The much anticipated follow-up to Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, Magnolia features a specially orchestrated soundtrack, largely written and performed by Aimee Mann ('Til Tuesday member and sadly overlooked solo artist). Mann's voice has always been a suitable vehicle for conveying emotional turmoil and indelible sadness, and several tracks here ("Build That Wall," "You Do," "Driving Sideways") do so with the rich melodicism that informs her best work. Producer Jon Brion's sprightly horn arrangements for "Momentum" are an unexpected (though not completely unwelcome) splash of cold water. Only Mann's cover of the Harry Nilsson-penned Three Dog Night hit "One" backfires, as it simply doesn't deliver the same effective climax as the original. The two Supertramp tracks from their Breakfast in America LP tacked on at album's end are incongruous (though they cut down the degrees of separation between them and Mann to an incredible one!). However, for anyone with an interest in Mann's melodic songwriting, there are eight worthy originals waiting for you. --Rob O'Connor

Mann....Oh Mann..........2007-04-25

This review refers to the soundtrack of "Magnolia"(CD)
see below for link to the film score

"Magnolia" was a one of a kind film. Not only for it's amazing cast, unique story and great filming, but the soundtrack is one that will touch you to your very core. Aimee Mann's words and music are stirring, and tell a story of life that is so relateable, that P.T. Anderson wrote the screenplay based on her works, all the different character stories that converge stemming from the character of Claudia. Don't worry though, if you are fan of Mann, but have not seen this film, this is an album that stands on it's own. One that you will never seem to get enough of.

The CD has 13 tracks from the film, every one a winner. Most are written and performed(9 of the tracks) by Mann, and even the opening with "One" not written by Mann, she makes it her own with a fresh take and the mood is set. "Momentum", "Build That Wall" "Deathly", "Driving Sideways", and 'You Do" follow and the words and music have such feeling you cannot helped be touched by the story they tell. One of human emotions that you will either relate to or be touched by. "Nothing is Good Enough" is a fine instrumental, that needs no words. Mann's final two selections are 'Wise Up" and "Save Me". Supertramp adds their wonderful talents with "Goodbye Stranger", 'Logical Song" both excellent tunes that I find nice for drive time, as well as "Dreams" from Gabrielle" . The album closes with "Magnolia" from John Brion's superb score.

The CD sound is excellent. It comes with a booklet with some notes from P.T. Anderson, the songs and the words, and some film pix. Fans of the film can relive all the very human moments again and again, and if you weren't a fan of Aimee Mann before you will be now. Fans of Mann, will enjoy this album that is definitive of her muisc, her style and intuitiveness for saying what we may be feeling.

If you are looking for just the score(also marvelous on it's own), that is also available atMagnolia (Score to 1999 Film) (Score to 1999 Film). There are some excellent reviews there of the album. This soundtrack is also available here:Magnolia
so you can check both of these sites for best deals and availability.

I've written close to 1,000 reviews here and I don't think I've ever said this before..If I could go more then 5 stars I would, but it's true of this album.

I'll leave this with some words by Mann's "Save Me":

"You look like - A perfect fit -
For a girl in need - Of a tourniquet -
But can you save me -Come on and save me
if you could save me - from the ranks- Of the freaks
who suspect - they could never love anyone...."

Enjoy....Laurie

Magnolia Soundtrack.......2006-08-07

I love every song on this CD, Aimee Mann did a great job on the score. I would recomend this CD highly.

I LOVE IT.......2006-05-08

Aimmee Mann is an absolutely talented artist, and her contributions to Magnolia are of nothing less than what is to be expected of her. Each of her songs has its own taste, its own feel, and its own uniqueness to it. She definately doesn't try to overdo any of her songs on the popularity factor.
Don't get me wrong, the rest of the soundtrack is fantastic too. Hell, "Dreams" is now my top inspirational song of all time, yes, past the Rocky song "Eye of the Tiger."
If you're a fan of Aimee Mann, you have to have this album. If you liked the movie, you have to have this album. Buy it.

one of the GREATEST soundtracks ever in history!!.......2006-03-07

"SAVE ME", was the oscar nominated song off this soundtrack.
it lost, unfortunately, to a forgettable cartoon monkey love song by phil collins from disney.
"Magnolia" told the story of 9 lives intertwined in one night.
very depressing, raw, and devistatingly real.
3 other songs you can find also from aimee mann's, "bachelor no.2" cd. an excellent piece of masterful writing as well as lyrical depth and sharpness. you won't find a better cd than this for a film. aimee tells it like it is.....and then some!

