 You already know that I completely love this movie, so I had to get the soundtrack which adds so much emotion to an already fantastic film. A good portion of the tracks on this CD are original compositions written especially for the movie, and they fit certain scenes and situations so well (for example, the track Ikebana just evokes images of flower arranging for me). There are a few contemporary tracks by bands such as My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus & Mary Chain, which I normally wouldn't have a desire to listen to, but in the context of the soundtrack, they are just essential (I have no idea how they make guitar distortion so incredibly full!). There's one cool song in Japanese, Kaze Wo Atsumete, which has a wonderfully laid-back feel that's fun to sing along with. Listening to this CD in the car is a treat - even though most of it is semi-ambient, it just makes my mind work in different ways, causing me to look at clouds and trees with deeper feeling, all accompanied by some fantastically interesting music. (Don't forget to listen to Bill Murray sing karaoke on the hidden track!)Labels: cds |
