Directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez spent $53 million to pay loving tribute to the vintage hundred-thousand-dollar exploitation fare that inspired Grindhouse's two-movies-for-the-price-of-one thrill ride. Tarantino's half of the exercise (which also includes Robert Rodriguez's self-scored Planet Terror) features another effusive slice of the director's eclectic musical sensibility to underscore its manic tale of stuntman/psycho-killer Kurt Russell and his muscle-car-fueled exploits. Tarantino works from a familiar formula that variously mixes evocative, semi-obscure Italian film cues from Morricone and Dinaggio, contrasting slices of '60s catalog from the great Jack Nitzsche and Brit Invasion also-rans DDDBM&T and some '70s fodder from both ends of the Top 40 via Smith and T. Rex, also stirring in a savory mid-disc run of R&B that stretches from PG&E's upbeat read of "Stagger Lee" through more familiar fare from Joe Tex, Eddie Floyd, and the Coasters. The director also serves up a couple of those deliciously off-kilter obscurities that have come to be his musical trademark as a coda: Eddie Beram's thumping "Riot in Thunder Alley" and April March's infectious ditz-pop take on Serge Gainsbourg's loopy "Chick Habit." --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars DO IT AGAIN!.......2007-06-03

The movies were great - I went to see it 4 times and I am digging in my house to go see it again!

The sounds tracks are just as good - check out the book - it's has the dialogs in it..............Useless talent# 10!

5 out of 5 stars Astounding.......2007-06-03

One listen and you're hooked. At least 6 songs that are fantastic that there's no way I would have encountered without QT. Thanks man, should I expect any less?

4 out of 5 stars Coasters question.......2007-05-31

Another entertaining soundtrack by Tarantino - well worth having. I'm curious about the version of the Coasters' "Down In Mexico" though. It's very different from the one on "Very Best of the Coasters." I can't tell if it's just remixed or another version entirely. I hope some R&B expert can comment on that. Finally, though, another great collection of very diverse sounds.

5 out of 5 stars Once Again.......2007-05-15

Once again, Tarantino offers us a soundtrack with "dialogue clips" that we will listen to over and over again. Buy it. It belongs in your "Tarantino" soundtrack collection right next to all the others.

5 out of 5 stars Main Title Music is from "Village Of the Giants" (1965).......2007-05-13

Although its called "The Last Race" the opening title music is actually from the old film "Village Of the Giants" (1965) with Tommy Kirk Beau Bridges and Joy Harmon (she washed the car in "Cool Hand Luke") which also had a Jack Nitsche score...don't know if its re-recorded or just the original.

Aside from a multimedia pastiche he did for England's millennium celebration, this soundtrack for Philip Noyce's film marks Peter Gabriel's first full slate of original recordings in nearly a decade. In the meantime, Gabriel's globally ambitious Real World musical mini-empire has taken precedence; the knowledge the musician gleaned there is immediately apparent in his film cues here. While the booming electro-tribal rhythms of previous Gabriel work come instantly into play, there's a sense of spacious mystery that's perfectly emblematic of the story's Australian outback setting. Gabriel's penchant for dense aural construction gives way to an ambient soundscape punctuated by Aboriginal percussion, didgeridoo, and bird song, and occasionally washed over by lolling tides of synth and samples. It's an atmosphere that, like the Aboriginal world it evokes, is nearly devoid of traditional melody, but one infused with a gripping, almost subliminal power. "Cloudless" then brings in haunting indigenous voices as well, intertwining them with a wordless, Westernized choral to emphasize Gabriel's compelling world music vision. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Ancient and Modern.......2006-12-27

If you are expecting a Peter Gabriel Rock album, stay away from this CD.
Forget all the hits you already know from PG. and listen to this great Soundtrack.
Inspired by field recordings collected in areas as diverse as the Senegal, Egypt, Turkey and other places, Long Walk Home achieves a cumulative effect of all Gabriel's fascination with world music, delivering fantastic fusion of ancient and modern sounds ultimately transcends both geography and time.
As far as I am concerned, this is Gabriel's best film work, deserving a serious consideration, as his finest music of any kind.
This is one of my favorite Soundtrack music in my collection.

4 out of 5 stars Once again, Gabriel shines.......2006-07-05

Gabriel's future works will always be compared to 1989's "LAST TEMPTATION...." and this one clearly stands close. "Gracie's Recapture," "The Return," and "Running..." were remixed together for the first movie preview of Gibson's "THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST" and would probably serve as a better score to that movie (no offense to Debney) than to this one. Still, Gabriel's score does work for this film, though only a handfull of tracks will be listened to repeatedly.

