Amazon.com essential recording

This disc combines two of Carter Burwell's best soundtrack efforts for the Coen brothers, Fargo and Barton Fink. It's a study of contrasts: Fargo is filled with somber string arrangements and a full orchestra playing in minor keys. Barton Fink, meanwhile, sounds more adventurous with offbeat instrumentation (a very gamelan-sounding keyboard prevails) and a simple score that Burwell recycles into different arrangements. Fargo, especially, sounds dark and reserved--"The Ozone" and "Chewing on It" are both underlined by melancholy--while Barton Fink</I> is just as lyrical but more mysterious. Many of these tracks are short--the two soundtracks together add up to less than 45 minutes of music--but all are poignant, and some of Burwell's best. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Chilling.....................2003-10-27

I saw Fargo in the theater and was immmediately struck by the music that perfectly accompanied the film. The opening track I don't think I will ever forget. Plus "Ozone" is a fantastic song, I just wish it was longer. The Barton Fink material isn't as great, but also isn't as prevelent on the disc. I love listening to this while doing homework or just writing. The music sets the tone and the atmosphere.....the album just cannot be played in the summer.

5 out of 5 stars Grade A mood music........2002-08-30

Writers will love these two scores, particularly the one for Fargo. Enjoy writing horror, morbid, or gothic tales? Than this is the perfect cd to write to. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Burwell's pure surreal winter glorification for us in hell.......1998-12-13

Rich cool music without any limits. It's gothic and modern at the same time. It spans Fargo and Findadia in an earthy genuity.
