It's this little crazy thing called a marketable soundtrack. We've been
approached by people in the past wanting stuff, but it ultimatly falls by
the way side as crappy MTV style alternative living music prevails so
that when shit movie eventually loses tons of cash there are CD sales
that can be had.
Apparently none of these people learned from the genius that happens when
one person is allowed to score a movie...best example in my book as the
ultimate music complimenting film and vice versa would have to be all the
Sergio Leone / Ennio Morricone projects. Let's face it, close ups of
Eastwood / Van Cleef eyes and sweating foreheads for 5 minutes is only
made exciting by how awesome Morricones score was. Come to think of it, I
bet those soundtracks sold extremely well. There is a lesson here someone
in Hollywood is ignoring.
