Music reviews of The Beach: Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Review: Great compilation, but bad soundtrack
Rating: 4 Stars
Soundtracks shouldn't be compilation CDs. They should have a color of their own. The color of 'The Beach'? Well, the individual pieces are each a vibrant color, but just like watercolors, you mix them together and all you get is a muddy concoction that is the color of poo. Then again, maybe that was the purpose of the album.
In the meantime, the great songs make the CD worth buying-- just don't listen to them together. Leftfield's Snakeblood starts off the album with an enchanting melody, floating on the surface of a throbbing bass. Unkle's Lonely Soul is like morphine that can really pluck your heartstrings. All Saints' Pure Shores doesn't really go with the overall 'trance-like' atmosphere, but with a melody similar to Madonna's 'Beautiful Stranger' and a hip-swaying beat, not to mention those sugar-coated slurring female vocals, listening to it is like riding a yacht in the Caribbean with the ocean breeze blowing against your face. Orbital finishes off with its typical clean and crisp sound.
If you feel like you need a puff of the cigarette or you just want to get 'fuzzy', then 'The Beach' is perfect for a hazy afternoon reverie. In fact, you can actually get blurry-eyed and happily obscure even without tropical sunshine or burning incense.
Description of The Beach: Motion Picture Soundtrack
The Beach Motion Picture Soundtrack includes New Order's "Brutal," the first new song available from this Brit troupe in a long time. The soundtrack also features a new track from multi-platinum English artists All Saints. The song, "Pure Shores," was produced by William Orbit (Madonna) and will be found on the band's forthcoming album. The soundtrack is rounded out by brand new songs/mixes from Sugar Ray, Blur & Faithless.Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Richard, a young traveler with a curiosity streak that leads him to Thailand in search of adventure. This video-game fanatic finds himself following a map that supposedly leads to an island paradise. The accompanying soundtrack mixes the technological fascination with the exotic journey of the jungle, featuring several ambient electronica tracks (Underworld's epic "Ball," Leftfield's "Snakeblood") and other tracks mixed for futuristic sound. New Order provide the previously unreleased "Brutal," representing the sharper end of their spectrum, with a heavier guitar mix than usual. Asian Dub Foundation provide a modern interpretation of dub legend Lee "Scratch" Perry's "Return of Django." Sugar Ray expand their range with the calypso groove of Brian Eno and John Cale's "Spinning Away," and it's an unexpected gem. Bratty Britpoppers Blur remix "On Your Own" to sound like a video game gone beserk. Film scorer Angelo Badalamenti brings things full circle with the surprisingly upbeat collaboration with Orbital for the closing track "Beached." --Rob O'Connor
