Ravenous OST - Boyd's Journey

Michael Nyman & Damon Albarn

[@-scorpionox-]

I've shown this movie to all of my friends and family over the years but nobody has the same level of appreciation for it like I do.

[@andrewrobertson3894]

I can relate to that.

[@tomdadada]

Me too (not the movement - i meant the movie!) !

[@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167]

So you got new friends and family now yea bro?

[@ShaithMaster]

You and I both brother. Its unfortunate. It was supposed to have taken place right here in beautiful Northern California.

[@theblackrider01010]

HE WAS LICKING MEEEEEE

[@giallomadman]

It physically churns my insides, when I think of how criminally underrated this movie is.

[@fernandopenalva2680]

I saw it last saturday. a CULT movie.

[@fordcitysales]

Ezakia Bates live this, I cry to the song, first time I seen this flick I was drunk ad high off weed

[@pappy451]

an epically great film . and this song is , just , . . .

[@MARIUS2776]

Pappy it is and it knows it even the trumpet at the end is amazing 😉

[@liamr6672]

The final act goes off the rails a bit, but I watched this 100 times in my younger days.

[@TheGuylanda128]

I spent so many hours walking Minnesota trails and doing my college reading listening to this soundtrack. I used to have the whole thing on CD. I miss it so much. It's good to see Atun-Shei giving this movie lots of love though.

[@jameslassig5198]

Must have had a good time on the Trails then.

[@ShaithMaster]

I've spent many times running on trails in Northern California which is where they were and I've listened to this many times while taking a run and it brings a tear to my eye every time..

[@samuelruakere7728]

Hear hear.

[@jarkkolouhe11]

Fargo is one of my favorite movies/tv-shows all time, you lucky you live in Minnesota.Greetings from Finland, we have as bad winter as you guys have :)

[@SStupendous]

​@@jarkkolouhe11Fargo is set in North Dakota, I think filmed in MN. Thanks for showing us love!

[@saveusmilkboy]

Between broken optimism and the stubborn tread onwards. One of the greatest tunes ever put to one of the most tragically underappreciated movies ever made.

[@haurenox7686]

A totally unknown and underrated masterpiece. If you haven't watched this movie, stop whatever you're doing and watch it now.

[@TANKTREAD]

I am a HUGE collector of film scores, been collecting since around 1989. I have at least over 5,000 on CD, over 100 on cassette and over 50 vinyl. I remember buying this score, since I buy by composer. At the time I was familiar with Michael Nyman, but not with Damon Albarn. The score was so odd and I thought it was strange. Somehow this score just grew on me and now I love listening to it and will always have a playlist on my iPod. Such an underrated score and equally underrated film.

[@jedidiahmayes7167]

I have a usb mp3 player with this on it

[@ericthegeneric1611]

​@@jedidiahmayes7167hahaha you a funny guy. I also have it on a mp3 player from 2012

[@Crazyman1212]

such an underrated movie

[@Johneladjmi76]

Since I saw this movie I can't get over it. The best movie of my life.

[@legendarygoji1999]

T Sanchez There is something about this movie that I can't get enough of. This soundtrack also sounds like the ending theme,which plays when Boyd returns to the camp with a broken leg and after jumping off the cliff.

[@SilvieFicova]

the real person that inspired the novel was Alfred Packer - more about him here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqLNaH-nhrChrdE

[@t33d33]

same here and I can't explain it, this movie stayed with me since I watched it

[@benpettifer137]

A chilling and dark piece of music that reflects the plot of this greatly underrated film.

[@kendrom]

This music is amazing. The beat is ominous and steady. The first notes strike six times, and the second, seven. This repeats throughout the piece. The first part sounds twisted and ominous, until the accordion comes in. It plays a melody that is a cross between a marching theme, and a somber feeling. But the best part of the whole thing is that the two parts don’t really fit, until they do…and when they do, they fit beautifully, and sound like a song you’ve never heard before. I’ve been haunted by this piece since the day I first watched the movie many years ago. It reminds me of life…hundreds of steady, individual pieces going on, that every once in a while, combine to make a beautiful sound, purely by coincidence.

[@andliar]

When I first heard the ominous part I was expecting the beat will start. Maybe you know os someone who use it like sample?

[@somnam1386]

One of the best movie themes.

[@BackyardPix]

This movie is so damn good. I really don't get why some call the music unfitting and stuff, personally I love brutal movies with beautiful soundtracks.

[@Los_Morelos]

I think how it was unfitting made it add to the madness cuz this movie was insane.

