There is a lesson here someone > in Hollywood is ignoring. second best example: isaac hayes' score for shaft, which did quite well and was quite influential as an album in its own right. third best example: wendy carlos' score for "a clockwork orange", a film which scores bonus points for incorporating pop songs (though not in the hollywood product placement manner) along with its score. jeff is right. the lesson is being ignored, and the more recent ones of "reality bites" and "pulp fiction" (collections of unrelated songs selling big) are being slavishly followed in the assembly of soundtracks now. i think there's a bit of a movement back towards thoughtful interaction with film...john mcentire's recent score for reach the rock, some other stuff i'm forgetting. basically, it's gonna take one of "us" to make it as a filmmaker first! rob (who would give his first born child to get amon tobin to score his film)
