Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Richard, a young traveler with a curiosity streak that leads him to Thailand in search of adventure. This video-game fanatic finds himself following a map that supposedly leads to an island paradise. The accompanying soundtrack mixes the technological fascination with the exotic journey of the jungle, featuring several ambient electronica tracks (Underworld's epic "Ball," Leftfield's "Snakeblood") and other tracks mixed for futuristic sound. New Order provide the previously unreleased "Brutal," representing the sharper end of their spectrum, with a heavier guitar mix than usual. Asian Dub Foundation provide a modern interpretation of dub legend Lee "Scratch" Perry's "Return of Django." Sugar Ray expand their range with the calypso groove of Brian Eno and John Cale's "Spinning Away," and it's an unexpected gem. Bratty Britpoppers Blur remix "On Your Own" to sound like a video game gone beserk. Film scorer Angelo Badalamenti brings things full circle with the surprisingly upbeat collaboration with Orbital for the closing track "Beached." --Rob O'Connor


Product Description

The Beach Motion Picture Soundtrack includes New Order's "Brutal," the first new song available from this Brit troupe in a long time. The soundtrack also features a new track from multi-platinum English artists All Saints. The song, "Pure Shores," was produced by William Orbit (Madonna) and will be found on the band's forthcoming album. The soundtrack is rounded out by brand new songs/mixes from Sugar Ray, Blur & Faithless.

3.0 out of 5 stars The song not on this CD, August 16, 2003
By C. D. Phillips (Oakland, TN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
OK CD but I bought this CD looking for the song from the trailer for this movie and it is not there.
The song is "Touched" by "Vast" from their first CD "Visual Audio Sensory Theater". It took me forever to figure that out so I hope I can save you the time if you are looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars 100% satisfied, February 11, 2000
By "ruban909" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
The Beach soundtrack has a variety of music. It's dark, happy, sad, and energetic. Leftfield's "Snakeblood" starts the disc with a gloomy feel. This begins to change with the next few songs including "Pure Shores" from All Saints, Moby's emotional "Porcelain"(which is THE best) and Sugar Ray's "Spinning Away". These songs inject that sensational feeling of being on a beach....just close your eyes. Blur's "On Your Own" and "Woozy" from Faithless begin to direct the mood towards the chaotic side. Hard beats, fast, and disorienting which, in the end, leaves a sense of "panic" over you. The last song, "Beached" falls under the ambient/dance catagory. The perfect closing track. I bought this soundtrack primarily for Moby's "Porcelain" (in search of it ever since first hearing it in a commercial). I was worried about being disappointed with the remaining tracks, but the entire disc turned out to be fantastic. This is definitely recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yumyum, February 6, 2000
By A Customer
This is a lovely cd to own, one that's good for complimenting dark moods. This cd has a great mix of songs (many with thumping dance beats, for example, the song by Blur), All Saints throws in their two cents as well, and the song is surprisingly good, thankfully not reminiscent of their overplayed hit "Never Ever." Moby's song is really breathtaking and one of my favorites. Another favorite is "Yeke yeke"<--it's sung in another language and features more hard hitting dance beats. Sugar Ray's song is a great change from the normally radio friendly songs they spit out. The last few songs kind of run into eacthother but are still nice additions (here comes the really mysterious/dark/enchanting part of the cd). If you're in love with feel-good, sunshine-y songs, look elsewhere; I've not seen the movie yet, but these songs seem to really capture the spirit of the book.
