stewdog1 50 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I just ordered an import of hers called Seriously Chilled. I have heard pieces from this and am very intrigued by what she has to offer. I am aware that she got an academy award for The Full Monty and did American History X, The Crying Game, etc.I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with her music and if you like it or not. I want to look into her The Art of Noise stuff as I heard that is quite good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I have the Full Monty OST and, although there is very little of her actual music on there, what there is is quite impressve......rhythmic and tuneful - she writes the kind of tune that sticks in your head for ages.....

mahler3 478 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 American History X is really good, but believe it or not one of her best compositions is for the flawed Buster starring dear old Phil Collins - the train robbery cue is terrific!The only Art of Noise work I know of is Tom Jones' Kiss.- Tim, still shocked at her Oscar win for The Full Monty - but then again so was she!

Trumpeteer 302 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I am shocked that she didn't get a nomination for "The Crying Game." It's a great score. I thought that at least it would get a nomination based on the popularity of the film.Dil's theme is romantic and mysterious. Just like the character.Jeff -- who thinks the score for "The Full Monty" was the best in its Oscar category that year, though not the favorite based on popularity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I strongly recommend "Ancient and Modern". It's a Christmas-themed collection of Rennaissance pieces (Coventry Carol and Veni Veni etc). Gorgeous music. As for Art of Noise, their best albums are 'In Visible Silence', and the classic first album 'Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise'. Expect a lot of mid-80s Trevor Horn industrial sounds on the latter.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 The only thing I know Anne Dudley for, other than The Full Monty, are her arrangements for the spanish pop group Mecano, a personal favorite. She worked with them in their best album, incidently. Imagine the shock when I found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totaly agree. The score was totaly negligable, had very little impact on the movie. My Best Friend's Wedding, Anasatia and As Good as it gets were far more deserving. And IMO MIB could have gotten it just for the main theme. Best Friend's Wedding in particular deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,383 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Anne Dudley was member of The Art of Noise? I didn't know that. I had the "Who's Afraid of..." record. They really made a difference at their time. And out of curiousity I bought her score to "Felidae", an animated movie to a book I had read in a 2nd hand CD shop. Nice solid dramatic score. But I never saw the movie and never connected her with TAoN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,383 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 In the meantime I digged deeper into her musical work.

Richard Penna 3,696 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I came across her score for the LotR wannabe Tristan and Isolde many years ago - a nice, melodic score with a slight medieval flavour and a bit of minor action.

From what I can remember from the dim, distant past, The 10th Kingdom music was good, traditional stuff you'd expect from a fairy tale sort of story. I think I had the soundtrack at one point? Check it out for yourself if you can: Spotify - 10th Kingdom OST I remember enjoying the miniseries well enough. Somewhat cheesy, light-hearted and fun. I watched it mainly because of the cute-as-a-friggin-button Kimberly Williams (I refuse to add that singer's name). *sigh* So lovely. I also did really enjoy what little we got of her score on the Buster soundtrack. Would have liked to have heard more, but what can ya do. Also like her jaunty "Jeeves and Wooster" theme. Very spot-on for the period. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One should get AMERICAN HISTORY X (her masterpiece), ANCIENT & MODERN, BENEDETTA, POLDARK and PUSHING TIN. And then perhaps the odd Art of Noise album. Then you're set.

Hands off Gentlemen Don't Eat Poets! Nice music. But the album is rather a radio play of the movie than a soundtrack album. Dialogues between and during the tracks.

1977 1,743 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I can pick it up for like USD 1.50. Maybe I can run it through Audacity's vocal removal tool. Gave the first five or six tracks a listen on Spotify and wow! What an incredible score! So annoying about the dialogue (and SFX to boot) though. Who started this trend of including film dialogue over music on soundtrack albums and when do we get to tar and feather them? Imagine someone saying "nah, don't get that soundtrack album. It's only got the music, there's no talking". Update. Gave the rest of the tracks a scan-through listen and it appears there are quite a few clean cues sans dialogue..thank goodness. I'll be ordering this tomorrow. Yavar Moradi and GerateWohl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977 1,743 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I'm in South Africa. There are probably no more than five serious score collectors here including myself*. Although used score CDs are scarce here, when they do pop up in second hand stores or online they're a steal. The most I've ever paid here for a used score CD is around USD 20 - for Kamen's Baron Munchausen. Generally one can pick stuff up for between USD 1 and 5, but I've even acquired a good few score CDs for a quarter or two each. * Disclaimer: this is a rough estimate, there may be significantly less Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
