What Music would you put in the Movie?

[Jade Rose]

Okay, so we have this forum floating around somewhere about who we would cast if they really do turn Necroscope into a movie. Oddly enough we don't have anything going round about what music we'd put in the movie. Since music is very important to the overall tone and feel of what's going on, or it gives hints as to what's coming up in the very immediate future. I figured I'd toss it out there as something we can have some fun with. So if you have a suggestion tell what scene you'd put it with and what the song is (add artists if you know them but you know how many people are good at that!)
So here's mine, when Harry comes to the conclusion about Shukshin has to die for killing his mother and that he's going to do it, even though his mother tried talking him out of it. Until it Sleeps would be good there, but I'd say to use the Apocalyptica version on the grounds that it's an instrumental and it's very fluid and flowing, plus with the emotion behind that interlude the words that are actually in the song would be a distraction.
So there we go. If anyone out there thinks I'm crazy for my idea or even starting this thread, I welcome you to say so. Just felt I'd try and throw out something new and fun that's easy for everyone to join in on, new or old.

[Goth Girl]

I think this has been discussed before, but probably long ago, when the movie was just a pipe dream! And maybe Nathan (the king of old posts!) can remember where it was posted, but I can't!

Like casting, music is such a personal thing and everyone has such different tastes, we're probably all gonna have very conflicting views!

I don't think the music I listen to would work for the Necroscope movie at all though! I doubt most of you know any of the bands I listen to (except P, although apologies if we've got any secret Combichrist fans in here!), but the stuff I like is probably too bleepy!

I wouldn't like to have Apocalyptica or Nightwish, that kinda thang, but that's just because I don't like them (no offence intended Jade!). I love Danny Elfman soundtracks, but I don't think it'd work with the kind of film I hope Necroscope turns out as (see my Newsletter article if you want to know what I mean!).

I guess something atmospheric and dark would work well, or for fight scenes, maybe some pounding industrial like Rammstein. But I'm biased because I like Rammstein (woo-hoo, Brixton Feb 3rd!)

OK, I'll shut up now! smile.gif

[Jade Rose]

No it's okay... I listen to a lot of odd stuff that wouldn't work to... I haven't really looked at all the older posts that are hidden away. I was just trying to start something that everyone could talk about that kind of gives hints about a person. But I keep seeing comments about newbies not joining in anything, and I figured starting something up that's easy for everyone to get involved in would be a good thing... if this has been done and hashed out already, then I guess it's okay if you delelte it. I'm not going to hold it agiasnt you... Maybe I really ought to go looking through all the older stuff. Funny that you don't like Apocalyptica, you're mention of them in the what's your spinner round is how I found them. (I think they're great, but then I play both violin and cello.)

[Goth Girl]

No, this is cool... it's not an ongoing discussion anywhere else! And if I haven't got the time to wade through a billion old posts in search of one or two, I don't expect anyone else to! It never really got talked about in depth anyway, so it's great to revive it. smile.gif

Think I mentioned Apocalyptica after I saw them at a festival in Germany... was amusing to listen to, but really not my thing at all... but's it cool if I spread the word! (Cello and violin! wow, I could barely manage the triangle!)

Anyway, I'm getting off-topic, so am moderating myself!

Anyone else any ideas for the Necroscope soundtrack? smile.gif

[Nathan]

I found four.

ONE (http://www.brianlumley.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=000258)

TWO (http://www.brianlumley.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=000234)

THREE (http://www.brianlumley.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=000228)

FOUR (http://www.brianlumley.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=000212)

There's some older ideas for you if you wanna check 'em out. Plenty of good music since then and plenty of ideas unspoken...

smile.gif

[Goth Girl]

Sheesh, N8, you been putting in some overtime there! smile.gif

Some of those are seriously old discussions... lots of old names as well!

