CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Hamlet may have wrestled with "To Be or Not to Be," but he never had to worry about how to tell his story in song. It's a tall order, and it will be interesting to see how Morcheeba fits in this modern adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale of indecision. The 10 tracks collected here do not fall together in any linear sense. Instead, they create sudden shifts in mood that make for the feeling of a particularly inspired--and hip--mixed tape. Primal Scream begin things with their 1991 cosmopolitan and modernly psychedelic adaptation of legendary Texas acid rocker Roky Erickson's "Slip Inside this House." Morcheeba also takes the psychedelic tack with the paranoiac and ominous "Big Calm," which sounds like what happens when you mix hip-hop with Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. Newcomer Josh Rouse serves up his impressive piano-driven musings, while Nick Cave, in classic 1982 form with his original band, the Birthday Party, provides the climactic title track. --Rob O'Connor Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThis is the soundtrack to get 12/07/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is music for the person who loves music. If you have an appreciation of Shakespeare, and creative and well-made modern reproductions, then you will completely enjoy this soundtrack and how well it not only complements the film, but carries itself as an independent piece of art. This is completely modern -- not classical -- and certainly not pop. You will want to see the film if you have not done so already. The moods will swing you if you let them and you will get lost in this music. I can listen to it over and it will not get old. I rented this DVD and then I bought it and then I bought the music. It is the single-best soundtrack I have ever heard." Hamlet (soundtrack) takes another bow raven | Wisconsin USA | 07/15/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I havent had a chance to see the film yet, but if its anything like its soundtrack, I will own it, and probably will have to replace it within a month, as it shall be so used and worn. From the moment I sampled it, it had a deep, residual tone, very unlike most soundtracks ( you tend to find more depth in scores) The sound is fresh, inviting, and non-repetative. More so, the music is new, and non-top 40. I am very impressed with the music on this soundtrack, and I feel anyone with a keen Ear for an excellent musical experience, should pick this up. And use Amazon, cause gosh darnit, they rock." Hypnotic rythms raven | 07/16/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This collection of hypnotic rythms and passionate beats allows a hip and modern mood to float about the room. The second track, "Big Calm" is my favorite because it's soulful, eerie, and sexy. Other great songs include the jazzy, smooth sound of track # 5, "Sublime" and the hypnotic, mellow sound of track #7. The overall tone of this album is mellow,ecclectic, and moody. I would recommend playing it in the car while driving at night under the stars just to get away..."
