Milan presents a marvellous reissue of Jim Jarmusch’s classic The Mystery Train soundtrack album, designed by Jack & Laurent Durieux!
Who can’t remember Mystery Train, Jim Jarmusch’s cult one from 1989, awarded at Cannes Festival? Probably the most emblematic film by New Yorker independent filmmaker, starring Steve Buscemi, Joe Strummer, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Cinqué Lee, and Masatoshi Nagase and Yūki Kudō, the young Japanese couple wandering through Memphis – the city of the King – who give the story its setting.
The soundtrack of this triptych is simply cult! The quartet set up by John Lurie (guitar, harmonica), Marc Ribot (guitar, banjo), Tony Garnier (bass) and Douglas Bowne (drums) elaborate a nocturnal and contemplative rhythm & blues, as fascinating as hypnotic!
And of course, rock & roll and soul songs by Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Otis Redding and The Bar-Kays – among others –, open the album…
