A techno soundtrack that many should hear

"I still have yet to see the movie, but have heard the music now, and I can say I am pleased. Disc 1 starts off well with the first 2 tracks, then it thins out with stuff from Fatboy Slim and Elton John, which made the first half of disc one bad. Then the title song "One Perfect Day" comes in and lights everything up again as a magical rock song. QOTSA song "No one knows" I don't care for at all, but the U.N.K.L.E remix made the song sound so dark and great. Underworld's Two Months Off was shortened but that's alright, I don't mind, and then an interesting track from a group called Futureshock comes with the track "Late at night" which was great. The version of Ordinary World on this was great as well, after that the rest of disc one isn't too listenable.
Disc 2 moved quite well and mixed track into track unexpectedly in a nice way. Once we came to Orbital's last epic "One Perfect Sunrise" things started closing down, I wish this version was a bit longer for an edit, but it was good none the less. Paul Van Dyk's "epic" dance mix of the title track had me with high expectations...the beat started out great, but then the vocals kicked in and it started to suck. The vocals for this were not mixed in well at all, and I was quite dissapointed with PVD on this, and the way the song ended didn't sound like it was in the trailer, it just did a couple of symbol smashes and a dust out...that's not what I was looking for. Then the cd ended with the scores from David Hobson which I didn't care for...the cd loses a star for a poor outing in disc one and a bad remix by PVD, that got me down, but none the less if you are a major listener of music and love electronic, dance and wanna hear groups from the other side of the globe by all means go for it, but I warn you, it is expensive so be sure about your purchase."