The piano is the highlight of this film's music. Songs soar to the mountaintops and run like rain. They set the mood for the movie and also are a good, solid accompaniment to any quiet day. Very enjoyable listening on their own.

Loved the movie.......2005-09-02

I was glad to find this cd still available, especially since the movie is one of my all-time favorites. My only complaint with it is the fact that the inside cover is very disappointing. It has a few pictures from the movie but the only information on the cover is all about which other movie soundtracks are available from the same company, Varese Sarabande. When I buy a soundtrack, I like to have as much information on the movie as they can squeeze into a cd cover. So, this one's a little bit of a bummer. But....I'm still glad to have the music.

Good Find.......2007-02-19

I was not able to find this CD on any of the on-line music sites. in other words my girlfriend is "Happy," so am I.

Childhood Favorite.......2006-03-26

I supposed I should not have been watching this movie when I was nine years old, but I remember seeing it several times via HBO. More importantly, my father bought the soundtrack and we used to listen to it over & over in the car. The songs stuck with me for years, and every know and then I'll hear something out of context and I'll be taken back to roadtrips with my family. It's something that I won't think about for ages, but when I'm reminded of it, I can't believe I don't still have a copy of the soundtrack.

I remember it had quiet and comforting songs mixed in with songs you could sing along too. It's perfect for driving and just having on in the background.

An eclectic treat!.......2005-12-01

I bought this CD because I needed a good version of Iko Iko. After listening to 5 or 6 versions I liked this one the best although I wish the vocals were a little crisper. What came as a wonderful surprise is that I fell in love with just about every song on the CD, particularly Scatterlings of Africa, the first Hans Zimmer song, and Beyond the Blue Horizon. I actually really enjoy every song, (except Stardust), and highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys a wide variety of music.

Pleasant, eclectic mix of coffee-shop favorites.......2003-05-21

The CD itself is a rather short mix of light favorites and classic blues and jazz. Is it a coincidence that Iko Iko later made it into the Tom Cruise produced Mission Impossible 2? Etta James' classic is probably owned by half the world already. The rest are nice to have in as background filler while you're doing something, like writing a review for instance.

I bought this CD, however, for the two songs "On the Road" and "Vegas" composed by Hans Zimmer. The first is a unique, airy instrumental that's slighly reminiscent of Jan Hammer's Miami Vice scores. The latter conveys power and excitement and it enhances the movie so masterfully that I believe it was the breakthrough hit that helped make him one of the most prolific and sought-after movie composers today.

A soundtrack you should buy.......2002-04-14

I usually do not buy movie soundtracks they are usually a cheap money making deal off the movie. Rain Man is different the music is good and every piece is nice. The movie was so good and is such a classic that the music that they put in it was just great.

Chaiyya Chaiyya Bollywood Joint - Written by A.R. Rahman, Gulzar, Panjabi MC - Performed by Sukhwinder Singh, Sapna Awasthi featuring Panjabi MC

Amazon.com

From the first seconds of the film Inside Man, a compelling mood is set via the powerful music that accompanies the opening scene. The song, "Chaiyya Chaiyya Bollywood Joint" is an adapted, hip-hop-inflected tune (featuring Punjabi MC) from India's most famous soundtrack creator, A.R. Rahman. Those hoping for a full-on South Asian exploration should note that this is the only Bollywood number on the disc; the rest of the film is scored by Spike Lee regular Terence Blanchard (Malcolm X, 25th Hour,Bamboozled.) Blanchard--a former member of both Lionel Hampton's band and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers--has created moments of quiet beauty in the soundtrack; "Press Here To Play" is a pensive piano and trumpet journey that ends (too soon) at 90 seconds, while "Nazis Pay Too Well" is another highlight, a masterfully-mournful orchestral piece well worth further expansion. Those pieces aside, the lion's share of the soundtrack is a variation on one of two separate musical themes, both of which set an appropriate tone throughout the film. On their own, however, they are almost too soundtracky to play even as background music over dinner. For personal use, Blanchard's non-film, jazz recordings may be the way to go. --Denise Sheppard

Customer Reviews:

Inside Man CD.......2007-06-10

Disappointing! We bought the sound track of Inside Man for the specific cut, "Chaiya Chaiya". After hearing the droning theme for 26 cuts, we finally heard Chaiya Chaiya...not the pure version that starts out the movie, but rather a rendition interspersed with Rap! Since we are NOT Rap fans, we were sorely disappointed.

