listening to a movie soundtrack on vinyl is so sick because all of the intentionality of putting a record on, playing it, flipping it, etc. in tandem with the intentional composition of a movie soundtrack for certain scenes and the arc of the film in general makes you feel like you're in a movie for the run of the record. my personal favorites:
- shaft (isaac hayes, 1971)
- superfly (curtis mayfield, 1972)
- the social network (trent reznor + atticus ross, 2010 โ they also did the challengers soundtrack!)
bonus: if your life is a movie (fr) i think getting past the "poser" anxiety and just buying your favorite albums on vinyl and listening to them as the soundtrack for your life brings the same vibe. for me:
- time traveler + wagenmuzik (gum.mp3)
- room 25 + telefone (noname)
- ctrl (sza)
- starboy (the weeknd)
- the misseducation of lauryn hill (lauryn hill)
- what's goin' on (marvin gaye)
- channel orange (frank ocean)
...among others
bonus bonus: jazz. miles davis, duke ellington, stevie wonder, sun ra, pick your poison
