Vždycky mi vrtalo hlavou, když Serj v interviích tvrdil, že dělal hafo různorodý hudby pro filmy a já slyšel jen asi 2-3 písničky... O tomhle CD: Selected Music Scores už sem před dobou psal na webu, že se objevilo na ebay a nikdo nevěděl jestli je to fake nebo ne... Od tý doby tam byly asi další 2 kopie... Někdo tvrdí, že prej v roce 2007 Serj obeslal nějaký společnosti hafo písničkama co dělal pro filmy a podobně. Tohle CD by měl bejt nějakej výběr... Má to obsahovat tyhle písně:
Beethoven 2 (1:03)
Orchestra Mix (3:48)
Brain Song (3:44)
Dave Short (3:13)
Electro Ray (7:07)
Guitar Bass Delay (1:36)
Khalil (3:21)
S016 (2:51)
Topical (3:29)
Try Ball (3:32)
Tady je recenze:
In general it comes without understandable vocals (see Try Ball) and it is intended to be film music, so ,in case you get this stuff, don't expect something to relax and listen to like a regular album.
Now to describe the songs (with my limited knowledge and vocabulary ):
beethoven 2 = you can guess it, it has something to do with beethoven's cunt, the song actually ends with a string version of the main riff used in the part of the chorus in which Serj sings "the arms of time are breaking off..."
orchestra mix = reminds me of james bond suspense scenes, a lot of strings and brass winds (is that expression right? I dunno), intro reminds a bit of time of Impressionism, all over quite gentle
brain song = also an Impressionism like but very short intro, bass beats and e-guitar, drum programming (like in all the other songs from that release that include drums), very repetetive
dave short = similar to brain song, but with much more ambient effects and added sound samples (like sci-fi laser pulse weapons )
electro rav = ?dark techno dance?
guitar bass delay = dark music (reminds me of diablo 1 music)
khalil = trance, rock mix, similar to "ready steady go" from Paul Oakenfold, but slower and without vocals, just a similar style.
S016 = jazzy rock (one of my favourites) and some other things I don't know an expression for
Topical = very fast rock-techno mix, lot's of drum programming
Try Ball = extremely distorted vocals, dark horror/terror music with hilarious elements (the funny vocals especially at the end of the song)
All over the musical variety is quite amazing on this release. At first I couldn't believe that Serj can write so much varying music, all genres are included (with the exception of rap, rnb).
Když to někde najdete dejte mi vědět...
