Dreamy and Sentimental Mood.......2006-09-01

The mood throughout this album is fairly consistent and dreamy with edge in places, like in Hooverphonics beautiful 2Wicky: "I can hurt you, you can hurt me...better be sure before you leave me for another one."

The passionate "Glory Box" explores "just wanting to be a woman" with music that almost purrs in places, deliciously beautiful. Looking through the new frame of being in love, the pictures awaken in passionate longings for a "reason to love you."

Stevie Wonder's funky "Superstition" lightens the mood and then Nina Simone slips you into dreams in "My Baby Just Cares for Me." Her silky sweet voice creates a mood of tranquility and nostalgia. The mood becomes even more nostalgic in "I'll be Seeing You." These three songs are perfect in this order.

Soft and dreamy, Mazzy Star's voice captures you completely. "You Won't Fall" is guitar driven and changes the imaginative scenery into wide open spaces. Before you were feeling romantic and now the music turns a little more edgy. "I Need Love" has an element of danger and adventure.

I would have ended this album with The Pointers Sisters "Happiness" to really wake you up after the dreamy sentimental journey.

College years.......2006-04-04

Back in college my girlfriend and I would listen to this tremendous album alot, especially with puff the magic dragon. Saw the movie about 8 yrs. after hearing the soundtrack about 100 times; it's not too bad either. Great chill out music, and terrific compilation of artists. Portishead was an exceptional find due to this album, she is just fantastic. Hooverphonic is also a cool techno-style floaty group discovered here. If you like these two, try out Sneaker Pimps "Splinter" or "Bloodsport" for chill, somber tunes.

Great Collection!.......2005-02-22

My only comment: I would have preferred the inclusion of Roland Gift's song and skip the Liz Phair ("Rocket Boy"). The Liz Phair was a bit jarring in the midst of the dreamy mood of the rest of the collection. Nevertheless, it's a lovely album and so is the movie.

Missing.......2004-09-13

This is not only an amazing soundtrack, but it's the perfect backdrop for those intimate moments. Romantic and sexy, the songs are totally groove-able and there's never an irritating transition. I lost my copy and have been hoping to find it (or recover it from an ex) before I'm forced to buy a new one, but let's face it -- I'm breaking down without it. The songs get into your head and move you, and I'm a mess without them. My rating of 5 stars means it's an album that won't leave your discplayer for days.

A Fabulous Eclectic Mix Of Many Music Genres!cl.......2004-04-01

A fabulous soundtrack but, honestly...with Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Stevie Wonder, Liz Phair, John Lee Hooker, Mazzy Star,and Portishead, just try going wrong with that lineup! This is an eclectic mix of ALL different music genres. Blues, jazz, grunge rock, pop, alternative, R&B. I never get tired of listening to this soundtrack and neither will you. The movie is GREAT TOO, by the way...
