5.0 out of 5 stars Where do you go to my lovely?, February 12, 2008

By 

E. Anderson - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Darjeeling Limited (Audio CD)

I have to admit that I haven't seen THE DARJEELING LIMITED. The reason I have picked up the soundtrack is for the music, especially by Sathajit Ray. I am fascinated by Indian music and that fascination is what led me to pick up THE DARJEELING LIMITED. I love how the soundtrack is mixed between Satyajit Ray's film scores, classical music, and classic rock songs by The Rolling Stones and The Kinks. Surprisingly enough, the combinations of these diverse sounds really worked for me. I love how the soundtrack starts off with the lovely folk song "Where Do You Go to (My Lovely)" by Peter Sarstedt. There isn't a single song on the entire soundtrack that made me want to hit the skip button on my stereo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Soundtrack, October 31, 2007

I was immeadiately attracted to the movie and the soundtrack when I heard the background music in the TV movie trailer.

The 2 Kinks songs featured in the trailer are a couple of my favorites. Strangers is a Dave Davies song and one of his best, it makes me very happy to see it get some exposure.

I have read that Wes Anderson was a big Kinks fan and had considered using nothing but Kinks songs on the Rushmore soundtrack. (I always thought the plotline paralleled the theme of Schoolboys in Disgrace)

He has always done a phenomenal job of selecting quirky songs that set the mood for his films, thats probably why I own more Wes Anderson movie sountracks than from any other director. Great Stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wes Anderson movies have great scores., October 30, 2007

Wes Anderson always has great music in his movies, and this is just more evidence of that.

The Indian music is beautiful, and holds up on its own without the imagery from the film. Great to relax to.

And as for the other songs, the flow is not interrupted at all. The blending of The Kinks and the Stones with the rest of the album is flawless... and the choices of songs from these artists is perfect. "Hidden gems," you could say.

Definitely worth it.
