Yes, ok with good music to underpin a crazy gangster film is one thing. But where are the pathetic Trumpet Tunes, the trumpets in the infinite vastness of space out? What's here just leave? hm then we take just the next best thing how about, for example, with Rupert Holmes Pina Colada Song? Class because not arrived in Hollywood still not the idea to incorporate this song in a movie, at least in the past 2 weeks.
Now I've been about 3 weeks in possession of this CD and have previously seen the film. Since I left the cinema, I try to imagine how and what James Gunn has since smoked as a director with his colleagues to present this soundtrack for a space adventure at the end of the broad mainstream. Whatever it was, it must have been pretty darn good, because the result it is also.
Hans Zimmer .... No - actually Tyler Bates, as I found out only recently - need whether this rejection have already pressed almost the lacrimal gland in the second level of this film soundtrack. Yes, he was the real Soundtrack Composer remembers the way someone at one of its arrangements in Guardians of the Galaxy? I'm so sorry for this great musician who has also done his share of the atmospheric numerous action scenes - he was smooth but damn Top40 hits of the 70s and 80s to the cheap seats by a handful. The only thing I did after the movie in my head was a continuous Oooh ooh come on get your lo-ooooove 70s disco Feger Redbone. It also did not stay but then. Regular bouts of Ooogha-Chaka enticed my better half almost to me to prescribe a speech therapy appointment. And from whom breaks out in the middle of the public this IF YOU LIKE PIIINA Colada, who has to be taken in any case hardly any chance of anyone for serious but with this hardship I must now live well.
The real trick is, however, not to dig the songs from the record box and pack in a wild compilation where you have to say: that's when the songs absolutely terrific selected by the Bank, such as Elvin Bishop Fooled Around and Fell in Love or Go All the way from the Raspberries also not a foregone conclusion.
Nevertheless: The best feeling for this compilation you get rather after having seen the film at the moment. Then you have as good as no chance this soundtrack objectively look into the stereo system as a sampler Rather, the synaptic connection in the brain active, which has already successfully image and music linked during the movie at the theater.
James Gunn has managed two superficially absolutely incompatible things to combine great retro music and a superhero actioner space so that both together
a) is not ridiculous and
b) in combination offers one of the best, most appropriate and most fun soundtracks of recent years.
Even Norman Greenbaum Spirit in the sky shines in the thought of the film in a new light.
Bowie Moonage Daydream or Im not in love 10cc one can imagine in this infinite universe immediately the other hand. And I think as a child of the 80's and 90 only to the ever-present film cassette Walkman driven sympathetic anti-hero Peter Quill the medium of my time out of sheer nostalgia feelings and good memories to me is quite heartwarming.
Nevertheless, on this soundtrack everyone no matter whether to allow pre-teen or mid-fifties the chance carried away. The whole disc is a single well-being zone with many romantic, nostalgic, catchy and above all fun facets.
Oh watch movie, if not already done so! Soundtrack specify if not already done! Thank you and you will thank me's :-)
UPDATE still on 09/22/2014: I nevertheless directly times the title and details of the review changed. Because I had it out the wrong composer in memory - Thank moviepilot.de, thank Rezensionist below me, in which the ego could read - we do not talk of Hans Zimmer, but by Tyler Bates - who plays in a similar league as room and also possesses a unique ability to atmospheric backing films. Well - actually only the proof that with me really depend very little from the score remained * duck and away *
This makes the musical cinematographic work, of course, no less bad :)
