Free Music Notes for Traffic: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Outstanding Work
Hit: 5 Stars
This one was another accidental find that pleasently suprised my musical pallet. This is one of those soundtracks that make you WANT to see the movie if you havnt seen it before (like myself). The Amazon samples dont really do it justice, but then again, 30 seconds of even the most beautiful of music isnt really going to give you a feel for how good something is. Cliff Martinez has some great talent hidden in him, I hope he gets to work on more stuff, because his sound is awsome!
So anyway, back to the score. As I said, this is one of those soundtracks that make you want to go see the movie. The entire album has a very dark tone, very Training Day ish, or what Training Day's score COULD have sounded like. "Helicopter" is a great starter, and is followed by tracks with the same type of dark tone with enough difference between the songs to keep them from sounding repeatative all the way up until "You Two Dont Like Me" which breaks the consistant mellowed mood set for you until that point. This track, and "The Police Wont Find Your Car" are probably the closest thing to upbeat as this soundtrack is going to get, which is by no meanas a bad thing.
A downside to this CD is the handful of tracks thrown in there at the very end, like "Beethovan's Piano Sanata" and "Give the Po Man A Break" by other artists kinda break the flow of the album. Thats not to say that I dont like them, but a couple of them just didnt fit well or belong there at all (Brian Eno's track at the end was pretty good though).
Soundtrack lovers, you definitly have to get this for your collection, and if you can, grab Narc as well, which is Martinez's other great piece of work.
Traffic: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Poster
Directed by Steven Soderbergh ('The Limey', 'Out Of Sight' and 'Sex, Lies and Videotape'), which is a good sign, he's a great director and the music for his films works on the same level. The score is by Cliff Martinez (ex- Red Hot Chili Peppers), Herbie Hancock and Flea as well as tracks by Fatboy Slim, Morcheeba & Rockers Hi Fi remixed by Kruder & Dorfmeister. 18 tracks. Standard jewel case. 2000 release.This taut thriller bringing Michael Douglas and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, together in director Steven Soderbergh's look at the unwinnable war on drugs features a subliminal, seductively ambient soundtrack that pulses with a foreboding sense of doom. Composer Cliff Martinez, who worked for a spell with Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, enlists Chili Peppers bassist Flea and jazz keyboard legend Herbie Hancock for two tracks, then fills out the rest with lush symphonic scores courtesy of programmer Jeff Rona. Additionally, tracks from Fatboy Slim, Morcheeba, and ambient pioneer Brian Eno shake things up a bit. One song ("The Police Won't Find Your Car") has been omitted from the film, but is included here as a bonus. --Rob O'Connor
