EDITOR'S CHOICE: "OCEAN'S ELEVEN"

"Ocean's 11" David Holmes Our price: $16.99 | You save: $1.98
...available here.
The soundtrack to George Clooney's Rat Pack remake, "Ocean's Eleven," is a juicy collection of 21 songs composed or compiled by David Holmes, one of the world's most informed and inventive DJs. Anyone who's ever danced til dawn under Holmes's techno tutelage knows that he loves to throw in bits of music from different genres and eras, creating a fluid continuum of time and sound. That approach is found here as well; Holmes blends jazz, hip-hop, Elvis, and even Debussy seamlessly. It's the perfect music to accompany the debonair crook through Vegas's back doors.

COEN BROTHERS AND CARTER BURWELL

"The Man Who Wasn't There [SOUNDTRACK]" Original Score Our price: $14.99 | You save: $3.98
...available here.
Before the "O Brother" clamor has died down (and who says it has to?), the Coen brothers return to their noir roots on "The Man Who Wasn't There." Career score collaborator Carter Burwell incorporates Beethoven's biggest "hits" ("Pathétique," "Moonlight," "Appassionata" sonatas) with his own compositions, plotting a somber path for the movie to follow.

VIVE LA FRANCE

"Amelie: Original Soundtrack Recording [SOUNDTRACK]" Yann Tiersen Our price: $14.99 | You save: $3.98
...available here.

The delightful soundtrack to "Amélie," the romantic French comedy about a young woman who decides to help those around her find love, draws its inspiration from the streets of France, yet its melodies, squeezed gently through accordion, avoid cliché. Minimalism, synthesized sound, and classical strings enliven and modernize the score.

DOGG BONES

West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg and guests flow through the "Bones" soundtrack while he also stars as an avenging ghost (or is he?) in the movie. 'N SYNC ON THE BIG SCREEN

REISSUED SOUNDTRACKS BY THE WHO

CLASSIC CULT FAVORITE

"The Slipper and the Rose (1976 Film Soundtrack) [SOUNDTRACK]" Richard M. Sherman
...available here.
Brothers Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman composed some of Disney's most giddy mid-century soundtracks, such as "The Jungle Book," "Mary Poppins," and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." While "The Slipper and the Rose"--a live-action adaptation of "Cinderella"--is not as well known as some of these other works, it has as much exuberance and crafty imagination as the others, and its recent rerelease will certainly delight those with fond memories of the film.

RECENTLY RELEASED PHILIP GLASS SOUNDTRACK

"The Music of Candyman" Philip Glass
...available here.
The early-'90s horror/thriller film "Candyman" was wiped from most filmgoers' memories as soon as the movie's theater run ended, as was, unfortunately, the score by acclaimed modern composer Philip Glass. But "The Music of Candyman" has recently become available, and you can hear it remastered in all of its sprawling, gothic glory.

SOUNDTRACK ESSENTIALS

"The Mission: Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture [SOUNDTRACK]" Ennio Morricone
...available here.
The mind-bogglingly prolific and versatile score composer's talents extend well beyond the spaghetti Westerns with which is he most instantly associated. His Academy Award®-winning work on Martin Scorsese's "The Mission" captures the movie's culture clashes by combining Native American and classical European music, and is among his very best.

FEATURED BARGAIN OF THE WEEK

"One From The Heart (1982 Film) [SOUNDTRACK]" Tom Waits
...available here.

The Francis Ford Coppola film "One from the Heart" failed to live up to expectations, but this lead balloon of a flick does nothing to weigh down the rich and smoky quality of Tom Waits's compositions on its soundtrack, and country singer Crystal Gayle does an outstanding job of keeping the torch-song flame ablaze.
