Good, but what about the movie?, Jan 24 2005

This soundtrack is a good compilation of artists and covers a wide variety of music tastes, but if you saw the movie and are looking for songs that were actually played during it, you are out of luck. I just saw the movie yesterday and heard wonderful songs like Damien Rice's Cannonball and The Shins' Those to Come and Gone for Good that I recognized. This soundtrack has neither of these artists and is more instrumental than moving. Only buy this CD if you like these artists independently of In Good Company, because most of them are not in the movie itself.

Great Soundtrack, Jan 17 2005

This was a very good movie and we loved all the songs during the movie so we got the soundtrack. I was disappointed the 'la la la la' song from the trailer was missing and found out it's 40' by Franz Ferdinand so I bought that as well. Then i realized the Shins were missing; however on one website i found by searching google, it lists Gone for None and Those to Come as being on the soundtrack a long with Damien Rice's Cannonball. Are there two versions? Anyway, seeing as I bough this digitally, I'll just buy these left out songs and 'add them on'. Highly Recommend this.

an excellent soundtrack, Jan 14 2005

The soundtrack In Good Company and the movie are very good. I really liked the song Glass, Concrete, and Stone by David Byrne. This is a song about the routine of daily life. It is also about how hard everybody works to earn a living. The track Besame Mucho by Diana Krall is another highlight for me. Her rendition of this classic song is very soothing and sensual. Naked as We Came by Iron and Wine is a very pretty song about we all feel insecure at some point in our lives.
Peter Gabriel's hit song Solsbury Hill is included on this soundtrack. I think this song is very uplifting and optimistic. I haven't heard it in years, and I really enjoyed it. Steely Dan's classic Reeling in the Years is just a feel good song. Composer Stephen Trask contributes three wonderful instrumental tracks that enhance the movie well I'm Psyched is a beautiful lively instrumental piece about working together to get the job done. This is one of my favorite tracks on this soundtrack. In Good Company is an excellent soundtrack. I highly recommend it.
