if you are looking for the sexy african blues song heard twice in the movie,(once during foreplay and once during the bathtub scene)it is not included on this soundtrack CD. The tune you want is called 'Al Du' performed by an artist named Ali Farka Toure.It can be found on a CD titled 'Talking Timbuktu' with Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Toure.Other music not included on the soundtrack CD,that you heard during the first lovemaking scene when Diane Lane's stomach is in lusting seizure mode, are 2 tracks by 'Dead Can Dance'from their incredible 'Spiritchaser' CD. The songs are 'Devorzhum'and 'Dedicace Outo'.In my opinion both Talking Timbuktu and Spiritchaser are wonderful CDs. The soundtrack CD for Unfaithful is fine if you are looking for the score written for the movie by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek. Primarily piano and strings. But purchase the other CDs if you are wanting something to dance naked to.

For all those wondering who did the jazzy-African-sounding music missing from the soundtrack but in the movie, it's Ali Farka Toure. The song is "Ai Du" on the album "Talking Timbuktu," with Ry Cooder. This version has lyrics but it is hauntingly beautiful and sensual. Get it!

I have to confess that I have not bought this soundtrack but (probably, like most of you) was captivated by the songs played in the trailer. This soundtrack does NOT contain those songs BUT (after some research on the internet) I know where they can be found! If you have also seen the Minority Report and Spider-Man trailers, you have inevitably listened to this particular artist's other works. The group is called E.S. Posthumus and their record is Unearthed. It cannot be purchased anywhere except their website...which is a bit of a tragedy because I'm sure if others knew where this music was coming from this would be a VERY popular album. The specific song in the trailer is called Nara. There is also another song that was featured in the trailer that is not by this group. The song Rushing is by Moby and can be found on his older album entitled Play. I hope this helps other frustrated listeners!

The Unfaithful soundtrack is wonderfully haunting and if all you want is the background score you will be really pleased. However if you are looking for the African music that was playing during their dance scene and while they were in the tub then you need to search the amazon web page forthe album titled "Talking Timbuktu". The song is "Ai Du" and the artists are Ali Farka Torre & Ry Cooder.

I enjoyed this movie, as everyone that has seen it. Although when I went to buy the soundtrack, I was disapointed, just as others were, because I was looking for one particular song. I can only remember it as the "i brought muffins" or the "bath-tub" song. Luckily I found that the name of it is "Ai Du" by Ali Farka Toure with Ry Cooder. Thank goodness! I think that I speak for everyone when I say, I wish all soundtracks came with all songs played in movie, or at least a list of all the songs played. :)

Not only are the songs by E.S. Posthumus, Farka Toure, and Moby missing, but also a brilliant piano version of Radiohead's "Exit Music (for a film)" played by Brad Mehldau.

i loved the music in the movie, especially the jazzy/arabic sounding music paul played when they did it the first? time. that is NOT on the soundtrack, which i am disappointed about. but the album is nice, in a melancholy sort of way. anybody know what that music was? drop me a line if you can. ...

Please note that this soundtrack does NOT include all those nice jazzy pieces that were in the movie. This soundtrack is merely the score and is all instrumental. It is an okay cd if your are looking for some haunting music....

The name of that awesome song is Ai Du. Sung by Ali Farka, on the Talking Timbuktu album.
