Free Music Notes for Music From The OC: Mix 5
Free Music Review: A Great Taste of Music
Hit: 5 Stars
I absolutely LOVE this mix 5 album from the OC (which by the way is an amazing show by the way). There is such smart, cutting edge music on this compilation, and I love how the OC gives viewers a chance to listen to 5 star indie music that they won't here on the radio. As Summer Roberts would say, "Indie rock is like the new pop rock." Well said.
Some of my favorite tracks would be the beautifully somber "I Wish I Was Dead" by the Shout Out Louds, a great cover of the classic "Forever Young" by Youth Group, the haunting "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" by Stars, and Imogen Heaps "Hide and Seek," which sounds similar to Bjork and is absolutely lovely.
Besides these standout tracks, I also do enjoy most of the other tracks: "Rock and Roll Queen," "Reason is Treason," "Publish My Love," "Requieum for O.M.M," "Kids with Gunds," and "California 2005." This version of "California" is an acoustic version, and although I prefer the upbeat original version, this kinda solemn one is great too.
So yeah, that only leaves two tracks that I'm so into: "Daft Punk is Playing in My House" and "Na Na Naaa". I mean, they're OK, but I'm not really feeling them.
Regardless, this is an extroadinary mix. I am in love with so many of these wonderful songs, and it totally gives off that OC vibe. I listen to them and I instantly picture the OC. I definately recommend this mix if you enjoy the music they play on the show or if you're into indie rock. I maybe heard of two or three of the bands on this album, but I was blown away by how amazing these unknown bands were. Oh, and the booklet is also very well crafted. It resembles a senior yearbook so they're a bunch of signatures from all your favorite characters to each other. It's so cute! There's even some suprise messages from characters no longer on the show, such as Anna! Fabulous. Fabulous album.
Music From The OC: Mix 5 Poster
For the first time in its unprecedented and now five-album series, Music from the O.C. will be catapulted by the first on-show performance that is also the track to radio from a Music From the O.C. album. With The Subways' "Rock & Roll Queen" leading the way, alongside new and recent tracks from such cutting edge artists as the Shout Out Louds, Imogen Heap, LCD Soundsystem and Phantom Planet, Music from the O.C.: Mix 5 is a smart, sharp, indie-alt-modern rock from what is the musically hippest show on TV.If this CD were to be put in a time capsule to be opened in a hundred years, it would give musicologists of the future a pretty fair idea of commercial-minded pop circa 2005. Rarely has a TV show so captured a certain musical zeitgeist as well as The OC has, to the point that the series has become one of the best ways for smallish bands to break through. Collecting songs that have appeared in seasons 2 and 3, this CD is remarkably consistent in its aesthetics: Obviously in 2005 cool kids have been listening to a lot of very danceable rock and pop (Kasabian's "Reason Is Treason," LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House," Gorillaz's "Kids With Guns," Kaiser Chiefs' "Na Na Na Na Naah") tempered by a smiden of articulate, sensitive songwriting (Shout-Out Louds' "Wish I Was Dead Pt. 2," Stars' "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"). The tracks here aren't innovative, but they are remarkably easy to like--even love. The real gems are actually tucked in at the end of the album: Phantom Planet's wistful reworking of the show's theme song, "California 2005," and Imogen Heap's dreamy, Vocoderized Kate Bush-like "Hide and Seek." --Elisabeth Vincentelli
