Product Description
From Amazon.com
Quentin Tarantino wraps up his dizzy double-dose of martial arts film tribute cum informed paean to junk cinema with the throw-it-all-against-wall abandon that's become his cliched trademark, if not necessarily his true strength as a filmmaker. That sensibility has long informed his quirky, world-pop savvy soundtracks as well, though this chapter's collection gratifyingly sacrifices a dollop of eclecticism in favor of a little more focused nuance. Revolving loosely around a decidedly international, free-floating axis of Latin rhythm (Chingon's "Malaguena Salerosa, " the flamenco-demento of Lole Y Manuel's "Tu Mira") and Western twang, Tarantino's choices include Morricone both familiar (The Good, the Bad and Ugly's evocative "Il Tramonto") and less so (Il mercenario's "l'arena," "A Silhoutte of Doom"), fellow Roman film scorer Luis Bacalov's slinky, guitar-driven "The Summertime Killer" and a couple disparate slices of Americana by country legend Johnny Cash and rockabilly loose cannon Charlie Feathers. The director's pop fare covers less adventuresome territory, though Malcolm McLaren's trip-hop take on the Zombie's British Invasion chestnut "She's Not There" somehow seems all-of-a-piece with the retro groove of Shivaree's "Goodnight Moon" and melodramatic kitsch of Japanese actress Meiko Kaji's "Urami Bushi." It's all interspersed with excerpts of Tarantino-penned dialog from the film, snippets that only inspire an even greater admiration for his adventurous taste as musical compiler/supervisor. -- Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars
More substantial than the first,
By Henry Platte (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kill Bill: Volume 2 (Audio CD)
Unlike the Kill Bill 1 soundtrack, this one plays like a real album; it's heavy on the substance, with a lineup of full-length songs, but still carries the distinctive style of the movie. 'Goodnight Moon' and 'About Her' reflect the more sober tone of the second part, but nothing better than Johnny Cash's touching cover of 'A Satisfied Mind,' which seems like a very emblamatic song, related to Bill's statements about Pai Mei: "He's a rotten old b*st*rd, and, like all rotten old b*st*rds, he gets lonely." L'Arena is a very powerful piece, from the eerie opening section to the triumphant swell near the end. 'Malaguena Salerosa' was a good selection for the closing credits, very soulful and reckless.One thing that seems sparse is the dialogue. The few scenes which are selected don't seem like the strongest; where's the 'goldish flapping and not flapping' exchange, the 'you're a terrific person; you're my favorite person, but sometimes...,' or any scene with Budd or Elle? The transition from 'Truly and Utterly Bill' to 'Malaguena Salerosa' is pretty effective, though.

Excellent,
By Will (British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kill Bill: Volume 2 (Audio CD)
Quentin Tarantino's selections for music form very different feelings and very different genres, but somehow it blends into a cohesive whole despite the vast differences between the music. Even the clips from the movie seem at home. This CD is excellent for a casual listen.By the way, the DVD's menu song is called "About Her" by Malcolm Mclaren, and it's arguably the best track on the CD.
