House of 1000 Corpses [PA] by Original Soundtrack (CD - 04/01/2003)
"House of 1000 Corpses [PA]" (04/01/2003) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Geffen Records (USA)Original score composed by Rob Zombie and Scott Humphrey. Composers: Rob Zombie; Scott Humphrey. Personnel: Emm Gryner (vocals). Audio Mixers: Frank Gryner; Scott Humphrey. Unknown Contributor Roles: Karen Black; Bill Moseley. One of those rare soundtracks that actually evokes a cinematic feel even if the listener hasn't seen the film in question, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES is far more than simply a collection of tracks thrown together by the studio to make a few extra bucks. The disc naturally includes several songs from the movie's director, megastar shock-rocker Rob Zombie, all of which showcase his unique Alice Cooper-meets-Ministry-via-Dick Dale style to spectacularly sleazy effect. HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES also features several bits of dialogue that work perfectly as set-ups for the music (which runs the gamut from Buck Owens's double entendre-laden "Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass" to a hilarious Zombified version of the classic Commodores party jam "Brick House"), thus giving the record the feel of a bizzaro-world psychedelic '60s concept album. Like the film it accompanies, the HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES soundtrack is a fun, trippy, wild ride that instantly reveals its creator's true love for his medium.

Roadhouse by Original Soundtrack (CD - 05/16/1989)
"Roadhouse" (05/16/1989) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Arista Records (USA)Actor Patrick Swayze isn't thought of as a vocalist, though he sang "She's Like the Wind" with Wendy Fraser on 1987's Dirty Dancing soundtrack and intentionally inflicted his dreadful rendition of "I'm Henry VIII" on Whoopi Goldberg and 1990's Ghost movie (thankfully, failing to make it onto the soundtrack to that film). So the surprise here is that, under the guiding hand of David Kershenbaum, he sounds like a clone of Bryan Adams on songwriter Willie Nile's very '80s "Raising Heaven (In Hell Tonight)." The Road House film and its subsequent companion long-player came a year after John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band released their album of the same name, so maybe it was an intentional Arista marketing attempt to get some of that Eddie and the Cruisers luster by way of Dirty Dancing, or maybe this was just the expected image of the 1980s. It's always nice to hear the Jeff Healey Band, which starts the festivities off with a somewhat interesting cover of the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues." Hardly as menacing as Jim Morrison (or even Blue ?yster Cult), it appropriately slips into title-track status with Jimmy Iovine's bar band production. Bob Seger does a respectable cover of Fats Domino's "Blue Monday," but it too sounds like fade-into-the-background area musicians having some fun on a Friday night. Of the ten songs here, the only thing that really breaks on through is Otis Redding performing his own "These Arms of Mine." Little Feat is fun with "Rad Gumbo" and Jeff Healey finally flexes his muscles on Dylan's "When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky," the third of Healey's four entries. It has that something extra missing from his earlier jaunts and Seger's track. Austin singer Kris McKay is a surprise on Maria McKee's "A Good Heart," getting a chance here prior to her What Love Endures album debut on Arista, which came the year after this. Swayze closes things out with another big '80s David Kershenbaum sound on "Cliff's Edge," a tune he actually co-wrote. Surprisingly, it's not a bad song and features -- believe it or not -- the album's best hook. This didn't do for Jimmy Iovine what the Dirty Dancing soundtrack did for Jimmy Ienner, and with Seger, Healey, Little Feat, and Otis Redding on board, a lot more was expected of it. When Patrick Swayze writes the best hook on an album you're on, it's pretty obvious that Road House was just another gig. ~ Joe Viglione

