Good, But Missing Some Vital Tracks,
November 17, 2001 John Peterson "bigtimemusiclover" (Marinette, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casino: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
While admittedly there are terrific songs on this soundtrack, the running order could have been organized better (even if Robbie Robertson did put this collection together). Many times I had to reprogram just to listen to it all the way through, something I didn't have to do with the short but sweet "Goodfellas" soundtrack. And where is Ray Charles's "Stella By Starlight" and Jerry Vale's "Love Me The Way I Love You", two very prominent songs in the movie! It's personal preference to be sure, but that's what this forum is all about, right?It's still an enjoyable soundtrack as all the other reviewers allude to. Peace.

Wonderful,

This review is from: Casino: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
When Martin Scorsese put out "GoodFellas", the soundtrack was very good yet very limited because lots of songs were missing. For his next DeNiro-Pesci Mob Film, he had Robbie Robertson organize the music (as he did in Scorsese's "The Color of Money") and the results are very impressive. There is such a good mix of songs that echo scenes from the film. The best example being Jeff Beck's "I Ain't Superstitious". Whenever that comes on I think of that scene where DeNiro catches the guy at the casino cheating. Or when "Matthaus Passion" comes on I think of the scene in the end where they show a montage of casinos exploding. Such a fine film deserves a soundtrack that equals it and that is exactly what this album is. Scorsese knows how to direct and he knows how important the music is as well. This is the finest example of that and it is one of the greatest albums out there. If I could only bring one album on a stranded island...Read more

missing songs or different versions,

..i noticed that there are no Rolling Stones songs on this. I'm thinking that if this did include the Stones, instead of paying $32.99 for the soundtrack, we'd all be paying $60 due to the licensing fees involved...
.just a thought.
..also, this cd compilation includes the instrumental version of "The In-Crowd", not the vocal version featured in the movie.
..I'm not complaining, mind you, because this soundtrack still rocks (and rolls)..4 Stars, hands down..