5 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for Rabbit Proof Fence.......2006-02-01

This is one of my most favourite scores of all time, and I own over 400 movie scores. What Peter Gabriel has done here as a composer is infuse a film with a vibrancy and heart breaking power that it wouldn't have had otherwise. It's such a mature and wonderful piece of work, one has to wonder why Gabriel doesn't compose more films.
Rabbit Proof Fence has been labelled as pointless background music by some. Hogwash. Yes, there are a few stretches on this album that are meant to be quiet, unobtrusive moments of background underscore, but to label this score as such is denying it of the power this CD contains. There are moments in this score, like Running to the Rain, Gracie's Rapture, and The Return that are so beautiful, so stunning, so tragic, so uplifting (this isn't a contradiction - you'll understand when you hear it yourself) that it's impossible to express it's greatness in words. And then the two songs at the end, Sky Blue Reprise and Cloudless, take you up to heights that few pieces of music can.
Gabriel here proves that he's more than a great singer/songwriter, as he did with Passion and to a lesser extent, Birdy; he's also one of the strongest film composers out there. This is truly one of the best CD's I own. To listen to it is a spiritual experience for me as the music picks up and soars to beautiful heights. I'm serious. This is wonderful stuff. Pick it up as soon as you can. I promise you won't be sorry.

4 out of 5 stars interesting connections.......2005-12-21

One thing I found particularly interesting is this:
Peter Gabriel did the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's 1989 film "The Last Temptation of Christ", which was of course entitled, "Passion".

Is it just coincidence, then, that "Running to the Rain", one of the best songs on "Long Walk Home", obviously also by Peter Gabriel, was clearly used as the main theme to advertise the theatrical television trailers of Mel Gibson's recent film "The Passion"? Am I the only one who noticed this at the time??

Also, while watching "The Passion" in the theater, I was absolutely convinced that Peter Gabriel had done the soundtrack to that film as well, since it sounded so startlingly similar to both "Long Walk Home" and "Passion". seems there was quite a lot of "borrowing" going on with John Debney's composing methods and inspirations... hmm..

anyway, this is a great album. very contemplative and spacious. not as fast paced or rhythmic as Passion, but fits the atmosphere and theme of "Rabbit Proof Fence" quite well.

5 out of 5 stars A masterpiece.......2004-09-15

First heard elements of this composition on the pre-marketed "Passion of the Christ" trailer released by Icon Films in late 2003, prior to Newmarket sponsorship.
The music in many of these tracks will bring one to tears, and musically there are fewer more talented than Peter Gabriel. His skill beams thru in this pensive, dark, and triumphant film score. A must-have for those who appreciate modern classics.

Set against the exotic backdrop of kidnapped overseas American business executives and the insurance company's professional "risk management" specialists who free them, Proof of Life arguably generated most of its publicity for the tempestuous off-screen romance of stars Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe. Lost in the celebrity press and mixed reviews was another solid musical effort from Danny Elfman, whose heavily synthesized score evokes everything from Tangerine Dream's pioneering Sorcerer score to Latin flavors and ethnic percussion and winds in just its main title alone. The textures here range from a solo acoustic guitar set against tense, complex synthesized rhythms to quiet piano and symphony passages. One senses that Elfman strived earnestly to create a fresh sonic atmosphere, even if the filmmakers were less successful in their efforts. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Not too full of life - listen for proof.......2002-12-28

This is a different sounding Danny Elfman score that is not one of his best, even though it is not that bad. For the most part, the music is full of synth loops and a small orchestra. The best track is the first one "Main Title", with plenty of low brass sounds, string accents, heavy percussion sounds, and plenty of electronic noises. Other tracks such as "Bullet in the Head", "Escape", and "The Rescue" contain these same sounds in them. Some Spanish guitar sounds, representing the setting of the film, are found in "The Hostage Game" and "Plane to Catch", along with the synths and percussion. Tracks such as "Alice Breaks Down", "The Miscarriage" and "The Finale" are softer and not as noisy as the others and contain a great solo piano part. "Bullet in the Head" is one of the darkest tracks in the score and "The Miscarriage" is full of sad string lines and piano. "Escape" is an ominous track with drum hits that segues into brass calls. "The Rescue" contains an assortment of percussion, such as the anvil that James Horner and Don Davis like to use, and plenty of strings. Overall, not the best music that has come from Danny Elfman, but it sounds great in the film. By itself, the music is suited for a background listening, not something that really grabs you and makes you turn your head. A decent score nonetheless.

5 out of 5 stars Planet of the Apes in the Jungle!.......2002-08-30

The first track has those sounds that remind me of jungle music and when the action comes along it sounds slightly similar to Elfman's Planet of the Apes score, but I like the way it sounds here better. The electronic rhythm in the music works great with the music as well. But there is more than just action/tense music to this soundtrack. There are tracks of the softer piano and strings as well (most notably are the sixth and ninth tracks).

