Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Soundtracks have always been an integral part of Quentin Tarantino's films, sometimes playing as big a role as the actors, and the soundtrack to his kung-fu exploitation flick Kill Bill Vol. 1 is no exception. Who can forget the marvellous ear-splitting use of Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You" in Reservoir Dogs, or Dusty Springfield's sublime "Son of a Preacher Man" in Pulp Fiction?
Tarantino is the executive producer for the Kill Bill Vol. 1 soundtrack and considering his penchant for the wilfully obscure and talent for dusting off old gems, it's not surprising this overtly eclectic collection makes fascinating listening. Along with the jarring--if, thankfully, few--dialogue excerpts, comes delightful gems such as Santa Esmeralda's masterful "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". There's the slide guitar-fuelled rockabilly cool of Charlie Feathers' "That Certain Female", Spaghetti Western atmospherics from Luis Bacalov, and Wu Tang Clan rapper RZA belting out "Ode to Oren". Not for the faint eared then, but despite breaking every continuity rule in the book, it makes for marvellous listening. --Christopher Barrett

I am not usually a big fan of film soundtracks but having watched Kill Bill Volume 1 I was inspired to buy this one immediately. Throughout the film I was thinking WOW this is a good track, what is it? Whereas some of the ones I already knew such as Santa Esmeralda and just wanted it on CD.
Having got the CD I was mightily impressed with the track listing and playing it back evoked such good memories of a brilliant film. I would recommend this soundtrack to anyone but particularly those who have seen the film. It contains a diverse range of music taking in soul, rap and japanese rock and will appeal to many people.

Once again Tarantino has created a unique film and soundtrack. In my opinion the film was everything i didn't expect it to be, it really took me by suprise. The soundtrack is also a little different compared to say, reservior dogs or pulp fiction, but its still a really cool album filled with fantastic tunes and even sound effects from the film! Once you understand that this is a film that Tarantino made for his screen character's, like Clarence and Alabama "true romance," then you can really apriciate what he has done here.

Well worth the CD Bill
This soundtrack is the best album I have ever purchased. Taratino made a great movie, but the soundtrack is equally as fantastic! Read more

Enter the Atmosphere
This is a black or white piece of music. You either like it or you don't. And that's because it is so new and fresh and still looking to set its roots in popular acceptance. Read more