[Hubris]

I'd really like to hear that "Darkmage And The Demonseed" that mentalhell posted up. I recently contacted Brian on permission to record our song "The Final March of the Tartars." It's a death metal battle march so to speak and I shouldn't need to tell you what it's about. I'll be recording it next week and it will strictly for the site. You guys will know when it hits. Can't wait.

And I would have to go with some kind of original score for the movie. I like Pybob's suggestion of Danny Elfman.

[Helmet Head]

There is a particular ELO tune that always reminds me of Necro for some reason, every time I here it my imagination just runs through a kind of extended trailer for the movie and my mind kinda orders the scenes to the music.

The particular tune I'm on about isn't really a song proper as there are no real words to it, it's called Fire on High and has that kind of erie feel to it but also some uplifting high tempo bits with acoustic guitars.

If anybody checks it out let me know what you think as it's quite possibly just my over active imagination and Tops tends laugh at my suggestions.
I remember bringing this up at KC3 in the bar, and when I said Evanesence's (no idea how to spell that) Wake me up would be good for a Necro Promo video Tom just laughed and told me to go back to sleep (You cut me deep bro....you cut me real deep :( )

;)

[Hubris]

ELO?

[Jade Rose]

Yes, Helm that song is definitely a creeper tune, but I like. I believe ELO is Electric Lights Orchestra, or that's who came up when I put in the song title. It's going to have to grow on me, but I guess it COULD work...
As to Evanescence, my first point is that the song your referring to is not titled wake me up, it's Bring me to Life. Second if you're going to go with them you'd have to have one of the more "haunting" melodies. Haunted, My Imaginary, or perhaps Hello.
If we're going to go with a popular song with a more "upbeat" melody behind it, Head full of Ghosts by Bush might work.
If it'll make you feel any less like an idiot, I keep thinking the song Stitches by Orgy would work somewhere, perhaps in the bit with Harry and Karen and that couple of days they spend locked away in Karen's Aerie exploring the boundaries of sex among the Whamphyri, yeah, it could really work right there. And if that won't work, Closer from NIN would always be a good choice.
Instrumental stuff is great, especially when I can hear the stringed instruments, but I'd say we'd have to have a few songs out there with words. Not all, just some... because it's fun when you can sing along with the song in the movie (it's not so fun when you can sing along with it and not know the title. Course this is coming from the girl who spent half of that Pirates of the Caribbean movie trying to figure out what turtles had to do with anything, so you know. Feel free to ignore me).

[HydraCluster]

Ghosts and Gadgets.....

Somewhat modern but distorted electronic modern themes, but a switch to crude wooden/string instruments for certain other scenes. And any other song Brian thinks should play in a car radio or a scene when some random character is at home doing whatever.

[Goth Girl]

Probably a bit cliched, but I think Diamanda Galas would be a great choice for the sound track.

If you don't know the name, one of her songs is used towards the end of Bram Stoker's Dracula (where the coach races back to the castle), and also in Natural Born Killers, around the snake-bite/Indian scene... you know the demonic warbling "Devil, devil, devil..." bit? That's her!

[Helmet Head]

Your right Jade ELO stands for The Electric Light Orchestra

[Silky]

Once again ... I know I've already posted this recently ... Danny Elfman and the folks who did the theme for Farscape.

[WampyrLord]

One of my favourite films of recent times is Resident Evil. The second installment, 'Apocalypse' was made on a much larger budget, with bigger scenes and superior locations. Even though this may be the case, I still prefer the first one. In my opinion the main difference between the 2 films is not the money spent but the background atmosphere, generated by none ther than Marilyn Manson. Dunno why they didn't ask him back for the second film but it sure shows, the first film is far more jumpy and scarier through his input.

[Jade Rose]

I just have to come in and say that in terms of Danny Elfman. I agree with you all. I know who is now, kind of. Edward Scissorhands. I'm not obsessed with it and in downloading music discovered that he did the music. So yes, he should do Necroscope. I've been made a believer.

