5 out of 5 stars Donnie Darko UK Import : BUY IT!!!.......2007-05-12

Just bought this 2 CD import item. Was it costly? Sure: approx. $25. BUT, given that I nearly paid $20 for the US version which DOES NOT include the first CD, it was well worth it.
Delivery: SURPRISINGLY SUPER-FAST by USPS (it only took two or three days standard shipping)
Condition: Still wrapped in plastic.
Music: *tee hee* If you watched the movie, then you know what the music will sound like: it's the movie soundtrack (you know, the awesome soundtrack that both reminds the viewer of the 80's and also creates a haunting backdrop for the movie's themes). Typically here in the US that means only one or two of the good songs and the rest is the score. The UK version? ALL of the good songs and the entire score (that's why it's 2 discs).
Bad part? Not offered in US retail stores (i.e. you can only buy this online or in an Import CD store.

5 out of 5 stars Mad World - the one you are looking for.......2007-01-19

It's here, two versions of Mad World by Michael Andrews, lovely piano intro and Neil Young type vocals. Buy it!

5 out of 5 stars It took 'em long enough, but it was worth the wait!.......2006-11-06

My friends and I have been waiting for this for years--finally, the real 80's music soundtrack for Donnie Darko, arguably one of the best soundtracks out there!

Probably the only negative comment I have is that they included the music from the motivational videos, something that I could have done without.

Thank you for putting this soundtrack out!!

4 out of 5 stars Donhnie Darko Import Soundtrack well done.......2006-08-24

The import edition of the Donnie Darko soundtrack is two discs. One is the actual pop songs, and some classical works, which are all very good and includes the remake of Tears for Fears "Mad World." The second disc is the instrumental score, with two versions of "Mad World," included as well. The instrumental score is very dark and omenous, and the two disc set is a nice collectible piece of music that I highly reccommend. The price is a bit high, at over $30, but if you are any type of a fan of the movie, or a soundtrack collector, this album is for you.

4 out of 5 stars good stuff.......2006-08-10

i wish i could have bought just disc one... because disc two is mostly the instrumental stuff, which is excellent, but i don't really plan on listening to it over and over. disc one is good, although there are a few songs i skip through.

The best film I saw at Sundance this year."

5 out of 5 stars Just love the kids.......2006-12-23

I was the vocal coach for the kids in this movie and I just love them both. A brilliant piece of work taken from an unusual position.

5 out of 5 stars my life wouldn't be the same without this album........2006-10-21

i'm not one to go and buy soundtracks of movies, but something really stuck out about this soundtrack to me. I change music moods almost every other day so my ipod music list is always changing but, i can tell you one album that has never left my ipod, is this album. It's my everyday music, it's music i walk my dogs in the park to, wait for the 20 bus to, walk to work type of music. It's the music i put on at home and relax to or cleaning. It's my in love with life music.

i would highly suggest this music if you are one that escapes through music. once you put on your headphones all the noises of the city disappear and the park turns into something magical, life turns into something magical when i listen to this album!!!

5 out of 5 stars :( = )) <>((.......2006-02-28

The World will be a better place when movies like this start to be showed in Schools and churches.

Everybody suffer. Every person struggles to scape unhappiness and isolation. And when communication doesn't happen through openness, trust and affection, some kind of monster inside is awaken hungry for acts of transgression.

Life and freedom will happen, disregarding repression and fear. And repression and fear will make life, the monster, voracious and brutal.

Watching this movie is like watching somebody eating raw meat or trash. What is not a crime, but almost is, for being so distant of how humans are expected to live. It's uncomfortable to look at, but if you really see is enlightening.

One may easily fall in the trap of living as homeless in one's own home. Because what makes a home is affection, and if there is no affection, there is no home, in the end, no human, no life. And everything comes down to s**t, to poison, to ")) <>(( .forever" This is all the math own needs to know.

5 out of 5 stars Great Movie, and Great SoundTrack!!.......2005-09-19

The movie was simply wonderful and I reccommend that you go and see it, I saw it 3 times; and then came to the conclusion at the rate I was paying to see the movie I could just wait and purchase the movie and watch it all the time.

The Soundtrack fit perfectly with the storyline, and reactions in the movie and the emotions of the characters. The music is very inspiring and very indie.

I def. agree with the first reviewer that this music is something good to listen to when your writing or doing something creative.

It's def. good mellow music, and I def. think I'm burning a hole in my CD because I've been listening to it so much.

"When I was little I had a theory that you should draw a picture using all the colors except yellow, making it as good as you could, and then, finally, after giving up, you should add yellow. And yellow had the magical property of instantly making everything come alive, it was light itself, and thus the picture came into being. Mike Andrews' score was the yellow for this movie." - Miranda July, May 7, 2005

FOREVER

As I sat in the theatre watching Me and You and Everyone We Know, I was instantly fascinated by the wistful sounding score delivered by Mike Andrews in the opening minutes of the film. Andrews, of course, is the same musician responsible for the equally great Donnie Darko soundtrack from several years back. Throughout the 90 minutes of Me and You and Everyone We Know, he delivers patches of fragile sounds that enhance the quirkiness of Miranda July's direction, imagery, and dialogue, and it's quite possibly one of the best score/cinematic combinations in several years.

In the same way Sofia Coppola improved Lost in Translation with her stellar music choices, Andrews, along with help from July, has followed suit with compositions that don't compete, but rather enhance the quality of the film. Since Andrews' music is so subdued, it never really forces its way onto the viewer. But while listening to the soundtrack in the car or at home, it becomes a much different affair. There is a gift of elation that presents itself to the every day tedium of life and a sense of careless daydream that we could all certainly use.

"The Opening" begins with dialogue from the film, spoken by Miranda July. It's a glimpse into the quirky behavior that takes place in the film with July's character, Christine Jesperson, having a fictitious conversation with her imaginary lover. As the conversation develops, the song opens up with the first moments of Andrews' minimal electronic contributions. The gallop of subtle drum beats with the interaction of pensive sounding keyboards is the modus operandi for this and the rest of Andrews' songs.

There are a few guest appearances on the soundtrack, such as the often overlooked Cody Chesnutt. Along with Chesnutt, Spiritualized and Virginia Astley also have their brief appearance. Chesnutt's "5 On a Joyride" is the obvious favorite of the three, while "Any Way That You Want Me" from Spiritualized is also a very welcome addition to the non-score songs. These three, while potentially unnecessary to the overall flow of the score, give the listener a few moments to step back from Andrews' music.

With such a great music companion at its side, it's hard not to enjoy a film like Me and You and Everyone We Know. I appreciate the attention to detail that July put into constructing a soundtrack that doesn't compete with her film. Too many times directors simply take some of their favorite songs and slap them together for the purpose of having something in their film. Only on rare occasion is the soundtrack portion of the film composition looked at as something that adds to the final product. Miranda July and Mike Andrews have certainly succeeded here by creating one of the best soundtracks of the year.
