3.0 out of 5 stars The song not on this CD, August 16, 2003

OK CD but I bought this CD looking for the song from the trailer for this movie and it is not there.
The song is "Touched" by "Vast" from their first CD "Visual Audio Sensory Theater". It took me forever to figure that out so I hope I can save you the time if you are looking.

The Beach soundtrack has a variety of music. It's dark, happy, sad, and energetic. Leftfield's "Snakeblood" starts the disc with a gloomy feel. This begins to change with the next few songs including "Pure Shores" from All Saints, Moby's emotional "Porcelain"(which is THE best) and Sugar Ray's "Spinning Away". These songs inject that sensational feeling of being on a beach....just close your eyes. Blur's "On Your Own" and "Woozy" from Faithless begin to direct the mood towards the chaotic side. Hard beats, fast, and disorienting which, in the end, leaves a sense of "panic" over you. The last song, "Beached" falls under the ambient/dance catagory. The perfect closing track. I bought this soundtrack primarily for Moby's "Porcelain" (in search of it ever since first hearing it in a commercial). I was worried about being disappointed with the remaining tracks, but the entire disc turned out to be fantastic. This is definitely recommended.

This review is from: The Beach: Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This is a lovely cd to own, one that's good for complimenting dark moods. This cd has a great mix of songs (many with thumping dance beats, for example, the song by Blur), All Saints throws in their two cents as well, and the song is surprisingly good, thankfully not reminiscent of their overplayed hit "Never Ever." Moby's song is really breathtaking and one of my favorites. Another favorite is "Yeke yeke"<--it's sung in another language and features more hard hitting dance beats. Sugar Ray's song is a great change from the normally radio friendly songs they spit out. The last few songs kind of run into eacthother but are still nice additions (here comes the really mysterious/dark/enchanting part of the cd). If you're in love with feel-good, sunshine-y songs, look elsewhere; I've not seen the movie yet, but these songs seem to really capture the spirit of the book.
