Jerry Goldsmith – Chinatown (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

[Soundtrack]
Genre: Smooth Jazz
Length ~ 31:16
Release date: 1974 (LP), 1995 (CD Reissue)
Label: ABC/EMI Electrola (LP), Varèse Sarabande (CD Reissue)

“ Some potential purchasers may think that the Chinatown soundtrack is way overpriced, offering a mere 31 minutes of music, but this is an astonishing 31 minutes. Composer Jerry Goldsmith wrote perhaps his most moodily evocative score for Roman Polanski‘s haunting film noir (and did it on ten days’ notice); and trumpet soloist Uan Rasey punctuates the best moments with the mournful, piercing cry of his instrument. Apart from three period songs (Bunny Berigan’s version of “I Can’t Get Started” etc.) interpolated into the action, the rest is just plain top-notch Goldsmith; the surging strings and heavy piano chords of “Jake and Evelyn,” the pizzicato strings on “The Last of Ida,” and the latter’s aggressive use of percussion instruments as well all stand out. The resulting CD is a treat even for those who either don’t know or aren’t that fond of the movie. The sound is excellent and then some – loud, robust, and richly detailed… ”

Rowland S. Howard – Pop Crimes

[Studio Album]
Genre: Alternative Rock
Length ~ 38:19
Release date: 2009
Label: Liberation Music

“ …The artwork is a dead giveaway about what to expect from the music it encases. It features a slightly quizzical looking Howard bathed in blood red light and in ominous shadow.
…Across its 40 minutes, Pop Crimes reaffirms Howard’s place as one of Australia’s great songwriters; unwavering in his preference for the musically darker side of the tracks and the down and out and destitute corners of the soul. ”

Rowland S. Howard – Teenage Snuff Film

[Studio Album]
Genre: Alternative Rock
Length ~ 54:20
Release date: 1999
Label: Reliant, Cooking Vinyl

“ Howard, who was a founding member of the Birthday Party, Nick Cave’s Bad Seeds, and Crime and the City Solution, has one of the most distinctive guitar sounds on the scene, and while all of his mates have taken the high road and mixed their misery with sweetness and light, Howard likes his desolation straight up. Teenage Snuff Film is first offering since 1992, and it’s a gorgeous wreck of an album…
…As for the music on Teenage Snuff Film, it’s a long, roiling howl of pain, wrought from the place where rock & roll loss and grief meet blues textures and near-gothic soundscapes. ”

Various Artists – A Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box

[Box Set]
Genre: Gothic, Post-punk, Industrial, Alternative
Length ~ 5 Hours
Release date: September 19, 2006
Label: Rhino (cat# R2 73374)

“ In his liner notes to this unprecedented boxed set, Goth expert Mick Mercer writes, “Goth blossomed on the gritty soil of punk; forever indebted, essentially different. It has survived all manner of invective and unhealthy assumptions to become a shining example of music made because it needs to be, not because of anything the performers expect to get out of it. This is art which gets inside your heart.”
The artists featured on this 3-CD + 1-DVD collection, the most comprehensive of its kind, indeed created affecting music about what mattered to them, and what started as intense personal expression evolved into a “lifystyle” for the core audience that most embraced its dark ethos. Reveling in introspection and entranced with sex, death, poetry, and the life of the mind, Goth has a power to fascinate that has never waned.
A Life Less Lived’s three audio CDs contain 53 essential Goth tracks, including Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” Sisters Of Mercy’s “Temple Of Love,” Virgin Prunes’ “Pagan Love Song,” AFI’s “The Hanging Garden,” and many more. The DVD features 12 music videos from the likes of The Cure, The Jesus And Mary Chain, The Mission UK, Echo & The Bunnymen, and Siouxsie & The Banshees. Superdeluxe package with laced leather “corset” sleeve and 60-page book with artist commentaries, photos, track-by-track summary, a Goth history, instructional pieces on running a Goth club night & how to dance Gothic and much more. ”

Length ~ 43:47
Recorded: February-April 1980
Release date: 1994
Label: Midnight Beat, Dolor Del Estamago

“ …this is a special CD with some alternative takes of some of the songs that were included on the Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) album. One song is previously unreleased, and that is the instrumental song “Is There Life After Marriage?”
The songs are not mixed properly since that is only done to the final takes. The versions are identical to the final takes, but there are some musical and lyrical differenses. The glass master to this CD was confiscated! In 1996 someone re-issued a perfect copy of this CD, and used the same label and number and even the same cover. The re-issue is easy to recognize on the light brown back ground of the cover, it is white on the original. Excellent sound quality and… ”
