If contemporary Hollywood sometimes seems an industry bent on recycling itself into oblivion, it still manages the occasional welcome genre-tweaking. Writer-director John Stockwell takes one of the last bastions of salty machismo, the surf film, and gives it a distinct surfer grrrl slant. The resulting film's soundtrack eschews its own share of genre clichés--decades of fuzz guitar, OC ska/surf-punk bluster--for a club-savvy mix that veers from the lush, neo-psych edge of Lenny Kravitz's "If I Could Fall in Love" to Beenie Man's and Damian Marley's Jamaican dancehall grooves. But it's the wafting, electronica-infused flourishes of Beth Orton's gorgeous "Daybreaker," Zero 7's R&B-tinged "Destiny," and the moody atmospherics of Doves' "Firesuite" that best catch the intoxicating appeal of a cool, cresting wave. --Jerry McCulley

Blue Crush.......2006-02-26

This CD has various artists, and the mix is just great. My exercise instructor uses it for an abs blast class. The CD is superb.

*****!BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!*****.......2005-05-28

This has got to be the Best Soundtrack I've heard so far. Normally with some Soundtracks, you get the odd songs that aren't worth listening to. But with Blue Crush, EVERY SONG is WiCkEd!!
There's a variety of awesome mixes of Rock-fast beat, and chilled-relaxed tunes that make you crank up the stereo! This CD would be even better if it had included more songs (eg. Youth of the Nation, POD)
The movie is also definately worth checking out!! -Comedy and some surfing action that just makes you wanna get out there and surf!!

do NOT start your summer without it!!!.......2005-05-03

When I first saw Blue Crush, the first thing I noticed was the fact that the music credits featured were mostly artists I've never even heard of. I recently went to the mall and chanced upon the CD and took it to the listening booth and found it very eclectic with different genres jammed together. Although I was disappointed that it only contained 11 songs, the soundtrack still delivered attitude, steering away from the stereotypical beach sounds, which was a complete relief.

The carrier single of the disc is rock god Lenny Kravitz's kick-ass song, "If I Could Fall In Love". The music video featured the three surfer girls in the movie. Definitely a good start for a rock intro. Following is the hard-driven techno dance remix of N.E.R.D.'s "Rock Star", a head-banging track good for beach house parties.

From rock, the CD moves to a beach staple sound - pure reggae and hiphop. It features upbeat tunes such as "Party Hard" and "Big Love", with wicked remixes like "And Be Loved", "Cruel Summer (Blestenation Mix)", and "Front 2 Back (Fatboy Slim Remix)". The songs create the feel of having a jammin' good time at the beach with your friends, so you definitely can't go wrong.

The ethereal Beth Orton gives a haunting contribution to the soundtrack in "Daybreaker", an upbeat trip-hop electronica song with evoking vocals and melody. Not to be outdone is the equally talented Nikka Costa with "Everybody Got Their Something".

Rounding off the disc are two beautiful ambient tracks to end a day at the beach. The creative duo of Zero 7 incorporates the perfect summer ballad in "Destiny" - a deliciously sensual chillout track which features the sublime vocals of Sia Furler, a perfect slow number to dance with your boo. And last but not the least, Doves gives a striking track in "Firesuite" - a mellow instumental that screams "beach lounge".

There were some songs, however, that should have been added to the soundtrack, most notably P.O.D., with their songs "Youth Of The Nation" (heard only on the surfing training of Anne Marie) and "Alive" (featured on the trailer). But all in all, Blue Crush OST packs a mean tsunami punch. A perfect addition to your CD collection!

blue crush is da' bomb!!!!!!!!.......2005-03-19

this sound track is the bomb!!! the movie is too!! i love all the songs on this album especially "rock star" and "youth of the nation" but it is so stupid that "youth of the nation" is not on the soundtrack because that song is the bomb its by P.O.D by the way. anyways this soundtrack is sooooooo good and by the way you should also check into the movie both are extremly good! by the way kate bosworth is a really good actress and also by the way did i mention that this is the bomb movie!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????? by the way, bye!!!!!!!
