Product Description
From Amazon.com
The companion CD to the film from director Lynne Ramsey (Ratcatcher, Gasman) isn't just a soundtrack--it's also a plot device; these 14 tracks, which range from gamelan drumming to a rollicking ditty from Ween's bizarre 12 Golden Country Greats, compose a mix tape left for the titular heroine by her boyfriend before he committed suicide. Consequently, an individual, yet not inaccessible, inner logic guides the programming, through hipster staples by the Velvet Underground and Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood to a judicious handful of contributions from Warp stable artists ("Nannou," a whirring symphony of wind-up toys by Aphex Twin, proves a captivating capper to the disc). But it's the cuts from or inspired by Kraut rock pioneers Can, from the jittery funk of "I Want More" to bassist Holger Czukay's goofy "Cool in the Pool" and the multipart "Blue Milk (Edit)" by Can disciples Stereolab, that best convey the mix of introspection and absurdity that permeate this mesmerizing set. --Kurt B. Reighley

i love movie soundtracks
Feb 27 2004
Format:Audio CD
Great music, totally linked up with the film plot in meaningful ways and holds the tone or vibe throughout.
One major problem I had was the missing club tracks, these full-on techno, almost hardcore and metal sounding tracks that went with the dark, strobe light, club scenes were not included in the soundtrack and definitely should have been. To me these tracks/sounds were a huge part of the movie's soul, almost climatic in a sense as far as feeling the brunt of a connection with death and the intensity of realizing a loved one has died, and going through that experience of contact with the dead/underworld, and at the same time feeling that intensity dissipate and move on, healing the psyche.

Great Soundtrack with One Flaw
Dec 31 2003
Format:Audio CD
If you loved the movie like I did, then you love the soundtrack too. It takes you on the journey back through the movie and the journey of this girls self discovery. Each song reminds me of different parts of the movie. The songs are very well arranged and a good mix. They give you a range from Aphex Twin to The Velvet Underground to Ween. It's excellent! The only flaw I found was that they didn't include the last song of the movie, 'Dedicated to the one I love by the Mamas and the Papas' that irritated me. I thought that song really ended the movie well and it would have ended the soundtrack perfectly also. Thats why i only gave it four stars. But, if you liked the movie, get the soundtrack, its well worth the buy. Even if you haven't seen the movie, it's still a good Zone album.
Good soundtrack, good movie...

I'm listening to this soundtrack right now...it's really quite good. I don't think that any of the music on this soundtrack is very obscure (with the exception of Holger Czukay, maybe) but all of the songs are well chosen and if you like Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and other electronic pop, then you'll like this CD a lot. The Broadcast song is definitely a nice inclusion, made me go out and get their new CD.
