RY COODER
Paris, Texas (LP, 1985) Warner Bros. 9 25270-1 ORIGINAL 1st Pressing Promo. Outstanding.
One of Cooder's best soundtracks, with the great Jim Dickinson and David Lindley on board. This is a first pressing promo from Warner Brothers, with a gold foil promo stamp on the front top right corner (see pics). The cover has only the most MINOR of handling wear and the dark cover betrays the VERY faint beginnings of a dent/ring, but it's VERY hard to detect. The corners and spine are sharp. The vinyl appears scratch-free and virtually flawless. When I had it under a harsh light I saw a FAINT scuff on side 2, but when I went to look again it took me almost a minute (under a harsh light) to find it again. That's how faint and unimportant it is. So I feel confident in saying it won't effect play. If it does, just return it.
Side A Paris, Texas (2:56) Brother (2:06) Nothing Out There (1:30) Canción Mixteca (4:17) No Safety Zone (1:55) Houston In Two Seconds (2:00)
Side B She's Leaving The Bank (5:56) On The Couch (1:28) I Knew These People (8:38) Dark Was The Night (2:50)
MUSICIANS Ry Cooder Jim Dickenson David Lindley
ALL MUSIC GUIDE 4-Star REVIEW Suggestive of both the imagery of Wim Wenders' movie Paris, Texas and the desert itself, Ry Cooder's score is a peaceful, poetic journey into the soul of an acoustic guitar. "Paris, Texas," "Brothers," and "Nothing Out There" open the album as meditative blends of guitar twang and scratching ambient effects. The songs move at a pretty, slow place, and the opening track sees Cooder plucking his guitar's strings and letting that sound vibrate into thin air; it's a motif that he returns to repeatedly throughout the score. There's a bit of both humor and mystery to the stillness and the echoing, edgy sound effects that crop up. "Cancion Mixteca" includes a memorable turn on vocals by Harry Dean Stanton, singing in Spanish. "No Safety Zone" is almost completely ambient in its ethics, with fleeting experimental guitar playing, as the song works more as a mood-setter than a traditional song. "I Knew These People" begins with an extended segment of dialogue from the film before Cooder's somber guitar creeps in. The effect of the dialogue makes the track a fine, artistic statement. The majority of the score is delicate and stunningly pretty. The overall sense is that Cooder was reaching for spare, emotional movements. The score is stark, quiet, and as uplifting as it is sad. Cooder makes the music sound as modern and stylish as acoustic music can sound. The album is at once alien and organic, a powerful and immensely evocative journey.