[@jxcream]

+EuroTrasho Productions It is unfitting, it's completely unfitting. You'd have to be on a completely otherworldly drug trip to think this music fits the horror genre. At first i hated it, it broke the immersion and left me say there wondering what the fuck this kind of happy song was doing accompanying a dude trudging through the snow with a broken leg after a psycho just killed and ate all his friends. Now i just see it as part of that quirky, crazy movie that i just can't get enough of.

[@BackyardPix]

jxcream Well, it is a horror comedy. And, I dunno about you, but I'm a huge fan of italian exploitation films, and most of those feature "happy" music. The Last House on the Left, another one of my all time favorites, also uses unexpected music choices. I don't find it unfitting at all.

[@citizenx293]

+jxcream This was a horror movie??? I thought it was a film about fine dining on the frontier.

[@jxcream]

I guess that's a matter of perspective.

[@elegit3603]

One of the best movies of all time

[@johnmccarron7066]

I love the way Hail, Columbia sores at the end of this song, especially in comparison to how it's used elsewhere in the film. As opposed to an off-kilter mockery, it's almost more like a reminder of the way things should be instead of how they are. It's appropriate that the most triumphant version of it on the soundtrack is attached to Boyd's theme (as opposed to the other officers presented in the film).

[@teddyhose]

Heard this song in a PSA on seat belt safety in Brooklyn like 10 years ago, and had to write to them to ask what it was. So simple and so powerful.

[@Horatio787]

That's a wild fucking story.

[@marccru]

You must find a copy of that PSA!

[@dewchamp5716]

Damon. Albarn. Is. A. Freaking. Proper. Genius.

Me too haha ...me too.

[@MARIUS2776]

[@meatrampage]

the abnormal timing of this fine tune only digs itself deeper into my mind

[@southpawYT]

the banjo really keeps you on your toes while listening.

[@probate2000]

This song must be played repeatedly throughout my funeral......

[@Bob_In_Thailand]

Good choice.

[@fordcitysales]

[@FoodRecipes108]

And you come out as one of the cannibal

[@gobsauce84]

I feel the same way

[@maite8705]

I think is funny in someway..

[@lionelhutz5137]

This movie brings up themes of greed, gluttony, and excess, I also liked how they tied morality and aggressive expansionist ideology into the story as well. Definitely one of my top 5 favourites.

[@GOJIRA_2000]

Lionel Hutz This movie makes me question *LIFE*

[@southpawYT]

it's Manifest Destiny manifested. the fucked up experiment the ole US of A is and always has been. genius movie, genius soundtrack.

[@guypierson5754]

the main theme of the film is Manifest Destiny, how it destroys all its way.

[@my3rs307]

I think it's also about the circle of cannibalism and violence

[@chrisking3072]

A differnt breed of film, truly unique

[@vladophn8791]

Bon appetit

[@pipebomber04]

Hearing this makes me want to run away from caves.

[@anonony9081]

This song is a perfect representation of the movie. A nice, folksy melody on top lulling you into a false sense of security while an off-key, unpredictable plinking sound slowly makes you more and more uneasy. You know something is wrong but you can't put your finger on it.

[@BoldenFMA]

The most underrated horror film of the last 30 years.

[@archibaldcreep1]

Still my favorite soundtrack, I must have been 12 when I saw this movie in theaters and not a year goes by without thinking of this tune. Perfectly haunting and beautiful.

[@mandarb23]

I remember the first time watching this movie. I was 17 in 2000. I was suffering to watch something. This had just started. At the end of it my heart pounding. Wondering how this movie wasn't the most talked about movie in that time. Watching these new things on wendingos. No a real one just a man who wants to eat you for power! Yeah, bring on the deer skull guy. A mad man is way more scary!

[@katie2275]

My mum used to play this all the time because she mostly listens to movie soundtracks and it creeped the fuck out of me

[@Shell0517nj]

Bon Appetitt! This movie was totally underated. Guy Pearce was hot with his long hair and love soundtrack especially this song.

[@MARIUS2776]

I’m commenting just so people know this film is worth its weight in gold and is still relevant.

[@lahuzer]

Masterpiece. Just like the rest of the soundtrack and movie. But this one stands alittle taller then the other songs.

[@TheAffenkotze]

Yes, this is a masterpiece indeed.

[@tyreesewithers]

Prob/def one of the best ever made

[@jameslassig5198]

no doubts on that

[@patrickmohan2220]

A little masterpiece, and reminds me of the very best of The Pogues and the late 90's. A lifetime ago

[@kittensquack6695]

Shane MacGowan and the Pogues rule, sugar. Been listening to them since 1987. That is funny tho! Could totally imagine this being scored by Shane.

