Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
You can always rely on Danny Boyle's movies to have decent music and The Beach doesn't disappoint even if it's unlikely to connect as extensively as the Trainspotting soundtrack. Musical co-ordinator Pete Tong has pulled out all the stops to secure exclusive tracks from major artists, and no less than seven of the numbers here have never been released before, while those that have--including UNKLE's desolate Lonely Soul with Richard Ashcroft, Barry Adamson's paranoiac Vietnam dream sequence Richard, It's Business As Usual and Moby's beats lullaby "Porcelain" from Play--are of the highest class. The new material doesn't disappoint either. Leftfield open up the album with some whiplash drums, Underworld make their customary contribution playing down frantic beats in favour of the jogging mantra "8 Ball", All Saints enjoy their best-ever moment parading along the sunkissed "Pure Shores" with William Orbit, and Sugar Ray rerecord Brian Eno and John Cale's gossamer pop number Spinning Away. Elsewhere New Order provide their first new music since the release of Republic with "Brutal", a trademark number with production from Rollo who returns with Faithless on the bubbling, mesmeric standout "Woozy". Orbital close the package with their pumped up interpretation of the Angelo Badalamenti score complete with snippets of Leonardo DiCaprio's dialogue. Life's The Beach, then you die. --Mike Pattenden

4.0 out of 5 stars A Combination Of Great New Songs!, 14 Dec 2002
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Granted, the movie was fairly exciting, but this score made me run to the store! Mostly a combination of fairly unknown singers/songwriters, except for 'Moby' ("Porcelain" is incredible), 'All Saints' ("Pure Shores" dominated the airwaves)and 'Sugar Ray', the sound is hard-edged, electronic bohemia. The digital percussion reigns high here and the bass tracks pull every song together. A combination of luxury and danger fills the mood of this collection. "Richard, It's Business As Usual" is a truly annoying track, but "Brutal" and "Lonely Soul" ends the CD with realistic maturity. Even the end track, "Beached" with DiCaprio narrating survives well, granted that musician extraordinaire, Angelo Badalamenti, pulls out all the stops on electronic music. One of the best, truly original Soundtracks in quite a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Tracks From Some Great Bands!, 7 Feb 2003
This is a great album, containing some mesmerising tracks from the likes of Leftfield, Faithless and UNKLE. Some other reviews mention that the Blur track spoils the album, although not to the standard of the likes of UNKLE, Blur are not a bad choice at all!
The highlight of the album has got to be both Woozy (Faithless) and Beached (Orbital & Badalamenti) but all the tracks have a chilled tropical feel to them representing the hidden meanings in the film well (check 'Richard, its business as usual' for the darker moments).
All in all a great album that deserves a listen!!...

4.0 out of 5 stars its a good allrounder but let down by a few tracks, 16 Jun 2000
By A Customer
why oh why was blur put on the this album. their latest stuff has been good but this track was not good. But otherwise a cracking album. Even All Saints could pull off a good song. The best are leftfield, faithless and sugar ray while asian dub foundation have slipped up a bit. This album is ideal for chillin out by a pool or a beach with a nice cool bottle of lager or bacardi breezer but that will probably be hard to find in ''sunny'' england. But still its great to listen to. Buy the album, turn the volume up and just chill.

Although the majority of tracks are great, there are a few letdowns by Blur, Asian Dub Foundation, and Mory Kante. I must admit though that the first track is brilliant. Read more
