5.0 out of 5 stars Ultra catchy comp., October 2, 1999

By A Customer

The "Work" label has never failed me. This album twisted my arm and drove me to by others by Dan Bern, Elvis Costello(not work), Jamiroquai, Mary Lou Lord, And more are still being hunted. Dans the man, funny and sad simultaneusly( like BenFolds5 only wittier&wackier). I remember hearing some of these songs in the movie( rare for most soundtracks). None of the songs are unlistenable, and I reccomend it to anyone who enjoys the noir style of the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooundtrack captures the escence of the movies mood., September 25, 1999

By A Customer

The sound of this album portrays a real-life quality that most soundtracks don't have. The tracks by the Greyboy Allstars are great if you really liked the movie. The soundtrack is a good combination of both energy-filled tracks as well as deep emotional ones. Even though I liked the entire album, I would strongly recommend the first six songs to anyone, even if they havn't see the movie(which is, in my opinion, one of the best movies ever produced).

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect soundtrack, October 17, 2002

By	Shardovan (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

I bought this off Amazon.com used after seeing the movie. I thought the quirky music in the movie complemented the quirkiness of the central character in the movie, and because I'm all about the quirks, I got the soundtrack. Every track -- even the incidental music from The Greyboy Allstars -- is fantastic. Among my favorite tracks are Dan Bern's "One Dance," with its great beat and charmingly plantive lyrics, and Mary Lou Lord's "Some Jingle Jangle Morning." My only beef: where's the song that Daryl Zero was singing on his bed? Oh, well, no use quibbling.
