Customer Reviews

Great soundtrack; best use of trip-hop in a film.5
This soundtrack is really one that can only be appreciated by die hard trip-hoppers. That said, those unfamiliar with the genre will surely enjoy it just as well. The album follows the chronology of the film, beginning with Galliano's excellent "Slack Hands". The gospel-style chorus, acoustic guitar, and hip-hop drums open the album nicely. The soundtrack also features Massive Attack's "Spying Glass" and "Karmacoma", from their "Protection" album; Prodigy's frenetic remix of Method Man's "Release Yo' Delf"; DJ Shadow's tragic suite "Stem"; classical composer David Darling's "In November", a tension-filled symphony that was also used to similar effect in the movie "Heat"; and, my favorite track, "The Wilderness" by V-Love. It appeared in the movie at the commencement ceremony at film's end, and it fit that scene perfectly. All in all, a very good compilation, definitely not like typical soundtracks for this type of movie. Highly recommended.

Excellent, both the Soundtrack and the Film5
This is probably one of thebest films made, its portrail of suburban life in LA is excellent. Although the power of the film is in the writing the music takes you on a journey that is both emotive and compelling. The best way to listen to this soundtrack is to sit back, close your eyes and listen.

What Do You Call Real Music?5
I have heard the CD and I think the Artists who wrote the songs are very talented. Most of them are unknown but the movie itself was excellent, so the music to express the mood in the movie had to be breath taking as well.
