QUENTIN himself discloses the climactic scores that fuel his films.
Bob Dylan
Blood On The Tracks
“This is my favourite album ever. I spent the end of my teenage
years and my early twenties listening to old music – rockabilly
music, stuff like that. Then I discovered folk music when I was
25, and that led me to Dylan. He totally blew me away with this.
It’s like the great album from the second period, y’know? He did
that first run of albums in the Sixties, then he started doing his
less troublesome albums – and out of that comes Blood On The
Tracks. It’s his masterpiece.”
Bernard Herrmann
Sisters
“This is from a Brian De Palma movie. It’s a pretty scary film,
and the soundtrack… ok if you want to freak yourself out, turn
out all the lights and sit in the middle of the room and listen to
this. You won’t last a minute. When I’m first thinking about a
movie I’ll start looking for songs that reflect the personality of
the movie, I’ll start looking for songs which can reflect the per-
sonality of the movie. The record I think most about is the one
which plays during the opening credits, because that’s the one
which sets the tone of the movie. Like in Reservoir Dogs, when
you see the guys all walking out of the diner, and that bass line
from ‘Little Green Bag’ kicks in – you just know there’s gonna
be trouble.”
Elvis Presley
The Sun Sessions
“This has been a hugely important album to me. I was always a
big rockability fan and a big Elvis fan, and to me this album is
the purest expression of Elvis there was. Sure, there are bet-
ter individual songs – but no one collection ever touched the
album. When I was young, I used to think Elvis was the voice of
truth. I don’t know what that means, but his voice… shit man, it
sounded so fucking pure. If you grew up loving Elvis, this is it.
Forget the Vegas period: if you really love Elvis, you’re ashamed
of that man in Vegas. You feel like he let you down. The hillbilly
cat never let you down.”
