Album Description

Timely with the release of the long-overdue Wong Kar Wai movie 2046, its original soundtrack has 20 moody, heart-felt instrumental tracks from the movie starring the biggest Asian star names in the industry including Tony Leung, Faye Wong, Kimura Takuya, Zhang Ziyi, Maggie Cheung and Gong Li. The well composed, arranged and mixed tracks are the works of the highly respected Umebayashi Shigeru (who has secured music credits for his masterpieces in In The Mood For Love, House of the Flying Dagger and Zhou Yu's Train), London Symphony Orchestra and several other stylish musicians. The 2046 original soundtrack comes with a free, picture-perfect postcard. EMI. 2004.

5 out of 5 stars Best soundtrack in a LONG time.......2007-05-07

A talented mixture of very ethereal, dramatic & nostalgic music. Great ballroom dance tunes. Some variations on classical & even a little Opera. Super mix. When you can sit & really listen, this is what you'll want to play. Can't recommend it highly enough.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, lush, evocative soundtrack........2006-06-12

While I really enjoyed the film, I honestly think my favorite thing about it was the soundtrack. It's really haunting and beautiful. As soon as I finished the movie, I started looking for the score. It isn't available anywhere in the States so I ordered it from a seller who lived in Hong Kong and shipped it here. It was inexpensive, because of the exchange rate, and totally worth it. I'm a huge fan of film soundtracks in general and this is one of the best I've ever owned. The music is totally evocative of the film and it's a very eclectic, cool set of songs.

5 out of 5 stars An eclectic soundstrack that reminds of the works of Alberto Iglesias.......2006-01-16

This is one of those soundtrack albums that can comfortably stand on its own feet. A movie within an album, or an album within a movie, any way you choose to see it. The sound Shigeru Umebayashi evokes in "2046" and the selection of additional tracks to surround his fantastic score bring to mind the fine work Alberto Iglesias has done for many of Pedro Almodovar's movies. This is an album and a score composer (Umebayashi) to be reckoned with for years to come.

5 out of 5 stars I HAD TO HAVE IT.......2005-10-27

I knew while I was watching this film that I had to have the soundtrack. What I didn't know was how difficult it would be to find it. I wrote to Sony Pictures, and to the music reviewer of the LA Times (which gave the soundtrack a rave review), but no one answered my emails as to where I could buy the soundtrack. I finally found it at Amazon MarketPlace and I was just thrilled. (It is, by the way, listed as an import. From China, I guess.) I love the music. It's all delightful. I want to say it is "hardy" and soft and surprising from track to track.

This is not the first time (by far) that I have tried, with no luck, to buy a soundtrack after having seen a movie... I wonder why this is? Film distributors and studios don't want to sell soundtracks? Ah well, I think they live in a world of their own anyway......

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous soundtrack.......2005-09-14

Few soundtracks have impressed me these days, but 2046 has been a superb enjoyment. I haven't even seen the movie before I bought the soundtrack, but after visiting official websites, and heard bits of it playing in the background, I knew this was going to be no ordinary soundtrack for a chinese movie.

It's an entrancing soundtrack from start to finish with dark, dramatic orchestrals, a few catchy upbeat songs, and moody jazz.

There really isn't a track I don't like, but my personal favs are:

1. 2046 Main Theme (With Percussion)/(Rumba version) - One of the most entrancing opening track, simply amazing. The rumba version is also a really nice dance worthy track, pretty romantic with the violin.

2. Siboney and Siboney Instrumental - At first I got a bit annoyed with how loud Connie Francis sounded as she sang, but after a couple of listens, it definitely grows on you. The instrumental version is more upbeat and party like.

3. Sway - I never realized this song had many covers, but Dean Martin makes a fine rendition, pretty classic.

4. Julien et Barbara - Sad and melancholic, yet still retains a certain air of beauty.

5. Polonaise - Probably my favorite instrumental track on the album. Pretty waltzy without being annoying, there's just something about it that makes it seem magical.

6. Lost - Even more dramatic and sad than "Julien et Barbara", the clarinet really hits the emotional spot.

7. Dark Chariot - A simple waltzy piano tune, very pretty.

8. Sisyphos At Work - A jazz club-like song with great sax with a mix of strings, the song runs a bit long though.

9. Decision - For a while I thought I heard this song had a familiar melody, and it does retake the melody from "Lost" but was redone by a different composer. There's a definite difference here, shorter but just as compelling.

10. Adagio - This is probably the "love theme" I would consider for the entire movie. If there's any song on this album that would express "love" it's this song. Utterly beautiful violin work.

In essence, this an album you won't be disappointed with. It's hard to believe this is a soundtrack made in 2004, it sounds like a time-worn piece of work that was uncovered, dusted, cleaned and remastered for the modern listener. The movie is equally as poetic as its soundtrack, people should also give the movie a shot.

    Album Details

    The Music of Wong Kar Wai's 2004 Cinematic Masterpiece Almost Takes on the Air of a Roman Chorus Itself in the Context of this Breathtaking Motion Picture. Shigeru Umebayashi (Composer of "in the Mood for Love" and "House of Flying Daggers") Has Created a Fascinating Canvas that is Absolutely Crucial to the Film's Storytelling. The Music Accentuates as Well as Offers Character Insights and Portends the Action to Come. As the Director Explains, "Musical Excerpts Appear in Cycles, as in Remembering and Forgetting. Fragments Can Recur from One Film to Another, but Like Trains Gliding on Tracks, Every New Journey Follows the Same Path. Sets of Track Marks Are Imposed Upon One Another; New Impressions Are Built Upon One Another." German Master Composer Peer Raben also Contributed Two Compositions to this Stirring Assembly that Partrons of the Film Will Certainly Want for their Collections to Remind them of this Extraordinary Theatrical Experience.

    5 out of 5 stars Moving and smooth music for relaxation.......2007-02-03

    I completely fell in love with the movie "2046" and purchased this soundtrack so that I could remember the feeling of watching it. You don't have to be a fan of Wong Kar-wai or his movies to love this 2-disc set. Aside from a few lyrical songs from Nat King Cole and Connie Francis, the set is filled with soulful, rich instrumental melodies. "In the Mood for Love" contains a different sounding "Blue" that is quite interesting. "2046" contains the haunting "Adagio" sure to put you in a mellow, reflective mood.

    5 out of 5 stars Through the Love, Darkly.......2006-03-10

    These 2 soundtracks, mostly scored by Shigeru Umebayashi, with occassional songs of old by Nat King Cole (Wong-Kar Wai's favorite singer), are moody, dark, romantic music with an edge or bite, kinda like Bernard Herrmann on Vertigo. Nicely done, with interesting dialogue (although in Chinese or Cantonese), makes for a compelling make out music. If you want to entice, lure and seduce someone to go to bed with you - well, you can't go wrong playing these two CDs (and a bargain at that - I got it for $19.99 at Amazon). After a nice dinner, turn the lights low, play these two CDs continously, and . . . a happy ending, compared to what happened to the actual movie. Enjoy.
