"カナダの映画作家Kyle Armstrongによる映画、"Hands That Bind"のサウンドトラック。日本未公開なので内容が確認できずですが、ここはピッチフォークのレビュー（7.5点）を引用してみます。

"ジム・オルークのサウンドトラックは、乾燥した野原と吹きさらしの空に挟まれたこの容赦ない空間に完璧にマッチしている。調律されたピアノ、水のようなビブラフォン、ハルモニウムかシンセサイザーと思われるミュートされた不定形のきらめきなど、彼のパレットは、ベージュ、ピューター、モービルホームの茶色といった映画の埃っぽい色調にマッチしている。サウンドトラックは、メジャーでもマイナーでもない、曖昧でアンビバレントな未解決のインターゾーンを漂いながら、始まりと同じように終わる。"B ...Read more (Shhhhh)y Philip Sherburne

しかし今作は独特の"暗さ"があり、それは映画の内容とか以外でなんだろうと考察したのですが、アメリカーナを追求していたジム師から出る音なので、フォルクローレ / アメリカーナ独特の”暗さ”なのかなと勝手に推測。好きな人には堪らない世界かと。
ジェフ・パーカーの新作素晴らしかったinternational anthemといいシカゴサウンドの脈々としたインテリジェンスと真摯さを感じます。少し大人のアイテムですがこの辺のリテラシーある方には間違いない一枚です。やっぱラスボスの一人ですね。サブスクもbandcampも音を公開してないのでレコードのみです。もちろんDRAG CITYから。 (Shhhhh)

The highlight of this release—and making its vinyl debut on Side A—is, believe it or not! It features the German monaural mix version (sample 1) of “Black Power”—the very first recording by Donna Gaines, then 20 years old, who would later take the world by storm as Donna Summer—which was also used in a key scene of the TV miniseries “11 Uhr 20.” Th ...Read more (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)e B-side is incredible too! It includes “Vergiss mich, wenn du kannst” (sample 2), a Euro-cinema cult classic from the 1968 German crime-suspense trilogy *Babeck*, featuring Senta Berger singing the timeless standard “My Way” in German. A killer double-sided single on both sides. Limited edition. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)

The sound design of lesbian films, Nicole Kidman’s filmography, the history of sound in Iranian cinema, Florence Scott-Anderton, a Berlin-based film journalist known for her wide-ranging explorations—from Toru Takemitsu to Satoshi Kon—appears in the “Fleetway Tapes” series, which has produced works by Time Is Away, Vladimir Ivkovic, and DJ Nobu.

Featured titles include *The Magdalene Prayer*, *Timecode*, *Dracula* (the Coppola version), *Blackout*, and *Cheers!*. It’s like dozing off during a high-quality movie experience… Don’t miss this!

This album is a valuable record that offers a glimpse into South American psychedelia and the atmosphere of little-known Venezuelan films that are difficult to find online. This 1976 soundtrack is the work of Pablo Schneider, a multi-talented artist who was most active in the 1970s. He made his mark in the film and television music industry, produc ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Adachi)ed albums for Phirpo Y Sus Caribes—a group acclaimed for their rare groove masterpieces—and even left his mark on the horse racing world as a racehorse trainer. It features a rich variety of styles, ranging from psychedelic jazz-funk and library music to cosmic synth tracks, DJ-friendly drum breaks, and sweet instrumental pieces. This rare item, whose original copies had become very expensive, has finally been reissued. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)

It won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Starring Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Charlotte Rampling, and Tom Waits, this latest film by Jim Jarmusch is scheduled for release in Japan in 2026. The soundtrack by Jarmusch and Anika—whose creative partnership reportedly began with a chance encounter at a Sacred Bones 15th-anniversary event—is ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Adachi)now in stock. With the exception of covers of Jackson Browne’s “These Days” and Dusty Springfield’s “Spooky,” much of the score consists of ethereal, improvised pieces created using a Wurlitzer, electric guitar, and effects pedals—focusing not on explaining the characters or the story, but on the invisible forces that hover around them. “These Days” includes the “Berlin Version,” recorded with a string quartet, and two tracks that Jarmusch has minimally reconstructed from that version. You can sense the exquisite balance between sound and image that Jarmusch has cultivated over the years, and it’s a treat to try to visualize the film based on the music alone until its release.

Inspired by film music masters such as Piero Piccioni and Michel Elgrand, as well as a wide range of film scores, this duo—based in Rouen, northern France—fuses their diverse musical tastes, ranging from spiritual jazz, folk, classical chamber music, and electronic sounds—to create a fictional soundtrack-like musical world.

