Author Topic: Vanilla Sky soundtrack question Andy Muirhead Master Film Handler Posts: 323 From: Galashiels, Scotland Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-31-2002 08:30 PM                     Most of you will have seen Vanilla Sky by now (or at least some of it). IF YOU HAVEN'T AND WANT TO, DON'T READ ON - SPOILER! I liked it, but i loved the soundtrack. Do any of you know the artist and title of the track played while Tom Cruise and his Tech Support Guy were riding the elevator, while Tom was getting everything explained? Thanks!  |  IP: Logged James R.

Great band to see live. I saw them open for RADIOHEAD back in '98.  |  IP: Logged Arthur Allen Film Handler Posts: 99 From: Renton, WA, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 02-03-2002 12:35 PM                        The song at the start of the ride was "Doot Doot" by Freur. Even the rhythmic cricket chirps were part of the song, circa 1983. As soon as I heard the cricket sounds in the movie, I recognized the song.  |  IP: Logged James R.

I dont remember, but if there were, there was one song with spacey guitars and a guy singing "All I want in life is just a little love to take the pain away." That was tthe Spiritualized song.  |  IP: Logged Andy Muirhead Master Film Handler Posts: 323 From: Galashiels, Scotland Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-03-2002 07:40 PM                     Thanks James, as soon as i saw your post i downloaded the Spiritualized track you mentioned, and if i remember right, that track is used at some point on the end sequence. Digging further i found the track i was after was indeed Arthur's suggestion, 'Doot Doot' by Freur. Although there are a few tracks merging into each other, another one being 'Sigur Ros - The Nothing Song', that is one of the tracks being played on the rooftop scene. Typical that all the tunes i was looking for are missing from the soundtrack CD! I finally found all my info on Cameron Crowes website (i'm not sure if it is official or not) www.cameroncroweonline.com  |  IP: Logged Aldo Baez Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 02-05-2002 01:33 PM                    Yea it is Sigur Ross - The Nothing Song, and it is also known as Sigur Ross - Njosnavelin. The song has not been recorded yet, and Cameron had to ask Sigur for a live version. The version of the song in the movie is live, and after MUCH looking, I finally found the mp3 on the web. If anyone would like it give me an email.  |  IP: Logged
