| | Proposition Soundtrack CD (1 Customer Review)
To accompany the film adaptation of his own screenplay for the outback Western THE PROPOSITION, revered Australian singer/songwriter Nick Cave enlisted his occasional Bad Seeds bandmate, Warren Ellis, to create the moody score. Given the movie's dark, gritty tone, these compositions are appropriately haunting and elegiac, with Ellis's plaintive violin lines meshing hypnotically with Cave's spare piano work and occasional vocal contributions. A darkly beautiful album that will appeal to Nick Cave fans as well as fans of Ellis's other group, the Dirty Three, this evocative soundtrack makes for a fascinating example of musical storytelling.
Composers: Nick Cave; Warren Ellis.Uncut (p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "As plausible a soundtrack to life in the 19th-century Australian dustbowl as can be imagined."
The Wire (p.57) - "The music is as bleak and stripped down as the film, swinging between brief textural tone poems and more developed songs....There is a real coherence to these 16 tracks..."

A fine Impressions' collection, these tracks are the essence of their ABC recordings. Included are a few early dazzlers when Arthur and Richard Brooks blew harmony with Curtis Mayfield, Sam Gooden, and Fred Cash: the post-Jerry Butler Impressions. Check the bass on the haunting "Gypsy Woman," and the heartwarming "Grow Closer Together," both products of the five-man Impressions. Mayfield's light expressive falsetto excels on these crafty, well-arranged sagas. "Little Young Lover," has a bottom-heavy beat topped by smooth harmonies. "Minstrel and Queen" matches "Gypsy Woman"'s mystique and was a favorite of schoolyard vocalists. A prolific songwriter, Mayfield didn't write weak songs, and was equally proficient on mid-tempo tunes, ballads, and upbeat songs. The group's early tunes gained them a die-hard following but "It's All Right" showed an knack for crossover; this finger-snapper exploded on R&B stations and received considerable play on pop stations. "Talking About My Baby" kept the momentum flowing, but they dug a permanent spot in listener's hearts with "I'm So Proud," one of R&B's prettiest ballads; as touching as the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You," the Penguins' "Earth Angel," and the Miracles' "Ooh Baby, Baby."
In the mid-'60s, Mayfield revealed his strong social consciousness by putting his feelings on vinyl. In doing so he showed he could make a difference via his uplifting, spirited songs promoting pride and self-respect. African-Americans in the '60s may not have been exposed to powerful, motivating books like Psychocybernatics or Think and Grow Rich, but they had "People Get Ready," "We're a Winner," "We're Rolling On," "Amen," "Meeting Over Yonder," and "Keep On Pushing." The Impressions never forsook ballads and continued to ...
