Bandits [Soundtrack]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Cate Blanchett play an unlikely trio of bank robbers in Barry Levinson's outlaw comedy, and this eclectic soundtrack reflects the quirky personalities of their characters. Heard quietly under the film's opening credits, Bob Dylan's "Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum" refers to the bickering duo played by Willis and Thornton, while two '80s hits by Bonnie Tyler ("Holding Out for a Hero" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart") virtually define the neglected housewife-on-the-run played by Blanchett. You'll have to listen closely to hear some of these songs in the film, and two tracks ("Walk on By" and "Wildfire") are exclusive to this release. And while there's not much connective thread from one song to another, their sequencing has an idiosyncratic appeal, just like the film itself. From the soothing effect of Mark Knopfler's "Rudiger" to Five for Fighting's whimsical hero's lament "Superman (It's Not Easy)," these songs convey the same emotional range explored in Christopher Young's "Bandits Suite," a score sampler that closes the disc with instrumental flare. --Jeff Shannon

Well worth the buy & listen.......2007-01-19
Great soundtrack with a very good selection of mixed artists and differing styles of music from Tanita Tikarim to Bob Dylan. The soundtrack is great on it's own, but is even better if you have seen the movie. The U2 song in the movie, probably should have been included as well, but you never know why it wasn't. It is still worth the listen though!
A Great Listen.......2002-10-30
This was a great buy. I don't buy many Soundtracks...only when the music in the film really hits me...often I don't even notice that there is any!
First thing I said when I saw this film was that I would buy this CD. I actually didn't rate the film that highly, although enjoyable. The CD though, is great.
I love the fantastic final track 'Bandits Suite'.
It's hard to compare it or recommend it based on music tastes, as the make up of the CD is quite varied... from Tanita Tikaram to Bonnie Tyler (Both of Bonnie's songs I must admit, I struggle to listen to due to having heard them both so many times over the years!)
Just a really good listen.
A film where the music makes sense.......2002-08-01
There are many little things that would probably go unnoticed in this movie, were it not for soundtrack. I'm thinking of the scene in which Cate Blanchett loses herself in that meal preparation, only to have her almost unbelievably insensitive husband show up to inform her that he won't be eating any of it. It's the music and the life it creates for her that shows the dichotomy of her world; and so, when she inadvertently escapes, we believe it. Are Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Blanchett superb? Yes. But it's the music that underscores the acting and directing brilliance.
But were is MSI!?????.......2002-07-20
Yes, this album is very very incomplete. Aside from the great U2 not being there, where the heck is Mindless self indulgence(my favorite band )??? They were played for like a minute and a half when Bruce willis and that other guy walk in on that young guy and that girl making out. It was a song called kill the rock and its great. So i don't know why they didn't put it there!
Great soundtrack to a bad movie.......2002-06-16
Before I talk about the soundtrack, I should probably point out that I didn't like Bandits. I found it to be a terrible movie. Despite the fact that I found it to be one of the worst movies of 2001, I found the soundtrack to be excellent. This is one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a while. Every song is great. It's well worth owning. The Movie: * The Soundtrack:****

Babes In Arms Review.......2006-11-10
It was refreshing to hear these songs in their original form. I actually could make out the lyrics to songs like Where or When and The Lady Is a Tramp.I also love Johnny One Note and Way Out West (On Western Avenue). I listen to the CD over and over and over. I would recommend it to anyone.
Terrific Recording of a Classic.......2006-07-22
Marvelous studio recording. Wish there were more of these of long lost shows.
Sparkling recording of Rodgers & Hart score.......2005-02-20
People who listen to this wonderful recording jump to the conclusion that the show is an overlooked classic. It isn't. The score is jam packed with standards, but the book... the book is a mess! Filled with unfunny jokes, sub-plots that go nowhere and bits of business that I doubt were even entertaining in 1937. Despite a slew of good reviews BABES had trouble attracting audiences until suddenly in teh summer it was the ONLY musical running on Broadway, and that helped it achieve a healthy run of 289 performances. But the show will never be revived except in concert.
Evans Haile is the real star hear, conducting the original orchestrations which swing in the best late 1930s tradition. The extended Ballet "Peter's Dream" is a bit repetitive but the rest of teh CD is pure gold. Really, this is the best way to enjoy BABES IN ARMS.
CORRECTION: The listing says "1989 Broadway Revival Cast" - it wasn't a revival: just a concert version.
The Rodgers and Hart Hit Parade.......2004-02-21
The score for Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's 1937 musical BABES IN ARMS is practically a catalog of hit songs: "Where or When," "I Wish I Were in Love Again," "My Funny Valentine," "Johnny One-Note," "The Lady Is a Tramp." Even the less popular numbers "Imagine," "All at Once," "You Are So Fair," and the title song are of fine quality (only "Way Out West" is slightly silly). The singers on this 1989 studio recording are all excellent vocalists (Judy Blazer and Judy Kaye particularly so), yet their voices are fresh and youthful-sounding enough for the juveniles -- "babes in arms" -- they are meant to be playing. But the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Evans Haile, is the real star of the recording. As the booklet notes explain, the show's original orchestrations have here been recreated, and the result is a charming sound that is authentically 1930's. As far as the orchestra is concerned, this is BABES IN ARMS as Rodgers and Hart themselves originally heard it.
Awsome.......2003-11-16
My brothers school put this play on recently and I just had to see it twice. I love it so much and hopefully will get the Cd soon.

