Blood Meridian

Soundtrack from the film Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent directed by Christopher Hampton, with Bob Hoskins, Patricia Arquette, Gerard Depardieu, Jim Broadbent and Christian Bale.
Released in 1996, Philip Glass's score performed by the English Chamber Orchestra captures the moody desolation of nineteenth century London and the madness and desolation that is at the center of Conrad's novel.

Reissued from the soundtrack's original Nonesuch release, this typically excellent Philip Glass score accompanies the 1996 Christopher Hampton film The Secret Agent. Christopher Hampton, the film's director and screenwriter, is also known for his stage and screen versions of "Dangerous Liasons" and more recently for his screenplay to the award-winning "Atonement." Hampton and Glass later worked together when the composer asked the writer to create a libretto from J.M Coetzee's novel "Waiting for the Barbarians" in 2005. Hampton again wrote a libretto Glass' 2007 opera "Appomattox"about the meeting of Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse at the end of the American Civil War."

“Shake Your Soul” is an outstanding effort by a band that should have been at the top of its class. The band originally formed in Louisiana as Voices in 1986 and consisted of Kelly Keeling (guitar and keyboard), Lance Bulen (vocals), Keith Harrison (bass) and Harold Knappenburger (drums). They changed their name to Cheetah, later to Meridian and finally Baton Rouge, the group relocated to Los Angeles in 1987 and revamped their line up. Their debut album, “Shake Your Soul” debuted in 1990, reaching only the 160th place on the Billboard charts at a time when media attention to the style had already begun to decline dramatically.
