Music Reviews of Southland TalesMusic Review: Matches the Mood of the Movie Perfectly Rating: 5 Stars
I must say, after watching the trailer for Southland Tales, then the film itself, Moby's original score is one of his best works ever. There are several tracks by other artists included, featuring Jane's Addiction, and the superior "surf" version of The Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation" that add to the fatalistic tone of the film. Two of the Moby tracks are from his Hotel.Ambient disc while the other 4 are orignals, and are my favorite of the entire soundtrack. Definite mood music.
Music Review: A Memory Gospel Rating: 4 Stars
This is an almost-perfect soundtrack that effectively captures all of the ups and downs of the movie Southland Tales. Songs from many different decades appears on this sountrack and original music by Moby is amazing. The soundtrack is missing a few songs from the movie, most noteably "All These Things That I've Done" by the 'The Killers' so I cannot give it 5 stars. Overall, it is still a diverse and fun listen.
Music Review: Teen Horniness Is Not A Crime! Rating: 4 Stars
I have to say that I originally got this album just for the song "Teen Horniness Is Not A Crime" and believe me that's worth it in itself. I was surprised to find that the rest of the music is pretty good too. Actually I wasn't that surprised, it's a fantastic movie and should have a fantastic soundtrack too.
Music Review: Umm...? Rating: 3 Stars
Where's "All These Things That I've Done"? And "Tender"?
I give it three stars for the amazing "Star-Spangled Banner," but missing the closing credits song and the ONE SONG that featured prominantly in the series (movie and graphic novel)? WTF?
Music Review: Memory Gospel Rating: 5 Stars
I appreciate your comments on the soundtrack's shortcomings but I suggest the dance segment with Memory Gospel in the movie was one of the most erotic sequences ever filmed (at least legally).
