Highlights from "Kundun" and "Seven Years in Tibet" OST's .
Philip Glass: Mawkish and simplistic, but awesome. John Williams: Melodramatic, but classic. Neither is really too oriental, faux-orientalism can be off-putting. [Edited 3/6/10 11:05am] | |

[Edited 3/6/10 11:05am] I never heard either of these, and whilst I can't get into "Kundun", I do quite like the John Williams piece. I love some John Williams ("hook" being one of his more overlooked OST's) but I can't get into Phillip Glass. Having said that, he did a lovely piece for the Olympics 1984 CD.... Iam lucky enough to own the CD LOL. The vinyl can be bought cheap enough though. Love the track though. The middle part around 1:55 mark reminds me of Ennio Morricone who I love. Love how the track changes up halfway through. As for "faux-orientalism", I don't care much if its not technically right (i dont know anything about music), as long as it moves me LOL. This might be quasi-oriental or whatever, but I still love it though.... Just wish more of it was of Zimmer's score on the OST CD. A few of the pop songs on it are OK though.....
