Product Description
The music on this album is from and inspired by Paul Haggis' film CRASH. The songs play in a "continuous" form where musical genres literally collide with each other and become invisible. This is why you will hear no gaps between songs. Musical styles mix, from rock-to-rap-to-electronica-to-singer-songwriters, all in a seamless way that further proves the point that there is a common thread in all of us regardless of our preconceived musical notions.

Looking for a song title.......2007-03-06

Someone help me with the name of this song please from Crash. It plays just before Maybe Ttomorrow (while people throw wood on a torched car that the policeman ditched after accidently killing Don Cheadles brother). I believe it has some foreign lyrics and has a recurring piano chord.

two thumbs up!!.......2006-08-24

at first i really liked the 12th track since i saw the movie,
and that's the reason i bought this although i spent considerable money on shipping.
now I LOVE almost EVERY single one in it.
I really don't know why they don't import this soundtrack in Korea.

Did i miss the music?.......2006-03-15

I really liked the music in the movie, but this wasnt most of what i liked. Maybe it was a different movie. I was disappointed.

Music Inspired By A POwerhouse of a Film.......2006-03-13

'In LA, people don't touch. They're separated by glass and steel
and the only time they come into contact is by crash'. And with these words Paul Haggis tears open the box of CRASH, one of the most searingly vital and important films of the year. This is a film that explores prejudice, racism, fear, hate, bigotry, random violence and all of those barriers we people of the cities have erected to isolate ourselves from the miscegenated world in which we live. In Haggis' hands every possible form of miscommunication based on ignorance and transference of self-loathing is woven together in a story that mixes Caucasian, African American, Asia, Persian, Hispanic conflicts and lifestyles and the concurrent disruption of world views gone wrong into a pungent story of tragedy and collision.

Every character in this well-crafted script eventually confronts every other character in ways that are at times coincidental, at times, tangential, and at other times the direct result of prior confrontations. African Americans bully each other over their own prejudices, Caucasians belittle their Hispanic workers and are the first to point the finger at the 'tattooed gangsters' who in reality are innocent tradesmen, Persians terrorized on their property immediately aim their hate at other minority suspects, redneck racist policemen thrash out at African Americans in response to their own personal family demons that have eroded their outlook and extend that venom to the most innocent of the rookie cops who metamorphose into like habits. Every form of prejudice and hate is encountered and none of the characters is free from being both the perpetrator and the victim. It is as though the Golden Rule of 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you' has been hideously transformed into a reason for violence.

People left the theater stunned, tearful, informed, and incredulous, so great is the impact of this film. Much or that impact is aided by the brilliantly creative cinematography of James Muro and Dana Gonzales and by the powerful musical score by Mark Isham. Not only is Isham's score reflected in this CD, but there are also bits and pieces of music that reflect the vision of the composer, the writer, and the director and force those who have been exposed to this giant of a film to reflect. This is quite simply one of the finest films of the year by anyone's standards. For those critics who descry Haggis' lack of providing 'Redemption' for the characters, this viewer would take offense: every character is altered either tangentially, directly, or referentially by the tightly woven tapestry that is CRASH. Recommended for everyone to see, internalize, and begin to make changes on our planet. Grady Harp, March 06

Buyer Beware - Packaging Deceptive.......2006-02-22

I'm listening to this CD for the third time since I bought it this past weekend, trying to figure out why it is not what I remembered from the movie. The music is OK, although not exactly my taste. However I kept asking myself why did I like the music from the movie so much when this doesn't do much for me. Was it merely the context of a GREAT movie? From an Amazon search, I realized that there are two different (but visually very similar...same graphics, different photo) Crash (the movie) CD's... the actual Soundtrack and the "music inspired by". Whereas I have no criticism of the music itself, the packaging is extremely deceptive, and irresponsible. I will buy the "real" soundtrack and probably never listen to this again. ($15 wasted). I would also have to comment that the "inspiration" referred to on the cover is also a serious stretch of the truth. This is a pop-hip-hoppish album whereas the actual soundtrack is a Mark Isham piece... very different. And, the cover says "music from and inspired by".. which is only true on a technicality. There is only one song on this CD that is on the soundtrack. To those who knew what they were buying and like this music, more power to you. But I would imagine that I'm not alone in mistaking this CD for the actual soundtrack, as it was the only only Crash CD in the soundtrack section of my local Borders. I would encourage record labels to differentiate the graphics on two very different CD's so that consumers get what they expected. Confusion like this doesn't serve either audience.