This one kicks butt !.......2005-07-24
Love this soundtrack, especially since the songs are all performed by the actors in the film! not just another "chick flick" The movie is awesome
Great music.......2002-02-17
A friend of mine told me about her favourite movie "Bandits" and gave me this Cd. The music is very great, although many people may think it's just a try of actors to get more money by doing other things than acting. But it's not that try at all, it's very, very great music, which fits perfectly in the film and is also great to listen to in every situation. I can really command this cd to you as well as the movie "bandits".
Viel Spass beim zuhoeren!
This Soundtrack is only an Enhancement to the Film..........2001-04-20
After having read Derek Mok's thorough review of the soundtrack, which is great, I felt the need to add one important bit of information. "Catch Me" was originally released as "Hobart Paving" by the group St. Etienne on their album "So Tough", which is very hard to find. The girls from "Bandits" do a lovely cover, but it isn't an original song from the film. The greatest disappointment to me about the whole soundtrack, however, is that they don't sing more songs auf Deutsch. It is a rather good buy for any fan of girl groups or of the film "Bandits."
just great.......2000-12-07
The movie soundtrack is just great. It is hard to find good actors that can sing and perform at the same time. All songs show great writing and composing talent by Tabatabai. I just can not stop listening to them.I am sure you'll enjoy the CD better if you actually watch the movie. The movie starts with the best song "Puppet" and ends with "Catch Me" which fits the end perfectly. The movie is showing twice in december '00 on The Movie Channel(TMC2). I was so lucky to be in Munich in 97 and happened to go see the movie. The next day i got the soundtrack. Good job girls.
Makes a fascinating companion to the film........2000-08-19
The soundtrack to Bandits offered a surprising contrast to the film. I loved the movie and the music fit very well into it (thanks to top-notch editing and Katja von Garnier's cinematic brilliance), but though I found the music in the context of the movie to be perfectly fitting, I didn't think it would make for much of a pure audio experience. I was wrong. And the tone of the soundtrack album, stripped of the movie's delicate sense of impending danger, changed drastically, including the sound of Jasmin Tabatabai's voice.
The album dispels the illusion created by the film that Bandits Nicolette Krebitz, Katja Riemann and Jutta Hoffmann played the instruments. So it is essentially Tabatabai's show. Most of the songs are her own compositions and feature her lead vocal work (though Krebitz and Riemann also wrote and sang), and she's the only Bandit whose instrumental work (guitar) was truly on the songs. And Tabatabai's voice and persona comes off much different on the album, without her fiery stage antics as seen in the film. She is much quieter, often coming off as more a confessional singer-songwriter mode, or Susanna Hoffs (Bangles) with more brains. Her "Puppet" is the unofficial anthem of the Bandits, here appearing in several different versions, all catchy and a good solid listen. Tabatabai's overly laid-back vocal doesn't quite work on "All along the Watchtower" without the visual energy to back it up (though the arrangement is good), and "Another Sad Song" is a pretty, low-key song. Krebitz' "Crystal Cowboy" doesn't work as pure music even though it was perfect in the quirky seduction scene in the movie, but when she and Riemann join Tabatabai in the punked-up version of the traditional tune "Wenn ich ein Voeglein Waer" ("If I Were a Little Bird"), it's infectious riot-grrl punk with a German twist.
You'd enjoy this album more if you also enjoyed the movie. With the context of the movie in mind, you can fully explore the complex dimensions in the soundtrack-film relationship here. But in many ways, this soundtrack still holds its own. Fans of Throwing Muses, Belly, Tanya Donelly or Veruca Salt will probably take an easy liking to this unusual soundtrack, on a purely aural level.

