Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Music from the OC Mix 1 is strangely unique for a TV soundtrack compilation. Often, US teen dramas don't put a great deal of thought into the show's music, relying heavily on bland, melodramatic MOR (think Paula Cole and Dawson's Creek). However, a glance through the track listing reveals a host of acclaimed indie guitar bands from around the world. Goodtime retro acts such as Jet ("Move On") and the Dandy Warhols ("We Used to be Friends") in addition to more downbeat artists such as Turin Brakes ("Rain City"), South ("Paint the Silence") and the Doves ("Caught By the Rain") make for an eclectic mix of new music. Music from the OC Mix 1 serves well as the soundtrack to a hit show but more importantly, it's a great introduction to good bands who many may not have been discovered without it. --David Trueman

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy the ride, 5 Jul 2005
By J. Taylor (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I tend to buy, and judge, compilation albums on what I can learn from them. If there are a few bands I've heard of, and the rest is new I'll see potential for introductions to new things. I bought this album as a guilty pleasure, not expecting too much.

It's provided ample opportunity to wander through previously uncharted territory, not just stopping at those on the album but similar bands. It is clear that the people who put this compilation together know exactly what they are doing.

The compilation works as a whole, having something that caters for most emotions but not feeling disjointed. With each listen, I notice different songs depending on my mood. Joseph Arthur and Alexi Murdoch, in particular, offered some excellent songs. I have bought a few albums of the artists on the compilation, and discovered more artists through those albums, like Eastmountainsouth (Peter Adams plays on Alexi Murdoch's EP).

What began as a guilty pleasure has opened up a range of music, some of which hasn't had much (if any) UK release. Perhaps they are better known in America but a lot had the feel of undiscovered gems (Murdoch's was a debut). The Australians, Jet, may have been new to many, and Joseph Arthur, on the British Realworld label at the time, too. The more known bands, such as Finley Quaye and William Orbit, or Eels had lesser known tracks, so the whole thing was an accessible, uplifting and very interesting experience.

I think many people wouldn't have expected such a mainstream TV show to unearth so much interesting music and provoke interest beyond the bands on the compliation but they clearly know they're onto a good thing, since another three have been released. I hope this isn't overkill but so far very good. A great introduction to new music for me, and the ride is still going.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent album even more so if you love the show!, 16 Nov 2004
By C. Okpalugo "Disco Queen" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love the show and when the DVD box set came out I decided to get this at the same time. I can tell you now that I have had more usage out of the CD than the DVD (not to say that the DVD isn't good - it is). There is something about the CD that I just love, you can sit, chill and listen. Even if you haven't watched the show you will definitely appreciate the music. If you do watch the show then the songs will definitely have more meaning as it will remind you of bits from the show.

All in all - a great album and I can't wait to listen to Mix 2 and 3!

5.0 out of 5 stars The OC rocks!, 25 May 2004
By A Customer
What can I say? If you haven't already bought this, what are you waiting for? This is the perfect summer soundtrack to suit your every need. It encompasses chilled out songs for lazy sunbathing days like 'Honey and the Moon', 'Dice' and 'Orange Sky', cool tracks like 'California', 'The Way We Get By' and the best track EVER, 'We Used To Be Friends'. You'll be jumping up and down, I guarantee. If you like the OC, you'll love this, and even if you're crazy enough not to be obsessed by the OC, this CD will convert you. Amazing.
