Kawai James Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Breaking Bad was a fantastic show...it will be greatly missed. My favourite track used in this show was 'On a Clear Day' by The Peddlers from a 'cooking' scene in season 5 [video:youtube] Some very tasty organ playing around the 2:00 mark...

bgregg Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 As perfect a use of a musical cue as I've ever heard. When I watched it, I actually teared up when I heard that first B chord and recognized the tune, before the scene even played out.

Steve Force Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The Sopranos had an excellent soundtrack as well, starting with the Alabama 3 (A3) Detroit mix of "Woke up this morning" as their theme song, and then having a tailored soundtrack per episode.

Kawai James Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The Sopranos has somehow managed to elude me up until now. With Breaking Bad finishing, and Mad Men and Treme not set to return for several months, perhaps it's something I should make an effort to watch?

I-missRichardTee Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Sean Callery is a heavy dude.. writer for "24".

Phnymiboy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yes. Miami Vice. Miami Vice holds a special place in my heart. My old band The Reds from the late 70's -early 80's era had the honor of having actually 3 songs placed in one episode (The one featuring Pam Grier's first appearance). We we're obviously not as well known as others who have had songs on the show but Michael Mann loved our music. So much so that he used us again for songs for the movie "Band of The Hand" and then for scoring and playing the music for "Manhunter". Those were the days. Walking Dead has some great music in it. New season starts Oct 13th. Can't wait. http://bigfun3.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/BigFunThree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluzeyone Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Loved the mood of that tune! So befitting of the slow unraveling chaos that was the genious behind Breaking Bad . Another flick that had an intresting theme tune was a series called The Killing. I only caught the first season cause it doesn't have the horsepower of Breaking Bad but its definetly wrote outside the box.

Jason Stanfield Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Have you ever seen another tv series that had such amazing music in it? There are lots of shows that have amazing song choices in them, however nothing compares in my mind to Bear McCreary's compositions for the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. His music bridges Western and Eastern genres in interesting ways, and there are a few amazing piano pieces scattered throughout. Of particular interest is his blog, in which he chronicles writing music for the show - how he used melodic motifs, chose instrumentation, and so forth. I enjoyed reading how he cleverly skirte the producers' "no symphonies, no themes" guidelines, which were abandoned once they realized McCreary was sneaking themes in everywhere, and they loved what they had heard already. (Seriously, that blog should be required reading in conservatory film scoring courses.) Here's a gorgeous piece featured in the middle of the final season, entitled "Diaspora Oratorio": [video:youtube]6UgXIf9jhF4 And, just for contrast, here's Bear working with his brother Brendan on an Eastern-meets-alt-rock reharm of "All Along the Watchtower": [video:youtube]cUchAD44xA8 Jason Stanfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthoid Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I really enjoyed the haunting music Jay Chattaway wrote for the Star Trek TNG episode "The Inner Light."
