"EYES WIDE OPEN AND DREAMING  5 Stars
November 01, 2000
Now celebrating nearly 20 years in the music business.Jocelyn Pook has travelled a long road since the days of sessions for Siouxsie & the Banshees.Together with other ex students from the Guildhall...Ann Stephenson and Audrey Riley they joined forces with singer songwriter Virginia Astley and had their names on the sleeve of "Melt the Snow":collectively the 4 of them were known as "Virginia Astley's Friends & Colleagues" and stayed with her until 1986. In the 90s Jocelyn was a co founder of the Electra Strings,with Sonia Slany,and eventually this was to lead to her Ist album "Deluge".She remained closeted in her own world of contemporary chamber music,her influences from many strains of classical music.This album contained "Blow the wind/Pie Jesu" which sampled the voice of Kathleen Ferrier and ended up on a TV commercial for Orange mobile phones. Among her many commissions came the one from Stanley Kubrick for the "Eyes Wide Shut" film:the 4 pieces acted as a trailer for her next album "Flood",which was more or less the "Deluge" one repackaged and with a few extended mixes. Jocelyn Pook and Sonia Slany have now gone their seperate ways but can be seen as the future of classical music The rest of the soundtrack album,apart from a couple of classical items,could best be described as "disposable".Only Jocelyn's music was commissioned,the rest is a case of "selected with a pin"

Ears wide open by Mr Mauro Aristides (Sao Paulo, Brazil)  4 Stars
August 10, 2000
Perhaps all the fouteen tracks od Stanley Kubrick's last motion picture album have been cherry picked by himself. It contains hailed classical titles like Dimitri Shostakovich's "Waltz 2 From Jazz Suite" or "If I Had You" by Roy Gerson, as well as cheap and easy-to-listen-to songs like "Baby Did a Very Bad Thing" by Chris Isaak or "Strangers in the Night" performed by The Peter Hughes Orchestra. Jocelyn Pook is the author of four tracks. When you listen to them while watching the movie, they are pure bliss-out, making sense of Tom Cruise's sexual reverie. Listening to the CD alone, however, the music somehow loses the thread. Her songs are too posh and intellectual to listen to at home or in the car. Perhaps the album would have been better off with only one or two of her titles. Still, "Eyes Wide Shut" is a pretty enjoyable demonstration that such different artists may be put together side by side. Although it may sound, and perhaps is, a larding of styles, the choice makes perfect sense, especially for the target public: those who developed a total crush on Kubrick's dazzling farewell movie.

Various Artists - Soundtracks (Composer)
The late director Stanley Kubrick's masterful pairing of image, song, and symphony has forever imbued an impossibly eclectic body of music with indelible psychic connotations that range from cosmic grandeur (2001's Also Sprach Zarathustra and "The Blue Danube") to cynical irony (A Clockwork Orange's use of Beethoven, Rossini, and Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain"; Vera Lynn's warbling "We'll Meet Again" over Dr. Strangelove's climactic vision of apocalypse) and outright left-field loopiness...

| Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange (1971 Film)

Stanley Kubrick's demanding perfectionism in all aspects of the filmmaking process has led to some of the most memorable soundtracks of the modern era. Kubrick's taste for the classics led to his scrapping Alex North's original score for 2001: A Space Odyssey in lieu of the "temporary" tracks he had used for editing, turning Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra into an unlikely 20th-century pop icon. For his 1971 adaptation of Anthony Burgess's cautionary future-shocker, Kubrick once again...

Stanley Kubrick’s daring last film is a bracing psychosexual journey, a riveting suspense tale and a career milestone for stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Cruise plays a doctor who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage – and may ensnare him in a murder mystery – after his wife’s (Kidman) admission of sexual longings. As the story sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconciliation, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes. Graceful tracking...
