Comment:

The idea for this came from my realization last year that Stanley Kubrick was just as much a genius of sound and sound editing as he was with the visual elements of his films. Basically these are songs that I personally find 'cinematic' in the sense that I can clearly imagine images or visual sequences to accompany them. There will probably be a more ambient 2nd volume, but this one's part of a trade with Mr. Conroy if he approves. (: I couldn't resist the track from Velvet Goldmine but other than that I didn't plunder any actual soundtracks as far as I know. I'm sure Kubrick would've cut most of what's here (as he did 70% of everything he shot) but some of it, like the astonishingly badly mixed but still haunting Nomads track, or hearing 'Desperado' sung by a 9-year-old girl, seems strangely accurate.
