I bought this CD after coming across the movie on cable- I'd never heard of it before, but the music caught my attention, and I watched it to the end. When I saw there was a soundtrack available, I ordered it immediately! It's just a really great mix of songs that make you want to get up and shake it all over your house (as my sister and I usually do when I pop this one into the CD player) (yes we're dorks). I especially love "Cumbia Del Surf", it reminds me of a song I heard as a child. If you've never bought any Latin music before but want to start somewhere (other than with Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony or Jennifer Lopez), this is a great one to begin with!

All in all, a pretty awesome find. The raw stinging flavors of the songs are hotter than chilli, colder than ice, and the rhythms will have the dead dancing. I was sent this by a friend after saying I enjoyed the black humored film of the same name. The amazing collection on this CD captures perfectly the raw energy and passion Ricky Martin only managed to hint at on "Livin' La Vida Loca" and has failed to capture since. This is the real deal, not the sanitized over-produced sickly-safe "pop version" of Latin and S. American music for 13 year olds as purveyed by Martin, Lopez & Co.

Quentin Tarantino has a knack of unearthing gems for the soundtracks of films he's involved with (Pulp Fiction, Dusk Till Dawn etc.) and this is no exception.

My favourite here is Marta Sanchez & Slash doing "Obsession Confession", which totally blows away everything on "Supernatural" by Santana.

Put this on at a party and you won't have to wait long for the riot squad to arrive.

I stupidly lent this to a DJ friend last week and the entire club was almost trashed in under an hour with everyone dancing on the tables, the bar, the roofs of cars outside;

We're gonna try it again next weekend....

This is a great CD, I would highly reccommend it to anyone of the baby boomer age. It is great for dinner party music, I have had many people asking for the name of the CD. The movie is very good too!

Forget everything you thought you knew about rock guitar legend, Slash. His classical instrumental 'Obsession COnfession' is simply a masterpiece. Its hypnotic and not a single person ive played it for believes its actually Slash... that Slash! Its a beautiful track in my (and many friends) opinion its worth buying this record just for his solo track.

Buy, enjoy and trust me, i love Rage Against the Machine, Sublime, Bobby Darin, Velvet Revolver, Martin Denny.... from someone with a wide range of musical interests this track is one of mankinds best works of 6-stringed art.

Perfect. I was looking for this for over 5 years, and I couldn't get it. It's in perfect condition, like new. Thank you.

...One of the best Latin soundtrack albums in a long time since the Mambo Kings. This collection of various artists will want to make the listener try to find albums by some of the various artists presented here; I know it made me do just that. Curdled offers some awesome cumbias and other various Columbian Latin rhythms that come from further down south (or north) than just Mexico; Can you say Central and South America ?...

Stepped on the CD by incidence - the movie wasn't shown in Germany - and loved it from the beginning. It shows a part of the great variety, modern and as well with respect to classic sounds.
