Heard this tasty jam in the atmospheric Manhunter film with an impeccable performance by William Peterson. Shriekback's "This Big Hush" also made an appearance in the film. Both top shelf jams.
I picked up Manhunter on VHS years ago at a pawn shop. I heard that it had something to do with the Hannibal Lector movies. I tell ya, the movie came out of nowhere and knocked me on my ass. It was SO GOOD! By no means a "perfect" movie, but Peterson and Cox's performances were incredible - not to mention Dennis Farina as Jack Crawford. (I've always loved that guy ha ha!) I love the style, mood and image that Michael Mann projected. (I'm not sure how to explain it properly lol). It just had a solid cast and great direction. I haven't watched very many movies that left an impression on me like Manhunter did. I was still thinking about it several days later. I watched it again, and then a third time. It has almost been unanimously agreed that William Peterson's performance was moving, and I agree. Peterson is something special. Then, later on, you hear how deeply he was affected playing Will Graham, how he put his heart & soul into the character and it (more or less) changed the direction of his career afterwards. The Red Dragon remake wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very good either lol. It was only made to rake in more cash on the Lector character before audiences lost interest in him. Edward Norton played a surprisingly dull Will Graham. He is usually an outstanding actor and very dedicated to his craft. I was expecting him to give Peterson a run for his money, but it didn't happen. And, of course, they had to expand Anthony Hopkins role in RD and give him more screen time. They added some unnecessary scenes for Lector & Graham together. And, as far as I'm concerned, Farina owned the Crawford character. Harvey Keitel was also boring as Graham's boss. I'm not sure why there were so many hollow performances in RD. The movie would have been a total bomb if it wasn't for Ralph Fiennes. Dollarhyde was one of his best performances. I'm not even going to compare and contrast him and Tom Noonan, because they cut so much of the Dollarhyde character out of Manhunter. They spent an insane amount of time giving Noonan the character's tattoo, then they never showed it. And the movie's budget ran out before filming was completed, so they totally rushed the final scenes to wrap it up. It would have been great to see Noonan close out the film the same way Fiennes was able to. I am absolutely confident that he would have pulled off an equally compelling performance, had he been given the opportunity.
I saw this film back when it was released. Peterson was flying high off the back of Friedkin's "To Live And Die In LA", another underrated film that was really gripping for the time. That film also introduced Willem Dafoe, who has become a monumental actor. These two films represented real gritty stuff in film that's just not present in today's cinema. Mann and Friedkin were cut from the same mold.
saw them at danceteria in the early 80's. with their mohawks. felt like being in e jungles of london. "well i'm almost there, i'm almost ready, see a light shape in the sky, feel a dark shape in a dark room."
Your comments about Shriekbacks unique sound being perfect for Miami Vice are bang on. Their magical track The Underwater Boys was used in an episode. I was absolutely gobsmacked when i watched it.
Moby's album "Destroyed" has a similar feel through most of it. A few other random recommendations: Massive Attack - "Butterfly Caught" and "Bullet Boy", Ladytron - "White Gold", Fluke - "Baby Pain"... There's a ton of music that later developed from this type of synth pop/rock.
Great post. Moby also did 2 tracks on Michael Mann's Heat soundtrack. The mention of Fluke and Massive Attack was a great observation as both of those groups were/are awesome!
i like this kind of music (ambient, synthie pop) but it seems that Shriekback didn't make similar songs. Can somebody recommend artists who make similar music?
It's when he goes back to the Leed's house and investigates the surrounding woods and climbs a tree and realizes that the killer was watching them from up there.
I play this musical masterpiece back to back with The Underwater Boys , another magical track by them also. They used the track on an episode of Miami Vice and it made my week.
Absolutely haunting in that scene in Manhunter
Sometimes i go to the nearest forest and blast this whilst climbing a tree
Haha and whittling some wood
Cooler than cool, so atmospheric...Manhunter!

You forgot Coelocanth, though.
I have always loved this tune from that very first moment i heard it from out of the film Manhunter very Atmospheric and Extremely Haunting
One of the most beautiful tracks ever, and Shriekback's best.
So haunting and used to good effect on manhunter... The whole soundtrack is superb
Originally in Red Dragon
huh...this track does not appear in red dragon it was on the manhunter soundtrack from 1986
When Graham finds Francis's calling card carved in to a tree.
Who in 2020 has this track in his playlists?

Oh! This is the song from the Manhunter trailer! I love this song! I've been looking for this everywhere thank you!
Here from Manhunter! Thank god I found it
The gorgeous vocals definitely seem like they could have inspired Crystal Castles.
Definitely a banger...
Superb...
Manhunter to the fullest!!!!!!!! i love the combination of sound and image...
saw them at danceteria in the early 80's. with their mohawks. felt like being in e jungles of london. "well i'm almost there, i'm almost ready, see a light shape in the sky, feel a dark shape in a dark room."
Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight, Will..?

*Fbi agent. Will Graham.*
*MANHUNTER*
Awesome sound ❤
loved this since the day i laid my ears on it
I really want to hear a Vaporwave/slowed down version of this song.
This song should have been on an episode of Miami Vice. Its mood is perfect for one of that show's contemplative scenes.
It's in Manhunter from the same director of MV, Michael Mann
@@rlawrence71 Yes it was. That’s where I first heard it.
Your comments about Shriekbacks unique sound being perfect for Miami Vice are bang on. Their magical track The Underwater Boys was used in an episode. I was absolutely gobsmacked when i watched it.

This band is so completely under rated!
Yes Sr. they are amazing

Exquisite cool.
Manhunter was so good.

Manhunter 😨
Become the darkness: see too much.
Can find anywhere except here. Needs to be added to Spotify.
The real bass test.
finally found it in......2021!
❤
I am so disappointed this song is not available on Spotify, Shame.
@MsOlu777 you might try listening to the Cocteau Twins or Sneaker Pimps
They have their own sound
Soothing sounds
Who’s listening in Brazil 2022!?
Very difficult to find tune. A real shame.
Crystal castles was definitely inspired by this
i like this kind of music (ambient, synthie pop) but it seems that Shriekback didn't make similar songs. Can somebody recommend artists who make similar music?
MsOlu777 hello, listen to this too , it’s a fantastic track. ruclips.net/video/GCwprmSA2Lo/видео.html
Check out The chromatics or Desire
Coelocanth and the big hush by shriekback from the mindhunter soundtrack are very similar tracks
correction: it's "door shape in a dark room".
💎
Can’t seem to find this song anywhere
What part of the movie was this in? I remember the song but can't place it in the film.
It's when he goes back to the Leed's house and investigates the surrounding woods and climbs a tree and realizes that the killer was watching them from up there.
@@LokiGoRound Good call. Thanks!
