"Start" class??
editI would say it is above a start class music album article no? Discussion? ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 19:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- To reach "C" class, the article needs the following:
- A track listing containing track lengths and authors for all songs
- A "personnel" section listing performers, including guest musicians.
- Some of that information is available here, although it doesn't break down the bands by name. Composer information can be found by clicking the links at the overview to the individual songs. For example, "New Dawn Fades". --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Those two criteria are in there already... ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 00:57, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oh do you mean like sticking say "Bono; The Edge; Brian Eno" in under the Passengers track in the "Track Listing" section? ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 01:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- With respect to the track listing, yes, it needs composer information. Since much of this will be redundant, you might handle it by putting a general note at the top, something along the lines of Except where otherwise noted, all tracks composed by Elliot Goldenthal. Then you specify where they are not. As far as the personnel section, there's a section called "crew" (not personnel), but it's missing many musicians. It doesn't include Moby, for instance. It doesn't include Bjorn Kjellemyr, who contributed bass, or Audun Klieve, who played drums. That information needs to be included, too. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:07, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- OK just added better personnel section and will add to the track listing later, have to go out for a while. :) thanks for the help. ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 14:49, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- UPDATE. Hey, i just found a track list template that will do all the work needed and will use that instead. ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 19:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Nicely done! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Moby and Time Travel
editI don't think Moby's version of "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" used in Heat, a movie made released in 1995, could be "from his 1997 album", but I'm too lazy to edit this right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ergonaut2001 (talk • contribs) 00:02, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- No no, its simply means that the particular mix of that track released in 1997 on the I like to score album was not available on any other release until that album came out...understand? So dont go making erroneous edits thanks... ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 18:34, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Godspeed You Black Emperor in soundtrack? (And links to Tangerine Dream?)
editI ask about Godspeed You Black Emperor because I thought I heard them. A stately wideband crescendo from the recording Lift Up Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven, heard in the last quarter of the movie somewhere... I'd have kept the thought to myself if I hadn't seen a possible precedent for this. In 28 Days Later they appear in the movie's sound, but not the soundtrack release, but there is a lengthy YouTube comments page discussing their desire not to be credited or to appear beyond the scope of the movie's sound. If that isn't the only case, their music might similarly have appeared in Heat but not been credited let alone transferred to a soundtrack release. Does anyone else have any thoughts about this? Some time (if I remember to do it) I will make time to isolate the exact sections, times and durations of each occurrence, and if I wasn't misled somehow I'll edit this to add details.
(Unrelated, but also interesting to me, is the intensely similar character of Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to another Michael Mann film, Thief. While Heat's score's character is described as 'European', I'm surprised that no-one seems to have cited Tangerine Dream directly. I can't help thinking that this is a case of 'credit where credit is due', and that if TD had still been making the same kind of music at the time, Michael Mann might have used them again. I recall that Friedkin was so impressed with them that he edited Sorceror to fit the soundtrack! Not many movie directors would ever do that.)

| The lead of this article, in additional to being problematic with regards to neutrality ("ethereal and at times shattering"?), does not conform to WP:LEAD in presentation or to the requirements for information to be included in a lead section at Wikipedia:ALBUM#Article_body. The press section includes quotes out of context. To improve readability necessary to obtain a B, these should be presented in a body of text that adds context to them. The article does not name all musicians--for instance, which members of Einstürzende Neubauten participated? Who exactly are "the Chasers"? This information is required in a section which should be called "personnel" as set out at WP:ALBUM.
The article needs all musical performers for a C class. For a B, other suggestions above should be addressed as well. Article requirements:
