“The Fall” by Krishna Levy

Categories: Custom Covers · Mockups · Vinyl CoversTags: · 2 Comments

Alovely little collection for Krishna Levy’s 2006 score for Tarsem Singh’s epic The Fall. Sadly, the score was never released, only a handful of tracks can be found on a composer’s compilation from 2013, which doesn’t do the score, and more importantly the movie, any justice. I had collected some high-resolution source images and wanted to design a correspondingly high-quality cover artwork that I could use for my own digital music collection, particularly for the Ludwig van Beethoven composition Symphony No.7 in A major op.92 – II, Allegretto. A timeless masterpiece in its own right, which has been given appropriate…

After a long time, I have once again decided to publish a non-soundtrack entry on my blog. There may very well be more of these in the future and I’m already thinking about grouping them into their own category on the main page. But don’t worry, dear film music aficionados, HQCovers will continue to be a blog primarily dedicated to original and customized soundtrack artworks. Still, please bear with me if I deviate from this approach every now and then. For example, today. A few weeks ago I accidentally stumbled on an open source freeware called “Ultimate Vocal Remover” and…

“Kill Bill” by Various Artists

There are days when I feel like Kill Bill was the absolute best Quentin Tarantino has ever been. It’s been sitting super high on my personal Tarantino shortlist for a long time and there are indeed a lot of highlights to be found in these films. Overall it’s a tremendously enjoyable pop culture round trip. A true 60s and 70s blaxploitation galore with QT behind the lens in full force and effect. And it for sure stands as a staple in Quentin Tarantino’s career as being a distinctive turning point from rather realistic auteur films to sprawling cinephile extravaganzas. Virtually…

“Steve Jobs” by Daniel Pemberton

There was a time when I considered myself to be one of the people commonly known as Apple fanboys. And this despite the fact that the only products with an Apple logo on the back that I ever owned were exclusively iPods and iPhones. Nevertheless, I’ve held the brand and the lifestyle associated with it in the highest regard. Apple was synonymous for the creatives, for the artists and, above all, for freethinkers. Their products were excitingly different and always light years ahead of everyone else’s. I will probably always remember that sleepless night right before the delivery of my…

Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance series, which premiered in 2019, is a prequel to the 1982 film, The Dark Crystal. The series, which consists of ten episodes, is set in the same universe as the original movie and is filled with fascinating characters, creatures, and an intricate storyline. One of the most significant differences between the new series and the original is the use of advanced technology. While the original film used puppetry and animatronics, Age of Resistance uses a mix of practical effects and modern CGI. However, despite the updated technology, the creators of the show worked hard…
