Trumpeter/composer Mark Isham's seductive, sinewy tone is the perfect accompaniment to the quirky romantic world of Alan Rudolph's movies. The director has used Isham's music ever since 1985's Trouble in Mind, but The Moderns is their mutual masterpiece. Set in the Paris of the '20s (or at least a modern, faux-French re-imagining of it) populated by fictional characters who rub shoulders with "Ernest Hemingway" and "Gertrude Stein," it's a movie about the nature of art--what is real, and what is counterfeit? Isham's score, mostly performed by a sort of hotel cocktail ensemble dubbed "L'Orchestre Moderne," evokes the ghosts of Django Reinhardt and Edith Piaf along with images of tinkling chandeliers and smoky bistros. The moody main theme, "Les Modernes," which features violin and Isham's muted trumpet, instantly establishes a haunting, foggy atmosphere you can't wait to get lost in. --Jim Emerson

5 out of 5 stars The Moderns:original soundtrack.......2004-04-26

Instumentals and Lyrics that catapults you back to an era chock full of romantic feelings. Every piece is a delight to the imagination

5 out of 5 stars One of the best.......1999-07-19

If you are considering buying this sountrack, consider no more. Buy it. You will not be sorry. I don't know how to describe this CD, but I'll give it a go. It is touching, dramatic, beautiful. The song Parlez-Moi D'Amour would be worth the money all by itself, yet the whole album nearly matches up to its gorgeous dreaminess. You will not be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars romantic and sophisticated.......1998-05-12

This cd seduced me right away. It is perfect to listen to late at night with candles flickering. There are twelve delightful songs on here, lots of groovy upright bass and sultry violins, vibes, xylophone, piano. It is a very enchanting collection, with a very subtle mischeivousness threaded throughout the album. Perfect music for a romantic dinner at home. Song number seven is a beautiful lullaby from the twenties(all of the songs are from France in the 1920's) that will make you melt. I recommend this beautiful album to everyone without reservation.
