So, who exactly buys this crap? Seriopusly, i don't get it. Thank you for your cooperation bruce The only reason I can think of is, perhaps they are fans of the artist doing it. Didn't David Bowie release an album "inspired" by "The Man Who Fell To Earth"? Not sure about that, but I thought he did. And didn't Madonna release one supposedly inspired by her character ("Breathless") in "Dick Tracy"? If you're Bowie or Madonna fans, maybe I can see spending your money on those albums, but other than that.... David Bowie was going to do the score to 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' and he wrote music for it. From Wiki: The genesis of David Bowie's Low ( Album) lies in both the foundations laid by Bowie's previous album Station to Station, and music he intended for the soundtrack to The Man Who Fell to Earth. When Bowie presented his material for the film to Nicolas Roeg, the director decided that it would not be suitable. Roeg preferred a more folksy sound, although John Phillips (the chosen composer for the soundtrack) described Bowie's contributions as "haunting and beautiful".[3] Elements from these pieces were incorporated into Low instead. The album's cover, like Station to Station, is a still from the movie: the photographic image, under the album's title, formed a deliberate pun on the phrase "low profile".

I'm still waiting for a Music Inspired By John Cage's 4'33. 80 minutes of not a Goddamn thing.

The Madonna album that accompanied Dick Tracy contained the Stephen Sondheim songs written for the film. I don't think it fits into this discussion.

According to Ford Thaxton, Ken Wannberg wrote the dramatic score for "The Silent Partner". Doesn't matter, I'd still love a score release for the film and Pablo can keep the re-recording by Peterson. I know that's not the purpose of your post, Last Child, I'll take any opportunity to beg a score release for "The Silent Partner" that comes my way! According to stuff I found online: Peterson won a Genie Award (Canadian Oscar award) for his score. And some book called Oscar Peterson: A Musical Biography, has him for the score. His bio' at his website mentions doing the score, too. Looks like research time.

According to stuff I found online: Peterson won a Genie Award (Canadian Oscar award) for his score. And some book called Oscar Peterson: A Musical Biography, has him for the score. His bio' at his website mentions doing the score, too. Looks like research time. I did say he got film credit for the score. And perhaps he did write the actual, implemented film score. All I know is his LP soundtrack was not used in the film. Watch the movie and play the LP, and you'll experience it first hand. I only mentioned it because it fits with the premise of this thread - why would someone buy a soundtrack that doesnt contain the film music. In this case, because the customer was misled, or an Oscar Peterson fan. If Oscar really did score the film, why wasnt the LP the same or similar? I dont recall where I heard this theory but perhaps he needed the money or something, so they gave him screen credit. However, he couldnt release the actual music since he didnt compose it, so he wrote his own stuff for the LP. Here's the old thread about this score where Ford mentions Ken Wannberg: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=34069&forumID=1&archive=1

If you're Bowie or Madonna fans, maybe I can see spending your money on those albums, but other than that.... To be fair, the Madonna "Breathless" album featured the songs in the film of "Dick Tracy" that did not appear on Elfman's score album. These songs were by Stephen Sondheim, including his Oscar-winning one. It's an interesting album, and since it's all "songs" instead of orchestral, it's in a certain mode that is consistent with Breathless Mahoney and the era of the movie.
