A very strange, very jarring soundtrack album release that starts out with a selection of '60s pop hits and transitions through "The Marines Hymn" to Fairlight performances by Abigail Mead (actually Vivian Kubrick, daughter of director Stanley Kubrick). The original part of the album is dark and sometimes unmusical, but works better than might be expected, even in the context of the film. The album generated a European Top Ten hit with "Full Metal Jacket (I Wanna Be Your Drill Instructor)," performed by Kubrick and Nigel Goulding. ~ Steven McDonald
This soundtrack packs the gear!!! Great mix of songs and instrumental tracks. Kubrick uses is great talent for placing popular songs in counterpoint to what may be happening on screen. The electronic score by "Abigail Mead", a.k.a one of Stanley's daughter's, creates an eerie, detached underscore to some of the films most memorable moments. Highly recommended!!!

Their self-titled album is full of covers of classic tunes by the Cure, Modern English, Depeche Mode, et al. The striking ...
$17.85 With a concept that could have failed on so many levels in lesser hands, Ry Cooder stuns once again in MY NAME IS BUDDY and demonstrates why he is one of America's most adventurous musicians. His chosen material is a loose collection of animal character sketches--the titular Buddy is a cat--based on labor struggles and the lower class in Depression-era America. Think of it as Woody Guthrie meets Beatrix Potter.
While an odd construct on page for a man that jammed with Beefheart, the Stones, and the Buena Vista Social Club, MY NAME IS BUDDY flies with every track. The stellar cast of musicians includes the brothers Seeger, Van Dyke Parks, Jim Keltner, Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains, and Flaco Jimenez, and grounds the ...
