4.0 out of 5 stars Regarding the missing "violin" song..., March 12, 2006

This review is from: XXX: State of the Union (Audio CD)

For those interested, the "violin" song played during the party was "VICTORY", performed by BOND, (Haylie Ecker, Eos Chater, Tania Davis & Gay-Yee Westerhoff...yes that's 4 girls, not 3), and I too was very entertained by the entire movie, its soundtrack with ALL the various numbers a very pleasing experience for me. BOND has their own web site, Amazon.com also has their albums available. I just wish I could find their 3 videos they have produced.

This is a great soundtack as every song is mint. Sad that they did not chose to add the Awesome and talented group BOND. Yes that is the group playing at the party where Icecube is wearing the Tux. I know there is an earlier entry wanting to know who they are. This 52 year old enjoyed the hell out of the movie and CD!!

Jive Records recently released the soundtrack XXX State of the Union: Music From The Motion Picture. The music is high energy and you can only imagine that when the movie opens later this week it matches the energy of the soundtrack. The first single is the song "Get XXX'D" by J-Kwon featuring Petey Pablo and Ebony Eyez. You remember J-Kwon from his hit single "Tipsy." This is a great soundtrack song.

Ice Cube, the films star is at his best on the track "Anybody Seen The PoPo's?" Ice Cube may be an actor/producer/director but he prooves that he can still carry a track on his own. He even addresses Bill Cosby on this track. Bill Cosby has made several controversal comments about the African-American community in the past year and a half. Pimp My Ride host Xzibit teams up with hard rock group Korn for a remake of the Public Enemy classic "Fight The Power." It would be easy to say that they ruined this song, but just approach the song as a very different version than the original. It sounds perfect for the movie.

POD really sets it off with the song "The Payback." This is easily one of the best songs on the album. Suprisingly, this song is not featured in the movie per the details on the CD, but it's a really great song. Another awesome song on the album is "Dirty Little Thing" by Velvet Revolver. This high energy track just makes you want to drive fast.

The album isn't all rock. Check for Big Boi, Killer Mike, Bubba Sparxx, Youngbloodz, Chingy, and Bone Crusher on the CD. The song, "Dis Dat Block," by The Youngbloodz is awesome and the track is solid. The Youngbloodz are so uner-rated but they always bring fire.

Rock and rap reunite when Public Enemy teams with Moby on the track "MKLVFKWR." This is a really different sounding song. It's good though. Bone Crusher and Three Days Grace get things rockin with the song "Just Like Wylin'." This song freakin' rocks.

I personally love this soundtrack and the soundtrack producers did a really good job by combining all of these different artists and types of music on one CD. Whereas some soundtracks tire easily, this one has staying power.
