Music reviews of A Perfect Place - Special Edition Film and Soundtrack
Music Review: good stuff
Rating: 5 Stars
as soundtracks go, this feels a little more right on the line of traditional and listenable, typical Patton work. i have a few soundtracks that get very few listens, not because they're not good, but listening to a score driving to work for 15 minutes isn't typical. scores are maybe for road trips or longer drives, background music (it's intention) behind conversation. point being, this would probably get more play because it is "short-trip" listenable. the songs are generally short and to the point, not drug out instrumentals (again not that that's a bad thing, for a 2 hour movie you need 'em). you can tell a verse/chorus/verse composer did it, not a "Conductor" or something, you know? nothing against either type of composer, both are very relevant. it does not sound "novice" or "beginner" or anything, but a fan of Mike Patton's would probably like it more than a Hans Zimmer fan.
fans of FANTOMAS' the directors cut would probably enjoy this. fans of MR. BUNGLE's california (not that it's anything like it, but something reminds me of it comparitively. MR. BUNGLE's drummer and their touring percussionist do guest on a couple tracks) or THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE soundtrack as well (french animated film). it's nice to hear Mike Patton exploring new avenues and pulling it off. there are two vocal tracks (one of which may be sung in Italian), i believe, two interesting "what it sounds like radio channel surfing" tracks, different interpretations of the main movie riff, and also other moody instrumentals to round it all out. i'd like to explore similar types of music, i've always liked it but don't know where to begin. what "genre" is it? "ragtime" or something? the FANTOMAS delerium cordia in-between-sets music was similar, cartoony, percussive, JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY era music. what is that style?!?!?!
never purchased anything like this, where there's a short film AND it's soundtrack packaged together, hope to do it again.
as for the film, even after reading how short it was, i was still shocked how short it really was. i think that that's a compliment because you end up wanting more. if it was a bad short film, you might say it was too long, i guess. it is definitely enjoyable and worth the bargain price. the trailer is a special feature, which is cool, because that may be the coolest track off of the soundtrack. oddly the song that's played over the end credits is not Mike Patton's and is not on the soundtrack. the film is shot nicely and the acting is good. some darker humor, a little suspense or curiosity. i mean, you are wanting to see how it ends, which says a lot for any good film. you may find, however, that watching the film first would be a better experience because i had listened to the soundtrack 2 or 3 times first and i regret it. the music was almost distracting while watching the film, because that's all you're looking for. i would suggest maybe watching the film, give the soundtrack a listen and then watching the film again. that way you can try to focus on just the actual film. i feel some guilt for buying this for the soundtrack first and the movie second, because it seems unfair to the writer/director who, without him - this project wouldn't exist. Mike Patton is just a hired hand, after all.
maybe the only "complaints" would be more special features, maybe some info on the director, but i'm not complaining by any means.
for the $$$ you'll receive a short film you may watch a couple times and a soundtrack that's probably listenable monthly. that's all i really wanted, although both the film and soundtrack exceeded my expectations.
