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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the other bloke..., 14 Jun 2005
By JP (Llanbedrgoch, Angelsey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
...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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Great, 14 Feb 2009
By Brendan O. Clarke "brendoclarke" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Abigail Mead, the composer of eight songs of this soundtrack, is the daughter of Stanley Kubrick (director). The ost has 15 tracks:
The first song is a hip-hop/techno mix of the cadences sung by Sgt Hartman in the first part of the movie, was it necessary to include it??

Songs 2 to 7 are hits from the sixties and to hear them during the movie creates a atmosphere for the movie. EG These Boots Are Made For Walking, by Nancy Sinatra and the scene in Vietnam which a prostitute is walking fits just perfectly and watch the movie without this song would have much less effect.

Song number 8 is the Marine's Hymn- a nice inclusion.

The rest of the score are the instrumental themes composed by Abigail Mead. Some of them are quiet and peaceful - Leonard; others are more aggressive - Parris Island.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some of this is cool cool but not all!, 5 Jun 2001
By A Customer
The first song which is a funky spiced up version of an american army chant is superb, and it's worth buying it just for that. There are some other songs which sparkle too, but after them the going gets pretty dim