Any ideas where we can obtain a CD with the original version and unedited cut of "Chaiya Chaiya"?

Good Strong Soundtrack.......2007-01-11

Bought as a gift--thanks! I know the music has been listened to many times over.

Compelling.......2006-12-11

I must be one of the few people who purchased this Score, who didn't like the Chaiyya Chaiyya Bollywood Joint. My reasons for purchasing this score can be summed up by the track '357'. My only regret is that is isn't a longer piece. A haunting piece of music, that stayed with me long after the film finished. This piece is replicated across many of the other tracks, but arranged differently each time. This score is a great addition to a good film.

A hidden gem!.......2006-11-10

This was a surprise soundtrack, i.e. "score" to a surprise movie; both were beyond expectations in complexity and nuance. The "world beat" sound of this is astounding, I can (and have) listened to it over and over again, finding something new each time. This is a complex melange of urban edginess and driving rhythmic undertones by an accomplished and, in my opinion, overlooked musician with still unplumbed gifts. Well worth the price for a gratifying piece of listening enjoyment.

What Song is that???!!!.......2006-08-16

Chaiya Chaiya Bollywood Joint! That's the name of that song at the end of the movie with the great beat! Go on now order it!

Spectacular SPIDER-MAN Score!.......2005-09-16

When I first saw the "Spider-Man" film, not only was I in awe of the impressive visuals that were appearing before me,but also as much with the spectacular score that the genius Danny Elfman had composed.
This is one potent,powerful and memorable Motion Picture Score that enhances the quality of this film. From the very first notes of the "Main Title",I knew this score was going to be something special - and it is! It has so much going for it.

The "Main Title" and other compositions throughout the score make great use of the choir,whether it be for fast paced action sequences or personal,emotional scenes that occur every so often.
The track "Costume Montage" also is a beautiful combination of score and guitar,and the two compliment each other well.It being one of my favourite tracks on the album.
The track "Revenge",this is another pure delight from the score. It firstly commences in great style with orchestra,then as the pace and emotion gradually picks up, the forces of orchestra, choir and synthesizer combine,to produce another memorable piece.

If I were asked to mention a few of my favourite tracks from this admirable score they would have to be the following - the "Main Title","Costume Montage","Revenge","Revelation" and "Final Confrontation".
This score would have to be one of the best that Danny Elfman has composed thus far in his long and illustrious career. A bold statement, but a true one nonetheless - to my way of thinking anyway!

Awesome.......2005-07-27

All though not as brilliant as the earlier Burton scores, Elfman strikes again with this amazing score. It is rich, percussive, choral, brassy, and huge.

One of the best scores in the last several years.

Spider-Man 1 And 2 Score.......2005-04-08

This May Get to you all. Have you all notice something different in the (score). I will tell you the bit where Peter Parker climbs the wall, Also when he looks into the mirrer, when he misses the bus and starts running for it. Shore there is a bit of the music after the bus but all you fans need that little bit extra. Now I Am a Spider-Man Fan big time and some fans know what that little extra needs. With Spider-Man 2 what about Train & Appreciation that was not used in the movie. I don't care if the counduct the same thing over it's not Elfman wants its what the customer wants also the fans. The missing bits in Spider-Man 2 Score was when his bike got run over and he races after the bad guys or what about the extra bit on The Bank/Saving AuntMay where Doc Ock gets shot out to the car and Web Slinger Runs for him that little bit. Hey its a exellant Cd but when i was reading a kid story this is what I was reading.

Maked a disc 2 Edition now with all the stuff on the Cd.
where with you mate

Spider Man 1 and 2.......2005-04-06

I think that all scores are good and i just want to say something to you all the (score) are missing somthing.
The extra music like when Peter Parker climbs the wall i thought that Danny Elfman put that in the Scores also plus the TRain And Appreciation they Conduted differently think the Train And Appreciation should be change immediatley becuase it's not used in the movie. If I where Danny Elfman i would of made 2 CD's and the whole lot of on the Cd. The Scores now Are great but its just not complete with the left over music he made. This is Bradley And I Live in OLD AUS Reporting my juggment on this Score it is great but make another Cd with all the stuff on it Please. Ps.

