What Are You Listening to Now 7.0

Ladyhawke Official Movie Soundtrack

Andrew Powell with the Philharmonia Orchestra and The Alan Parsons Project

It's all HP's fault.

It's a damned good bit of music, IMO.
But tonight its Beethoven No 5

It's complete 2with the dots. . .
 
Solitude Aeturnus - Into the Depths of Sorrow, followed by
Wheel - Preserved in Time

Doom Metal marathon. Two hours never went past faster.
 
From what I've read, LS is Duda's experimental outlet. Less adherence to prog conventions, more "spur of the moment/anything goes"

Yes, very experimental, sometimes electronica, sometimes like the new album more acoustic - I've enjoyed all the albums, five I think
 
Classical time again...

Schubert - Impromptu D.899 No.4 (A-flat Major)

Beethoven's Choral Fantasy for piano, chorus and orchestra. op.80

Beethoven : Symphony No. 6 (Pastorale)
 
Such a fun, cheesy movie but wonderful soundtrack. I wish Powell did more

I like the Ladyhawke soundtrack as music, but for me it never quite fits right in the film. It makes me think "hello 1980s!" in a way that doesn't mesh with a medieval fantasy story.

See, I find the music adds to the ultimate cheesy feel of the movie - which I love.

Supposedly while Director Richard Donner was searching for an affordable location to film the movie he was constantly listening to the Alan Parsons Project and his vision of the movie fused with music, and he insisted he needed a Parsons soundtrack.
 
Hmm. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong. Next time I watch it I'll try leaning in to the cheese and see if that works!

I feel Michelle Pfeiffer gave a great performance. The scene where she silently drops the falcon straps into the bishop's hand was such an incredible "fuck you" moment.

Broderick and Hauer seemed to be along for a good time the whole movie which worked for me. That lack of seriousness went well with the music.

Not a large part, but fond memories of Leo McKern in that too. Better known to some of us as Rumpole of the Bailey.
