Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The much anticipated follow-up to Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, Magnolia features a specially orchestrated soundtrack, largely written and performed by Aimee Mann ('Til Tuesday member and sadly overlooked solo artist). Mann's voice has always been a suitable vehicle for conveying emotional turmoil and indelible sadness, and several tracks here ("Build That Wall", "You Do", "Driving Sideways") do so with the rich melodicism that informs her best work. Producer Jon Brion's sprightly horn arrangements for "Momentum" are an unexpected (though not completely unwelcome) splash of cold water. Only Mann's cover of the Harry Nilsson-penned Three Dog Night hit "One" backfires, as it simply doesn't deliver the same effective climax as the original. The two Supertramp tracks from their Breakfast in America LP tacked on at album's end are incongruous; but for anyone with an interest in Mann's melodic song writing, there are eight worthy originals waiting for you. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars Aimee Mann hits the spot, 28 Mar 2000
Reading the album summary I am dismayed by the author's dismisal of Mann's version of 'One'. I have not heard the original (will now seek to do so), but the fact remains for me that it fitted perfectly with the tone, emotion and feeling of the film. The use of Mann's voice throughout the film also intensified the moments which the music accompanied and served to unite the feelings of all the disparate story antagonists. Masterful music - and that comes from me, whose favourite CD of the moment is Moby's Play. See the film and buy the music. They have to go together.
