5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Soundtrack To An Equally Brilliant Movie!!, April 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Slaughter Rule (Audio CD)

'The Slaughter Rule' is one of last year's best films and the soundtrack ranks alongside 'Paris,Texas' and 'Betty Blue'. The soundtrack flows beautifully from Jay Farrar's instrumentals to
a great collection of Americana music and back. All good soundtracks tell the story through music and this is one of those.

5.0 out of 5 stars musical haiku, March 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Slaughter Rule (Audio CD)

Like the very best haiku poetry, Jay Farrar provides us with minimalist snippets of pure emotion between alt.country gems. While the tunes are moving and well-done, it is once again Farrar who shines. His opening song, "Gather," is achingly beautiful. But it is the score pieces that I particulary love; just Farrar on guitar and other instruments. Even if you eschew soundtracks, you'll cherish this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alt-Country Heaven, March 6, 2003

This soundtrack is an excellent choice for all you "alt-country" lovers out there. Jay Farrar is a genius and has compiled some great songs here. Highlights include Jay's own "Gather", Neko Case's "Porchlight" and Ryan Adams' "To Be Young (Is to Be Sad, Is to Be High)". Farrar did a great job on the original score, which is also featured on this cd. I think I might watch the movie now too. ;-)
