Product Description

Un Essentiel amazon.fr

À film culte, bande originale culte. Qui ne connaît pas "Chase", le morceau instrumental de huit minutes vingt-six aujourd'hui devenu un classique ? Mais résumer la B.O. de Midnight Express à ce titre serait réducteur. Giorgio Moroder, grand prêtre du disco, producteur de talent trop longtemps méprisé et mentor de Donna Summer ("Love To Love You Baby", l'hymne sexuel de la diva, c'est lui), a parfaitement su restituer l'atmosphère oppressante du film d'Alan Parker. Tel un sorcier derrière ses machines, il a concocté un menu musical étouffant fait de nappes synthétiques angoissantes et d'effets sonores détonants. Heureusement, David Castle et Chris Bennet, les chanteurs invités sur les deux seuls morceaux vocaux de l'album, nous offrent un léger moment de plénitude, sorte d'îlot dans la cacophonie ambiante. D'aucuns ont jugé le travail de Moroder kitchissisme. Lorsque l'on sait l'influence qu'a eue ce dernier sur une bonne partie de la scène techno house d'aujourd'hui, on ne peut que réfuter cet avis hâtif. Respect donc au grand manitou italien. --Amon

1.0 out of 5 stars Why poor remixes ?!?!?!?!, Oct 23 2003

This cd is remixed and NOT the original music used in the film.
The music in the film is fantastic and imaginative but the cd is remixed with naff percussion making it sound all discoey.

Don't waste your money if you want the original music.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not the original soundtrack, Jun 11 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Midnight Express (Audio CD)

I'm watching the Midnight Express movie right now. The music on this CD is not the exact music in the movie. It's the same melody, but played with different instruments. I want the music from the movie soundtrack, not an immitation. This CD sounds like a phoney synthesizer, but the music in the movie sounds more authentic and real. The theme song sounds like chimes in the movie, but on the CD it's completely different -- sounds like a synthesizer. Where can I buy the version from the movie?? DON'T BUY THIS DISC IF YOU WANT THE ORIGINAL MOVIE MUSIC.

Before K-holes and Ecstasy, there was the Chase from Midnight Express and an Ehtyl Chloride soaked rag.
