レビュー (Amazon)
Based on this soundtrack, the future of England sounds awfully familiar: a bit of classic-rock excess (Deep Purple's exhilarating "Hush," with its lengthy Jon Lord organ solo; an edited version of King Crimson's "The Court of the Crimson King") and a bit of jittery neopunk (the Libertines' "Arbeit Macht Frei"); a dash of super-deep dub (both Kode9 & the Spaceape's "Backward" and Pressure's "Money Honey" are endowed with bowel-shaking bass) and the obligatory left-field cover (Franco Battiato's Italian-accented "Ruby Tuesday"). Fitting the mood and concept of Alfonso Cuaron's sci-fi movie, the most impressive tracks are the ones that sound the most high-tech ominous, like the aforementioned "Money Honey," Cyrus (Random Trio)'s "Indian Stomp" and Roots Manuva's tense hip-hop "Witness." Former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker provides an ironically bittersweet, drum-machine-propelled coda with "Running the World," showing that on his own or with a band, he's one of the best lyricists England's ever produced--no wonder his track is right next to one by John Lennon. Note that John Tavener’s score appears on a separate CD. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
