This ain't the sort of music that I normally listen to...,

Every so often, an album comes out that redefines how you listen to music. This is one of those albums. I'll readily admit to an eclectic music collection, but I've never particularly cared for rap or hip-hop. This soundtrack (and in particular, the contributions from Control Machete) has caused me to reexamine my view on the genre. I first became aware of the music from the trailer to the film (still haven't seen it yet), and was so blown away by Control Machete's De Amores Perros which appears in the trailer, that I decided that it would be worth twenty bucks just to own that one song. Interestingly, while there's a lot of crossing boundaries, it's the music that's farthest away from my usual listening (the hip hop material) that captures my listening the most and that will almost certainly drive my own writing in new directions.-dh

Retrato exelente de la pelicula,
November 25, 2000 Enrique Guevara (Monterrey N.L. Mex) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amores Perros (2000 Film) (Audio CD)
Este CD doble es, una muestra de lo que puede llegar a representar un sound track bien planeado y dirigido, hecho especialemte para la pelicula o con canciones para las cuales estan hechas las pelicula. Tiene desde "La vida es un carnaval" de Celia Cruz, hasta "artilleria pesada" de Control Machete. Estas como canciones ya hechas pero que forman parte de la cinta. Las conciones hechas "a la medida" fueron cordinadas por Gustavo Santaolalla y compuestas por los mejores musicos "urabanos", si se me permite el termino, de Mexico. Un CD que igual puede oirse escucharse o ponerese de Banda Sonora en nuestra vida diaria.
