I don't know if this has been discussed before but I'd like to share these thoughts with you and also would like to know your opinion:
Although the sex is of course the most important thing to me when watching porn, I noticed that the music of some porn movies is also pretty cool, sometimes even better than the sex !
Two examples/recommendations: - Sensual Exposure (Andrew Blake): this is absolutely the best music I've ever heard in a porn movie and one of the best in general. Especially the music of the scene "The Swimmer" with Debbie Diamond and Marc Wallace is fantastic: I like this "soft rock" style accompanied by the saxophone ! - Where The Boys Aren't #8 (Vivid): the music after the first sex scene when all the ladies are cruising out to the sea also has a wonderful melody.
Since these two examples are from feature(?) movies, I don't know whether it also applies to gonzo movies, since gonzo movies focus on sex anyway.
I would like to know whether music in porn movies is also important to you and, if yes, what your recommendations are. Besides, I would also like to know how the exact "procedure" is, i.e. e.g. is it like in the "normal" movies where the composer watches the scenes and then composes the score ? Can you buy the score of a porn movie separately, does it make sense and is it profitable ?
Looking forward to your replies.

Dark Angels has a soundtrack that I think you'd really like.
The Fashionistas from Evil Angel comes with a soundtrack cd and I must say it's got some of the best music I have heard accompanying a porn movie so I'd give that a try.
As for me the music is not as important but I do notice when I like a particular piece of music. A couple examples are in releases from Anarchy pictures where a real good instumental track is played while Ariana teases you in a scene from Shooters and also when Kami tease you in a scene from the dvd Stinkers.

I rather enjoy, as an option in porn viewing, short sex videos with a rock beat going. I like the trailers in Brandon Iron's AGSOI and kinda wished I could watch something like that for a longer period of time. Hard fuckin, suckin and cummin to rock-n-roll. Cool.
I wouldn't watch this type of video exclusively, just as a change up.
I'm another person who likes music in porn. Just like with mainstream movies, music adds an important element. As for my recommendations, two movies immediately come to mind: "Hidden Obsessions" and "The Fashionistas". And as someone already mentioned, there is a "Fashionistas" soundtrack album, though you have to buy the movie to get it.
The 70s movie Leilah had such a cool waka-waka soundtrack that it is a collectable. You can buy the CD online. I like music in features, but not in gonzo. Main titles or trailers should have music, but not the scenes. Vintage porn soundtracks are available online, as are ones like Russ Meyers movies.
Thanks, Cochise. I like the music, too, and will keep it for each volume. Kind of a signature song. I was a big fan of the early volumes of Elegant Angel's Dr. Fellatio series. The music for the first 5 or 6 was great.
Jules Jordan I think is putting out some great music. The Flesh Hunter 7 trailer and some nice mellow and relaxing music to it. Jenna Haze vs Krystal Steal's DVD Menu song is pretty good. Gina Lynn's darkside recieved an AVN Nomination for for best music as well.
One of my favorite songs is from Jenna's Revenge from the scene between Jenna and Brad Armstrong that takes place on the black hummer. Pure, classy music.
WOO HOO! It's great to see that studios are getting hip. Hopefully long gone are the 70's funk disco tunes for porn music. LOL
I was wondering when / if that was ever going to happen. It was to the point that I would have rather had no soundtrack in a porno than half the music they do play.
Not that I ever watch pornos of course. LOL
Could you imagine walking into your local Tower records and asking the pimple faced 16 year old behind the counter if he knows where the Interracial Double Anal ass to mouth girls soundtrack is? ROTFLMAO
From a really old porn flick "Suzie Superstar" I really like the songs that Shauna Grant is lip-synching and would like to know more about the group. Not that the singing is that great but is very seductive. The group is Horizon but there is another group by that name out now but is not the same one. Anyone know anything about the SS Horizon?
Just done a movie clip for my website. . . OK its not a bloody DVD but I used the B52's Rock Lobster. . .makes a change. Its why I can't stand Pole Dancing in the UK all you can play is Euro Dance music. . .I just can't stand the sound of it. . .give me a Man in Lipstick any day
I said a couple of months ago that the best music i'd heard was the music used at the beginning of Monica Sweetheart's scene with Brandon Iron in Ass Stretchers. I think Brandon said that Skeeter chose it.
It's a deep, throbbing remix of L'Amour Est Un Oiseau Rebelle ( Love Is A Rebellious Bird from the opera Carmen )and is perfect for the scene.
I don't like music DURING scene unless the scene actually calls for it. Much prefer to hear the actos talk dirty !
I am with some of you guys..music before a scene is great a strip tease during the credits..music during the scene tells me the action isnt enough to stand on its own..and its usually some dude in his basement....its not 1975

" Excuse me, but do you have the one that goes ' De der der de de der FUCK ME de der der de de der OH FUCK de de der der der de der FUCK MY ASS ! ' ? "
I don't like background music in scenes. But Private Video usually has some interesting drum and bass in their intros and trailers.
I had a membership at CumOnHerFace.com for a while, and for a lot of their shoots they use the same stock background music. Some of it is annoying as hell, but there's this one recurring track that is pure schmaltz seventies, and it really fits the site. Something about the cheapo keyboards and sleazy guitar just oozes messy group sex.
In terms of old school porn, Johnny Jump Up did a funky, hysterical soundtrack for "Black Throat"; an old Dark Bros. movie from the 80's. As far as new stuff goes, most of it falls into two shitty catagories: cookie cutter muzak with a vaguely "house" feel, or bad, fratboy Oi. The glaring exception is Eon McKai's shit. "Art School Sluts" was the first porn soundtrack I've heard in years that sounded like it was produced by anyone under the age of 50... all stuttering electro and Jungle. "A.S.S" is one of the few movies where the music actually adds to the action and anticipation of the fucking and sucking that is about to transpire.
I could tell you about the WORST music, it is those scenes where the same song is repeated 28 times over a 20 min period......makes me sick anyone else notice this?

I like porn, I like music, but somehow I just don't like music in porn and vice versa. Always the same silly tunes in those compilations... even if they're from different studios!
Maybe I'd change my mind if I got one with better music but I'm not so sure about that. I like natural sounds much better. That said you can imagine what I think about fake moaning...
