Free Music Notes for Lost in Translation
Free Music Review: It takes you away. May cause psychosis. But worth the lifelong torment
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD, when listened to, will make you question your existence on this planet. It will unsettle your soul. It will make you realise that there's a lot of Bill Murray's character in us. The problem is that we're poor, we're working for the man, the woman (or man) has you in a headlock, the kids are cutting you a new bunghole, and that youre never gonna be a famous actor doing a commercial in an exotic coutry or a filmmaker or anything remotely similar. If someone with huge amounts of money and fame and those who travel weekly saw this film and listened to this soundtrack, they wouldnt have a clue. It's the feelings evoked within the souls of the poor schmoes like you and me that makes this soundtrack and movie something special. It makes us long for a time that's unattainable and that is the magic that you feel within you when you listen to this... Lost in Translation -- lost forever, lost indeed........
Lost in Translation Poster
The soundtrack to Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation features exclusive music from Kevin Shields (of My Bloody Valentine) and Air -- plus classic tracks from the Jesus & Mary Chain, Death In Vegas, My Bloody Valentine and Squarepusher.Sofia Coppola has, with two elegant movies, proved herself a talented director with a keen eye for interior life. She's also got great ears. For Lost in Translation, the story of a May-December friendship in Tokyo between two displaced Americans, the score is a tonic for jetlag. Coppola prescribes a dose of shoegazer pop, from My Bloody Valentine's chiming "Sometimes" to Jesus & Mary Chain's fuzzed-out "Just Like Honey." The music nails the hazy conscious state of actors Bill Murray (as a movie star with a midlife crisis) and Scarlet Johansson (as an emotionally marooned twenty-something). It also provides a safe, warm envelope in which they can enact their overseas adventures. Working with producer Brian Reitzell, whose band Air scored her previous Virgin Suicides, Coppola lured Valentine's Kevin Shields into providing several slices of dreamy indie-rock and sonic wallpaper, as stylish as it is formless. There's a welcome bit of Japanese goofiness, a funhouse-mirror reflection of U.S. folk-rock courtesy of early-1970s band Happy End. And a "hidden" track provides the audio of Murray, in the film, doing his sleepy karaoke version of Roxy Music's "More Than This." --Marc Weidenbaum