An album released in 2022 featuring compositions created as soundtracks for two films by Czech contemporary filmmaker Václav Kadurnka: Saving One Who Was Dead and Little Crusader. The music is simple and reverent, featuring a minimal ensemble of instruments—including the viola da gamba, a bowed string instrument from the Baroque era; the organ; cha ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Adachi)nt; the piano; and the harmonium—all carefully chosen to complement the stories. Rich emotions are conveyed through subtle changes in timbre and texture, and the music is imbued with a crystalline beauty shaped by the unique spiritual sensibility of the duo.

The beautiful melody of the music heard on the soundtrack of the animated masterpiece "Fantastic Planet," which continues to influence hip-hop artists such as J Dilla and Madlib, as well as many other artists across genres, is strikingly beautiful, The music clearly recalls the abstract, dopey elegance of the soundtrack, with baroque clavinet, flut ...Read more (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)e, psychedelic wah-wah guitar, and slow tempo drums, recorded the same year, 1973. The B-side features two tracks from 1975's "Au Dela De La Peur," which is also strongly reminiscent of Fantastic Planet, as well as the "Maison de la Peur," which was discovered in the vaults of the French National Radio. The album also contains three orchestral light music pieces of nostalgia for imaginary love and timeless beauty and elegance, all remastered from the original master tapes, from a previously unreleased tape discovered at the Maison de la Studio 105.

"Incidental Scenes" by New York-based artist Kaazi is a collection of tracks originally composed for films, documentaries, and short videos. Echoing his work with Asa Tone—a project he formed with Melati ESP and Tristan Arp—this album weaves together field recordings, vocals, metallophones, synthesis, and string instruments to create a soundscape c ...Read moreharacterized by ambiguous rhythms and a humid, atmospheric quality. The album includes music for visual works such as After The Flags, which follows the Javanese contemporary artist Arahmaiani, and Beyond Dualism, which features the legendary New York graffiti artist Futura 2000. The sounds, crafted to accompany scenes and characters, serve as a soundtrack yet exude an independent presence, like the mist drifting over a tropical city before dawn. Furthermore, the period of production coincided with the passing of close friends, including Ariel Kalma, who had been a key collaborator in recent years, and a sense of remembrance and reorientation quietly permeates this work.

LAを舞台とした、イタリア映画としては初とされる全編アメリカ撮影の1962年作品。流通崩壊の憂き目にも合い、作家主義の枠組みからはこぼれ日本ではほぼ未評価の監督フランコ・ロッシの『SMOG』のサントラ。しかし音楽では再評価の進んだ巨匠ピエロ・ウミリアーニに、トランペットのチェット・ベイカーとボーカルのヘレン・メリルという個性が交差する要注目の内容。洒脱なイタリアン・ジャズの感触をベースにした、軽やかさと虚ろさが同時に存在するトーンの映画音楽的アレンジ。60年代の空気を封じ込めたタイムカプセル価値も十分の一級品。オリジナルは¥200000クラス。 (足立)

Okada himself plays piano, acoustic guitar, and many other instruments, while saxophonist Qi Matsumaru and double bassist Hiroki Chiba, who also participate in Okada's live performances with their band, layer on top of each other in a breathable tone that permeates like the air, blending into the world of the film.

In a sense they defined European "world music," from unearthing Juana Molina and Konono No.1 in the 2000s to stunning releases right up through last year's Aksak Maboul. "Made To Measure," begun in 1984 by CRAMMED DISCS — the veteran Belgian label that has always introduced music with a razor-sharp sensibility — apparently started out with the conc ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)ept of imaginary theater and film music. On this Vol.1, Aksak Maboul, led by label owner Marc Hollander, plays a sort of supervisory role; "Odessa" (sample2) is probably the most DJ-friendly cut, while San Francisco's Tuxedomoon contribute "Verdun" (sample1), from the soundtrack to a Dutch film about the famous WWI battlefield. The track by Israeli post-punk band Minimal Compact was created for a dance performance by choreographer Pierre Droulers, and Belgian electronic musician Benjamin Lew, who also has releases on Sub Rosa, offers a piece used as music for a fashion show. Concepts along the lines of the so-called imaginary soundtrack pop up here and there, but this may well be one of the first to present it in such a thoroughly conceptual way. The series went on to involve Jim Jarmusch, John Lurie, Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto. A record that radiates the label's singular taste and intelligence. (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)
