Although I am no expert on the films of Stanley Kubrick, I am able to notice that he tends to use classical music in the soundtracks. Barry Lyndon, A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey make good use of classical music to set the mood of a scene in his films. It also seems to me that he uses classical music to illustrate the irony of its use in a scene. Also, it is no small wonder that the piece he seems to use most in Clockwork is The Thieving Magpie - maybe a nod to Malcolm McDowell's character. The use of this music in lieu of the actual sounds of a scene seem to give the scene even more poignancy than it would have without it. Obviously my opinion and a possible subject for debate.

I just rediscovered the incredible music created by Wendy Carlos on the Moog Synthesizer. The entire album is not all by Carlos, but she did win a few music awards for her work. I had the vinyl album back in the 1970's. Now in my 60's, I listen to her music during my daily walks. The music is invigorating. I also bought 3 more CD's of hers at the same time (Switched on Bach II, Switched on Bach 2000, and The Well-Tempered Synthesizer. I already had the original Switched on Bach). Her interpretation of classical music is mesmerizing. I think people of all ages would enjoy it, even younger listeners, as the music is so modern, even 'space age'.

The CD plays perfectly which is the main reason to buy a CD.... and of course it's a great soundtrack.

This is a CD version of the music used in the film. I mostly wanted the W. Carlos music, but the other music is OK. There is a other CD with all of W. Carlos music. If you want just his music, that is better for you.

Good soundtrack of music only. No boring conversation excerpts from the movie that get tiresome with repetition. Brilliant film, good soundtrack.
