Editorial Reviews

Martin Scorsese digs into the crates for another eclectic, inspired, oddball mix. Mirroring the chaos of paramedic Nicolas Cage's life, the director chooses a soundtrack that reflects spiritual and emotional upheaval, even when it mellows down with reggae classics by the Melodians and UB40. Nerve-jangling rockers by the Clash, Van Morrison (the brutal "T.B. Sheets"), R.E.M., and Janis-era Big Brother are complemented by the wounded romanticism of Johnny Thunders's "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" and the bizarre doo-wop of the Cellos's "Rang Tang Ding Dong (I Am a Japanese Sandman)." The effect is more than bracing: Bringing Out the Dead's music again shows the auteur at a bigger task than just showing off his good taste. --Rickey Wright

I CAN ALMOST SMELL THE T.B. SHEETS!.......2007-03-01

I just wanna make sure I recommend the movie as much as the soundtrack on this one... BRINGING OUT THE DEAD was a movie about hard living and working, where the music played just as much of an important role as the actors, dialouge, sets, etc. Mainly, I'm talking about Van Morrisons T.B. Sheets, the song which opens the movie, and in my opinion, sets the whole mood of the film right from the get go. Its a bluesy, funked up tune, about eight or nine minutes long.. that deals with death bed sickness... but it's cool at the heart... just like the movie... love that tune, and the fact that it scores the whole movie (whenever things get real thick we cut to a scene with that organ and screetchin' mouth harp in the background to break up the tension a little) is really one of the most memorable things about this movie (its a great movie though, don't get me wrong..)
The rest of this soundtrack is good too... with tons of songs from The Clash, Johnny Thunders, and a nice mix of tunes old and new.
But you need to see the movie first, to understand the significance of the tunes. Picture your nights filled with painful hallucinations, too much booze, and the only women you've been able to smell in ages, smells like sickness and death.... and you are totally haunted by everything ...desperately looking for something to give loose. Thats what this movie, and it's music is all about.

it's a good time though.

Great Soundtrack.......2005-12-31

A great Scorcese soundtrack. Yes, the entirety of the music in the film was better, but this is a great collection that goes together nicely.

Brilliant........2004-06-30

It's like Passover! It would've been enough if they'd had only The Clash, Van Morrison, or the diabolic Thunders musically moonlighting on this genius film. But all together, this soundtrack is phenomenal. You've got moody blues, fist-pumping punk, heart-rendering classic rock, and all together- it's outright genius.

The only reason I gave it a 4/5 was because of the not included Natalie Merchant song. The fact that they included it in the movie was enough for me.

It reminds me of hard nights and hard liquor. Just like the film.

they left out the best.......2002-09-08

why did they exclude the best song in the movie? "These are Days" Natalie Merchant........I hate it when they leave out songs that were in the movie when they put out the soundtrack.

Let them know.......2000-07-26

This CD has almost everything you could wish for. Sadly, it doesn't include any of Elmer Bernstein's haunting score, but it does have Van Morrison, The Clash, Johnny Thunders, and many other greats. The thing I like the most about it is the way all the songs fit together perfectly. Van Morrison's "T.B. Sheets" is one of the few songs that could be called epic, and "Janie Jones" and "I'm So Bored with the USA" have got to be two of the best punk songs ever. "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" has been playing in my head since I first heard it. I could write about how good every single song on this compilation is, but that would take too long. If you like classic music of a variety of genres, you will like this soundtrack.
