blessingx Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 I have very little John Adams around and after watching I AM LOVE with a JA soundtrack I want more. Any suggestions on where to start to explore?

The Monkey Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 the reason you didnt get into it is because it sucked and continues to suck.
blessingx Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Posted March 4, 2010 But the New Yorker said he "may be the most vital and eloquent composer in America!
blessingx Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Posted March 4, 2010 And if you want to get a glance of the use of his music in I AM LOVE (which hopefully will get a US release)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUXEAhJb_
Voltron Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 But Monkey was assuming you meant the stupid HBO John Adams program with really did suck. If you are talking about the composer, then I don't think that is what Monkey was claiming sucked so bad.
blessingx Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Posted March 4, 2010 I enjoyed it too, and all things considered summarized decently McCulloughs book. Giamatti may have been too tall though. Now why does this photo of the composer show up so high in a Google search?
jinp6301 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 i couldn't get past the cheesy clock strikes. no idea if that was actually in the soundtrack or not, but blleeechacachacch. Not in the soundtrack, the youtube above that one has the same song but without the extra shit
