Free Music Notes for Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof
Free Music Review: How does he do it???
Hit: 5 Stars
Any time a new Tarantino movie comes out, I'm amazed at how much I love the music. Even though the music is rarely in my preferred genre. I'm a hard rock lover, and Tarantino's tastes lie more in the field of pop/rock. Usually older, lesser-known pop/rock. He has an amazing talent for plucking these forgotten songs out of obscurity and using them to stunning effect in his films. Death Proof is no exception. As usual, it contains of wide variety of musical styles. The soundtrack features the likes of T. Rex's Jeepster, Jack Nitzsche's The Last Race, Ennio Morricone, and a wonderful pop song from forgotten '60s pop group, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich called Hold Tight. The real gem on the soundtrack, in my opinion, is April March's Chick Habit, which appears over the end credits. As one reviewer previously stated, once you hear it this song will remain with you for a long time. But that's okay, it's a great song. Where does Tarantino find this music? He's a great filmmaker and a genius with soundtracks. Check out this music, it's the perfect companion piece to Tarantino's excellent film, Death Proof. The better of the two Grindhouse features in my opinion. One of the reasons that Death Proof is so good is this wonderful, distinctive soundtrack. Fantastic from beginning to end.Free Music Review: Excellent soundtrack - and quit whining about the sound quality!
Hit: 5 Stars
From the opening engine revs of Jack Nitzsche's "The Last Race" to the fadeout of April March's bouncy "Chick Habit", the soundtrack to "Death Proof" perfectly captures the feel of the movie, and once again testifies to Quentin Tarantino's ability to create the right mood in his selection of sometimes-obscure but always-appropriate songs for his soundtracks.
The people who are complaining about the sound quality of the songs on this collection have missed the point entirely. The majority of these songs are clearly depicted in the movie as being played from old vinyl 45's on the jukebox at the Texas Chili Parlor...the jukebox which in real life belongs to Tarantino himself. It's likely that these tracks were taken from the records in that same jukebox, and rightly so, because every hiss, scratch, and pop in those tracks only adds to the flavor and atmosphere of the movie. The sooner you understand this, the sooner you can fully enjoy this soundtrack for what it truly is.
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!

Free Music Review: super sick
Hit: 5 Stars
This soundtrack is practically perfect. One can listen to it over and over, without ever getting tired of the songs, specifically because the artists are so varied and heterogeneous. Tarantino's finely tuned ear is responsible for this flawless collection of songs. We'd been exposed to the musical style Tarantino favors in his previous films; that is, retro music, from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Deathproof was no exception, where Tarantino drew from Jack Nitzsche and T.Rex alike. DDDBM&T's sixties song "Hold Tight" is delightfully addicting, while April March's much more recent memorable cover of "Chick Habit" is instantly identifiable with the film. All in all, I'd have to recommend this as a perfect soundtrack to an absolutely fabulous film!
