I just gave it a spin (the CD: "Original Soundtrack of Bruce Wood's
- The Door" Brian Citro and Charles Gorczynski) -
It is an excellent atmosphere, very jazzy with some electronic
elements. It really opened my appetite for the movie itself! :-)

...gave it a spin with a drummer
friend of mine. We enjoyed! I like the Circle tracks best,
as they remind me a bit of jazzy / acoustic
renditions of King Crimson style tunes.
The improvisation tracks are fun too,
especially difficult to access sometimes which
definitely makes it fun to imagine
what could be going on in a movie over them!

This cd went above and beyond my expectations! The music is fresh
and intelligent. The music is genius! I want more!! I have told all
my friends and colleagues about this cd.

...I think the music is excellent… There is an underlying sense
of tension and foreboding in a lot of what's going on that I'm sure
lends a certain creepiness to the film. I'd be interested in
seeing the film when it comes out, and buying a non soundtrack
cd from Brian and Charles should there be any forthcoming.

A strong feature of all the tracks is the cyclic, minimal,
looped samples of sax and guitar with the emphasis very much on
ambience and rhythm although several tracks do have a strong melodic
element such as on Stranger Things which has a very laid back,
smoky jazz vibe which I like. My favourite tracks would be the many
varied Improvisations, some of which are very dreamy and mysterious
with interesting treatments and electronic effects, echoes etc.
made on the sax and guitar.
A Caribbean/African element is also present such as on the three
parts of Kent’s Lament, although I would say these are far too
upbeat and bright to be a lament! Pitta reminded me very much of
Hatfield and the North with its cyclic electric piano, bass &
guitar chords and I was half waiting for Richard Sinclair
to begin singing!
I viewed the film clip and the music certainly adds an edgy air
of expectancy and tension to what looks to be a very interesting
film covering a fascinating subject.

A little bit more words about this great music:
*The Door is the debut release of Chicago´s emerging master
musicians Brian Citro and Charles Gorczynski.
The Door features 21 compositions created for BRUCE WOOD´S
psychological/supernatural mystery film of the same name.While the
music is typical of Citro and Gorczynski´s style, each track was
created to illustrate a theme or scene in the movie. Rather than
synchronize their compositions to the finished film,
the composers worked from the writtem sript.
Wood asked them to "make a CD,
and collage the music to the images later"
-- something that I really celebrate !! --
*The Music: both transcendental and urban. Their compositions
incorporate both acoustic ( guitar & saxophone ) and electronics
elements. Their unique song formats cover a range between abstract
sound textures and accessible melodies.*
People, THANKS for reading, now I´m begining to OPEN this Door...
