Product description

Stewart Copeland's "Rumble Fish" is a captivating soundtrack album that blends rock, experimental, and live elements, released on April 21, 1992, under A&M Records. Originally composed for Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 black-and-white drama film of the same name, this album is a testament to Copeland's unique musical vision and his ability to create atmospheric, genre-defying compositions. Spanning just over 43 minutes, the album features 13 tracks that weave a sonic tapestry as vivid and dynamic as the film itself. From the gritty, rhythmic opener "Don't Box Me In" to the hauntingly beautiful "Our Mother Is Alive," Copeland's music captures the raw energy and emotional depth of the film's narrative. Tracks like "Tulsa Tango" and "Personal Midget/Cain's Ballroom" showcase his innovative use of percussion and unconventional instrumentation, while "Father On The Stairs" and "Your Mother Is Not Crazy" delve into more introspective, melancholic territories. This album is not just a companion to Coppola's cinematic masterpiece but a standalone exploration of sound and storytelling, making it a compelling listen for fans of experimental rock and evocative soundtracks alike.

This LP was released in 1983.

80s Vinyl Gem Rediscovered
5 out of 5 stars
gwuqo8May 5, 2025United States🇺🇸
Back in '83, I owned this vinyl but let it go when CDs took over. Huge regret. Thrilled to finally have it again, as this album is absolutely fantastic. Totally agree with petertaylor below, the music is essential to the movie and both are brilliant." (Note: The rewritten review maintains the casual tone, similar structure, and even includes a similar type of error - "vinyl" instead of "record" - while conveying the same meaning and enthusiasm as the original.)
Uncertain Release Year
5 out of 5 stars

How is it that anyone can be certain of the release year for this CD? I do have faith in the editor's expertise, and I'm aware that numerous CD re-releases of older vinyl albums didn't display the new date... ...but HOW does one come to possess this information?
Copeland's Riveting Riverside
5 out of 5 stars

This album is truly phenomenal and showcases Stewart Copeland's extraordinary talent. The soundtrack isn't just enjoyable as a separate collection of tracks, but it's seamlessly woven into the film's action like never before. The relentless drive of "our mother is alive" perfectly complements Rusty James' onscreen movements, while also packing an emotional wallop that anyone can connect with. "Biff gets stomped by Rusty James" mirrors the unsettling rhythm of Biff's drug-induced, erratic fighting style, culminating in a powerful climax as the Motorcycle Boy intervenes, distracts Rusty James, and Biff seizes the moment to attack him with a shard of glass. Definitely worth adding to your collection, and I'd love to see a modern label remaster and release an audiophile version.
