And we’re back! Noel Gallagher, who I’m sure you’ll know as one fifth of the band Oasis, contributed to the album for the X-Files movie and the song as the credits began to play. I’d hope you’ll notice a distinct change in the music - an instrumental, electronic, new-age piece that is always good listening for me for a chillout track. As for the name, we can only presume he refers to the Teotihuacán. It’s a long track at over seven minutes long, perhaps it’ll help you take solace in the fact I’ve been missing for over a week! Enjoy Noel Gallagher’s “Teotihuacan”:
Continuing a theme of theatrical, trailer-like music from previously featured E.S. Posthumus (check their website - there’s details and a sample of a new record coming soon!) comes Clint Mansell’s “Lux Aeterna” - latin for ‘eternal light’ - taken from the soundtrack to Requiem for a Dream, and subsequently used in several film trailers, such as Danny Boyle’s Sunshine, and an adapted version for The Two Towers, aptly called “Requiem for a Tower”. It starts of quiet, but once you hear it, you’ll recognise it and be incredibly captivated by it:
Today’s song was recommended by my friend David who had this very astute sentence to say: “I’ve got a banging song you can put on Something Chewie!” I couldn’t say no, so here we are with The Cult’s “Painted On My Heart”. You’ve most likely heard about their background, so there’s no need to go into detail - but this song was released in 2000 after their reunion from their 4 year hiatus, and was part of the soundtrack to the film “Gone in 60 Seconds”. It’s rocking, so give it a listen!
