Labyrinth (soundtrack) [VINYL]

Product Information

Digitally remastered edition of the Bowie-anchored 1986 soundtrack that's been out of print on vinyl for years. Written by David Bowie and Trevor Jones (who has done soundtracks for The Dark Crystal, Cliffhanger, and Dark City). The triumphant, shuffling Latin-jam “Exultation” leans on more scintillating vocals from Winstone, and a chunky counter melody from the rhythm section.

The title track is airy and delicate, with his tender, spoke-sung vocals drifting over a gentle piano.

According to the LP’s original sleeve notes, the bass clarinet represents the tragic element, the trumpet represents the heroic element and the voice represents the human element. In addition to acting in the film, the late musical legend wrote five original songs for the soundtrack, including the iconic "Magic Dance. The rest of the musicians represent the two societies of Athens and Crete and their comments on the story as it unfolds.Labyrinth celebrated its 30th anniversary last year and the film and soundtrack have only grown in popularity since its release on June 27, 1986.

The album soon finds its rhythm as it alights on the spell-binding and groove-friendly “Bull-Dance”, showing off the best Nucleus has to offer: subtle trumpet melodies, compelling rhythms, a psych-rock vibe and tight soloing. Elsewhere 'Paris 2' is a little fuller, with downtempo percussion and busier piano chords and 'The Girl with the Moog in Her Hair' has great retro synths for a subtle cosmic outing.

A really blast back to my childhood from this genius A truly masterful piece of pop mixed with a classical score - Bowie delights as always. Teasing strands of atmospheric bass clarinet introduce the first theme before swiftly fading out with a startling blast of staccato fanfares and big drums. And of course there’s Norma Winstone’s stunning wordless vocals, that also take the lead in the next track “Ariadne”, a spacey-jazz song with beautiful piano, flute and clarinet, and the only recognisable lyrics on the album. The Maze' comes as a Tomas Nordmark Labyrinth Rework with swirling pads making for a churchy vibe as the voice of Johanson hangs poignantly in the air above.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Labyrinth is the 1986 Jim Henson classic that starred David Bowie as the flamboyant and powerful Jareth, the Goblin King.David Bowie's music is typical for his mid 1980s style, though perhaps because I've heard these tracks so many times that I find them this catchy. Labyrinth is presented as a suite, based on the ancient Greek legend of the Minotaur with musical instruments representing the various elements of the mythology. My association with the music and this soundtrack makes it a bit difficult to evaluate this album, given how strong my nostalgia is for this film.
