This is a gorgeous collection of sensuous techno music. I'd heard of only a few of the artists featured on the CD, but now I certainly want to know more by them all. It's a perfect CD for that passionate dinner date, or for a relaxing night, or just for simple enjoyment. If the movie is anything like the CD... wow.

What a wonderful collection of music. While listening to this CD, it just makes you want to move around the room with another person. The music has an erotic undertone to it that almost acts as an afrodiziac. It is definitely one that I will play while spending time with that special someone.

Center of the World is sometimes a hard movie to watch. It explicitly puts a price tag on not just sex but an entire weekend with another person. Yet as I watched the movie and thought about answers to the questions it was posing, I was constantly enveloped by its array of sultry music.

This soundtrack conveys the dark, smoky, empty intimacy of the movie very well, using mostly downbeat, international unknowns to cast a spell on the listener. There is a bit of a trip hop feel to some tracks, most notably Laika's "Black Cat Bone" and Nickie Love's "Daylight Tripping," while Bob Holroyd's "The Sheer Weight of Memory" and Kingsuk Biswas' "Currents" make me think of Enigma or Dreadzone. Suba's "Tantos Desejos (So Many Desires)" sounds like a Sade song translated into Spanish. Only Joe Henry's "Mean Flower" sounds a little out of place on a disc with such an exotic feel to it, but even this jazzy track fits in its own way.

A very steamy CD, just about perfect given the right occasion.
