Soundtrack

Music for the Motion Picture Into the Wild
$9.99
For individuals who are Eddie Vedder fans more than they are pearl jam fans, this soundtrack is excellent! He wrote almost all the tunes on it, played almost all the instruments, and even helped engineer and do cover art work. It's mellow, like the movie it was made for, but it's deep, reflective, full of raw emotion, and raging with passion for music-making that seems to come out of good musicians as they start to age beyond just making good show-cuts.Music for the Motion Picture Into the Wild

Twilight Soundtrack
$18.98
I love the "Twilight" soundtrack. Of course, it includes the best songs from the movie, but also works really well as a stand-alone album. The best tracks on the album, in my opinion, are "Supermassive black hole" by Muse, "Spotlight" by Mutemath, "Decode" by Paramore, and "Tremble for my beloved" by Collective Soul. These are all up-tempo and rock. I think the songs fit the movie well, especially their respective scenes. My only requests for this album are to have Rob Pattinson's other song "Let me sign" included, especially since it was featured very prominently at the climax of the movie; and I would have liked to have "Clair de lune" by Debussy as it is the only piece of music ever actually named in the Twilight novel as well as in the movie. The only other change I would make would be to move "Spotlight" to the lead off track since it has a built in introduction in the music and would have fit better at the beginning of the album instead of in the middle. All in all, I love this soundtrack and listen to it repeatedly.

Once: Music from the Motion Picture
$13.98
I have a lot of music. Probably more than I can give a proper listen to. Let's just call it a sickness I don't want to recover from. I had even given The Frames a listen back towards the beginning of their career. Nothing really prepared me for this. I saw the movie first. I never buy soundtracks and I bought this one immediately. Glen Hansard's character loses what he believes is the love of his life. He pours out his grief and and anguish in these songs. The songs he sings at night on the streets of Dublin. The days are left for songs that people recognize and have a better chance of earning some money. His music touches the heart of a Czech immigrant who's a talented musician in her own right and she helps him realize his dream of recording his music. He has his girl in London and she has a husband who didn't come to Ireland with her. Despite their commitments, there's an almost unspoken realization that true love may be standing right in front of them. Every bit of the heart, soul, warmth, humor and gentle sadness of the film is captured in the music of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Hansard is a poet and the amount of emotion that he wrings out of each and every song is incredible. Irglova is a talented musician and lyricist who's voice wraps around Hansard's perfectly. I can't recommend just a few tracks, it's all good here. if you don't come away thinking that "Falling Slowly" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, I don't know what I can do for you. Then you'll listen repeatedly to "When Your Mind's Made Up" , "Leave", "Trying To Pull Myself Away", "All The Way Down", "Once" and "Say It To Me Now". You'll find yourself seeking out The Swell Season which is Glen, Mar and members of Glen's long time and phenomenally talented band, The Frames. Then you'll turn back to The Frames themselves and memorize "Star, Star", "Pavement Tune", "Revelate", "What Happens When The Heart Just Stops", "Red Chord". 'The Stars Are Underground", "God Bless Mom", "Rent Day Blues" and a lot, lot more. Right here, you have a chance to watch your favorite movie, listen to the best soundtrack I've ever heard and acquire a couple of favorite bands. What more could you ask for?

P.S. I Love You
$18.98
I bought this CD after seeing the movie "PS I Love You" because I liked the music in the movie so much. The CD is wonderful. It has so many different styles to it yet remains cohesive at the same time. I'll be searching out some of the artists on the album to buy more of their music.
