3.0 out of 5 stars Nice soundtrack, but...., September 17, 2004

Don't purchase it if you're expecting the strongest music featured in Chungking Express. It does not have, surprisingly, the following tracks:

* California Dreamin' (The Mamas & the Papas)
* Things in Life (Dennis Brown)
* What a Difference a Day Makes (Dianah Washington)

I have no idea why....

1.0 out of 5 stars Its Not What You're Looking For, September 7, 2006

Jack Ryan "MoovieBuff" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chungking Express (Audio CD)

If you watched the movie and remember a few great songs, this is not where you will find them. "California Dreaming" by The Mamas and the Papas? Nope, not here. "Things In Life" by Dennis Brown (the jukebox song from the bar)? Nope, not here. "What a Difference a Day Makes" by Dinah Washington? You guessed it, not here. But the big kicker that you're going to love the most- that beautiful mezmerizing strings symphony from the opening scenes is here, well sort of- OK, not at all. Actually Fornication in Space is not the song we're talking about- in fact this song was never in the movie at all! Its a cheezy synthesizer *cover* of the symphonic strings piece. You're actually looking for Michael Galasso's "Baroque", and yep, you guessed it, its not here. What a farse. When you consider this Hong Kong import "soundtrack" if you actually want to call it that- consider other HK imports like bronze Rolex watches and you'll get the idea...