[Malinari]

Right then, I'm not sure about during the movie but there is a good song that could be a theme tune. It's a B-side to a song by a band called Busted (people from the US might not know them).
It's called "Runaway Train". I don't know who originally released it. I think it would suite the movie well because of one line:

"I can go where no one else can go..."

Sounds all mysterious like the Harry Keogh we all know and maybe love and it sorta maches the whole mobius continuim thing- no one else can go. Im talking utter rubbish here lol.

[skinters]

to be honest my heart says ,yeah make a necroscope film ,but my head is saying i just hope it dont turn out like so many book to films that have gone wrong in the past and cant really see any director script music score that will do the fantastic story brian has created any justice at all....i fear the worse

ill put this reply to all the of the necro film threads ,sorry i sound so negative ,jus my thoughts

[ February 19, 2005, 08:38 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[Jade Rose]

Ooops! Sorry, I was looking at this and thought I was in the necroknowledge thing and tried to put up my question here. But, Skints you are entitled to your own oppinion. And I as well worry they'll mess it up when/if they convert the books to film. I mean, they butchered Queen of the Damned when they did it (and I kept a running commentary of everything they did wrong throughout the whole movie). But while they might ruin it, the prospect of getting it out there is just so much fun. And who knows how many new fans we could end up with.

[Hubris]

Right on!!! There's a soundtrack I can relate to.

[Exsanguinator]

I've really gone off Danny Elfman for Necro-movie scoring... His stuff's great but too associated with super-heroes and PG12 films.

Now I'm more inclined towards a Mancini/Kamen collaberation as with Lifeforce (imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089489/))- the overture to that film always comes to mind when I'm reading the saga...

Trouble is they've both passed on!

[ March 16, 2005, 05:08 AM: Message edited by: Exsanguinator ]

[Jade Rose]

Sorry Exsanguinator I'm totally unfamiliar with that film or the noted composers. Then agian you have to realize I only found Elfman in the last month. Course I'm the girl who lives in a book. My friends are serioucly fretting over the fact that I'm soon to be getting a new Lumley book (Necroscope and Other Weird Heroes). I don't get out as much as I probably should. But there are just SO many good books to be read yet.

[barno]

I think a soundtrack in the same vain of "the crow" would work.

Dead Souls by NIN would be magic with any number of scenes I can think of off the top of my head.

[Bite me]

There's always been a scene in "Deadspawn" that I think would be good in a movie. When Harry and Karen realize that Shaitan and Shaithis are on their way to Starside, Harry should get on a flyer to do reconnaisance. Pausing on the brink of the bay, he remembers Brenda,a little of his life before he became a vampire, and "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty starts playing. The flyer drops out over the edge of he bay, and just as it's wings catch air, the chorus of the song kicks in, really hard. Also, the fight scene in the Chateau, "Let the bodies hit the floor", I think it was by Rob Zombie. Fast paced, and quite appropriately named, both the song and the artist.

Just my 2 cents....

[Jade Rose]

Minor correction. Let the bodies hit the floor was not by Rob Zombie. It was by Drowning Pool.

[Bite me]

My bad.

[gagrielle]

i think metallicas orion off of masters of puppets cd would be good on a mobious trip

[chris the glut]

I'm not sure about rock music for the movie. An original score would be my preference. A good dose of gypsy music wouldn't go astray (depends of course on which scenarios make it into the script). I would however hate for the movie to suffer from cramming multiple storylines into 90mins at the expense of character development. This story needs to unravel at its own pace. I say one movie per novel. There are too many great characters to leave out. Yes to Dragosani, but wouldn't you love to see Johnny Found!

[Necropyre]

Hi everyone, glad to finally be joining the ranks of Brian Lumley fans!! At least officially, anyway. I've been reading Brian's works since the 8th grade.

Anyway, I just wanted to throw a song for the soundtrack out into the open arena of suggestions.

There is a band called The Last Dance that recently did a remake of the Oingo Boingo classic, "Dead Man's Party". They are a industrial goth-style band, who do incredible shows, but are still not that well known.