2 out of 5 stars Van Morrison song.......2002-07-07

The Van Morrison song is called, "I'll Be You Lover Too" from the alblum, "His Band and the Street Choir"

5 out of 5 stars Feel the movie in music.......2005-10-09

This soundtrack is so far one of my favorite, listening it all the time. It still bring me as much emotion as the Movie. A great success in the selection of the musics illustrating the story...

5 out of 5 stars Magical!.......2005-10-05

Ever since the day I downloaded the piece "Morgan-Amor Tristis" I knew I would love whatever CD came with it. I was 100% correct. This album contains songs that are so breathtakingly gorgeous I had to stop whatever I was doing just to listen to them.
Of course, as I mentioned earlier, "Morgan-Amor Tristis" Is the jewel of this CD, but I found the choral pieces to be equaly beautiful. "Dea Cantat- The Goddess Sings" is the second piece song as a solo with no instrumentation. The vocalist carries the song beautifuly and creates a simplistic joy.
Towards the end, the song "Cora de Dea- Voices of Goddess" (an instrumental and full choral version of "Dea Cantat") gives us a fitting finale.
I also enjoyed the songs "Celestin- Seditianis Auctor" and "Crystallus Malus- Dark Shrine" for their sense of hidden darkness and despare.
ANd finally the song "Spring Unchanged" brought with it the perfect sense of the season and all the characters.
This was my first order with Amazon and so I didn't know when to expect the Cd. To my delight, it arrived in less than four days! Thank you sooooo much!
This is a great CD. For all manga and anime lovers, this is a must have!

5 out of 5 stars A worthy soundtrack to the movie.......2005-05-15

I bought this soundtrack CD right after I watched the movie on DVD. I enjoy the soundtrack as much as the movie. The orchestral pieces are particularly memorable. I had it literally playing for days as background music on my computer. It is still one of the few soundtrack CDs that I play regularly.

5 out of 5 stars For your information.......2005-01-21

For your information, Nobuo Uematsu, the pioneer in gaming music of Final Fantasy, was involved in AMG movie soundtrack. So you can expect the best of the best and this is really an album of masterpiece with emotions.

If you like Michael Nyman or Philip Glass, pick up this album. Warbeck has composed an energetic, driving main theme, which repeats numerous times in subtle variations, as well as lovely pieces for the more quiet moments of the film. The final 7 min track is the standout of the album, one of the best so far this year.

5 out of 5 stars brilliant music.......2005-09-27

Yesterday i saw the movie with a friend. It was such a moving one that, once again, i experienced the type of shock from "a beautiful mind". Similar storytelling and similar story, even the music from these two movies share a lot of similarities. What impressed me most are those short piano works as nice add-ons to show catherine's ambivalent feelings about her dad and her own struggles. there are also works from mozart towards the end of the film that sums up the whole story nicely.

    Fun tunes such as the Austin Powers score and even Misiriou from Pulp Fiction lose their recognizable sound when played by an orchestra of extremely low quality. Personally, this sounded like a slightly enhanced MIDI recording. Avoid at all costs.

    I really enjoyed this score. It captures mood and feeling and I really love that. The score to a movie should make us "feel" what is happening. This one does that and more. It is always an added bonus when I listen to a soundtrack and it plays the movie over in my head. Peter Gabriel is awesome at doing that. I would suggest this for anyone who is moved by film music, but especially to those who believe that the soundtrack tells its own secret version of a story only known by the composer and your imagination.

    5 out of 5 stars Layers and layers of sound..........2006-01-17

    Gabriel doesn't disappoint his fans or anyone else who is willing to step into the circle where his music can be heard. Almost two years after "OVO" PG offered yet another score. He had previously done an outstanding work -his best in my opinion- with "Passion," the music to the Scorcese movie "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Birdy" the soundtrack to the movie of the same name, directed by Alan Parker. The music to "Rabbit Proof Fence" is, like its predecessors, a highly charged ethnic album, where Gabriel blends influences from several corners of the world, including this time also samples from aboriginal Australian tribes in the closing tracks.

    The album is packed with layers and layers of sound, but the two most remarkable moments in it are, without any doubt, "Running To The Rain" (whose theme is repeated throughout the album) and the three-part track "The Return," both of which promise to give you Gabriel's "shiver," that same sensation you felt when you "experienced" songs such as "It Is Accomplished," "Bread and Wine" (Passion) and "Wallflower" (Security) in the past.

    Peter Gabriel is an all around incredible man who makes delicate, yet somehow very intense music so it seems redundant to state that this album contains inspiring, beautiful music. If you are a lover of the greater pleasures in life, pick this CD up and chill.