House Of Flying Daggers [12/7]
"House of Flying Daggers" (12/07/2004) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Sony Music Distribution (USA)Composer: Shigeru Umebayashi. Personnel: Kouichiro Tashiro (guitar); Deng Le, Li Qi, Shu Fang, Wang Qiao, Song Hongfei, Gao Ruiyun, Wang Qi, Duan Yan, Xu Bin, Jiang Ting, Zhou Yu (pipa); Hitoshi Konno (violin); Xue Ke, Jia Peng Fang (erhu); Shota Mochizuki (bamboo flute); Aki Takahashi (ocarina); Bob Zung (saxophone); Bi Xiaodi, Takehiko Yamada (piano); Wang Shuai, Ikuo Kakehashi (percussion); Tadashi Yabe (programming); Dai Ya (dizi); Zhang Xuanlian (yang-chin). Audio Mixers: Minoru Tanaka; Xu Gang. Recording information: Bunkamura Studio; Dingtian Studio, Beijing, China; Studio Shanglira; Victor Studio. Editor: Minoru Tanaka. Photographer: Bai Xiao Yan. Shigeru Umebayashi's score for Zhang Yimou's House of Flying Daggers is a study in simplicity, featuring a few understated but hypnotic themes that are repeated with different arrangements of traditional Chinese and Western instruments. Considering that Umebayashi also wrote the music for Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love, it's understandable that this score's romantic moments are among the standouts. The "Lovers" theme has a pure, yearning melody that works as well in a stripped-down arrangement as it does in the more lavish "Lovers (Flower Garden)" and "Lovers (Mei and Jin)." Soprano Kathleen Battle's version of the song is more overtly Western-sounding but still retains the melody's almost unearthly beauty. The score's bittersweet romance is balanced out by a few percussion-driven tracks that score the film's action sequences, but even pieces like "Battle in the Forest" and "No Way Out" are more melodic than might be expected. Gentle drama and restraint are the watchwords for most of the score, particularly on "Bamboo Forest," "Taking Her Hand," "Ambush in Ten Directions (Shi Mian Mai Fu)," and "The House of Flying Daggers" itself. The score's subtlety helps give House of Flying Daggers its own identity and, in the long run, makes the music more compelling than more bombastic music would be. ~ Heather Phares

A Prairie Home Companion [5/23]
"A Prairie Home Companion [New Line]" (05/23/2006) Rock & Pop Original Soundtrack, New Line RecordsThe soundtrack album to Robert Altman's 2006 movie centered around Garrison Keillor's popular public radio show is packed with all the homey, yet slightly twisted content of Keillor's original production--but augmenting the show's regular characters, we have hot Hollywood talent like Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Lindsay Lohan, and Woody Harrelson performing songs like the sentimental "My Minnesota Home," the cowboy anthem "Whoop-I-Ti-Yi-Yo," and the blues classic "Frankie and Johnny." Streep and Tomlin acquit themselves particularly well, but understandably it's real-life regulars like Tim Russell, Robin and Linda Williams, and Keillor himself who steal the show.

House Of Wax [5/10]
"House of Wax [2005 Original Score]" (05/10/2005) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Varese Sarabande (USA)Composer: John Ottman. This is John Ottman's original score for the 2005 remake of House of Wax. It would have benefited form being a two-fer with the soundtrack music placed immediately before or after the score, because this music essentially lacks drama. It's a series of cues designed to feel creepy, but more than this it simply meanders. ~ Thom Jurek

House of Sand and Fog by Original Soundtrack/James Horner (CD - 12/09/2003)
"House of Sand and Fog" (12/09/2003) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Varese Sarabande (USA)Original score composed and conducted by James Horner. Composer: James Horner. Personnel: JoAnn Turovsky (harp); Eun Mee Ahn, Al Hershberger, Miran Kojian, Anatoly Rosinsky, Tamara L.

Munday, David Riddles (bassoon); Ian Underwood, Randy Kerber (keyboards); Alan Estes, Peter Limonick, Robert Zimmitti (percussion). Audio Mixer: Simon Rhodes. Recording information: Todd-AO Scoring Stage, Studio City, CA. Editor: Simon Rhodes. One of James Horner's most hushed works, House of Sand and Fog is an aptly brooding, implosive musical counterpart to Vadim Perleman's adaptation of Andre Dubus III's heartbreaking, and bestselling, novel. Horner captures the aspirations of the Behranis, a family of Irani immigrants, in the score's opening tracks. Pieces such as "An Older Life" and "Waves of the Caspian Sea" are quietly hopeful, string-driven compositions that feel like they're going to blossom into the kind of lush, sentimental pieces for which Horner is renowned -- but they never do. Likewise, "'This Is No Longer Your House'" and "Kathy's Night" reflect the seeping frustration of Kathy Nicolo, an alcoholic young woman forced to give up her family's house, which the Behranis buy soon after. The musical themes of Nicolo and the Behranis come together, in a subdued manner on "Parallel Lives, Parallel Loves" and more urgently on "The Shooting, a Payment for Our Sins." But even the score's most dramatic moments are understated, providing more of a backdrop for the film's events than a commentary on them. Regret and nostalgia dominate House of Sand and Fog, particularly on "Behrani's Thoughts - Long Ago," "The Dreams of Kings," and "'We Have Traveled So Far, It Is Time to Return to Our Path'." These aren't the easiest emotions to depict in music, but Horner does an admirable job of turning these subtle emotions into a compelling score. ~ Heather Phares
