Editorial Reviews

Product description

New, lacks shrink wrap. Disc never played. Fast first-class shipping, tracking.

Amazon.com

At its best, the soundtrack to Smoke Signals is a beautiful experience--simple orchestrations with plaintive flute and guitar (just check out "Arnold Is Dead") give the soundtrack to this Native American-directed, -written, and -acted film an introspective feel. Too often, however, the otherwise moving score by B.C. Rich resorts to standard rock clichés. The electric guitar used throughout has a generic '80s metal sound, which does little to enhance the film's tone (unlike the included and wonderful vocal contributions from Native American ensembles Ulali and the Eaglebear Singers). Guitar-shaded soundtracks can work extremely well (check out the excellent Gas Food Lodging score). Here, however, the ax is up-front and distracting. It's a shame because on more subdued tracks like "Charles Bronson," "Fry Bread Riot," and "That's My Father," the Northwest Sinfonia is simply sublime. Cuts by singer/songwriters Dar Williams and Jim Boyd are also featured, making this soundtrack all the more powerful. --Jason Verlinde

    My 84 year old dad said he would really like to have the soundtrack to this movie - the one he had was no more. Found it here on Amazon and ge could not be happier. ❤️ Quality is as expected

    Hopefully, it played well with no scratches.

    Love the movie and many of Sherman Alexie's books (I've read The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven numerous times and loved it each time.) Love this soundtrack.
    I don't understand the few reviewers who said they liked the movie but hated this soundtrack. It is the same music played in the movie except all the songs/pieces are played in their entirety.

    Has a great broad selection of Native musical presentations. Gives all Nations a chance to hear and compare traditional mixed with modern rock/pop. good vocals. I don't' recall that many songs in the movie, but maybe they just wanted to give everybody a chance to record a song. I did feel that it was worth passing on to my prison buddies, lodge firends, and powwow buddies that hadn't heard it.

    Just plain good music. Native sounds, country sounds, pop sounds and all carrying soul. If the song to our fathers doesn't move you...you may already be dead.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2008
    I laughed so hard that I fell into another Universe. Why wasn't someone holding on to my belt? This is an awe inspiring testimony to the humanity inherent in Alexie's work also to his ability to poke fun at his audience's pre-conceived notions about Native Americana. This movie does move me. I am a father,son,brother and renter of pre-conceived notions. I change them like I change my jeans ( once a month ). The cast and crew must have gained altltude making this one. I may never return to the old Universe. This one has no reservations.
