My Most Influential Albums #11
EVITA (movie soundtrack) – ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER & TIM RICE, ft. MADONNA
For my #11 of 12 most influential albums I’m going with the Evita soundtrack, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice with the Madonna performances. I knew Webber & Rice’s music before this movie/album, but particularly my obsession with baselines and orchestration and creative application to music attached to film/acting/pop.
Also, don’t hate me- but I didn’t fully appreciate Madonna or begin to understand her work until she did this project. Then I dug into her music. The mixing of genres and personalities, the mash up of energy and types of sound articulations – to me – makes this amazing in the final product. Much the way I do my life. I like a solid mix of all that is different. Makes the best colors.
