Free Music Notes for Bend It Like BeckhamFree Music Review: Soundtrack Mirrors the Film - Mostly Hit: 4 Stars
As a previous reviewer said, there are several omissions on this soundtrack, notably Tom Jones and Curtis Mayfield, which is truly a shame. The soundtrack is, however, just as eclectic, colorful, and uplifting as the movie was. I especially enjoyed the Indian tracks, as I have only had limited exposure to this type of music. They are not very "traditional" - all have dancey music, but they still speak of a different style. For the non-Indian songs, the selections by Texas, Victoria Beckham, and Melanie C are very fun and good. I also like the Bina Mistry version of "Hot Hot Hot" - it always makes me picture the final scene of the movie! If you liked the movie, you will most certainly like this soundtrack, as it contains a mix of Indian music and popular UK tunes.
Free Music Review: Good Soundtrack for a Great Movie! Hit: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this album because it reminded me of the movie. I was a little dissapointed that some of the songs I clearly remember from the movie were missing such as "Move on Up" and "She's a Lady". I have heard that some of the songs missing from my copy of the soundtrack are on some imported versions. I did think the dialogs were a fun addition. Suprisingly, I thought the Indian tracks were fun to listen to, even though I couldn't understand a word. Some of my favorite songs were: "Independence Day" by Melanie C, "Inner Smile" by Texas, "Atomic" by Blondie, and "Hot, Hot, Hot" by Bina Mistry. I think that if you like the movie,(Bend it like Beckham) you will probably like the soundtrack.
Free Music Review: Good, but missing a few must-haves Hit: 4 Stars
This is a great collection of songs from an equally great movie, a perfect mix of Eastern and Western music. Sadly there are several missing tracks, that would have made the album perfect. These include: Move on Up by Curtis Mayfield, Baddest Ruffest by Backyard Dog, Do Your Thing by Basement Jaxx, She's a Lady (remix) by Tom Jones, and the ever, impossible to find Dream the Dream by Shaznay Lewis. This last one is unrelased material, that plays when Jess is hanging laundry, a great song, that I can't find anywhere. If these tracks had been on the album, no doubt it would have been perfect.
Free Music Review: please help! Hit: 4 Stars
Hello. I love "Bend it Like Beckham!" I watch this movie every other day. I heard that there are different versions of the soundtract. Can anyone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me find the CD version that has the song that was played the night they went to the club in Germany. Not the songs in the actual club but the Indian song that played when Jes came outside in the nice outfit (after her makeover) right before they went to the club. I really, really like this song and would like to get it. If it's not on any of the versions, can someone tell me the name so that I can get it. Thanks! :D
Free Music Review: For ALL 22 Tracks, but it at Amazon.co.uk!!! Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this soundtrack while waiting for my plane at London's Heathrow Airport. I noticed that my cd has 22 tracks on it, while the American release only has 14...my suggestion is to purchase it at Amazon.co.uk where you can get the European relaese...it has the missing songs most other reviewers were looking for. The CD is awesome...but I'm taking away 1 star for the inclusion of Nessun Dorma. It's a beautiful operatic song but it doesn't seem to belong on this soundtrack.
