Reissue of the soundtrack tot he acclaimed Peter Greenaway film The Belly Of An Architect, featuring music by noted modern composer Wim Mertens, with additional material by American composer Glenn Branca. Filmed in 1986 and released in 1987, the film starred Brian Dennehy as a troubled American architect adrift in Italy. Set in Rome, the film remains one of Greenaway's more mainstream and visually attractive films. The movie is also notable since it saw Greenaway part temporarily with his usual musical collaborator, Michael Nyman. The exquisite (and varied) main score was provided instead by Belgian composer Wim Mertens. It includes some of his best known signature pieces, including 'Close Cover', 'Struggle For Pleasure' and '4 Mains' (all selected personally by Greenaway), as well as 4 special compositions for the film, 'Birds For The Mind', 'Time Passing', 'The Aural Trick' and 'And With Them' (the latter recorded with The London Sinfonietta). Additional music was provided by American avant-gardist Glenn Branca, whose suite of 4 eerie pieces create a more specific and sinister mood. The soundtrack album previously appeared on Les Disques de Crepuscule, and Factory Records in the UK. This new edition on LTM features new liner notes on the music, film and director. 2005.
