|
I recently noticed that the Bourne Supremacy album has the last song omitted called "Extreme Ways" by Moby. I think this song is an excellent compliment to the rest of the album and I find it to be an enjoyable listen. I am posting this poll to try to get this song added to the album/playlist so that it can be requested. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this subject. Thank you for your time and consideration in this manner.  |

its part of the movie series. it was used at the end of the bourne identity, and i bet it will be used again for the bourne ultamtum. but none score / composed music is something that needs discussing by everyone. otherwise we will have a flood of band music and it wont actually be a soundtrack station. |

Hey joyrider,

To me it adds nothing to the movie score. To me it is just a song used for the end credits nothing more. A song I enjoy very much though |

Thanks to those who have contributed their opinions on this subject. Are there any others out there that have any comments regarding the addition of this song? It appears that several people are interested in adding this song and hope that a few more votes may be enough to get this song added. Thank you for your time in voting or contributing to this thread. |

Although I have nothing against Moby (in fact, I like a lot of his stuff), I'm also in favour of trying to keep things as orchestral as possible around here. So I vote no. |

Okay I thought I would bump this up and add a little more information for my recommendation to add the missing Moby song.
Recently I read some of the reasoning behind certain "pop" songs being added and certain "pop" songs not being added to the playlist with the main reasoning being the song must be directly associated with the movie. Some examples that were given were like "Danger Zone" of course for Top Gun or "Grease Lightning" of course for Grease etc. Well this song is definitely closely associated with this movie and I think would be a great addition to the playlist. I am hoping to get some more votes for this addition and possibly bring about some more discussion. Thx in advance for your contributions.

As far as the song being related to the movie, I personally have never heard this song anywhere except during the movie score. I am also an orchestral person, like others I like to keep things orchestral, but this is not a heavy metal song, and is not outside the genere of music types played here. I voted for it, and I hope it is added eventually.

I go back and forth on this one. No, the song was not written specifically for the movie, like "Danger Zone" was for Top Gun, for example. But neither was "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky, and that song will forever be associated with that movie. And as joyrider noted, it has been used in both Bourne films, so there is a certain association.
No, it is not orchestral, but it is a heckuvalot closer to the overall style and tone of this site than a lot of other included tracks, especially cerain show tunes, like Grease, or STs from movies like Transformers (though those are both worthy in their own right).
I'm still not sure, but I voted 'yes'.

There is the Top Gun 'instrumental' theme song however which I believe was composed specifically for the movie.
In terms of Danger Zone and Eye of the Tiger however, I find that these songs are almost universally associated with the movies. People know Eye of the Tiger as "the Rocky theme." I do not know the song in question, but if it is synonymous with the movie, then you've got my vote.

perhaps in sticking w/ the request stickied at the top of this forum you could post a SHORT sound clip?
I have no idea what you're referring to nor the time to go look it up (Don't help him JC)

I think that the song should be included on the playlist. I've heard it several times. I like the musical part of it, but I'm not a fan of the voice part.
Even though I don't like it that much, I think it's important. The end credits are an important part of the soundtrack, as they can have quite an effect on the movie viewer's mood after the movie (Moulin Rouge).
If you're leaving the theatre after a sad emotional film, and they blast some hard rock at you, I think your emotional mood would quickly fade. I think credits are important. |

Well Thur, ask and ye shall receive. Here is the amazon.com link with the samples for all of the songs. The song I am trying to have added to the playlist is the last song called "Extreme Ways". Hope this helps and like I said the song and especially the instrumental part of it are very much associated with the Bourne movies IMO.
I hope this helps and maybe convince more people that it is a worthy addition to the playlist. |

Sorry, my earlier post was unclear, so I've edited it. "Danger Zone" was written for Top gun. |