I think Venom Goes Well In Spider-Man 3 and the other Villan The Green Goblin

With a sweeping score Elfman's Spider-Man Soares!.......2005-02-21

Returning to the super-hero genre with a vengeance is Danny Elfman. Spider-Man is the premier Marvel hero, and Elfman gives him the perfect score. Starting quietly, Elfman builds up a crescendo that captures the feeling of Marvel's webhead swinging through the city. Throwing in a rough theme for the Green Goblin and an enjoyable love theme, Elfman creates 45 minutes of enjoyable listening. I have to say that without his music for the Goblin, the movie would have been slightly ridiculous. Overall, Spider-Man is a truly enjoyable score.

What's a woebegone wall-crawler to do? Arachnid-powered superteen Peter Parker's all-too-human foibles are never far from the heart of director Sam Raimi's second installment of the Spider-Man saga, giving it an emotional resonance that sets it smartly apart from its summer blockbuster competition. But while Raimi and star Toby McGuire help emotionally ground the film, its stunning CGI effects -- and this robust, aggressive orchestral score by Danny Elfman -- insure we never forget this is no mere soap opera. The composer returns with a vengeance to the larger-than-life, crowd-pleasing sensibility of his acclaimed work on Batman and its sequel, though he occasionally seasons it with sparing dashes of the post-modern flirtations of his Hulk score. Elfman conjures his formula masterfully, bookending a suitably moody, rhythmically anxious new theme for Dr. Octopus with a brassy reprise of villainy-past on "The Goblin Returns." Though leavened by more emotionally bright passages, it's a score largely dominated by the dark, brooding comic book melodramatics that are the favorite of so many Elfman acolytes. --Jerry McCulley

This is One of Elfman's Best Scores!!!!.......2007-05-09

I really love this cd. ive always wanted to hear the main title from the movie and when i got this cd i was really happy and when i heard it i felt like i was watching the movie again. Elfman is one of my favorite and best composers since John Williams!!! This is a MUST have!!!!

Not the best soundtrack I've heard.......2007-03-09

I own a lot of soundtracks and this is not one of the best. The music is great when the movie is playing but loses something on its own.

Missing some music pieces.......2006-10-14

I decided to buy this CD after wanting a piece played in Spider-Man 2 SO badly. I was furious when I listened to this and didn't find it anywhere. The piece I was looking for was the piano piece during the scene when Peter hugs Aunt May when she's packing. You'd think it would be in 'Ant May Packs' but it's not. It is also missing some other great pieces from the movie. A bit of a let down...

A well Motion Picture Score........2006-02-10

This Orignal Motion Picture score was great becuase of the music that Danny Elfman used on this Cd. I love #1"Main Titles",#2,and I love the Doc Ock theme. I really wish that they would of put in the Pizza Delivery when Peter delivers the pizza's. And when Doc Ock puts his arms up for the first time. But I love this motion picture score soundtrack. It's a great score to listin to. I highly recommend it! And it's a 48 minute soundtrack and the music in the film wasn't all in the soundtrack. But Danny Elfman did an awesome job with this Orignal Motion Picture Score for Spider-Man 2!

great buy .......2006-01-20

this cd is a great buy for spider-man fans because it includes most of the music score but not all. my favorite tracks are track #1 whick the title theme, track #7 which is titled the mugging/peters turmoil peters turmoil is the first 3 minuets and is also the theme when peter says I'm spider-man no more, I also like track #9 which is titled hes back, track #14 which is titled at long last love, and finnaly the classic but annoyingly catchy track #15 which is raindrops keep fallin on my head. other themes on this cd are train/appreciation which is track #10. also there is the track titled the goblins returns which includes a little of the green goblin theme.

I purchased this music for tracks to be used in figure skating. Some of the tracks are particularly strong in rythmn for fast, tight foot work. Track 13 and 6 and 14 are very good for that purpose. The whole album is very good. If you are familiar with the movie you can picture each scene.
I highly recommend this CD.

Although a somewhat mediocre film, the soundtrack is breathtaking. With so many beautiful melodies, it will take you away to a serene and tropical utopia. I highly recommend this to all lovers of original soundtracks.

best movie score ever.......2004-12-22

The music from Medicine Man is alive with exciting melodies and colorful instrumentation. I've owned this CD for many years and it never gets boring. The score to the film Medicine Man may be stronger than the film itself, and the film was very good. Unfortunately, Disney, who publishes this magificient music, did not have the forsight to put it to sheet music. I am a classical guitarist and my son is a pianist and we wish they had.

