Here’s “Fashion Dynasty”— a keyboard track from the 1984 movie The Wild Life. Eddie wrote the entire musical score for the movie, playing guitar along with his electronic drum machine.
The director wanted this background music to be used during the scene at the Fashion Dynasty store in the mall.
More exclusive tracks on the way! The Van Halen News Desk will be releasing all of Ed’s music from The Wild Life film score throughout the coming weeks, via our Van Halen Vault youtube channel (subscribe here). These are the full, raw tracks that Eddie recorded, before they were edited for use in the movie. These complete tracks have never been heard anywhere before! So stay tuned, track #8 is coming soon! (Others we released so far: “Out The Window,“ “Top Down,” “Back To School,” ”(Nearly) Good Enough,” “All Fired Up” and “Peeping Tom.”
More music from The Wild Life! Here’s what we call “Love Song,” a pretty little guitar track from the 1984 movie The Wild Life. This has never been heard in full until now.
This beautiful little piece, not reliant on gain and effects, could be a cousin of “Women In Love.” It’s very lovely, with a chime-like quality.
They just added another one “Driving Song” the other day to the VHND. Damn I love these songs. They oughta release a CD of this stuff. Great riffing and overall vibe. You can DEFINATELY see the mood Ed was in back then which carried right over to 5150. That happy go lucky, good feeling, vibe riffing, crunchy, twangy sound out of his Kramer 5150.