    5 out of 5 stars If You Love Peter's "Passion"...........2002-05-17

    "Rabbit Proof Fence" is the new Australian film by Philip Noyce, telling the true story of three aboriginal girls who are kidnapped from their home in order to be sold as slave workers. But the three girls escape, and must travel alongside a 1500 mile-long "rabbit proof" fence that stretches across the Australian outback in order to get home. Peter Gabriel's new soundtrack album for the film, appropriately titled "The Long Walk Home," is a beautiful instrumental album that picks up where his classic previous instrumental album, "Passion: Music From The Last Temptation Of Christ," left off. This is a mostly quieter soundtrack album than "Passion," but it's no less powerful. Gabriel infuses traditional Australian musical elements to the soundtrack's aural soundscapes, such as didgeridoo and tribal chant. He plays various keyboards, and also pitches in on background vocals for a couple of tracks. Credit must also be given to guest artists The Blind Boys Of Alabama, who contribute memorable, haunting vocals to the equally-haunting tracks, "Ngankarrparni," & "Cloudless."While the long wait continues for the new "proper" solo album from Gabriel--10 years now--"The Long Walk Home: Music From The Rabbit Proof Fence" is another incredible, essential "stop-gap" Peter Gabriel album to add to your collection, the other being the import-only "OVO" from 2000. Filled with an amazing lushness & atmosphere, "The Long Walk Home," like "OVO," should succeed in holding you over until the new Gabriel album is *finally* released later this year. Seriously, has this brilliant man ever recorded a bad disc? Not to my ears. :-)

      5 out of 5 stars A soundtrack that stands on its own........2002-05-14

      Peter Gabriel has long been a favorite artist of mine. He has been consistently willing to innovate in ways that are both highly successful and still accessible to the mass market. Each album seems to have broken new ground in some fashion but never were the ties to previous efforts lost!

      His soundtracks are similar.

      The first soundtrack, Birdy, borrowed heavily from previous work, yet mixed it together to achieve a highly evocative, sometimes frighteningly dark/intense, soundtrack that works just as well as a solo piece of music.

      His second sountrack, Passion, is an absolute masterpiece. While continuing the artful and often complex instrumental soundscapes omnipresent throughout his work, Gabriel added music from the indigenous artists of the film's setting. The end result is breathtaking. I dare anyone to sit down and listen to Passion through a good stereo out a decent volume in a dark room without becoming completely absorbed in the music. A masterpiece.

      Rabbit Proof Fence / Long Walk Home continues in this tradition. The music is often dark and of a more Gabriel-esque instrumental nature as that found on Birdy. However, the album is rife with material performed by various Australian musicians.

      Excellent stuff. Stands on its own. Every PG fan should own it and a lot of folks not familiar with his work will likely find this to be a good entry point.

      3 out of 5 stars Four and a Half Lunar Cycles...That Long?.......2002-05-03

      While I was initially enthused about the idea of PG creating another film score, I have to admit my disappointment in this project. Unlike his previous efforts Birdy and Passion, where the music stands on its own as an album, Long Walk Home lacks a great deal in musicality. The songs bear more of a semblance to traditional film scores, i.e. short clips of music that fade in and out. The songs here, while they have great potential, are never fully developed in the way the tracks for Passion are. They give one the impression that they have been edited down from their original form. The musical motif's are too repetitive and over-used, blending all the songs into one long composition which, although interesting in their cohesiveness, detract from the uniqueness of each song.

      The most disheartening aspect of this album is the obvious recycling of "The Nest That Sailed the Sky" from OvO to construct "A Sense of Home". Similar to Birdy in that respect, one would hope that after nearly ten years of inactivity PG would have more tracks lying around to work with.

      There are some very bright spots on the album, including "Moodoo's Secret" and "Ngankarrparni" featuring guest vocals from The Blind Boys of Alabama. It was also very touching to see that PG incorporated a vocal performance from the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. But overall the songs on this album sound like outtakes from Passion. A rather disappointing follow-up to the remarkable OvO album(s) one can only hope that it suggests PG was putting most of his effort into UP, which we all hope will come out on its projected September release date. It is definitely haunting though, and entices the listener to go out and see the film.

      4 out of 5 stars another soundtrack triumph for gabriel.......2002-04-23

      Peter Gabriel's film scores are evocative, richly produced, and always give the listener (and film viewer) a sense of place and history, rather than just layering on some symphonic score meant to jar a viewer's emotions one way or the other. His latest effort, Rabbit Proof Fence (an Australian film from director Philip Noyce scheduled to hit the U.S. this summer) is every bit as rhythmic, sensuous, and disturbing as his scores for Birdy and The Last Temptation of Christ (released in CD as Passion). Again, Gabriel has assembled a vast array of world musicians (many Real World artists) who take the stage for an amazing tapestry of sounds; including his long-time collaborator David Rhodes, a soulful appearance by the Blind Boys of Alabama, and interweaving the haunting didgeradoo music of Ganga Giri. This, like Gabriel's other film work, stands very much on its own; though hearing it makes me very anxious to see what must be a provocative, emotionally resonant film. Not quite as powerful as Passion, but another solid scoring triumph from Gabriel.
