Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Given his status as America's top male sex symbol, there's a perverse irony to Tom Cruise's virtually simmer-free performance in this would-be erotic thriller, Vanilla Sky, Cameron Crowe's remake of Spanish director Alejandro Amenábar's Abre los Ojos ("Open Your Eyes"). But ifCrowe stops just short of delivering another undercooked Tom turkey, his vaunted early years as boy-wonder rock writer--and the help of frequent collaborator Danny Bramson--informs the film with an exceptionally rich and eclectic pop-musicscore that leans heavily on unreconstructed psychedelia. Such was the Crowe-Bramson reputation that they secured original songs by no less than REM (the janglypop of "All the Right Friends") and Paul McCartney (a playfully obtuse title track that would otherwise be a stand-out on any modern Mac album), wrapping them in one sublime surprise, original and otherwise: Sigur Rós's hypnotic "Svefn-g-englar"; the gorgeous languor of "Have You Forgotten" by Red House Painters; star Cameron Diaz debuting as a singer (under the name Julianna Gianni) with Crowe and wife/film scorer/Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson in Wilson's equally dreamy "I Fall Apart"; the Monkees' psychedelic "Porpoise Song", Radiohead's "Everything in Its Right Place" and Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye". Constructed as the playlist of some strangely liberated FM broadcast that never was, this soundtrackis also a collection that proves that the best part of any turkey may well be the stuffing--sonic or otherwise.--Jerry McCulley
Chronique amazon.fr
Remake de son propre film espagnol, le réalisateur Aleiandro Amenabar s'est offert pour Vanilla Sky une américanisation à laquelle la bande originale n'échappe pas. Et c'est tant mieux ! En recadrant son œuvre originelle, le metteur en scène et le coordinateur de la compilation, Danny Bramson, tapent dans le mille. Chaque chanson colle au film de par sa structure musicale ou la signification de son texte. Accompagnant Tom Cruise dans sa quête intellectuelle, pour ne pas dire onirique, on retrouve R.E.M. – les bien nommés "All The Right Friends" et "Sweetness Follows" – ou encore Radiohead – "Everything In Its Right Place". Jeff Buckley, Peter Gabriel et les Chemical Brothers complètent cette compilation vanillée, laquelle termine son programme sur deux inédits absolument savoureux : la ballade "Vanilla Sky" de Paul Mc Cartney (nominé à l'oscar de la meilleure chanson) et surtout du petit bijou rock de la B.O.F., "Svefn-g-englar" du groupe islandais Sigur Ros. Une compilation soignée et mystique, évocation parfaite d'un film dont on ressort "planant". --Didier Leprêtre

Love it - even if it is missing the most important song
May 30 2004
Format:Audio CD
I love the soundtrack, but must admit I bought it
for one song, the one where he is on the roof with
Sophia, and the one that is playing as he falls from the roof.
I did find the name of it, though. It is "Ladies and Gentlemen
we are floating in space" by Spiritualized. Album with the
same title. I am surprised how much I like the Cameron Diaz
song and have fallen in love with the Red House Painters and
"Have you Forgotten". I find I am now obsessed with the Soundtrack as much as the movie.
For some reason, that movie has really stayed with me.
I pretty much know it word for word now.

My thoughts

I've never written a review and probably will never again but I couldn't hold back regarding this movie & cd. I cannot express how much I loved Vanilla Sky. I have watched it so many times it's sickening to some people. But every time I watch it it's like watching it for the first time. I don't understand why it didn't get great reviews. Maybe some critics can't handle watching a movie that actually makes them think. Anyway, I bought the soundtrack and I do agree with another customer in that when you listen to the songs they bring you right back to the scene. The only thing I was disappointed in with this cd is that not all of the songs were on it that were in the movie. I really wanted the song that played when David is first walking through the club with the mask. I also wanted the song on the roof before he talks to Sophia. Oh well. Regardless, I do like all the other songs on this soundtrack and if you liked the movie you will like the cd.
awesome music!!

What is the name of that song?
It's killing me! What is the name of that song that is playing when he's in the empty Times Square? The one that sounds like a mandolin playing with the funky beat?

Good compilation of movie tunes
Though it misses some of the more entertaining songs from the film (especially the dance mixes while David is clubbing) this cd is a pretty decent compilation of movie tunes. Read more
