 (2 Customer Reviews)
Channeling the strangely simpatico combination of Buddy Holly and the Jesus & Mary Chain, the Raveonettes have become masters of their own feedback-soaked pop in the space of one EP and this album, CHAIN GANG OF LOVE. Comprised of core members Sune Rose Wagner (vocals, guitar) and Sharin Foo (vocals, bass), this Danish group revels in quick, catchy ditties that will have you dancing around your living room in three minutes or less.
While their EP focused on dark, minor-key tracks such as "Attack of the Ghost Riders" and "Bowels of the Beast," their first full-length outing revels in melodic rock & roll and the up and downs of love, with songs such as "That Great Love Sound," "Let's Rave On," and "Love Can Destroy Everything." And in working with Blondie producer Richard Gottehrer, Wagner and Foo's sonic template shows evidence of expansion within their Scandinavian minimalist style, a promising sign of even greater sounds to come.
Recorded at Suna Studio, Copenhagen, Denmark and The Looking Glass Studio, New York, New York.

| | Music of Hans Zimmer performed by City of Prague Philharmonic... CDs (2007) Original Soundtrack
Chain Gang Of Love album
$18.89
Silva Screen Records specializes in re-recordings of film music, and the label usually employs a presumably non-union Eastern European orchestra, the City of Prague Philharmonic, to make those new versions of movie soundtracks. Then, Silva Screen generally lists the credit for the Prague on the back covers of its albums in small print, leaving the impression to the casual shopper that the discs contain actual soundtrack recordings. So, it is striking that a very different approach has been taken with the two-CD set Film Music of Hans Zimmer. Here, the Prague, along with Crouch End Festival Chorus, gets front-cover billing in the same size print as the album title. The ironic aspect to this is that the Prague doesn't actually play on all the tracks. But then, Zimmer didn't compose all of them, either. Both of these curiosities require explanation.
The German-born Zimmer was, as of 2007, along with perhaps Danny Elfman, at the top of Hollywood's A-list of film composers; this album's producer/conductor/annotator James Fitzpatrick notes that 2003's The Last Samurai represented Zimmer's 100th film score, which is remarkable for a man who was born in 1957 and thus would have been only in his mid-forties at the time. A part of Zimmer's success has been his ability to mix traditional orchestral scoring with electronic music written for and performed on synthesizers. Zimmer has that most basic of qualities in a film composer, he is versatile. When it comes to re-creating his work, however, that can make things tricky for Silva Screen, and the label has addressed the problem by commissioning purely orchestral arrangements for music originally written for synthesizers and orchestra (selections from Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Pearl Harbor, The Last Samurai, The Thin Red Line, Hannibal, The Da Vinci Code, ...
