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!

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!

The soundtrack to SECRETARY is absolutely amazing! The music is sexy, intriguing, sensual and seductive; with a play between darkness and light. Lizzie West's "Chariots Rise" and Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" are wonderful, and are very appropriate for this film. The electro-acoustic instrumental tracks are pleasing to the ears...rarely do you find such unique music to enjoy. I highly recommend this soundtrack to anyone who enjoyed the film!!!

Great soundtrack! Great movie! Both the movie and sondtrack are a pleasant change from the same old same old.

But waiting no longer. It is now on i-T-u-n-e-s for their normal price. Well worth the money for the download. It is even better than I remembered from the movie.

Angelo Badalamenti also did the Holy Smoke! soundrtack and it is amazing! his unique, distinctive sound comes through on both soundtracks and the magical quality adds such a dimension to both films. for those trivia buffs, i was excited to find out that he also composed the theme song for the opening of Inside The Actors Studio (bravo). please check out the soundtrack and the movie (Holy Smoke! staring kate winslet & harvey keitel, directed by jane campion), they are both well worth your time.

This movie and soundtrack both make me so happy. And no other song turns me on as much as the one that plays during Lee's little fantasy sequence. Too bad I don't pay $35 for CDs.

Great movie, great score. Agreed. But what's with this $60 price at amazon.com? I'm getting pricing for 1/4 of that price elsewhere. Must be trying to take advantage of the lifestyle. I'll pass.

I am watching "Secretary" right now, probably for the millionth time, and so I decided to buy the soundtrack. It's great, but don't spend a lot of $$$, I found it quite easily on shopaol.com and I only spent $19.41, and that was with the 3-6 business day shipping!!!

***The "theme" song is superb, and I love "Chariots Rise", it is fabulous!!!***