Jerry Goldsmith recientemente ha muerto, un recuerdo para ti maestro.
Esta banda sonora bebe de dos raíces mentales: la idea de paraíso natural Edén sintetizado en el hermoso tema andino de Rael y la destrucción cuasi-genocida de ese medio ambiente a manos de la voraz locomotora capitalista codificada en el hipnótico tema del incendio.
Como de costumbre la instrumentalización es de lujo y la sincronía con las imágenes de esta composición es en este caso magnífica.

Even the greatest names in film scoring have occasionally face a dilemma not so different from making a good Thanksgiving dinner: how to stuff a turkey. And not even noted scenery carnivore Robin Williams (playing a household robot who gradually becomes human) could mug his way out of this syrupy Chris Columbus-directed reworking of Pinocchio. Modern maestro James Horner dishes up a serviceable, twinkly score full of swelling strings and quietly "magical" passages; Spielberg-Williams Lite--not to mention a decade or so late. The James Horner-Will Jennings-Celine Dion team responsible for Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On" (and on and on and on) returns here with the decidedly tacked-on "Then You Look at Me." Dion retired immediately thereafter--'nuff said. --Jerry McCulley

Beautiful.......2005-12-23

This is an absolutely gorgeous score. Because of the tone of the movie, there are no dark parts. The music is at a fairly even keel with some sweeping orchestral swells. Just put it in the stereo, close your eyes and enjoy.

One main word CRAP!.......2004-04-30

This doesnt need to be a review as the music is CRAP!

Beautiful Music.......2003-12-28

Listening to this CD is one of the most profoundly relaxing experiences you could ask for. The orchestration is wonderful, the melodies haunting--you can see and feel what the music is trying to convey with no effort at all. Pure enjoyment!

thought provoking and key to the success of the movie.......2003-08-20

I cry every time I watch this movie and listen to the soundtrack. It evokes how fragile and alone we truly are in this world. As humans we procreate to fiegn immortality, but in the end we are only mortal. This music reminds us to live in our humanity and celebrate that mortality. Experience love and loss with all that you are. If you have not, you cheat yourself out of the very thing that makes us what we are. One of my favorite movies and favorite soundtracks (scores). I only wish it included Faure's Dolly Suite (the piano duet between Andrew and Little Miss), thus the 4 and not a 5 rating. Enjoy life!

An Excellent Horner Score!.......2003-08-04

If you don't like Horner's self-rip-offs, save your money. (I don't care wether Horner borrows material from earlier scores. I just want to hear good music, and I think James Horner makes the most beautiful music in the world, original or not. Actually, I sometimes like it that Horner re-uses earlier material.)

"Bicentennial Man" is a very good, emotional, thematical score.
In Track 1: "The Machine Age", Horner borrows the piano riff from the Main Title from "Sneakers".
The best tracks are: "The Machine Age", "A Gift For Little Miss", "The Wedding" (which contains some material from "Braveheart"), "A Passage Of Time, A Changing Of Seasons" and "Growing Old".

This score is not as good as "The Land Before Time", "Krull" and "The Rocketeer", but still, it's a very good listen.
If you're a real fan of Horner's work, you'll aprecciate this soundtrack.

A weird but worthwhile score........2001-11-14

Thematically poor it may well be but this is a great CD. Elmer Bernstein was hired originally to do the score and altho his music was impressive it just didn't fit the tone of the movie. Ry Cooder has hit the mark with his score .The opening music is the most distant and morbid I have ever heard. It's great and really makes us feel was Bruce Willis is feeling in the movie. So far away and distant this score almost becomes tragic in places. Track 13 is a classic and 20 and 24 create a VERY downbeat tone. This is an unmissable CD.

A breakthrough!.......2001-10-17

If you've reached this space, you've obiously seen the movie. If you haven't, go see it right away! A bit matcho it is, yes, but Bruce Willis does a great job at playing tough, and my the actors in this movie are all great. So heck, go see it!

Ok, I am going to talk to those of you who have seen the movie. Did you like the background music in the movie, and thought to yourself: "Wow, that music is wonderful, I have to have it."

Well think no more about it then. The creators of this soundtrack CD has obviously done their homework. Almost ever background tune you heard in the movie, IS ON THIS CD. That means a lot of quality guitar mood music, taken of course from Last man Standing. Great music for romantic occasions, relaxing, and daydreaming.

Some would-be soundtracks get neglected, and released just for that extra buck. But if all soundtracks / scores were this great, I would have no trouble hitting the "buy" button of the movies were I thought the background music ruled!

