Product Description
Album Description
Soundtrack to the brand new film directed by Tom Tykwer who brought us Run Lola Run. To name some of the eclectic artists featured: Alison Goldfrapp, Anita Lane, Louise Rhodes of Lamb, Beth Hirsch and Skin of Skunk Anansie. This CD release features 7 songs and 7 tracks of score. 2001 release.
About the Artist
Pale 3 are Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil and the director of the film Tom Tykwer, the same trio behind the score for "Run Lola Run". Not only did Pale 3 compose the score, they then took portions of the music and developed them into songs much like they did with two of the tracks for "Run Lola Run". With the "Princess and the Warrior" they took their creative process a step further by developing the ambient pieces into songs, then giving the songs to the talent along with film footage inviting them to write their own lyrics to each of the songs. The end result is an amazing companion to the film providing an audio journey to the dark future of finding the wrong person at the right time.

For Fans Of The Film Only!,
By Mr G Bowden (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Princess and the Warrior (Audio CD)
Anyone who has seen Tom Tykwer's epic third film, "The Princess & The Warrior", knows that there must have been a lot of money floating around when it was being made. The same can be said of the soundtrack also, as the co-composing team of Tykwer, Reinhold Heil and Johnny Klimek, under the newfound moniker Pale 3, have struck gold after cooking up a storm with their rave-flavoured accompaniment to "Run Lola Run". And like the film, the follow-up could not be anymore different, as the thumping beats of "Lola" are exchanged for heartbreaking strings and slow-burning stunners that add to the film's emotional texture unlike most plop-pop soundtracks that are geared to make money.One nice little subversion is that Pale 3 have taken various score sections from the film itself and have transformed them into stirring pop songs that interlink with various moments and characters within the film. On the whole, it works, but will leave curious listeners who either haven't seen the film or didn't like it cold, as you're not going to feel moved when Louise Rhodes trills to chilling effect "I knew I'd find you there / Now our story can really start" unless you adored the film, not to mention Sissi and Bodo. That said, the best songs are Skin's "You Can't Find Peace" (singing as though she's in unspeakable pain), Rhodes' "Escape (Afraid Of No One)" (amazing ending!) and Beth Hirsch's "The Tunnel" (sampling one of the best score pieces from the film). And Franka Potente continues to follow Marianne Faithful in the name of spoken word with "Fly With Me", which again soars or falls judging on how much you enjoyed the film. The other half of the CD is score cues taken from the film itself, and again highlights the amazing versatility of Pale 3. Combining low-fi electronica with some stirring string arrangements (recorded in California - classy!), the talented troika masterfully crank up the tension (hear "The Roof") as well as absorb the listener with soothing melody (hear "Opening (Sissi Search)"). But the humdinger here is "The Escape", which sounds exactly the opposite of what the title suggests. My advice: watch the film, be amazed, then blast this as loud as you can from your CD players! Truly wonderful.

This review is from: The Princess and the Warrior (Audio CD)
I agree with bluedevilsf....definitely more inspired than truly. I miss some of the other scores from the movie, particularly the opening sequence at the funeral, "I'm Sorry", and the ending after the gas station. I listen to this soundtrack as I am driving through San Francisco and the wine country hills throughout Sonoma, particularly "You Can't Find Peace" and "Fly with Me" (inspired) and Tracks 8 and 12 (actual movie). Tom's group really knows how to put together the most sublime, soul-opening romantic music on this earth. Now, just to find someone who understands the feeling......

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Princess and the Warrior (Audio CD)
This CD is so beautiful, I'm practically speechless! It is an ambient score and quite touching. The soundtrack, is nothing like the Run Lola Run soundtrack, but in my humble opinion, it beats the later. The vocalists are all female and the first half of the cd are songs written by the artists on there take of the subject matter of the film and how they intepret the love story. Relaxing and romantic. Track 5 Bodo by Alison Goldfrapp is so touching and her voice is so delicate and tragic. This is a passionate soundtrack and I recommend all fans of the elegant movie to purchase the soundtrack!
