Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Stan Kubrick's 1987 take on Vietnam is a strange disorientating "wriggle" through film genres and human psyche alike, and the movie ends up as a kind of docu-drama road movie where the protagonists are being wasted one by one. The original score is by Abigail Mead. Admittedly she only had to come up with a few, eerie underscore themes, but they do their job, although unaided by images her mid-1980s samples sound a bit dated. The title track is a groovy medley over the Marine training camp's hilarious marching songs--a nice header to the album. The "Ruins" theme is an illustrative piece of film music, and "Sniper" a classic emotion-trigger. The soundtrack's covers-inventory has obvious post punk characteristics, the only music from the period is the raunchy "I Like It Like That". Stones classic "Paint It Black" never made it through the copyright trap, which is a shame, but lovers of grunge can enjoy "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen and "Woolly Bully" all the same. The sickeningly sentimental pro-war Country smoocher "Hello Vietnam" by Johnny Wright, and Nancy Sinatra's reminder to the "gooks" what's in store, "These Boots Are Made For Walking", illustrate Kubrick's dark sense of humour, as does the Dixie Cups' "Chapel Of Love". --Yngvil V.G.

...because this is a superb collection of songs, absolutely perfectly complementing each other and absolutely classic. The cd finishes with the haunting and chillingly ambient raw instrumental overlying the last sections of the movie. Beautifuly created but not one for listening to with the lights off. A fantastic score for a fantastic movie.

The first 8 songs are brilliant after that it is only "film music", but it was a bargain anywhere. No Problems

I was a bit reluctant to order this at first as many of these type of "soundtrack" disks seem to dissapoint, this one however was a nice change. the first track made me smile as the Sgt shouted out his orders. well worth adding to your collection.