Andy Kaufman managed to blur the line between his life and sur-reality. Completely transforming himself into his characters--for better or (more often) for worse--Kaufman viewed limits as something worth being tested. His own death by cancer at first seemed to be just another of his elaborate put-ons, on par with his affection for female mud wrestling. But his very real death guaranteed his legacy. R.E.M. paid him tribute several years ago with the movie's title track, and now they've come back to finish the job, contributing the film's score and "The Great Beyond," a melancholy number that stands as one of R.E.M.'s strongest songs in years. Several tracks of Kaufman himself--leading a spirited romp through the Mighty Mouse theme song, yodeling a sensitive, country-tinged "Rose Marie," singing as Tony Clifton (belting out a terse "I Will Survive"), and then inviting the audience out for milk and cookies--as well as the theme from Taxi and a few other comedic odds and ends, round out the portrait with suitable wackiness and pathos. --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews:

Mighty Mouse is on his way..........2004-11-30

This is truly a soundtrack because it contains many soundbites from the movie. The majority of the album is R.E.M., some actual songs by Andy Kaufman and of course the Mighty Mouse Theme.

IN THE SPIRIT OF ANDY.......2002-05-07

This soundtrack composed of mainly R.E.M. songs stays true to the essence that was Andy Kaufman. R.E.M. fan rejoice. Andy fans rejoice. This album was made especially for you. There are several standout tracks such as "The Great Beyond," "This Friendly World," (which is a duet between Michael Stipe and Jim Carrey) and of course "Man on the Moon." But what truly make this album worthwhile are the little skits performed by various members of the cast in between songs. This is an excellent album a far as soundtracks go. It was not composed of hit songs just to make money. It is a well put together album. I give it 5 stars.

Would the Real Andy Please Stand Up?.......2001-12-30

If you are a fan of R.E.M., a fan of Andy Kaufman, or enjoyed watching the movie MAN ON THE MOON, this is a great soundtrack to own. Two of the songs on the album: "The Great Beyond" and "Man on the Moon"; are songs performed by R.E.M. Not only that, but the film's score-much of which is included here-was written by the band as well. For Andy Kaufman fans, the album has a few songs performed by Andy and his alter-ego, Tony Clifton. Well, actually they were performed by Jim Carrey, but Jim Carrey said he actually became Andy while performing the movie, so even though it's him, he (and many others) swear it's Andy (Andy would have loved playing with people like that). Finally, this album has several dialogue clips from the movie. Some suggest that this takes away from the album, but I find it does the exact opposite: the clips enhance the music. And for those of you who aren't R.E.M., Andy Kaufman, or MAN ON THE MOON fans; this is still an enjoyable album to listen to: "The Great Beyond" and "Man on the Moon" are great songs as is the theme from Taxi and the "Mighty Mouse Theme". A real treat.

A score by REM? The only highlights are REM's own stuff!.......2001-10-05

I love R.E.M., I really do. Therefore I bought `their' score of the brilliant movie Man On The Moon, after hearing their single The Great Beyond. This score also features the classic R.E.M. song Man On The Moon, as well as an orchestral version. A very nice bonus. This Friendly World is another R.E.M. song, a very sweet one with guest vocals by Jim Carrey (as Andy Kaufman and his alter ego Tony Clifton). Sadly, these songs are this score's only highlights. The rest of the album sounds very boring to me. Surely R.E.M. could have done a better job making a score for a brilliant movie like this. Sadly, they failed. But this score is definitely a nice collector's item for R.E.M. fans. If you're not a fan, I recommend to spend your money on something better. (Tip: Try a Radiohead album...)

Fantastic Soundtrack.......2001-03-02

Who knew R.E.M. would be so good at film scores? Thier instrumental work on this album is flawless, especially the orchestral version of their classic song "Man On The Moon",and the gorgeous "Miracle"-possibly the most haunting,enduring music they've ever done.And,of coarse,you get thier great single "The Great Beyond",one of thier best.On top of that,you get goodies like the theme from "Taxi","Kiss You All Over",by Exile(c'mon,you know you love it),The "Mighty Mouse Theme",and a priceless version of "I Will Survive",sung with ally-cat-in-heat grandure by Tony Clifton(Jim Carrey),that may be better than the original.Also,as an added bonus,you also get "One More Song For You",sung by the real Andy Kaufman,just a small reminder of why they did all this in the first place.If you're a fan of Andy's,Jim Carrey's,or R.E.M.,or just good music,this is a sure bet.
