4.0 out of 5 stars
Get the original recordings., April 21, 2005
This review is from: Raising Arizona / Blood Simple: Original Motion Picture Soundtracks [2 on 1] (Audio CD)
This CD is not bad at all for the music that Carter composed.
He borrowed quite a bit from other sources and you can find them
right here on Amazon. The banjo music and yodel is by Pete Seeger
from the CD "Darling Corey And Goofing-Off Suite". The wonderful
Monkey Chant is the Balinese Ramayana Monkey Chant and can be found
on the CD "Bali: Golden Rain" in its original 22 minute version.

Whimsical and eerie, April 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Raising Arizona / Blood Simple: Original Motion Picture Soundtracks [2 on 1] (Audio CD)
I bought this for the fantastic Raising Arizona music (my favorite movie) and was a little disappointed. The music has been slightly redone, some of it pretty inexplicably (the main theme is done calypso style). And "Ode to Joy" on banjo, the music I most wanted from the film, is missing. But the dream sequence music is here, and it's all still enjoyable. I was surprised to find I enjoy the "Blood Simple" music more. I've only seen the movie once, so I can't say whether it's intact. But it's very creepy, a strange contrast to the goofy fun of the Raising Arizona music. All in all, a great CD, but lacking some of what I expected.

Missing the only reason I bought the soundtrack..., February 18, 2005
This review is from: Raising Arizona / Blood Simple: Original Motion Picture Soundtracks [2 on 1] (Audio CD)
I bought this soundtrack for the great Raising Arizona music that I heard while watching the DVD--the best part is the end credits with banjo etc. and a variation on "Ode to Joy". IT IS NOT THERE. Only one or two tracks I find enjoyable on the CD for a grand total of about 2 minutes.
