Howdy and welcome to my store! Very limited and already out of print on vinyl!
Tindersticks have had a long and fruitful relationship with French filmmaker Claire Denis. The group's first soundtrack for Denis, Nenette Et Boni (1996), was also their third album, following two eponymous and now legendary Tindersticks full-lengths in the early 90s. Five more soundtracks have followed, marking one of the more fertile, consistent and resonant relationships between a director and a group of musicians in contemporary cinema. This box gathers all six of the Claire Denis soundtracks , four of which are previously unreleased. It is a subtle, beautiful body of work and an integral part of the Tindersticks oeuvre. Each LP is housed in an uncoated cardstock duotone-print sleeve with silver spot ink, inserted into a foil-embossed double-wall slip box with custom die-cut window, hand-made from 550gsm/25pt all-black brushed-finish uncoated board. All using 100% recycled papers. Includes a 64-page perfect-bound booklet with 30 pages of colour film stills and an essay by Michael Hill (in English and translated to French). 5X180gLP edition includes two posters – vinyl set limited to 1000 copies. LPs pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal (Germany).
“The history of cinema has been replete with successful partnerships between director and composer: Hitchcock and Herrmann; Spielberg and Williams, Lynch and Badalamenti. There’s even a Wikipedia page devoted to such collaborations. Yet one fellowship overlooked by the Wiki league is that between fearless French cinematic impressionist Denis and her loyal band of care-worn Nottingham craftsmen. Since a chance meeting in Paris in 1995 Tindersticks have been at Denis’ service, writing close-miked chamber soundtracks of rain-pattered mystery and soft-voiced melancholy. Collected together, the fear might have been that the Tindersticks sound would be found wanting. Yet from 1996’s Nenette et Boni to 2009’s White Material here is a sound in evolution, yet always pulsing with the same intimate warmth as Denis’ films.” MOJO – 5/5 STARS “Fine work lies within. Staples’ score for 2004’s L’Intrus builds tension with jazzy percussion and metallic echo-soaked guitar, while 2009’s White Material is sombre and stately, all droning accordians and wandering flute.” UNCUT – 4/5 STARS “The score for L’Intrus is a repeated loop of clattering percussion, plucked guitar and wailing trumpet. This seductive musical fragment complements the movie’s dream of a paradise that beckons and remains as elusive as a mirage” “The ominously beautiful title song by Tindersticks ['Trouble Every Day'] establishes a tone of solemn lyricism…” NEW YORK TIMES Record Condition: This record is brand new and unplayed!