Firstly, I saw that Danny Elfman (of Oingo Boingo) might be looked at for a possible orchestrational soundtrack. I'm sure he'd have given the okay for the remake of his song, so it would be an interesting tie-in.

Secondly, soundtracks are always a good jumping board for slightly unknown bands to finally make it into the limelight, especially given recent collections for "Underworld", "Resident Evil" and "Elektra", which helped to introduce bands like Luna Coil or Evanescence on the "Daredevil" compilation.

Plus, the music can be purchased for use for a bit cheaper than hugely known bands. Fans of horror films tend to be extremely faithful and especially to their music choices. Benefits abound!

Anyway, I am looking forward to this movie and hope I can do anything to boost it's success. I am also hoping to see another, even if it's the last, Necroscope novel. None of the books in the complete series has ever let me down, but the fourth, "Deadspeak" is my all-time favorite. It has all the elements that make you love Harry and love-hate the vampires.

Feel free to write to me at my e-mail address. I'll let you know how you can tune in to my internet radio show I air on Wednesdays and Fridays from my home while I do my real job of processing medical claims. smile.gif I'm also trying to become a horror writer myself. Been writing since the 4th grade.

Much love to all you fellow Necro-fans. Let's make this movie rock!

[ July 08, 2005, 02:27 PM: Message edited by: Necropyre ]

[gman980]

just been reading though, and there are some real good ideas, i've just been re-reading the books and listening to Korn: see you on the other side, it is as if it was written for the necroscope!!

[CGGorman]

Most movies with contemporary (to the time of production) music featured heavily in the soundtrack do not age well.

I would like to hear an original score from an actual composer. Let the London Symphony do the recording.

Elfman sounds good in my book. Listen closely to the Planet of the Apes opening credits. Very heavy and moving (despite the less-than-moving-story).

I've always been a fan of chant and opera in movie soundtracks, as well. "O' Fortuna" from "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff come to mind (it's prominent in Excalibur, among others. Very popular.) "Ride of the Valkyries" seems an obvious choice, too.

If we're gonna do some rock music, let's make it period. Sisters of Mercy, maybe? Old Metallica? Gorky Park? In-a-gadda-da-vidda during the early years?

Certainly nothing that sounds "trendy".

But that's just me, and I'm well known to be off-kilter.

Rob Zombie can pick out a decent soundtrack from older music...

[Mr_Eamcat]

I reckon an original score by Tool/Type O Negative with orchestral accompaniment would fit my idea of the movie.

Nice and heavy, gothic, melodramatic with classical undertones. Rar.

[FrostD]

I just think that during scenes of Harry comunicating with Deadspeak, there could be some parts of songs from Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here". Not just that song, but from any of the songs from that album, since they are mostly all about someone who's gone now.

[CGGorman]

I always imagined the deadspeak "channel" sounding alot like being under water. You get all the normal ambient sounds (cars, birds, wind, etc.), but it's distorted and subdued but there, while the voice of Harry and his friend(s) are loud and clear (maybe even slightly OVER-amplified and too-clear.) If somebody tries to talk aloud AND use deadspeak, then you get a wierd cross-talk or echo as the filtered "underwater" sound of the real voice interferes with the faster, clearer deadspeak.

Just the way I imagined it.

[Apocalyptic Destroyer Of Angels]

Couldn't go wrong with a bit of Necrophagia. You never know, they might even like to write Dragosani's theme . "Necrophagia's - Necromancer!"?

[Chris Banks]

Think the whole of Slayer's Reign in Blood should do it! Eerie (or is that Aerie) sh*t!! Angry stuff. Appropriate themes for any scene. :mad: Heh heh. grin.gif

So true. Slayer would make an awesome soundtrack!.

[topol_sheap]

how about james blunt? or REM... happy happy joy joy, it's the only way forward for this tongue.gif

[Exsanguinator]

Cool - got to get a couple of Phil Collins tracks on there too...

