Raspbernie Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hollywood Records and Marvel are set to release Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" Soundtrack on July 29, 2014. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY SOUNDTRACK Music plays a major role in "Guardians of the Galaxy" as the 1970s songs featured in the film are part of the storyline in a unique way. Explaining how the songs come to play in the story, director James Gunn says, "One of the main story points in the movie is that Quill has this compilation tape [Awesome Mix Vol. 1] that he got from his mother before she died that she made for him. It was of songs that she loved, all songs from the 1970s, and that's the only thing he has left of his mother and that's the only thing he has left of his home on Earth. He uses that as a connection to his past and to the sadness that he feels of having left all that and lost all that." Gunn also asked composer Tyler Bates to complete some of the tracks for the movie before the start of principal photography so he could play them on set. "The score is also very important," says Gunn. "I worked very hard early on with Tyler Bates, our composer, whom I've done three other movies with, to write part of the score ahead of time so that I'm able to use it on set for big emotional sequences and big action sequences. We can actually play the music on set and the actors can really understand where we're going with it tonally. Our actors have a much better idea of what this film is because of the music that we use, both score and soundtrack." "Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol. 1" track list: 1. "Hooked on a Feeling" Performed by Blue Swede 2. "Go All the Way" Performed by Raspberries 3. "Spirit in the Sky" Performed by Norman Greenbaum 4. "Moonage Daydream" Performed by David Bowie 5. "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" Performed by Elvin Bishop 6. "I'm Not in Love" Performed by 10cc 7. "I Want You Back" Performed by Jackson 5 8. "Come and Get Your Love" Performed by Redbone 9. "Cherry Bomb" Performed by The Runaways 10. "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" Performed by Rupert Holmes 11. "O-O-H Child" Performed by The Five Stairsteps 12.

MikeC Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's great about the way the director cared to let the actors hear the music first. That helps with the effect they want to portray on the screen. And the fans are still there, so why not let it roll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Carmen Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 In addition to licensing the song for the film and soundtrack album, they just licensed "GATW" to be the music played on the DVD when the "Special Features" are offered.

paperdoll82 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Eric sounds FANFREAKINGTASTIC on those big speakers! And the movie is pretty darned good, too. Laughed a lot. Chair danced a lot. And squealed when I saw Eric's credit. Definitely a great day of bonding with my Marvel-obsessed girl. Cheryl 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! If this keeps up, more copies of GATW can sell this summer than over the past 40 years combined! Bernie 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liseli Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 The silver screen for the sound ambiance? I'd wonder about the mix, except that I know the songs are so strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
