I really enjoy with the music in september clues videos. What I like more is the music in the minute 1:19:12 in the video 911Septemberclues.avi (I think it is the first version), when speaking about the airplane angles, 13° against 18° (part 8, “synchronicity”). And then in 1:20:06 when “the ball” appears in NBC channel.
My Review of the September Clue's Soundtrack by The Social Service
Well, I really didn't have any extra cash but I'll see where it comes from later, I promised myself I would get this on christmas. I never buy music unless it's unavailable any other way and/or sounds amazing. This one fell on both.
First time I heard it was a bit weird as I was very familiar with the preview bits I'd already fallen in love with and the slices from the film, it was hard to tell. The second time the sounds started to come alive and was more able to really listen to it. Cool slightly overdriven and fx'd guitars (that remind me a bit of The Police), awesome, amazing and elaborate beats, deeply beautiful melancholic piano ballads, horns, sitars, samples from the documentary, and an intermitent gravely, low pitch, almost background, poetic voice make it a refreshing mix that's hard to avoid sticking to. It's a bit of a mix of rock-reggae, jazz and a bit of whats know as world music, but mostly a hard to label playful, novel and ethereal sound that combines exeptionaly well. Crisp musicianship from every instrument and sound. A well put together band with great songwritting. It's a long soundscape that's definitely themed and congruent, where the variety of sounds form a long and well-knitted score. It's definitely nice to listen to it all and go to the beautiful places it takes you.
I'm really, really picky with my music, I'm a musician myself and I honestly doubt I could go to a record store and find something thats as good as this. I only listen to 1 or 2 bands or artists per year that I can say I like and The Social Service is definitely one of them for 2011, beautiful music... All in all, a true masterpiece soundtrack in and of itself from the legendary documentary that's a must for anyone with a brain!
...That's all Folks! (if someone pointed a gun at me and forced my to think of anything I'd like to see changed I would love it if there was a mix without the samples from the documentary, they get a bit in the way of the music or maybe I just don't want to hear it but it's completly understandable being it a soundtrack of course. That, and it would be nice if the mp3's would be labeled more completly for those who listen to music on ipods, and a bit of background info of the band and album would be lovely)
For this forum's esteemed members, I've made this post with some YT links to my band's tunes. Hope you enjoy! For some info about my band, "The Social Service" : http://www.septemberclues.info/lyrics.htm The band is currently idle - but I hope to get our act together in the not too distant future. I wrote most of the below songs before embarking in my September Clues "odyssey" - something I'll never regret - but I do sorely miss performing these songs on stage, sigh!... However, my recording studio (where all these songs were recorded) is once again up and jamming - and new tunes are slowly taking shape, so stay tuned, folks!
