"Dead Man" - Original Score/Soundtrack by Neil Young - Classic or Dud?

he does have good taste. soundtrack albums often better than the movies! (see e.g. coffee and cigarettes.)

To be fair the soundtrack to virtually any movie is probably better than Coffee & Cigarettes.

the crow ost is the worst record i have ever heard

Touche.

on the topic of his tastes in music, this extended invisible jukebox session with jarmusch is v good

classique

i got an electric guitar recently and found out how easy this score must have been to make

yes

the lushly coarse physicality of the sleeve was the only thing that has ever tempted me to hear the soundtrack out of the context of the film – in fact, nor have I seen the film apart from once, in the cinema, alone, when it was first released. The combination of style, story and score on a GREAT BIG SCREEN with REALLY LOUD SPEAKERS in the DARK was so great that I walked out thinking “I don’t ever want to experience any of that in lesser surroundings.”

I saw it in the theater with a date. After the movie, I asked what she thought.
She said, "What do I think? I think we should have been on heroin for that thing!"

recently watched dead man projected outdoors. the sound was actually rather shitty and disappointing--just the way they had the speakes set up relative to our position i guess. think heroin would be a bad idea. booze imo.

if u did heroin and alcohol u could end up a dead man yrself

this is such a great film and score

last jarmusch film was waste

I was stoned as fuck when I first wandered into the theater to see this - highly recommended

Jarmusch's best imho

here's white man's metal next to your heart.
I tried to cut it out, but it's too deep inside.
A knife would cut your heart instead...
and release the spirit from within.
stupid fucking white man.

i always liked how ebert described it as sounding like young was dropping his guitar over and over

Ebert's not a Neil fan, apparently. He picked Year Of The Horse as the worst film of 1997.

I love the soundtrack, though. That descending figure that keeps recurring is one of my favorite moments of his whole career.

Wanted this on LP but it's like almost $400!!

What else is like it?

some of Earth's stuff

Brightblack Morning Light, kinda

Earth yes, don't know if I really hear it in Brightblack Morning Light.
This is one of the best soundtracks of all time and one of the best thing Neil's done. So, so good.

Also, Alan Sparhawk's Solo Guitar is kinda like this.

Billy Bob Thornton's delivery of the phrase "by God" is a thing of beauty

"it gives me the shits every time"

i put this on last night while cooking. holds up.

can't drink whiskey like a usedtacould