[@nuhaafuentes8296]

This song creeps me the fuck out. The intro is so haunting and unsettling. Despite that it was such a good movie!! It leaves me wondering whether if stuck in the same situation if I’d ever partake in canabalism to survive. The plot twist was amazing.

[@Human_Dynamo]

What an incredible track for an incredible film. The song is both uplifting and terrifying. Quite a feat!

[@CanadiaNecro1]

I love playing this on my keyboard! It took FOR EVER to get the timing right with those banjo plucks.

[@lairbear6992]

I remember special ordering the sountrack to this from one of those long gone hastings stores back in 7th grade, I liked the pump organ piano sounding music bits, it reminded me of my grandpa who played an old pump organ piano.

[@INoticed_XIV]

Thank you Atun Shei Films

[@evil666son]

I still remember everyone leaving the theatre! 🤣 The proof of a true masterpiece! Both movie and soundtrack!

[@TMJ112389]

Randomly found this movie on netflix...and it was awesome.

[@malachizarathustra7301]

About 7 years ago I was a family man, unpacking groceries with this song on loop. Soon I would throw it all away with my own hands. In hindsight, this track perfect fits my zombie-like march into the abyss.

[@travissnell8678]

Greatest goddamn soundtrack ever!

[@my3rs307]

Watched the movie last night, overall, liked it, and the ost was the best thing about it, or one of!!!

[@jabradococonutfrosting9513]

This theme is actually beautiful and the defintion of perfection (in my opinion). I just finished watching it and I can't stop thinking about it! Wish this film got more love and appreciation.

[@goji3755]

I just watched this movie for the first time, and I already knew going into it that it was going to be some kind of horror comedy, but even so the music seemed awkward and out of place towards the beginning of the film. It sounded awful and I regarded it as absolute cacophony. At first. Then as the film progressed I started to get into the movie's... ah, tone isn't quite the right word, it's more like... personality. I was really getting into the film's personality and liking it. Even the music, the very same music from the beginning, sounded appropriate. My perception of the score had gone from mindless noise to a sort of charismatic brilliance. I guess that describes the entire film in a nutshell. You may go into it unsure if you're going to like it, it might even put you off at the start, but it pulls you in and wins you over by the end. Just like Col. Ives The movie is Col. Ives. The viewer is Capt. Boyd. Will you give in to its demented charm, or will you continue to loathe it to the very end?

[@drawboy6x3]

This is one of the most astute movie reviews I've ever read.

[@jxcream]

+goji3755 That was exactly how i felt, at first it broke the immersion but after a while it was just part of the package.

[@swantonic5574]

same thing happened to me.

[@greenz190]

Outstandingly accurate

[@MARIUS2776]

Articulate and well put I felt the underlying self loathing in the film pinned against brazen gluttony and debauchery the lunatic wit and clever writing made this film one of my top ten rare finds. The music still haunts me in hallucinations when I wake in the morning sometimes. But it’s a tune when I hear it makes me smile. The sort of I know something fantastic you don’t. I can’t believe this film only grossed 2 million dollars and was considered trash by so many critics over the trailer being a tad misleading

[@pantagruel1066]

This song is a perfect analogy for going into nature and staying there. Love this one.

[@PrincessZelda_is_My_Side_Chick]

Such an underrated, underappreciated 90s film that totally flew under the radar... Complete masterpiece from start to finish. One of my favorite hidden gems to rewatch every once in a while. I actually saw this in theater when it released. Along with the other 90s hidden gem, Event Horizon. Both totally solid films that never got the credit they deserved.

@Anon Anon yes it's criminally underrated. I just can't emphasize how much I enjoy this film.

[@valkir293]

Honestly this film reminds me of Danny Boyle's film Sunshine, in the sense while watching it I had absolutely no idea what was gonna happen next. I remember being gripped to the screen when this came out.

[@ADHDPisa]

I am Alberto stanghellini from Lucca, Italy, after I watched this movie on vhs , many years ago, I bought the soundtrack on Ebay uk, I like it and mostly he music.

[@rudismith1975]

The soundtrack is pure genius....i can smell the hardship, the beaver skins hanging to dry, mouldy potatoes, gangrene, pipe tobacco, sweat, tripe and cabbage cooking hahaha

[@rudismith1975]

@Anon Anon The best thing about this score is that they only used instruments from that era, 1846-1848, America Mexican war. Its brilliant. I cannot praise this score enough

[@SuperODST1]

I still need to track down this movie and watch it in full. This theme is so good! I listened to the full version of hail columbia on the soundtrack they have, and that's much more strained than the pretty earnest tone in this version. Definitely a thematic connection there.
