Sophia Coppola was so taken with French electronica duo Air's debut album Moon Safari that she asked them to write the score for her directorial debut The Virgin Suicides. Fans eagerly awaiting a proper follow up from the duo were not disappointed. The soundtrack featured 50% less vocals than Moon Safari, but that just means instead of two songs with vocals there was only one. Nobody comes to an Air party to hear people sing anyway.
With the type of subject matter that was tackled in the movie Trainspotting, it was going to take a special collection of songs to put together a soundtrack that made any kind of sense. The people responsible for the Trainspotting soundtrack pulled it off excellently. Mixing 90's britpop with classics from Lou Reed, New Order and, most memorably, Iggy Pop, works as a great listen even outside the context of the film.
Contrary to what Natalie Portman would have you believe, The Shins most likely will not change your life. If you've hit rock bottom and you're looking for a way out, "New Slang" isn't going to help. Try Jesus (or booze). With that said, if you're looking for a fantastic introduction to some bands you may very well still not have heard of (and Coldplay), this is a good place to look. The fact that it includes a Nick Drake tune makes this infinitely better than most soundtracks you will ever hear.
Just like the Singles soundtrack works as a soundtrack of the 90's, the Easy Rider soundtrack might as well be the soundtrack of the 60's. It even excludes the most important bands, just like Singles! Missing Beatles and Stones aside, there is greatness aplenty to be found here. Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix and The Band all make appearances. But the star of this show is Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild." You can't hear that song without picturing Peter Fonda on a Harley. Even if you weren't born when the movie came out.
No matter what you think about his movies, you have to admit, Quentin Tarantino has exquisite taste in music. When he releases a film, there is always a soundtrack with tons of great songs you've never heard on it to go along with it. My personal favorite is the Death Proof soundtrack. April March's "Chick Habit" over the closing credits was gold. But the Pulp Fiction soundtrack is where it all started. Al Green, Kool & The Gang, Dusty Springfield, an indie rock Neil Diamond cover. It's all pretty damn great.
