Moss Side Story

This was so boring and awful

A soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist, but if it did, it would be bad. Is the novelty the reason why this album was included? Because I'll be honest, it's not doing it for me. Movie soundtracks work when you go back and listen to them because you have something visual in your memory to associate the music with. It plays on the emotions you felt watching the movie. Here you don't get that, and it just doesn't work.

Just noises, dont get these

Reminded me of a school music class project, an interesting idea perhaps but not enough to justify an album. Overall it was a bit tedious and self indulgent.

Instrumental??

No thanks

O.5

What are we doing here? Is this music? Is this the history of the vinyl record?

It was hot garbage.

Absolutely pointless

Moss Side Story is a sountrack with a film to connect to. It's what it is, there's nothing really that stands out. 1/5 because it's boring without that context.

i don't understand why this album is on this list

the fuck was this? some weird ambient album. i hated it.

Making music for a movie that doesn’t exist is like sex without a partner: it’s fine but ultimately joyless… …and don’t be passing off an *actual*soundtrack track by covering Elmer Bernstein’s magisterial The Man With The Golden Arm theme. Point docked.

I can see and appreciate the concept, I just don't have any desire to listen to it.

Note taste

Nonsense.

No actual songs on it, only a variete of soundscapes. I do not get it. Would perhaps had worked well as a movie soundtrack, but then there is not a movie..

Pretty odd album. Basically just instrumentals and ambiance type music. Never really felt worthwhile or enjoyable. 2.0/10

First song is just noise. Weird album, not very musical.

Nous avons ici malheureusement affaire à un hors-sujet total : ce film policier d'entrée de gamme n'a en aucun cas sa place dans la liste des 1001.

Pfoe

Weird!

What is this? - I don’t even feel like it is worth the research..

Tried it twice. Worse the second time. A movie score for an imaginary movie seems interesting in theory, but in practice? Nonsensical. Moreover, "themes" means something. Listening to Shiffrin's "Bullit", you'll hear a melody repeated throughout the score - it's the THEME. It's the musical thread we follow from scene-to-scene. In Moss Side Story, there is no theme and worse, there's no context. In "Bullit", you know what "Music to Interrogate By" is referring to. In "Moss Side", it's just random pieces poorly welded together. I listened to it twice, on consecutive days. Didn't enjoy, at all.

What an insanely stupid idea. Is there seriously anyone out there who actively listens to this? I can't imagine willingly devoting an hour of your life listening to a soundtrack to a movie that does not exist. Waste of time, space and energy. The most baffling addition to this list so far. The only good song is "The Man With The Golden Arm" and it's just a bonus cover.

When I first looked at what this album was about, I was initially skeptical. I mean, a man holding an umbrella with the words, "In a black and white world murder brings a touch of colour..." a) who would write that on an umbrella and b) who spells color like that. It's still color without u. And as Sinead says, nothing compares to u. Except v. It's awfully close to u. Turns out I was right about my initial skepticism. If I recorded an "album" that was the sound of every point that Rafa Nadal has played, it would be truly inventive. But does it deserve to be listened to? I would say "yes", because whoever voted for this list of 1001 albums that you should listen to before you die might be thinking the same thing. I would call the first song, "Losing builds the man"... then work my way through "Clay court king", etc. etc. It would be genius. Not like all the rambling in this review. Or the rambling of this album.

Soundtracks aren't my thing. Interesting concept, but that's where my enjoyment for this project ends.

No. I get it's a fake soundtrack and it's moody, but really!?

What the hell is this?

It's just a fake film score. I'm sure it would fit a film very well, but why must we hear it without the pictures? Who curated this list?

What is this? Why is this? It's so confusing and so expansive across music styles. It sounds like video game soundtrack music sometimes

As a movie soundtrack, pretty cool. As an hour long album, ehhh The Swinging Detective was pretty dope, however

Scary. Very scary

Dumb

Pues si, parece una banda sonora. Pero lo veo a años luz de ser un imprescindible. Mas bien es un experimento o incluso un disco de piloto automático

“Score for a made up movie” 0/10

Con una radio vieja y unas latas vacías yo podría hacer mejor música

Very weird - listened while trying to finish up ERRS requests and it feels hectic. I do think it'd be a good as a film soundtrack as intended, and it's an interesting concept, but not my cup of tea.

A mess

a soundtrack to a nonexistant movie.. PASS
