A heartfelt and telling score to fit a brilliant movie. I am in love with "Up Against The Wind" by Lori Perri. It is such a passionate song telling Cleo's demise.

Christopher Young wrote the score to this film..There is another "soundtrack"album available for this film,containing urban vocals,but this is the SCORE album,and it is among Young's best...It has a funky jazz groove to it while at the same time conforming to the dictum that a score must compliment the activity taking place on screen..Alas,like most score albums,this one went rather quickly out of print,and is now available only as a "collector's item"...even so,if you can afford the price of admission then by all means buy this disc...you won't be disappointed...

I ordered this CD expecting to hear some songs from my favorite scenes, but when I heard it all, I was deeply disappointed. Not only was more than half of the movie missing, the tracks were not even in chronological order. I might as well list the movie moments that had music that aren't on the soundtrack.

1. When Stevie gets shot/Lorenz attacks the police in his apartment

2. The girls talk about robbing a bank (before they case the federal)

3. Stony meets Keith

4. Cleo triggers the car alarm

5. The girls rob the Balboa Savings & Loan

6. The girls learn Luther took their money

7. Cleo participates in a line-up

8. The girls rob Downtown Federal (the pre-robbery, the robbery, the getaway)

9. Frankie gets shot
