Customer Reviews
This is the soundtrack to get
This is music for the person who loves music. If you have an appreciation of Shakespeare, and creative and well-made modern reproductions, then you will completely enjoy this soundtrack and how well it not only complements the film, but carries itself as an independent piece of art. This is completely modern -- not classical -- and certainly not pop. You will want to see the film if you have not done so already. The moods will swing you if you let them and you will get lost in this music. I can listen to it over and it will not get old. I rented this DVD and then I bought it and then I bought the music. It is the single-best soundtrack I have ever heard.
Hypnotic rythms
This collection of hypnotic rythms and passionate beats allows a hip and modern mood to float about the room. The second track, "Big Calm" is my favorite because it's soulful, eerie, and sexy. Other great songs include the jazzy, smooth sound of track # 5, "Sublime" and the hypnotic, mellow sound of track #7. The overall tone of this album is mellow,ecclectic, and moody. I would recommend playing it in the car while driving at night under the stars just to get away...
Good but not Great
I like this soundtrack, I really do. The problem is this: I normally buy a movie soundtrack when I hear 1 or 2 musical performances in the movie that are too cool for me to live without. In Hamlet, it was the cool techo-beat you hear in the first opening shots (right before Hamlet speaks his first lines) and the orchestral music heard when the opening movie title, "Hamlet", flashes on the screen - stark white letters on a red background. And this soundtrack CD has...neither of these! But I do still enjoy what it does have. Mostly dark, grunge techno with some good alternative as well.
