Some time ago, on a day far too ordinary and boring for me to remember it, I asked myself a question: Would I rather be blind or deaf? Though choice really, and the obvious answer would have been 'deaf' since I love to read and watch movies and play videogames and ride horses. But I still came to the conclusion that at this moment, with my current knowledge and feelings, I'd rather be blind. I don't know anything about music, can't write it, can't read it, but to live without it... It would feel like what I'm currently listening to (Marco Beltrami's Hellboy OST - Liz Sherman). Because there are no games for me without music, no movies without music. Even riding gets a new dimension when music is added. Sure, books don't have music, but if they did they'd be even better than they are now.
If you didn't guess from that babble or from the title of the blog, this is about soundtracks, and more importantly score-soundtracks. So none of that "songs inspired by Spider-Man" crap, but the real deal, the music that takes the pictures shown and gives it life. Kill Bill and the like are of course a different story. Mostly this will be about movies, but some games are here too. I'll only cover scores I have heard properly, so within the game or movie, because I think a score needs to be judged twice: on it's own, and what it gives to the movie/game it's trying to bring to life. Because to me a score can't be good if it doesn't fit it's purpose.
Well I think this is enough for now, only time will tell how this will turn out.
