Some highlights from the Black Dynamite (Original Motion Picture Score)

WPR07LP

Before I begin….

GO SEE MOTHERFUCKING BLACK DYNAMITE. DRIVE. RUN. ROLLERSKATE. SCUBADIVE. TELEPORT. STEAL WINGS FROM SOMEBODY THAT JUST DRANK A RED BULL. RIDE A SLED PULLED BY MIDGETS. WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU GOTTA DO TO SEE THIS MOVIE, JUST DO IT. YOU’LL THANK ME AFTERWARDS.

Moving right along…. one of the many reasons this movie succeeds as a satire is painstaking, almost fetishistic attention to detail in all aspects of the productions. Music was always an integral part of blaxploitation cinema, so the creators made sure to make it a priority here as well.

Que Adrian Younge, who cooked up an incredible original score that works on several levels. Sure, it’s a great hilarious parody on the narrative soundtracks popular in the 70s (this is the kind of soundtrack where the songs actually narrate the action on screen). But beyond that Younge managed to create music that actually sounds like it could have come from one of the movies being sent up. It’s obvious that this was made with great love and reverence for the source material. Here in full force are the infectious melodies, chunky wah wah guitars, sleazy horns, pulsing heavy drums – all the staples that made these soundtracks almost more notable than the movies they framed. These aren’t just novelty tracks that get tiresome as the joke wears off. This is just good ass music period. Some of it just happens to have hilarious lyrics.

Keeping with the ‘dancing about architecture’ theory I’m gonna shut my jive ass mouth and give you some examples. I tried to pick songs that give away the least amount of plot in the narration but still showcase the best that this score has to offer.

Shine

Chicago Wind

Jimmy’s Dead (instrumental)

I posted another song from this score about a month ago when it was leaked as a preview. It’s called Shot Me In The Heart, you can check it out here

Waxpoetics (which released this album) made a nice little short behind the scenes/making off feature, which gets a little deeper into the process and the influences that went into the music.

Big, massive, hugemongous, elephant dick sized props to Verge.

  15. I find The Dark Knight Blu Ray is great for testing on HD tv’s / projectors. You’ll get a great sense of color and black level performance. There’s also a lot of sequences that are quite useful for gauging image smoothness when the aspect ratio changes for the Imax scenes and suddenly you’re using the full 16:9. Oh, and the the semi flipping scene is quite epic, and an absolute blast on as large a screen as possible. The Watchmen, and the new Star Trek are also good choices, and for animated movies anything Pixar will suffice.

  16. That Tfo was incredible?
