1985 soundtrack album by Eric Clapton
Edge of Darkness is the 1985 soundtrack by Eric Clapton and Michael Kamen for the British television series Edge of Darkness . The soundtrack's theme won the Ivor Novello Award for songwriting and composing,[1] besides winning the 1986 BAFTA Award for Best Music.[2]
Background and performance [ edit ]
For Clapton, it was his first experience writing for film; shortly after attending Terry Gilliam 's movie Brazil with his friend Kamen, who had scored the film, he received a call from the BBC asking him to do the music for Edge of Darkness , and he subsequently asked Kamen for assistance.[3] [4]
In the early 1990s Clapton performed the music live, with the National Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Michael Kamen;[5] the title song from one of those performances is captured on 24 Nights .[4]
Reception [ edit ]
The soundtrack attracted few reviews. The Age mentioned the music in a review of the series, saying that Clapton's music matched the mysterious and shadowy feel of the drama;[6] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution , again in a review of the TV series, said the accompanying music was "particularly noteworthy."[7]
The single reached No. 65 on the British charts, on which it spent three weeks in January 1986.[8]
Track listing [ edit ]
"Edge of Darkness" (3:19)
"Shoot Out" (3:48)
"Obituary" (2:09)
"Escape From Northmoor" (3:09)
"Oxford Circus" (3:17)
"Northmoor" (3:02)
Releases [ edit ]
Originally sold as a 45 rpm 12" record and as a cassette , it was re-released in February 1989 as a 3" CD single (with a cover changed from the record's mainly black and red cover).[9] A live version on the main theme was issued on a single together with a live version of "Wonderful Tonight " in 1991,[10] and on the 1991 live album 24 Nights .[11]
