Album Description:
Film Noir, a genre created by French film critics to describe the en vogue Hollywood film of the ‘40s and ‘50s, has become part of film pop-culture. Sixty years later, naked cities, lonely detectives tormented between love and duty, doomed femmes fatales, cigarettes burning in a New York hotel at 3am, a half empty bottle of gin laying next to a bed at dawn, a gunshot in the middle of the night... all of these strong images are eternal icons of a genre that beautifully expressed the anxieties of Western societies after World War II. The album Film Noir captures these snapshots of lives lost in the big sleeping cities by compiling the most powerful musical pieces to create an imaginary film noir screenplay. Throughout these excerpts of legendary soundtracks, some famous, some yet to be discovered, listeners can travel back to a time where ugliness and darkness became visual beauty. With pieces by Matthew Herbert, Howard Shore, Angelo Badalamenti, Bernard Herrmann and many others, Film Noir is the compilation to accompany you through endless sleepless nights. Warner. 2005.

A collection of musical cues from various film noir scores, but imaginatively assembled to constitute a new score for a nonexistent movie. Cleverly done, choosing from excellent sources, and not going for the easy or the obvious. It's exciting to hear someone making a connection between Bernard Herrmann and Angelo Badalamenti.
