Just three years ago, Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive” blindsided everyone with a film in which almost every individual aspect was familiar, but whose total tone seemed to come from a place where the best and bleakest bits of the '80s never stopped happening. The indie landscape now feels different because of it: low-light, high-rise, grease-slicked cities full of nameless loners and revving engines have sprawled across our screens and consciousnesses: see also the recent “Nightcrawler.” But how “Drive” looked was only part of what had us all rushing out to buy muscle cars and scorpion jackets: the soundtrack also played a huge role, encapsulating the alter-80s feel by featuring only current artists, but ones whose music owes a huge debt to the era of synth and groove. Alongside Cliff Martinez’s low-level, pulse-like score, the half-dozen tracks stood out, and are all still immediately memorable: Chromatics’ “Tick...

Of all the great movies the Oscars have shunned over the years, Drive's snub in 2012 was a tough one to take.
Ryan Gosling stars as the Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver in his most mesmerising performance since he was a Jewish neo-Nazi in 2001's The Believer. Carey Mulligan is the struggling single mum who Gosling falls for, and a between-Breaking Bad seasons Bryan Cranston plays his mechanic partner in crime.
Nicolas Winding Refn's direction is suave and daring; he follows the blood, sweat and tears of The Driver's journey with total badassness and ends up with something in between Taxi Driver and Michael Mann's Thief... And then there's the soundtrack. What a soundtrack.

Zane Lowe has defended his forthcoming BBC Radio 1 Drive soundtrack project.
The DJ has curated a new soundtrack for Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn's cult hit, bringing in Chvrches, The 1975, Baauer, Banks, Bastille, Bring Me the Horizon, Eric Prydz, Jon Hopkins, Laura Mvula, The Neighbourhood and Zcc (Simon Neil) to create new music.
The re-scored film will be shown on BBC Three on October 30 at 10pm.
Despite backing from director Refn and the makers of the 2011 film, fans have taken to social media to voice their objection to replacing the likes of Kavinsky, College, Electric Youth and Chromatics from the original soundtrack.
"I've read some messages from people who are either confused or angry about #R1Drive. Its important to say no-one is trying to improve here," Lowe wrote on his Twitter page, adding that "the experiment comes from a place of respect".

One of the most acclaimed elements of Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" was the score - a blend of original electronic numbers by composer Cliff Martinez along with a couple of key pop songs such as College & Electric Youth's "A Real Hero," The Chromatics' "Tick of the Clock" and Kavinsky and Lovefoxxx's "Nightcall".
For a film with minimal dialogue, the score played a very important part in generating that film's sense of tone. Now, in an intersting experiment, Radio 1 and BBC Three have announced plans to rescore the entire film for a one-time only broadcast in the UK next week.
Zane Lowe is curating the project which is being dubbed "Radio 1 Rescores: Drive," which suggests there may be more re-score broadcasts of this type on the way.

Part of the reason Nicolas Winding Refn‘s film Drive took on an unusual life was the film’s skillful use of music. Beyond the original electronic compositions from Cliff Martinez (The Knick, Only God Forgives), the heartbeat of the very quiet film was provided by pop and electronic songs from Kavinsky and Chromatics. Music was a more […]

Quite simply, the soundtrack to Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" is one of the best of the past few years. Seamlessly blending Cliff Martinez's distinct, throbbing score with retro-future jams by Kavinsky, College, Chromatics, and Desire, the entire sonic palette helped inform the neon mood of the Ryan Gosling starring film. But what happens when you drape the movie with a bunch of random new music? Well, you're about to find out. BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe has undertaken the task of rescoring "Drive," with Chvrches, Foals, Sbtrkt, Jon Hopkins, Laura Mvula, the 1975, Baauer, Banks, Bastille, Bring Me The Horizon, Eric Prydz, the Neighbourhood, and Zcc (aka Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro) all tapped to provide new exclusive music. A 30-second trailer—with Lowe talking all over it—does preview a bit of what it will sound like, and, unsurprisingly, results may vary. Refn carefully crafted his film with...

It may be that I'm biased and love the movie Blade Runner, but I think this trailer is the best fan-made creation I've seen in a while. Using the music of Kavinsky, whose song "Nightcall" can be heard at the beginning of Drive, and quick cuts, Vanderthrust manages to give an updated feel to a classic piece of science fiction. For you music lovers who may be interested, the song is called "Odd Look"!

He has played the drums on albums by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Captain Beefheart. He once drummed for 72 hours without stopping. He has worked on almost a dozen Steven Soderbergh films. Cliff Martinez is… the most interesting film composer in the world.No, seriously. You can keep your Howard Shores and your Hans Zimmers. We bet they would have given Nicolas Winding Refn's “Drive” a thudding, portentous action-movie soundtrack; it took Martinez to see that what it somehow needed was a sickly sheen of 80s electronica, both in new pieces written by him and provided the likes of Chromatics, Kavinsky, Desire and more. It was a decision brilliant enough to get him a gig on Refn's “Only GodForgives,” which Martinez added his own throbbing score alongside selections of Thai pop.Now Martinez has opened up about his next project, the score for a French action movie—described as “Die Hard” meets “Taken,...

