Closing NoteOkay, closing this now because as I write this, all the music for the film is in the can! Some amazing references and ideas here, and I think you will find that we have definitely been inspired by your posts! I will be returning to this task for personal enjoyment for a long time too... DescriptionThis task comes from member Lord Fakenham: http://www.wreckamovie.com/user/show/1496 Thanks for the idea!
--- So, we need to talk more about music or a potential soundtrack or playlist. Of course, next to an original score (which I'm sure someone is already hard at work on, heavy with synths as it should be). A very cool and entertaining task to play around with is putting together a playlist or compilation of songs and music that could work out as some form of a soundtrack. Music that could help strengthen the atmosphere and overall feel of the production. Or songs that helps illustrate the zeigeist and feeling that really make the audience connect with the setting/story/plot. Yeah yeah, enough talk - so I made a playlist for Spotify!
For those of you who doesn't have access to Spotify, I'll transcribe the list below. But what sounds or tunes would YOU like to hear? Or what kind of music do you associate with the late 70s or early 80s that would be perfect to score a norwegian ninja movie? Let's spin some records! ;D

 Air WolfMy personal favorite movie score 'theme' : The Long Good Friday : A Fist Full of Dollars, A Few Dollars More,
One Long Good Friday ...
CommentsAh yes, this is a great score. It's also "trapped" in the era it was made (1980), so it's definitely a reference in terms of how the music is produced. We hope to achieve something with our score that could only come from the era of the movie. Cold War Macho Disco GreatnessOFF THE WALL : Just wondering if giants of Mucho Macho Disco/Pop like
Franek Kimono : Johnny Hallyday in a sanguine mood: CommentsSomehow I missed these when they were posted originally. Damn strange stuff?! Thanks for suggesting them.  Black DebbathIf there's a great Norwegian band that should definitely be asked to contribute a song to this production, it's Black Debbath. Combining a mock Black Sabbath sound and humouristic political statements, they are probably the ideal choice for this endeavour. CommentsThanks for the timely reminder. I love these guys...!

Bach for Computer BachelorsThis is some pretty cool stuff.. Computer music from 1979. 'Carlos Futura "Bach For Computer" 1979
Carlos Futura was a pseudonym for Klaus Netzle and Christian Bruhn (legendary German composer of themes from Capt. Future, Timm Thaler etc.)
PLUS the video is full of lovely photos to match the genre/setting! Ofcourse:
Enjoy! Have a great weekend! ;D 'Ham. CommentsThe score for the Shining is fantastic. Stuff like this - forbidding, abstract, and with a sparse arrangement, is definitely suited to up the weirdness factor for our film. In some scenes, it would be totally appropriate. Wendy Carlos also did "Switched On Bach" with Moog synths, another (and perhaps the original) Bach/"computer" mash-up?  vårsøg«Vårsøg» er eit dikt av Hans Hyldbakk skrive i januar 1945. Det blir rekna som Hyldbakks mest kjende dikt ved sidan av «E slåttatæja». Henning Sommerro skreiv som tenåring ein i dag svært kjend melodi til diktet. Hyldbakk skreiv diktet mot slutten av andre verdskrigen, og det heiter seg at «våren» i teksten er ein metafor for frigjeringa som i januar 1945 berre var nokre månader unna. Slik skal diktet vera ei hyllest til fred. I think this will illustrate the mood of the norwegian ninjas and commander treholt...in their endevaour for becoming one with nature and the search for both inner peace and world peace.
CommentsOh man. The Sigmund Groven version of this, used for the NRK night programming gives me SUCH goosebumps:
Perhaps this is for the end credits?
Music was like the style from the 60's or 70's I guess, I like it. Nice poem too and that kind of song could give a special and unic feeling to the movie., I absolutely love this song. Spring wont be sprung without it!
Dirty grooves from Jabba's PalaceHere are some selected tracks with CERRONE! from the late 70s/early 80s..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerrone Enjoy!
CommentsDisco! The bass playing is really cool on both of these.
NASTEA! A reason to do something set in the cold, cold war of the late 70s / early 80s - More groovesFunk and ninjas go well together Also some slightly cheesy monophonic stuff might blend well: And how about something like this: CommentsThanks for these, Antti! My immediate favorites were the weirder ones - the last two videos. The bottom one even has some sort of a weirdo ninja guy on the synth! Nice. The bleeps and bloops for the third one were very cool, over a "regular" acoustic drumset. What the hell is that music?!  moscow moscow ?i dont know if you like it but this is a old icelandic 80's
Commentsof course i can my dear lord here are a few good ones !!!!!! Vonbrigði
two thumbs up - but - please consider 80s music to be inferior to anything the original ninjas might have considered worthy
http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=722118 Cool trivia, there are alot of cool and interresting bands from Iceland in the 80s. Personally I think this song was kinda slow paced. But I know there used to be alot of punk bands in Reykjavik, like before the Sugarcubes and all that.. If you know any, can you name some? ;D it could be used as a opening song

A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!
heh thanks! and great story! funny you should mention childhood memories from the 80s - this found tape of kids singing and swearing just cracks me up! this is exactly the stuff I used to do..
no real musical value here, more like turning bad ass swearing into art!

haha great stuff! Funny and sad at the same time, that they had to write such a lengthy text to justify the making of ass-kicking synth tunes using "western" equipment and styles. Well I guess if they hadn't, it would have been high treason or something :-/
BTW this reminds me, in 1987 I visited Magdeburg in East-Germany with my dad. They had some spring cleberation fair going and on a stage, there was a breakdance-group performing to similar sounds! Of course, breakdance was quite outdated in West-Germany at that time so at first I thought something like "those poor easterners..." but I changed my mind quickly as those guys really rocked! And the music was quite funky too, nothing I had ever heard, and also since it was a public performance, it must have been of communist origin. Way to go guys - even if the commies are Arne Treholt's enemies, I have to give them that ;P
