Free Music Notes for Death Proof
Free Music Review: a Tarantino sountrack
Hit: 4 Stars
Once again, director Quentin Tarantino brings us a collection of forgotten treats for his latest movie's soundtrack. Opening with the throttle filled Last Race from composer Jack Nitzsche, I felt that I was going to be in for a ride. I don't find all the tracks to be pure gems, and the usual dialogue spots sort of get in the way, but some of these are worth ever penny and more. Eddie Floyd, a Stax regular, and Joe Tex bring the soul during their joint-juke scene, making you want to cry out your love's name. Smith's cover of Baby It's You outdoes the Shiriles' standard, and is the real hard-to-find long-lost track. The Dave, Dee, Dozy... track, Hold Tight, is great english mod, and lives up to its introduction from the movie's sexy DJ. The movie's closing track, April March's Chick Habit is a swinging, sleezy french-pop gem that borrows itself into the skull (at least mine)like the first time I heard the 5,6,7,8's (until Vonage started using it in their adds, ruining the insanly fun go-go tune). Although I don't enjoy the whole thing, these tracks make-up for any disappointment, and will become a favorite in my library.Free Music Review: Another fantastic soundtrack from Tarantino
Hit: 5 Stars
When I discovered that the soundtrack for Grindhouse was split in two, I was honestly very pleased. This meant a complete set of songs for both films (and each is certainly long enough to qualify as a feature film) and therefore another complete Tarantino score to add to my collection.
Tarantino has made a misstep or two in his career like most filmmakers, but his soundtracks have never, ever missed the mark. Death Proof is no exception. Regardless of how you feel about this one, the soundtrack is fantastic. As per usual, it is a collection of quasi-obscure 70's rock and R&B, interspersed with film dialogue you're likely to smile to, and some vintage Ennio Morricone.
In my opinion, this is in close competition with the Pulp Fiction soundtrack (which I feel is a benchmark for good scoring), and makes for excellent listening in the car, as it flows quite well, genre-jumping around a little less than the former.
The verdict... Buy it!