Often we fail to appreciate just how important music is in enhancing the cinematic experience; a scene can boast stunning cinematography and great acting, but often it is using just the right piece of music that will nudge a scene into iconic territory, where it will never be forgotten.
It’s hard to imagine any of these scenes using another piece of music or, worse still, no music at all; each director or their music consultant has perfectly selected a song to give the scene the maximum level of punchiness, or humour, or indeed, heart.
It was tough whittling this list down to just ten because, of course, there are so many brilliant music-driven scenes to choose from – Psycho’s shower scene very nearly made the grade – but here are 10 that have connected with audiences in the most special way.

Kavinsky has cut a famously mythic figure in the world of French electronic music, folding himself into his alter-ego, a Ferrari Testarossa-driving zombie from a bygone decade.
It helped that he is perhaps only known to wider American audiences by a song on a movie soundtrack, "Nightcall," from the Ryan Gosling and auto-porn vehicle "Drive." That haunting tune also offers the centerpiece for Kavinsky's own soundtrack, though its corresponding movie has yet to make it out of the producer's mind. "OutRun," Kavinsky's debut studio LP, landed in stores Monday.
In person, however, Kavinsky (born Vincent Belorgey -- he changed the name because he didn't think it fit the whole zombie-dj-producer narrative) is disarmingly casual. He freely dispatches electronic dance music poster-boy David Guetta as a horrible reference and says Guetta -- also French -- ruined Kid Cudi's career, but does so in as not-flashy a manner as possible.

Mario Kart characters have taken over Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive. The video may be a year too late, Mario’s mustache is no match for Ryan Gosling’s five o’clock shadow, and Kavinsky is nowhere to be heard, but the faux trailer is still good.
Kart also stars Princess Peach (as Carey Mulligan’s Irene), Luigi (Bryan Cranston’s Shannon), Wario (Albert Brooks’ Bernie Rose), and Waluigi (Oscar Isaac’s Standard Gabriel). “Did you have any idea that there’d be a Yoshi?” Mario asks Daisy (Christina Hendricks’ Blanche). “They said there’d be another cart to lighting us,...

Listen, we know that songs are never just used once, and popular tunes can be utilized across any number of films. And if we're going to get technical about this whole thing, Kavinsky & Lovefoxx's "Nightcall" actually featured on "The Lincoln Lawyer" soundtrack before it became massive with "Drive" (though music supervisor Eric Craig worked on both films). But it's undeniable that Nicolas Winding Refn's film was one of the big soundtrack stories of 2011, spawning a "Drive" tour with the bands this spring, and a vinyl reissue of the album this summer, so this move by whoever is working on "Taken 2" feels a bit lazy. As Bryan Mills works his way across Istanbul kicking ass, you will be hearing at some point "A Real Hero" by College & Electric Youth and "Tick Of The Clock" by Chromatics, two of the centerpiece songs from "Drive." Considering that "Taken 2" only has a.

When I discovered Drive last September it felt electric, like I had watched something beautiful and profound that I could not shake from my mind. It inspires a lot of things in the viewer because it has this ambitious and intoxicating visual look to it. But then there is this gently paced story that talks of love, cruelty and loyalty and then encapsulates it in 80’sesque pop music. The opening credits alone are wholly impressive as shots of the driver and neon pink credits merges with the song Night Call by Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx. Ryan Gosling’s driver character is without pretention, he seems to exist in the present and with a fascinating body language. In the opening sequence of the film, he is on the phone and captivating as he speaks, but that is because in the entire film this is his moment to make an impression, like a modern day Dirty Harry.

With the awards season over, the Oscars handed out and more importantly, the film now on BluRay and DVD, you would think that would be the last we're likely to hear about one of 2011's best films, Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive." But alas, there is still more to come.
In addition to being one of the finest films of the last twelve months, "Drive" also boasted one of the best soundtracks, a rare feat in which the music and the movie it's in are inseperable. And now, it's arriving in a new edition, a fancy pants vinyl release courtesy of Portishead member Geoff Barrow's Invada Records. No, this won't boast any extra new bells and whistles, but it will give hardcore audiophiles and fans a chance to listen to the songs by Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx, The Chromatics, Desire and Riziero Ortolani and the score by Cliff Martinez in all its analog glory.

Aside from using Kavinsky‘s Nightcall before Nicolas Winding Refn got his hands on it for Drive, The Lincoln Lawyer does a surprising amount of things right. It is a tight courtroom drama, directed with efficiency by Brad Furman and features the twangy, slick Matthew McConaughey that is tailor-made to deliver what I’ve penned “Lincoln Lawyerisms.” (See: “I checked the list of people I trust and your name ain’t on it.”) Alright, so I may love this movie more than most but it looks like I’m not alone.
We already knew an ABC TV series is coming, but today Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns was on CNBC (via Deadline) and announced his plans for a sequel to the film. He stated, “We do have some network shows we’re developing. The Lincoln Lawyer was a very successful movie for us and we’re developing that with ABC.
