Recommendations for Woody Allen soundtracks?

Since I'm on a roll with creating Music:Non-Prince threads that nobody in their right mind would respond to, I figured what the hell: I might as well toss out this question about a very specialized, antiquated, non-diva-centric realm of music that probably 0.0001% of the Org population might possibly care about. biggrin

It's like this: I'm trying to figure out the best albums of Woody Allen film music to buy. I'm intrigued by one called "Woody Allen Classics", which is a collection of classical music used in his films. But I'm also interested in the old ragtime/jazz/novelty recordings. Is there a collection that does a good job of spanning the older movies with the newer ones? Something that has a good mixed bag? And I'm looking for original recordings here, not re-recordings by Woody and his band.

Thank you in advance, Ace. lol

And for the rest of you, I will be over my robot rock/Millie Jackson/Woody Allen soundtrack phase by the end of spring, I promise. redface

Did somebody call my name?! biggrin



I seem to recall the Hannah soundtrack having some classical sprinkled in amongst the old-timey pop music/jazz.

I don't know if you've seen September, but this album



is used to nice effect in that flick (all jazz obviously, though).

Lemme do some research. Back in a flash!

So, I guess you won't be journeying to Montreal for the Jazz Fest this summer, then?

Everything on Amazon (except for Woody Allen Classics - which has the coolest cover, by the way) has virtually no classical.

nice. that's the kind of recommendation i'm looking for. i'd like to get one or two albums that are kinda overviews or anthologies of music used in his films, though. the jazz and the classical. then maybe that way i can figure out the stuff i like most, then move on to specific artists or composers.

Haven't listened to it in years, but it's a really pretty record. IIRC, it's mentioned by name as the album they're listening to during the blackout?

You just reminded me of one of my favourite interview lines of all-time (from the chick from Adult.). Wish I could pull up the exact quote, but it was something like, 'If I have to hear one more "I'm a sex-robot and listen to my computer" bullshit song, I'm gonna puke.' lol

yeah, the revival of that super-sparse electro-robotic dance music got a little overdone a few years back, i remember. i'm loving the stuff i'm finding from the '70s, though. it's beautiful kitsch.

the 'resuscitation' album was pretty damn robotic, if i remember correctly. what was that one song they did, "pressure suit"? "pleasure suit"? something like that. it might as well have been written by C3PO.

I'm assuming this is an Adult. record? Never heard them, to my knowledge, but I think she was just goofing on everyone doing the same thing?

yeah, i'm talking about an adult. record...though to their credit, they've grown since then. kinda more electro/punk. it's not my style, but hey - at least they're expanding their sound. the chick from adult. seems like someone who gets easily bored. lol

whoa, tA...way to break it down! bow

i'm definitely interested in the 'woody allen classics' disc now, and the last disc you detailed looks like a good one too. it looks like a pretty fair balance of the classical music and jazz music he uses in his films.

i like the music woody chooses for his films, and i figured if i checked out some soundtrack comps, it might take me down a few musical paths i don't usually tread. or at the very least, i can listen to this music and re-live the scene where kirstie alley beats the crap out of woody in "deconstructing harry". giggle