Amazon.com
The exploits of Ian Fleming's British super-agent James Bond have long since become the longest running film series in history, spanning 40 years and counting. Not the least of the cycle's charm has been its music, a body of work that encompasses pop clichés (the twangy guitar of Monty Norman's original "James Bond Theme") and elegant underscores alike. While this collection spans music from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, decades of various legal entanglements prevented it from becoming the ultimate Bond music anthology. This is more a credible simulation, a newly recorded collection of cues and suites (including music previously unreleased on the original soundtracks) performed by Nic Raine and the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra. With John Barry's lush, ever-evocative scores both forming the core and setting the tone (but also featuring the work of George Martin, David Arnold, Michael Kamen, Bill Conti, and Eric Serra), it's the most comprehensive--if not exactly authentic--collection of Bond music yet attempted. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
almost the perfect James Bond collection.......2005-07-20
this 4 CD box has most of the familiar James Bond compositions.
Still,some tunes are missing(from for instance Thunderball and For Your Eyes Only)and most of the time the attention is on the instrumental version of the title track which is a bit of a shame.And yet,there are too many great pieces on this collection to make it a failure.Alpine Drive,Dawn Raid at Fort Knox,On Her Majesty's Secret Service(every track),Miss Goodhead and so on.All great pieces that not only show the great talent of John Barry but also the great power of James Bond films.Cause when you hear the music,you see the scenes in front of you.
Very much a recommendation to all Bond and Barry fans although sometimes it focusses too much on title songs.The only solution is to buy all separate soundtracks.
Good Collection.......2005-02-24
Very nice packaging and good tracks from the Bond music library make this an anoutstanding item. "From Russia With Love" and "Diamonds Are Forever" contain beautiful and energetic renditions. The John Barry music is handled quite well. I didn't real care for the David Arnold selections. "The World Is Not Enough" was weak. Overall it is a good collection just the same.
Not excatly what I expected.......2003-04-10
I when I read some of the reviews of this I thought that this was a complete collection of all the originals of the Theme songs of every James Bond movie and remakes done by the Prague Philharmonic of some of the other songs in the various movies. After recieveing this ... I started to listen to it and found out that it was all done by the orchestra. The are very good, but to a point it is not the same thing as owning a disc will all the orignal songs on it. Overall, this good if all the you want is the orchestral versions of most of the songs in the movies or the suites out of some of the movies. To a point these don't compare to the orignals. Keep looking if you want a set with all the orignals songs in it.
The James Bond CD for the John Barry purist?.......2003-01-28
Let's cut to the chase. Nic Raine and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do John Barry's work justice. 90% of this collection is as close as you can get to the original James Bond soundtracks. The other 10% lends itself to some artistic license with respect to the arrangements. Most notable is the main theme to Goldfinger. Also Nic slips in a few previously unreleased tracks. You will find these on the On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Golden Eye tracks. This CD boxed set is definitely made for the Bond soundtrack fan. The die hard John Barry "purist"/ traditionalist may find some of these tracks questionable at first, but after a few times Nic Raine's artistic license gives a fresh perspective to the familiar Bond/ Barry themes. The only reservation I have with this CD set is with some of selections that are performed. For instance, from Goldfinger, "Dawn Raid At Fort Knox" was a poor selection considering the selection available on that particular soundtrack. The most famous 007 soundtrack of all I dare say. Overall Nic hits the mark, and this CD set is a tribute to Barry's (as well as, George Martin's, Marvin Hamlish's, and Bill Conti's and David Arnold's) work. It's all here in one collection. I am a die-hard Bond soundtrack fan, and to the casual soundtrack fan I say this CD is set all you need to experience the Bond music legacy. To those who are hard core 007 soundtrack fans ...this is a FANTASTIC "addition" to your collection. This has to be the BEST (and probably the only) 007 "soundtrack" compilation. Whereas all the others feature the "main themes" from the Bond films as originally recorded, this one truly gives you the Bond experience.
Very enjoyable with most of the BOND music you'd want........2002-12-08
This is similar but more comprehensive than another BOND collection on one CD by the City of Prague Philharmonic. These are good renditions but clearly not the orginals. I must ask if the Prague Philharmonic does not own a harp? It is glaringly missing in the Goldfinger themes and i am sure on others. That harp is an exciting and beautiful touch to the wonderful GOLDFINGER theme and its absents is unfortuneatly very noticeable. Also some of the other themes can even sound muzaky if thats a word(elevator music)
It gets 3 solid stars good collection yet defineatly something is lacking.

Customer Reviews:
Great film and great soundtrack.......2006-01-05
Saw the movie on IFC, ran to my computer and ordered the DVD and sound track from Amazon. Great cover of All the Along the watchtower. And the songs are good and catchy in that garage band kinda way. Highly recommend.

The movie is one of my favourites, and so is the soundtrack. All songs are by the four women who compose the band in the movie. And even though the movie is in German, all the songs (cept one) are in english. It's a must-have.
