Scinema Event

Tonight I went to see Narc. My feeling leaving the theatre was of gut wrenched emotion. My stomach was in knots. It is really a superb film, made on the cheap and set in the fabulous city of Detroit. All through the movie I was noticing a familiar tone to the score. It sounded very Eno-like, but yet not Brian Eno. I came home and checked the credits and it was the same guy (Cliff Martinez) that wrote the score to Traffic.

One of the previews we saw was for The Recruit, starring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell. They used “Music For Body Lockers” by Chocolate Weasel as a background for the gritty training sequence in the trailer. Chocolate Weasel is another alumnus of the Funkungfusion class. I listened to their album at the same time as Clifford Gilberto but I haven’t heard anything from them since 1998/99. They’re not even listed as an Artist on Ninjatune’s website, so maybe they split up/were dropped. They weren’t particularly prodigious in their output.

I wish it would warm up enough around here so that the frost on the inside of my car could disappear.
