Mad Men Original Score, Vol. 1
Of the many incredibly well-done aspect of AMC’s Mad Men, the original score for each episode is yet another component of the aunthenticity and quality of this breakout show. You’ll quickly recognize the closer, RJD2’s “A Beautiful Mine”, which serves as the opening theme. The journey to it, however, will have scenes and moods flashing in your head. Even if you’ve never seen the show, the smooth flute solos and swinging riffs will have you bobbing your head. The man behind the score is David Carbonara, who we’ve never heard of only because he works only on music for film and television. He’s certainly caught our attention this time.
