Just bought the DMS soundtrack after a huge scour for it through the streets of Liverpool, managed to get it from an independant retailers for £7.99  The great thing is that every single one of the songs fits the cinematic tone and atmosphere to a tee. I especially think Shane did a superb job with the 'tripping' scene, where he picked a song called 'Forgotten Thoughts' to accompany the piece of film. The song makes me a little edgy, queezy and a little confused also, moods which the lads were obviously in after the drugs. I'm curious to know how Shane comes to decide what songs to use in his films, does his team play back hundreds of songs for him to pick out? |

Yeah, although most of the songs in DMS aren't to my normal taste, I did assume that much of the soundtrack was composed for the film, especially the short instrumental bits, until I read otherwise.
It fits so well.

I think although Shane has a big part directing the film etc he uses someone else to find music for the soundtrack (correct me if im wrong) and probably just okays said tunes, But i totally agree all of the music is perfect....... particularly my favourite "smog-Vessel In Vain"

Although, if I recall correctly, because Dead Man's Shoes was on quite a tight, low budget and it was Warps Films first film.... the Warp Records catalogue was up for grabs for the soundtrack. Lots of Warp stuff was passed on to Shane that he was unfamiliar with, and he discovered that there was a great selection of music which was ideal for the film. I always recall a comment from interviews at the time (with both Shane and Mark Herbert the producer) that when they had Aphex Twin tracks passed on to them, they just presumed they knew what Aphex Twin sounded like, so they were very surprised to hear Mr Twin playing beautiful piano pieces. I'm still not sure if Shane knows even now, but the piano tracks on the album Druqks by Richard D James (Aphex Twin) are as electronically sequenced as the rest of his more obvious electronica. The piano pieces are apparently impossible to play conventionally due to them featuring note sequences and chords that are unreachable by regular two handed playing! ;D I'm pretty sure that's true! |

Those tunes by Aphex Twin are excellent, i discovered them through the film.
You should listen to the commentary, Shane talks about the music in detail i'm sure of it.

Fantastic OST. Managed to find that Leisure Society track, Monkey Hair Hide on this very site!
Thank you Shane Meadows and Nick Hemming.

Can anyone tell me where Gravenhurst's superb 'The Diver' is in DMS please? It is on the soundtrack but I seem to always miss it in the film, or was it edited out? Thanks for any help.

I know very short and sometimes distorted bits of some tracks were used in the drug sequence bit. Are there any hints of the track in that mash-up? Can't recall now. |
