Top 10 Soundtracks
Thursday, 08 July, 2004
This is for Joyce and Duncan who were interested to know. Again, in no particular order:
- The Power of One (Hans Zimmer)
- I am Sam (Various—it's full of Beatles covers and my favourite one is “Julia”)
- Oscar and Lucinda (Thomas Newman)
- Ocean's Eleven (David Holmes)
- La Double Vie de Véronique (Zbigniew Preisner)
- Sneakers (James Horner)
- The Truman Show (Burkhard Dallwitz and Philip Glass)
- The Piano (Michael Nyman)
- A Little Princess (Patrick Doyle)
- A Room with a View (Richard Robbins)
Lately, I've really been enjoying the soundtrack to Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex by Yoko Kanno (on loan from Little Rachel. Yoko is pretty talented; she also did the soundtrack to Cowboy Bebop. I wish I could write music like that.

I like number three too!
I watched The Piano the other night and I didn’t like it much. I felt sorry for Sam Neill’s character, even though I wasn’t supposed to.
I think you’re supposed to feel sorry for him. I wasn’t a big fan of the movie either but the music is wonderful and very simple (which means I can play it! Well most of it, anyway). I read a very interesting essay on Bluebeard and The Piano—totally unintentional in the minds of Jane Campion & co. but still significant nonetheless.
I’m glad you like number three!
