A shot at glory soundtrack 20 years ago

[JF]

I always thought the sound quality was poor compared to the rest of MK’s output.

Like I said in my article, I guess it has been recorded and produced in a hurry, with a low budget. It can explain some differences in final output compared to other MK records

As far as I remember, it wasn't clear if the score would be released as the film was struggling to find its way to the film circuit. Actually I think it was released in DVD directly.

Luckily the score was released after more than a year on hold.

difficult to find the exact date. But, depends on sources, we can say it was 20 years ago today :
"A shot at glory" soundtrack, A pure gem in Mark's discography imho

my chronicle (in french) :

Oh yes, I agree. Every time I listen to it, I feel the same: the "A shot at glory" soundtrack is one of MK's best film scores, if not the best, at least for me. I've always thought that the last song of the album -- Wild mountain thyme -- would have been a perfect intro for Going home during live shows…

It's nice to have a topic about it and it's nice to have a chronicle too -- great chronicle btw -- thank you JF.

I remember being surprised. Soundtrack and Mark sings? In three songs. It was new. A beautiful album. But "Four In A Row" still controversial

How is it controversial?

[Robson]

I was not prepared for a mix of techno-folk
This beat was controversial to me.

It's a GF job
