Dance culture, and the rave scene in particular, has been a potentially ripe film topic for years, so when Groove was released to heavy buzz at the Sundance film festival, Sony Pictures immediately saw a possible summer sleeper. With John Digweed making a cameo appearance, as well as a savvy mixture of featured music throughout the movie, Groove's soundtrack will do nothing but contribute to the film's success. West Coast dance fixture Wish FM, a.k.a. Wade Hampton, serves as the film's music supervisor, and he comes up with a compelling mix that nicely parallels the momentum of the movie's broiling dance-floor sequences. Starting off with some light house, then darkening his touch into deeper, more trancing territory, Wish reaches a zenith with Digweed's "Heaven Scent," using its soaring keyboard refrain as a natural peak. There are peaks all over this record, though, as Orbital's "Halycon + On + On" and Scott Hardkiss's mix of Alter Ring's "Infinitely Gentle Blows," with its electrified vocal mishmash, provide ever-entrancing moments of turntable bliss. The movie's director, Greg Harrison, has said he intended the film to act "as an authentic document of a time in youth culture history"--his movie's soundtrack is definitely that. --Matthew Cooke

Summary: Missing a lot of music from the movie, but a good soundtrack 2008-12-29
Comment: I gave this soundtrack only 4 stars because it is missing a LOT of music from the movie.
However, this doesn't necessarily mean it is bad.
I agree that a lot of the "industrial" sound is missing from this CD. I am disappointed by that. I am also sad that "Heaven Scent" by Digweed is NOT the version in the movie! >sigh<
When will the soundtrack folks realize how important having the SAME MIX of the music in the movie on the soundtrack is REALLY important to us music fans?!?!
But the music represented here is a good mix in its own right. (If you are ripping this to mp3, make sure to make it a 'continuous album'. It doesn't sound right unless continuously flowing in the intended sequence.)
So, if you decide to buy this, here is how to look at it:
Buy it for GOOD techno dance music. DON'T buy it expecting it to match the movie.
Happy listening!

Summary: Get your "Groove" on. 2004-07-13
Comment: I thought the movie was actually pretty acurate, and this soundtrack does a good job too. It may be missing a few songs, but what's here is all worthy, and the continuous mix is a big plus. "Girls Like Us" is a catchy start, and I really like how "Halycon + On + On", "Anomaly (calling your name)", and "Heaven Scent" flow into each other, and the disc ends nicely as well. Overall this may not be the perfect selection, but if raves and trance/dance are your thing, then this should get you in the "Groove".

Summary: We need more 2004-03-19
Comment: This CD is good but a lot of songs from the movie were left out. I read rumors of a second CD but that seems to have faded away...too bad. As another reviewer pointed out, an awesome track called Bluebottle by POB (which I found on the CD "Platipus Beginner's Guide") is missing. I didn't know the track's name before buying this disc and was disappointed that it wasn't here. I thought it was the best track in the movie. Overall, still a CD worth owning.

Summary: Curious 2004-01-30
Comment: I really enjoyed the movie, I think it captured the spirit of a rave pretty well. I haven't bought the soundtrack yet for one simple reason. I've heard most of the songs on the sndtrk and I dont think it contains the song I'm looking for, which I dont know the name.Its been awhile since I've seen the movie, but the song is playing as some of the characters go into the *chill room*. Its a real ambient song, slower beat, easier to chill to. If anyone knows the name of the song/artist, It'd be great to know. I wasn't too happy with the rest of the tracks on the album as it left out alot of the mixes from the movie.
