5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely astonishing soundtrack, May 26, 2002

Whilest no-one really saw "Human Nature", it was a good movie (in my opinion, I thought it was better than "Being John Malkovich"). Yet, whilest hardly anyone seeing it being a tragedy in itself, what's even more of a tragedy is how no-one will buy the soundtrack, despite the fact that it could possibly be one of the best albums of the year.

The most amazing thing is how the soundtrack jumps from genre to genre logically and with ease. Whilest there are many short orchestral tracks sprinkled throughout, many selections stand out. One of which is "You", which is a wonderful jazz melody. Then, there's the small "Waltzes" that adhere to the title very well. Also, the piano/violin movement "Allegrato in B Flat Major" is just an astonishing piece of work.

Yet, there are still some moments for craziness. Patrica Arquette sings "Hair Everywhere", which comes in both it's version as presented in the film and a danceable remix as well. One additional bonus is quite possibly one of the funniest songs since the Avalanches "Frontier Psychiatrist": "My Name Is Puff", which is a wonderous mish-mash of lines from the movie placed over a funky beat (and don't forget the teen-pop-ish vocals on the chorus ["It's an animal urge, Puff / Nothing to be ashamed of"]). The remix is jiggy as well.

So, whether you have or haven't seen the movie, it's no matter. Just know that the soundtrack is something not to be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't underestimate: this may be the best LP all year!, May 25, 2002

This soundtrack is absolutely breathtaking. All soundtracks are made to enhance the film itself; it's a known fact. Yet, there are so many things going on in "Human Nature" (which is an excellent movie by itself), it's hard to believe that one could ignore as much music was placed on this disc.

There are too many pieces to cover. The album masterfully goes over several genres without any sign of exhaustion. From the Patrica Arquette solo "Hair Everywhere" (and it's dance-oriented remix) to the the tender "Here With You", the album is absolutely sprawling. It covers jazz ("You"), politicts ("The Heights of Culture"), and even creepy French interludes ("Fais Do Do"). Other highlights include the nice "Waltzes No.'s 3, 4, 6, 12", the hilarious "My Name Is Puff" (and it's remix), and the breathtaking "Allegretto In B Flat Major".

From funk-pop to classical to jazz to comedy, this is one of the most pleasent surprises I've heard all year. I highly recommend it.
