Summary

"Split into four sections, the book reviews the soundtracks and summarises the films that spawned them. The first part covers the breadth of pop and rock musical feature films: from Rock Around the Clock through to The Pick of Destiny. Section two concentrates on documentary and performance films, from the classic summer of love sounds of Woodstock to the contemporary inter-band rivalry of Dig!" "The third part explores the soundtracks of the great cult films of recent memory, where pop culture and pulp fiction meet, such as Trainspotting, Easy Rider and Reservoir Dogs. The final section will look at rock star scores, the rock and pop film scores and the pop luminaries behind them, such as Peter Gabriel, Nick Cave and Ry Cooder."--BOOK JACKET.
