really, what is that about? why do the film people release an awesome cd with lots of cool tunes on it that all don't show up in the movie? they've been doing that for years now, and i still don't get it.
hmm, seems like this is the "ike don't know shit"-thread, but... i go fuck off.

This IS a huge burn. Without knowing the track probably is tacked on during the final credits.Quite insulting actually.Last year I posted a thread suggesting Devy's music be presented in Lazarium.(music synchronized to lazer light show in planetarium environment) I would still love to see that. When I contacted our local planetarium about it they were evasive on their criteria for choosing programs. Still one can dream...

I'm gonna try the Radiohead one with Dark Crystal, hope it's cool..

You just watch the movie while you listen to the album. In most cases, there is a specific point in the movie at which you are supposed to start the album. Then you just let both play all the way through.

Honestly, every movie I watch could sync to what I'm listening to if I look hard enough. I think it's just the human mind's inability to separate from two senses. Kinda like how if you eat an apple while smelling an orange, you taste both.

Some moments always sync better than others, but I attribute that solely to coincidence.

I remember watching some movie, but I had iTunes on (uberschuffle, what i refer to my 7000+ songs on random) and when an explosion happened in the movie, Fear Factory's 540,000 degrees Fahrenheit was playing and Burton screamed "BUUUUURN!"

It had to be coincidence, though it was pretty cool.

Yeah, I know of course. That kind of stuff happens to me too. On Dark side of the Rainbow (Floyd and Oz sync), that kind of stuff happens a lot. When the witch appears, the word "black" pops up. And when the dwarf people point to wendow, the word "you" pops up. And the dancing syncs a little. But it's not like I believe it was done purposely.

Pink Floyd
Radiohead
Strapping Young Lad
Devin Townsend Band

^Thats some awesome shit right there....You people rule!

Actually speaking of Floyd and doing crazy things with their music, The Wall is one continuous loop. The album starts on the end of the sentence at the conclusion of the album, thus manifesting itself in:


Side One
Track 01 - In The Flesh?
'..we came in?'

Side Four
Track 07 - Outside The Wall
'Isn't this where..'

But everyone knows that already. I'm just saying..
I love Pink Floyd.

Opeth did something similar with what I consider to be their greatest album to date - My Arms, Your Hearse. The last word(s) of each song is/are the title of the following song, and the last word of the album is the title of the first song, so it's a giant loop. Mikael wanted to do a one-song album, but Edge of Sanity had beaten him to it with the Crimson album, so he decided to break the massively long song up into sections that flow into one another and then cycle back to the beginning at the end. Doing it this way also follows the story since it cycles through all four seasons.

Some interesting notes: My Arms, Your Hearse is the only album in which Mikael wrote the lyrics in their entirety first, then wrote the music around the lyrics. And if you've never written music before, let me just say that it is by far more difficult to write the music around the lyrics instead of vice versa. Mikael also had a raging head cold during the recording of the vocals, and had to hork up some nasty shit in between takes. It's really quite amazing that his vocals STILL came out so fantastically, despite the illness. They also had just lost their bassist, and were in the process of finding a replacement, so Mikael just played the bass himself on this album. Did a pretty damn good job, too.

Hey, just this morning at work I listened through Crimson I and II in a row.

I want a III...

I saw The Cave specifically to hear 'Love' being played through a cinema sound system to plebs who would have no idea what they were listening to.
I had to sit through such a crappy movie, even through the credits, and got nothing!!
It only was heard in the preview! (in Australia at least)

As far as synching - we watched Transformers the movie (the old 80's animated one) while listening to OK Computer by Radiohead - it was magnificent - i just with we paid more attention to the exact starting point.

I love Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd is the reason I started loving music. Devin is the reason music = life. All else pales in comparison.

what does that mean, an album syncs with a film? does the music on the record change when the scenery in the film does or so? i can hardly imagine any band would do that on purpose, it seems like a lot of work to me...

Actually some ppl do it on purpose... For example, Stanley Kubrick wanted Pink Floyd to wrote and perform the soundtrack for "2001: A Space Odyssey" which they refused to later say they regret it... So now there's a scene of this movie who synchs with "Echoes"... Personnally I don't see how it fits, but I must say I'm visually impaired so maybe it's just me... But, for sure there"s "Spastic Ink" who does it on purpose with Bambi and other animated stuff... You can even see "making of" videos... Check this out on YouTube!!
