Free Music Review: In the style Bregovic has become famous for, but somehow dull and lifeless
Hit: 3 Stars
Goran Bregovic's score for the Kusturica film UNDERGROUND made for one of the best movie soundtracks of all time. I was thrilled by Bregovic's mix of brass ensemble, Roma and Shopski Bulgarian singers, and complex Balkan rhythms. Desiring to hear more of his work, I got his 2002 album TALES AND SONGS FROM WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS. Unfortunately, this proved a disappointment. Many of the songs feature the same elements as in UNDERGROUND. The opening track "Hop Hop Hop", for example, has some old geezer singing in Romani against a backdrop of brass. "Sex" and "Cocktail Molotov" are similar. But somehow all the passion is gone, and instead of being energizing these are just ho-hum at best and grating at worst. In between the vocals, we find instrumentals that rarely rise above the most vacuous of film music.
I'm now unsure if I want to seek out more of Goran Bregovic's music. Is it all like this besides that brilliant Kusturica soundtrack of 1995?
