, still a licensing workaround, but it’s got its own gritty charm.

But the real treasure, Disc two, titled Something in the Air: 1967–1969. This is where the set goes from nostalgia trip to full-blown cultural document. It’s a handpicked mix of deep cuts and era-defining tracks that orbit the Easy Rider universe. You get The Seeds’ “Pushin’ Too Hard”, The Electric Prunes’ “I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)”, and The Blues Magoos’ “(We Ain’t Got) Nothin’ Yet”, garage-psych gold that rarely gets this kind of spotlight.  Then it leans into the heavy hitters: Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit”, The Who’s “I Can See for Miles”, Joe Cocker’s “With a Little Help from My Friends”, and Thunderclap Newman’s “Something in the Air”, a closer so perfect it feels like the credits rolling on a generation.

This is a time capsule, lovingly assembled with the film on DVD, a British Film Institute booklet, and liner notes that actually say something. It’s the sound of rebellion, of wide-eyed wonder, of a country cracking open. For the heads who lived it, and the ones still chasing that horizon, this deluxe edition doesn’t just revisit Easy Rider, it lets you ride shotgun. (B)

Trivia:

⇒ "The Weight", as originally recorded by The Band for their 1968 debut album Music From Big Pink, was used in the film, but couldn't be licensed for the soundtrack. To deal with this, ABC-Dunhill commissioned Smith, to record a cover version of the song for the soundtrack album.

⇒ One of the film's scriptwriters, the star, Peter Fonda, had originally intended to use Bob Dylan's version of "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" in the film, but after failing to secure the appropriate licensing, he asked Roger McGuinn to record a cover of it instead.

⇒ The last track "Ballad Of Easy Rider" was partially co-written by Bob Dylan, but disowned its contribution on that song, due to his strong dislike of the film's ending, as well as due to his belief, that his name was being exploited to boost the film's street credibility. This song was later re-recorded by McGuinn's band The Byrds and included on Ballad Of Easy Rider.

David Bridie - A Box of David Bridie, A Musical Journey Across Soundscapes [1983 - 2021] (27 x CDs)

A BOX OF DAVID BRIDIE

David Bridie - A Box of David Bridie, A Musical Journey Across Soundscapes [1983 - 2021] (27 x CDs)

In the tapestry of Australian music, few artists have woven together genres, cultures, and emotions as seamlessly as David Bridie. A composer, musician, and advocate for Indigenous and Melanesian artists, Bridie’s career is a masterclass in artistic evolution. From the atmospheric soundscapes of Not Drowning, Waving to the evocative storytelling of My Friend the Chocolate Cake and his deeply immersive solo work, Bridie’s music invites listeners on a journey, one that is both thought-provoking and profoundly beautiful. David Bridie’s musical style is a rich fusion of ambient, alternative, world music, and chamber pop influences. His work is characterized by atmospheric soundscapes, evocative storytelling, and a deep connection to cultural and environmental themes.

David bridie work can be followed through these stages of evolution.

Echoes of Innovation: Not Drowning, Waving [1983–1994]

Bridie’s first major step into the music world was with Not Drowning, Waving, a band he co-founded in 1983. While the group started as a duo between Bridie and guitarist John Phillips, it quickly expanded into a full ensemble, crafting music that blurred the boundaries between rock, ambient, and world influences. Their albums, such as Claim [1989] and Circus [1993], created sonic landscapes that could transport listeners to distant lands; deep forests, misty waters, and far-flung island communities.

Not Drowning, Waving became renowned for their collaborations with Melanesian musicians, particularly through their groundbreaking album Tabaran [1990], which highlighted the musical richness of Papua New Guinea. This project was not just an artistic endeavor but a cultural bridge, introducing Australian audiences to the sounds and traditions of their Pacific neighbors.

A Chamber Pop Delight: My Friend the Chocolate Cake [1990–Present]

In parallel with Not Drowning, Waving, Bridie explored a more introspective, intimate musical direction with My Friend the Chocolate Cake. Formed in 1989 with cellist Helen Mountfort, the group traded in the sweeping atmospheres of Bridie’s previous work for richly textured, chamber-pop arrangements. Their music, led by grand pianos, strings, and reflective lyrics, provided comfort and contemplation in equal measure.

Albums such as Brood [1994] and Home Improvements [2007] became staples for fans who sought depth in their music. The band’s ability to balance melancholic themes with a sense of warmth made them uniquely compelling—music that was just as suited for solo reflection as it was for shared appreciation.

Stepping Into the Spotlight: Solo Career & Film Scores (2000–Present)

By the late 1990s, Bridie had expanded his musical vision further by stepping into the role of a solo artist. His debut album, Act of Free Choice [2000], introduced a refined, deeply personal style, combining political themes with ethereal arrangements. Subsequent albums such as Hotel Radio [2003] and Wake [2013] continued this exploration, drawing listeners into Bridie’s poetic storytelling.

Parallel to his solo career, Bridie became a sought-after film composer, scoring over 100 projects. His work on films like Proof [1991] and In a Savage Land [1999] showcased his talent for crafting music that heightened emotions and immersed audiences into cinematic worlds. His ability to tell a story through music made him a favorite among directors looking for soundscapes that linger long after the credits roll.

Beyond creating music, Bridie has championed Indigenous Australian and Melanesian artists, ensuring their voices reach wider audiences. His Wantok Musik Foundation, a not-for-profit label, has been pivotal in supporting culturally significant artists such as George Telek and Frank Yamma. Bridie’s dedication to musical storytelling extends beyond his own work; he strives to amplify others whose stories deserve to be heard.

David Bridie’s career is not just a collection of albums or performances, it is a journey, an exploration of sound, identity, and the human experience. He has remained committed to artistic integrity while embracing collaboration, cultural exchange, and innovation. His music doesn’t demand attention; it invites listeners in, like a conversation with an old friend, layered, reflective, and deeply rewarding. A Lasting Legacy
