Catching Point : Though many of the artists are mainly known, but they hold a unique scheme of music here in the album that bring us straight to the movie itself. Roundaway in New York, living urban and just being grown-up girls. Lovely, fun, calming, breezing. All in one album. And they're announcing SATC movie sequel real soon  ;)

Where The Wild Things Are [OST]

It's : a Soundtrack
Genre :
Alternative

When : 2009 
Who : Karen O & The Kids


Catching Point : "Where The Wild Things Are" is a movie based on a famous classic children story by Maurice Sendak. It was about an imaginary world made f loneliness. A world Max created and which his about to conquer. The journey to find where love truly is. So there was anger and sadness. also lots of fun join together. Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs put up all the sound to make this soundtrack such a crunchy one. With the chanted and heavy song "Capsize" consisting of ritual clapping a howled vocals. And the slow, somewhat depressing track "Hideaway", Swapping back to the upbeat songs the soundtrack jumps too "Heads Up", a song just as happy and joyous as "All Is Love", or its reprise "Building All Is Love". This soundtrack, nearly a standalone album, is definitely a rollercoaster of emotion and excellent sounds. Get this one out and flow with Max's journey..

(500) Days of Summer [OST]

It's : a Soundtrack 
Genre : Various
When : 2009

Who : Michael Danna & Rob Simonsen; Regina Spektor; The Smiths; Black Lips; Doves; Hall & Oates; The Temper Trap; Carla Bruni; Feist; Simon & Garfunkel; Wolfmother; Mumm-Ra; Meaghan Smith; She & Him
 

Catching Point : The Movie is more like a pseudo "love stories" that aren't really love stories at all. And the music nicely represent the atmosfer. There are so many good musics in this album. Most of them swim in indiepop area, but some raise an alternative. Almost each of 'em are unique and hold a visceral emotions. Finding middle ground between uber-indie pretension and sing-a-long pop epiphanies the soundtrack has a little bit here for everyone and never drowns in its own self importance. The movie itself carries some music that are not included in the album such as The Pixies - Here Comes Your Man (sang by Thomas in the karaoke bar scene). But overall it's a must have album for you who is fallin to indie, whether you watch the movie or not :)

Amelie [OST]

It's : a Soundtrack
Genre :
Classic/Instrument/Pop/French

When :  2001
Who :
Yann Tiersen; Michael Nyman


Catching Point : Released as Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain in France, director Jean-Pierre Jeunet chanced upon the largely accordion and piano driven music of Yann Tiersen while driving with his production assistant who put on a CD he hadn't heard before. Greatly impressed, he immediately bought Tiersen's entire catalogue and eventually commissioned him to compose pieces for the film,then he is also primarily considering composer Michael Nyman to score the film. Amelie is a likeable girl who develops an ambition to help others. The question is whether she is willing to face her own problems. The music of the soundtrack does much to enhance the movie, the mood moving on a spectrum between melancholy and carefree, but even the sadder emotions are tinged with a kind of Gallic acceptance, "C'est La Vie!". In the end, both The Movie & The Soundtrack are illuminating mix of magic and pragmatism.

Into The Wild [OST]

It's : a Soundtrack
Genre :
Indie-folk/Indie-rock

When : 2007
Who :
Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam's Lead Vocal)


Catching Point : The movie based on a true story about a disillusioned twenty-something named Christopher McCandless dropped out of society, hitched cross-country and perished in the Alaskan wilderness. Basically tells about free-spirit. Being free from all that boundaries, that buildings and rules under something called society. so the music tells about the same. Eddie speaks about being indie, tossing his weighty baritone onto earthy, folky tracks that temper the romance of absolute freedom with an eerie foreboding. Sometimes it all so gloomy but also very honest. "Into the Wild" is where this album gonna take us to. And Eddie Vedder is...well, Eddie Vedder :)

Yes Man [OST]

It's : a Soundtrack
Genre :
Electronic/Indiepop

When : 2008
Who:
Eels; Munchausen by Proxy


Catching Point : The Movie itself tells about being social, do whatever you want, stop being afraid and start having fun. Free-spirited young girl & a denial man, that's Yes Man. The album, however, contain 9 tracks by Eels & 4 tracks by a fictional 80's-homage-esque band called Munchausen by Proxy, who feature in the film, with Zooey Deschanel as a lead while the rest of the band is comprised by real-life synth-pop group Von Iva. All musical scene in this album performed by Munchausen by Proxy, who spare a dirty electronic, "talk-singing" like ambiance. And Eels wrap it nicely with their unique classical indie.
