CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Director Wayne Wang (The Joy Luck Club, Smoke, and Blue in the Face) creates a steamy portrait of love and sex in the technological age, with The Center of the World, an erotic drama about a young computer wizard (Peter Sarsgaard, Boys Don't Cry) whose immersion in the digital world has left him unaccustomed to normal social interaction. When he persuades a beautiful stripper (Molly Parker, Kissed) to spend three days with him in Las Vegas, their arrangement becomes a journey into the dark secrets of their sexuality. Sensuous and technologically sophisticated, the soundtrack for The Center of the World compiles an eclectic array of artists, including Robbie Robertson, Laika, Joe Henry and Six Degrees world music star Bebel Gilberto. Other featured Six Degrees artists include DJ Cam, Bob Holroyd, Brazilian electronica purveyor DJ Suba, Euphoria, dj Cheb i Sabbah (whose "Kese Kese" is remixed here by Transglobal Underground) and Ekova (their "Temoine" receiving an epic remix from Farmakit). "In Las Vegas, the Sphinx overlooks the Brooklyn Bridge. Venice sits in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. The world is closer than you think. With its variety and hybrids of world music, the music for The Center of the World is closer than you think." --Wayne Wang, director, The Center of the World Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA Seductive Escape from the Commonplace Erik R. Olson | Dublin, CA, United States | 04/23/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Center of the World is sometimes a hard movie to watch. It explicitly puts a price tag on not just sex but an entire weekend with another person. Yet as I watched the movie and thought about answers to the questions it was posing, I was constantly enveloped by its array of sultry music. This soundtrack conveys the dark, smoky, empty intimacy of the movie very well, using mostly downbeat, international unknowns to cast a spell on the listener. There is a bit of a trip hop feel to some tracks, most notably Laika's "Black Cat Bone" and Nickie Love's "Daylight Tripping," while Bob Holroyd's "The Sheer Weight of Memory" and Kingsuk Biswas' "Currents" make me think of Enigma or Dreadzone. Suba's "Tantos Desejos (So Many Desires)" sounds like a Sade song translated into Spanish. Only Joe Henry's "Mean Flower" sounds a little out of place on a disc with such an exotic feel to it, but even this jazzy track fits in its own way. A very steamy CD, just about perfect given the right occasion."