----

Must go for a Silkwood-style scrub down, feel so dirty after saying that. that's something that should never be said, even in jest!

[topol_sheap]

yeah and celine dion ;) it's the way forward... get leo dicaprio as harry and winslet as brenda... mix it up with the ebranch trilogy so you have a boat, and then you could have leo and winslet standing at the front of the boat, with celine dion singing in the back ground... thinks that's good?

[Hempy2112]

I guess I picture it a little differently. I'd go more for a "Bladerunner" feel to the music. Not so much known songs, but rather "sounds and effects" that enhance a scene. Just my .02

[Neophyte_Telepath]

I agree with Hempy, however my idea would be something like Jeff Wayne's musical adaption of War of the Worlds minus the narrative, just a blend of different music and sounds.

[John & Paul]

You guys have got to recognise when Tops is taking the piss grin.gif

[Sophie]

yeah will Tops joining in with Celine dion as a duet tongue.gif

[John & Paul]

nothing would surprise me with Tops Sophie lol

[Chris Banks]

Think I've broached this subject once before - but purely for Tops' benefit - Disposable Heroes from MOP by Metallica seems violent enough a track to be included. (Tops - Spoonerisms. For Master Of Puppets, read 'Fozzy Bear's Vicar'!! ie, Pastor of Muppets!) tongue.gif tongue.gif I am not a well person. smile.gif

[Chris Banks]

And of course, Carmina Burana by Carl Off and Ride of the Walkyri by Wagner would HAVE to be in there somewhere - wouldn't they? :rolleyes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’
Lord Wazzuck the Feckless of Taunton

[Bawjawz]

Well Chris De Burgh could sing a ditty every time someone pops it.

When slow, gross, evil stuff is going on, all you need is an Organ and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

When theres an onslaught of rape, torture and more rape, courtesy of the Whamphiri I reckon some Metallica would fit the bill.

And last but not least when the goodies are doing some Vampire slaying, some choice Muse tracks should suffice.

Copyright permitting though....

[Timotheos]

Carmina Burana o Fortuna needs to be in there.

[Chris Banks]

Err....., see previous post but one, matey!! By the way, new victim on the block!! Heads up 1 and all! Welcome aboard Tim O Tay (Sic). :D :D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’
Lord Wazzuck the Feckless of Taunton

[Timotheos]

Ha! That's what I get for not reading the thread (I was too busy with Necroscope: Resurgence).

[CreatureCore7]

I'm a metal head, but I'm going to say this anyway. I think a metal type soundtrack would really cheapen the film. I can imagine it: Every fight scene with blurry close ups so you can't see what the Hell is going on, and a loud techno-metallic tune playing amid the blood spurts and whumps. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there could be a place for it, like the end credits.
Something with lots of strings...Dark, melancholy, cold...Imagine what you'd like to hear in the background when young Boris Dragosani hears Faethors phlegmy deadspeak voice for the first time in the Cruciform Hills...

Hehehhhhh...That makes me smile a Devilish grin!

[megadeth]

I'm a metal freak as well, but I've got to agree with you. As much as I like to hear Metal and rock in movies, (The Crow for me being a great example of rock music enhancing the atmosphere), I just don't really see it working in Necroscope.

[Bite me]

Carmina Burana o Fortuna needs to be in there.

I'd say the battle scene in The Source, cutting between the different fights amongs the Dweller's people and the Wamphyri

[Timotheos]

I'd say the battle scene in The Source, cutting between the different fights amongs the Dweller's people and the Wamphyri

Definately.

Or just in the preview. That way they could really use it for a whoooole lot of different things.

[Ilya Sul]

Something of Hans Zimmer would be great...:D har i love him

[Turgosheim]

Its obvious, people, that Pink Floyd's musical style is the ideal medium to add flavour to the Necroscope Saga. Although, knowing Hollywood, the likes of Rob Zombie or some such will get the gig.

