In the same line as my last post, here comes la crême de la crême of movie soundtracks according to me, a person highly inspired by indian music discovering new melodies almost every single day (that’s how i define myself). Even today i came across the OST of The Darjeeling Limited. It won’t join today’s selection though; the bollywood songs are taken mostly from the ‘70s and ‘80s, a period I can’t stand. In fact, I find a lot of french people wanting to discover Bollywood turning to movies from that period and songs like Dum Maro Dum. PLEASE, don’t do that! This isn’t the right introduction to Bollywood.
So here come the OSTs. Keep in mind that i’m considering the albums as a whole. Obviously, i’ll start with A.R. Rahman.
My all-time favourite. An evergreen album. | The album that gave Rahman international recognition. | Nominated for Oscars. Loved for its songs and background score. |
(and Alaipayuthey, it’s Tamil version) | Mycheal Danna & Rahman both excelled. | I even ripped off the score from the DVD. |
Other Indian movies include:
I found ‘Devdas with Selected Dialogues’ in France. Awesome. | THE movie that made me cry. | The movie might not have worked but music is excellent. |
Omkara Vishal Bhardwaj | Lakshya Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy |
Away from Bollywood but with still a foot in India, we have scores by Nitin Sawhney, the most famous being The Namesake. I’ve yet to get hold of A Throw of Dice.
Among French movies, i’ve been largely inspired by these three:
Yann Tiersen | Kraked Unit, etc. (Klapisch OSTs in general.) | Mathieu Chedid / -M- |
I finally reach Hollywood. OSTs that stand out are:
Babel Gustavo Santaolalla | Harry Gregson-Williams | Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard |
Let’s not forget this year’s Academy Award winner for best music: ONCE by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová…
…and a special mention to Daniel Licht’s work on Showtime Series Dexter.
Music matters are now closed from the year 2007-2008 on this blog. Keep in touch with my loved tracks on Last.FM or on my friendfeed.
Mauritius, here i come. Some traditional sega will do me some good.
