5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Great Film, Great Soundtrack 3 Dec 2003
Format:Audio CD
What next? Everything I buy with the words "Morvern Callar" on it proves to be exceptionally good - were they to bring out washing machines or toothbrushes so named, I'd rush out and buy them.

This is a phenomenal soundtrack album - superbly varied with stonking classics and many changes of mood. Highlights include the Velvet Underground, Boards of Canada and Ween, with a couple of cracking tracks from Can thrown in. Totally and utterly superb.

I love buying soundtracks to films I've never seen; that's what all good albums should feel like and this was certainly no disappointment.

The perfect compilation is something I've striven after through the years; to suprise and enchant, to lift yet lower, to tease and toy with - but still, above all, deliver. The boys and girls at Warp have done it here with beautiful whimsy. This album offers a wondrous and mystical soundscape journey the film can't possibly live up to...

Personally, I was intrigued by the Can and now ex-Can man Holger Czukay offerings as I'd heard snitches of their stuff before. If that's your tack then here's a cheeky little starter for you; I somehow expected only instrumental stuff - WRONG!! - spool straight to Holger Czukay's Cool In The Pool and lay back to some kooky popfunk that's frighteningly addictive...

If you're an Amazon-junky like me - hopelessly dependent on this SuperPortal to stop the musical rot known as provincial Europe - then this album did what a good compo should: led me straight back to QUICKSEARCH to check out my new findings: check it!

Let's get cool...

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the movie 15 Mar 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
It was an average film made more memorable by an unusually discerning soundtrack containing some classics you may already own and some nuggets you may not. German avant-rockers Can make several appearances by donating two of their more upbeat classics ('I want more' and the utterly brilliant 'Spoon') and some solo material (Holger Czukay's wigged-out 'Cool in the Pool' and the deranged, fugged-up synths of 'Fragrance' - which makes a fitting backdrop to a heavy partying session in the film). The ambient material is also of a high standard: Aphex Twin in a more refrained mood with the serene 'Goon Gumpas' and the spookily infantile clicks and gurgles of 'Nannou'; while Boards of Canda offer the dark and brooding 'Everything you do is a balloon' (not one of their best). Sterelob and Broadcast both weigh in with slightly art-school offerings, the latter nowhere close to their highly commendable album 'The Ha-Ha Sound'. Ultimately, though, it is Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's cult masterpiece 'Some Velvet Morning' that steals the show (both on the soundtrack and in the film itself), possibly the best (and strangest) duet ever written, and worth the CD price alone. Another honourable mention goes to The Velvet Underground's 'I'm Sticking With You', made infinitely more menacing through its association with the film (see for yourself for details). Warp should be responsible for more soundtracks.
