5.0 out of 5 stars Subtle Magnificence, February 22, 2004

This review is from: The Brown Bunny (Audio CD)

The Brown Bunny Soundtrack is truly a gem. This compilation was put together by Vincent Gallo, the writer/director/actor behind the movie. His own music is very interesting and subtle; though, none of his music is on this album. (Check out "When" by Gallo)

On this particular album, the first five tracks are a mix of simple jazz, folk, and generally soft moody tunes. The last five tracks, however, are all performed by John Frusciante - Gallo's friend and collaborator.

The tracks performed by Frusciante apparently don't appear in the movie. According to Gallo, he listened to Frusciante's music extensively during the creative phases of the movie - including the actual filming. He was inspired by the music.

Understandably so. Frusciante's songs create a mood that one might describe as aching. Regardless, the guitar-work is profound. His choice of notes, along with the vintage tones that he and Gallo are both known for, produce a lasting effect. Frusciante's voice is an instrument in and of itself. His falsetto vocals aren't for everyone - they're an acquired taste. Either way, his vocals match well with the music, producing a remarkable package that should be enjoyed by all.

This soundtrack can hold its own against the best of them. If you like unique music that relates sadness or loneliness - this album is for you.

I can see why Vincent Gallo used the first 5 tracks in the movie. Hearing these tracks clearly brings back images of the movie and seemed to perfectly gel with the concept. Tracks 1, 3, 4, 6 are some of the best ive heard in months. Beautiful music. Highly recommended.

I bought this cd at a virgin records in dallas for $18.99. Apearently they just released another version in the us...but this is the only thing i've heard of it...its a white cover on tulip records.

the first five tracks are beautiful, but i bought the cd for john frusciantes tracks. These five songs are primarily acoustic and are definately not what i expected (Which is good). these songs have great guitar parts....they seem to be pretty experimental. They sound like darker "shadows collide with people" songs. Worth 20 bucks.
