5.0 out of 5 stars Angelo Badalamenti! That explains why the soundtrack is AMAZ, August 5, 2003

Angelo Badalamenti! That explains why the soundtrack is AMAZING!
Wow, this movie was so great, but the movie's music was an ultra sexy crutch that made it so stellar with the plot and story! Whenever there are new sounds I fall for in movies, this guy has been the common thread behind it all. He "is" truly AMAZING! THANK YOU ANGELO!

4.0 out of 5 stars Titles are misleading, September 1, 2008

This review is from: Secretary [Music from the Motion Picture] (Audio CD)

I came to this product hoping that I would finally find the version of "Chariots Rise" that Lizzie West recorded for the film--she changed "what a fool am I / to fall so in love" to "what grace have I." If you're looking for the same thing, be careful. I listened to the sample soundtrack on iTunes, and was disappointed to find that "Chariots Rise" was the older version. I'd be wary of buying this one if that version of the song is important to you.

This said, the score was essential to my enjoyment of the film, and if I ever find out that this soundtrack is somehow different from the iTunes version, I'll absolutely buy it.

This is the album I've been looking for, and did not know it. Jerry McCulley has already written an outstanding review on the Amazon.com order page. I cannot improve on his words and I agree 150%. You don't need to see the R-rated movie to enjoy this disc or it's bass-y theme. Get out your boring paperwork, gift-wrapping, garage clean-up plans, etc., pop this disc in the machine and enjoy the evocative sounds while you work. Are you a fan of Ramsey Lewis (band leader who recorded the 60's hit "The In-Crowd")? As bizarre as it seems, Lewis, 40 years later, comes to mind. Enjoy, my friend!
