Format:Audio CD
This is a great album! In truth I cannot say whether it is a great soundtrack as I've yet to see the film, however the music has transported me on a fantastic adventure of my own making.
Apart from perhaps Tindersticks there was never a band more destined to produce a quality soundtrack than Ralfe Band.
Ralfe Band have the creative ability to jump from rumbunctious optimism (I'm guessing possibly misguided in the context of the film) to melodic melancholy often within the constraints of an individual song - perhaps they are musing the human condition?
The opening three tracks are a wonderful prelude to the album as a whole, introducing a number of musical threads and emotions which run throughout the work. The opening Bunny and the Bull Theme indicates the elements of a Vaudevillian horror / freak show. Stephen is one of the most beautiful piano pieces that I can recall, at once reminiscent of Erik Satie and David Sylvian (particularly Japan's Nightporter). I hope that someday the band might expand on this piece of music with its beautifully bleak melancholy. What is Stephen's destiny in the film? Museum takes you on a joyous fairground ride, but what is the brooding synth riff both slightly sinister and strangely familiar?
From the brilliant opening trio there are no weak tracks - and my personal favourites include:
Snow Song - A Ralfe Band classic - could have been from either of their previous albums.
Attics - conjuring the image of a Eastern European wedding dance (from Ralfe Band's previous album Attic Thieves).
Fiesta Song - beautiful mariachi trumpets - what country could we be in now?
Another couple of wonderfully tragic piano pieces Bull Dance and Stephen's Finale are featured in the closing tracks and the delightful lilting lament Our Fighting Was Done completes the proceedings.
Having watched a trailer for the film, I know that this is a Boosh style road trip - I just wonder from the soundtrack how it all ends for Stephen.
I will revisit this review when I eventually watch the film, but for the moment will continue to enjoy this album on its own merits.

Bunny and the Bull Soudntrack
10 Jan 2012
Format:Audio CD
This product arrived in time for the holidays and in excellent shape. I had no problems placing the order or receiving it.
Play it and find yourself lost in a thick, magical Eastern European forest

Ralfe Band's excellent OST to Bunny and The Bull paints the hilarious film with sweet, yet darker tones, offering its listeners an experience that resembles a long walk through a fairy tale.
The album pulls you into a pure visual musical journey, exploring the non-existent and distant countries hidden deep in our childhood memories. Scary, but alluring, like cotton candy in a ghost carnival.

Great Soundtrack!

This is a great soundtrack to a great movie. Would definitely recommend checking it out. The guy who did this also did the Mighty Boosh documentary last year, which was brilliant as well.
