Looking back at 2007, several soundtracks stand out.
“Into The Wild,” was much enhanced by Eddie Vedder’s plaintive voice and skillful songwriting. “Juno,” was fun, with the Moldy Peaches, Velvet Underground, Mott the Hoople and The Kinks featured.
But the soundtrack, which for me, best reflected what was being shown on screen was the instrumental score for “There Will Be Blood” by Radiohead’s guitarist Jonny Greenwood.
Defying the conventions of usual Hollywood scores, greenwood’s was dramatic and full of foreboding, operatic and haunting. Kudos to Paul Thomas Anderson for taking a different path and not using the usual sweeping music that we so often hear accompanying epic period dramas.
