(Pop Rock/Soft Rock) Elvis Costello - In Motion Pictures - 2012, MP3, 320 kbps

Despite cameos in Spice World, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged
Me, and 200 Cigarettes, very few would consider Elvis Costello a
star of the silver screen, but the singer/songwriter has
soundtracked many a film since he stormed onto the scene in the
late '70s. The 2012 compilation In Motion Pictures doesn't
contain all of the songs that have popped up in movies over the
years but it has 15 of them, making a shift from songs licensed
to films toward songs written for films about halfway through.
Apart from "Oh Well," a song cut for the little-seen hip-hop
opera Prison Song, "Sparkling Day" from One Day, and "You Stole
My Bell" from The Family Man, most of these songs aren't
particularly hard to find on other Costello compilations, but
this does provide a service in rounding up a bunch of stray songs
of varying shades of quality. Although this is certainly
inconsistent -- its momentum stalls on the stately relatively
recent songs -- in an odd way, what's most interesting about In
Motion Pictures is that it's the only compilation to touch upon
nearly every phase of Costello's career. Here, you can hear the
man evolve from nervy punk rocker to sophisticated balladeer,
trading personas like an actor finds new roles. And while that
might not make for the sturdiest of compilations, it is one that
is quietly -- and inadvertently -- revealing.
