This week’s show features music commissioned by studios for a soundtrack. I’m not talking about the multitude of various artist comps made for each movie’s soundtrack, original songs or not, but rather the instances where an artist is chosen to create the entire sonic atmosphere of the movie; Think of Curtis’s “Superfly” or Prince’s “Batman.”
