Braveheart (soundtrack)

Image Source by game-ost
Braveheart is the soundtrack album to the 1995 film Braveheart.

The soundtrack for Braveheart was composed and conducted by James Horner, and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. It is Horner's second of three collaborations with Mel Gibson as director. The soundtrack, comprising 77 minutes of film score, was noticeably successful; album co-producer Simon Rhodes produced a follow-up soundtrack in 1997 titled More Music from Braveheart. International and French versions of the soundtrack have also been released.
Horner's score includes a melody that appeared again in his 1997 music for Titanic.

Irish band Clannad wrote a theme tune for the film, entitled 'Croí Cróga' (meaning 'braveheart'). However, the track was not used in the soundtrack, but was released by Clannad on the album 'Lore'. The "End Credits" (and possibly some other tracks) owe some of their incredible beauty to Pavane pour une infante défunte by Maurice Ravel.

Man of Steel (Deluxe Edition Soundtrack)

Image Source by images.weltrecords.de
Man of Steel is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. It was released on June 11, 2013. The exclusive deluxe edition of the album contains six bonus tracks, entitled "Are You Listening, Clark?", "General Zod", "You Led Us Here", "This Is Madness!", "Earth" and "Arcade".

Hans Zimmer initially denied popular rumours that he would be composing the film's soundtrack. However, in June 2012, it was confirmed that Zimmer would in fact be writing the film's musical score. To completely distinguish Man of Steel from the previous films, the iconic "Superman March" by John Williams is not heard. The musical score from the third trailer, entitled "An Ideal of Hope", was released online for listening purposes on April 19, 2013. This music was a shortened version of the album track "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World?". In late April 2013, the official track listing of the two-disc deluxe edition was revealed.


Popular reception to the score was positive and the album rose to #4 on iTunes during the first week of its release. Critical reception for the score, however, has been mixed. The soundtrack opened at number 9 on the Billboard 200 with 32,000 copies sold.

Platoon and Songs from the Era (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Image Source by www.mobypicture.com
In compiling the soundtrack for Oliver Stone's Academy Award winning 1986 Vietnam War epic Platoon, producer Bud Carr opted to eschew original composition in favor of a collection of songs from the '60s in an attempt to capture the period. Many of the songs he selected were not even used in the film. The only excerpt from Georges Delerue's score that made it onto the album was "Barnes Shoots Elias." The '80s were not a golden age for sales of original score soundtracks. With only a handful of exceptions (e.g., Vangelis' Chariots of Fire and a few of John Williams' blockbuster soundtracks), most of the commercially successful soundtrack albums contained hit singles from pop artists. And as Platoon was one of the few Best Picture winners from the era that failed even to land an Original Score nomination at the Oscars, Carr was probably wise to make that decision. He populated the album with classic rock & roll songs like the Doors' "Hello, I Love You," Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," and Aretha Franklin's "Respect." But the soundtrack's best moments are not from the '60s at all. They are the Delerue-conducted excerpts from Samuel Barber's haunting "Adagio for Strings," which served as the theme for the movie and bookend the album as the first and last tracks.

The Crow (1994 film soundtrack)

Image Source by Wikipedia
The soundtrack to the movie The Crow was released in 1994. Its biggest hit song was "Big Empty" by the Stone Temple Pilots, which was also on their album Purple.

The album featured covers, including Nine Inch Nails who covered Joy Division's "Dead Souls", Pantera who covered Poison Idea's "The Badge", and Rollins Band who covered Suicide's "Ghost Rider", which is about a Marvel Comics character. Rage Against the Machine re-recorded their 1991 b-side "Darkness of Greed" and renamed it "Darkness" for this soundtrack. The Cure also wrote the song "Burn" for the movie. Stone Temple Pilots originally re-recorded a song off their Mighty Joe Young demo, titled "Only Dying", but removed it when Brandon Lee passed away.


The inclusion of songs written by The Cure and Joy Division are notable because the influences of both bands are present in the original comic book. James O'Barr, the creator of The Crow, reprinted the lyrics to the song "The Hanging Garden" by The Cure on an entire page, and some chapters of the comic book are named after Joy Division songs, "Atmosphere" and "Atrocity Exhibition", for example. In one panel, Eric even quotes a lyric from the song "Disorder" from the album Unknown Pleasures. O'Barr was a big fan of both bands when he was creating the comic book.


The other music in the film which is not included in the soundtrack is instead on The Crow: Original Motion Picture Score of original, mostly orchestral music, with some electronic and guitar elements, written for the film by Graeme Revell.

"Daredevil: The Album was released in 2003 by Wind-Up Records for the movie Daredevil, starring Ben Affleck. All songs were previously unreleased, and some songs appeared on later releases. Unlike later Wind-Up soundtrack releases, many songs from Daredevil: The Album notably appeared in the film.

The album was one of the first collaborations between Marvel Comics and Wind-Up Records, which would continue with the releases of Fantastic Four and the Daredevil sequel/spin-off Elektra. Three singles were released from the album:Fuel's "Won't Back Down", The Calling's "For You", and Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life", the first major appearance by Evanescence which would lead to "Bring Me to Life" reaching number one on the Billboard Chart.

Three songs were omitted from release on the album: N.E.R.D.'s "Lapdance", Dara Shindler's "Faraway", and House of Pain's "Top o' the Morning to Ya"".
