暴力啓示錄

專輯介紹

影片中與科技相伴隨的不僅是疏離，還有暴力。馬克斯用他的電腦製作暴力電影，而加布里爾·拜恩扮演的科學家雷被迫操縱着一套奧威爾式的監視系統，政府特工靠它可以希望可以如願地消滅敵人。新的通信技術與其説是我們“疏離的現狀”的象徵，更是它的實際根源文德斯的這部作品有着針對加利福尼亞娛樂業的用心，影片展現了人類文化中暴力成分給予人的情感衝擊。許多著名演員都有分參與這部作品，文德斯的音樂品位已經無須懷疑，而Ry Cooder又一次為文德斯製作了電影配樂。之前的作品還有《德州，巴黎》、《樂滿哈瓦那》等

Over the past two decades, guitarist and preservationist Ry Cooder has quietly forged one of the most consistently compelling musical careers in film. His 1997 music for director Wim Wenders's uneven exercise in Hollywood metaphor-mongering begins with typically (dare we say it) Cooder-esque exercises in spacious, loping bottleneck electric guitar over subtle, ominous electronic effects, then interweaves cool jazz and even hip-hop influences into one of the musician's most subtle, satisfying efforts yet (featuring the talents of mixer Howie B., accordionist Flaco Jimenez, trumpeter Jon Hassell, drummer Jim Keltner, tenor sax player Gil Bernal, guitarist James "Blood" Ulmer, and son Joachim Cooder on percussion). As is so often the case with Cooder's work, it's a score to savor when the film has faded from memory. --Jerry McCulley