When I listen to track one of Floyd's Atom Heart Mother, the big long one at the start, I think about Wamphyri Aeries and Lords and Ladies of the Wamphyri riding out over the boulder plains on their flyers, about to hunt yet more Szgany.

Ergo, Pink Floyd, or at least, Dave Gilmour should do something for the soundtrack.

If Necroscope is a UK-based production (and quite rightly so) then Murray Gold who does the new Doctor Who music would also be a great contributor. I think Doctor Who and its Torchwood spin-off mirrors quite a bit of the mood of Necroscope, certainly the Russian/British E-Branches. Some of Gold's music on Doctor Who Series 2 would be perfect for Necroscope.
However, knowing Hollywood, it'll be done in Canada or New Zealand. Cristophe Gans should direct cos I like what he did with Silent Hill.

[dwhuntley]

I'm thinking Queensryche. Dark, metal, conspiratorial. Let them do the entire sound track. Kinda like Queen did for Flash Gordon. Depending on what the music is, I think it would really set this apart as a horror classic. We all know the story will be great. Make sure to go the extra mile on a music sound track and it's an assured hit!

[Chris Banks]

And don't forget the umlaut above the 'y'!! Absolutely agree with you. Queensryche. Is that Rage For Order Queensryche, or Empire Queensryche, or Tribe Queensryche? Any of that would do. There is some fantastic tune on all their albums. Why didn't I think of that? Harumph!! Good shout DW - and welcome to the board as well. Speak your mind here. Everyone else does!! And it's a good giggle, too, innit,Silver Speshal? Heh heh heh. :D :D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’
Lord Mandy the Feckless of Taunton!!

[Silver]

It sure is Mandy. Although I like my metal, I'm thinking that mixing some classical sounding stuff in there would be very good. I think sometimes metal in a horror film can make it a bit to cliche if you know what I mean. Classical sounding stuff works really well though I think, subtle enough for you not to notice it too much and for the music not to take over from the picture which is how I think it should be, it's an accompaniment, not the main feature, just helps to set the atmosphere.

In my opinion though there should definately NOT be any Pink Floyd, don't like those guys!

[23Nt3X]

Trent Reznor Jr. playing some piano type stuff a'la the "Still" cd (its only available from nin.com) Leaving Hope is ASTOUNDING. Trent is a HUGE fan of Necroscope books... So's Brian "Manson" Warner...
If thier label won't let them... Psudonym time....

"Great Harry's ghost!"
"Ummm... not really... More like Great Harry's Lich's ghost!!"

[Wolfhound668]

Anything instrumental, preferably in a minor key, would work for me. :)

I do have to agree with what some folks have said about metal being out for the soundtrack. It's personally one of my favorite types of music and I've played in several metal bands over the years.

The band I spent the most time in even wrote and released a song based on a novel by a different author (not sure about the rules here so I won't mention the author or novel... unless someone's interested and asks). That particular novel has been in the netherworld of "are they making the movie or not?" probably as long as The Necroscope. Now, maybe I'm biased but I think the song would work great for an opening credits song. Within the movie? I just don't see it working (although someone at a fansite for the novel that had also heard the song pointed out some scenes he thought it would work good in so go figure).

Someone mentioned Queen in Flash Gordon as to what would be good for a soundtrack. Ugh. Queen in Highlander, now that was a soundtrack. :D

[kenny]

Couldn't agree more on the Queen soundtracks, Highlander film soso, soundtrack super :cool: .
I'll ask before anyone else does, who was the author and what was the novel?

[Chris Banks]

Yeah. C'mon Wolf, I'm droolin' here. Do tell about the author and the book. :mad:

[Wolfhound668]

Ok, some boards frown on it. The novel was Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. For the super-curious it can be found on itunes. :)

[Mivan]

Polish hip hop. I can contact with polish artists ;] Hip hop die? Ok, we are zombies!

[VampingMom]

Evanessence has some really dramatic music...it would be nice to see some of their stuff on the soundtrack...
