Amazon.com If one needs a compelling introduction to the emotional gravitas that too often gets overlooked in fashion-obsessed indie and modern rock circles, this largely introspective song-score compilation may be just the ticket. Like its spiritual '04 twin, Garden State, it's a collection that eschews attitude for mature reflection via expected contributors like The Shins, Stereophonics and Mazzy Star, an oblique, obligatory cover or two (Postal Service's seductive reworking of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds"; Jackson Browne's "These Days" in an alt.pretty take by Mates of State) yet achieves other compelling moments from newcomers (the straightforward torchiness of Jaime Wyatt's "Light Switch") and veterans (Johnette Napolitano and Danny Lohner's stark, gritty acoustic reworking of Coldplay's "Scientist") alike. Other standouts range from the hip, hypno-spacey murk of "We Have a Map of the Piano" by Mum to the crafty, Beatle-esque pop of Lifehouse's "Everybody is Someone." --Jerry McCulley Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Elizabeth P. (elizabethplaid) from COLUMBIA FLS, ME Reviewed on 8/2/2010... The "Wicker Park" soundtrack is a gorgeous album. Soft and simple but still has a bit of edge to its flavor. It somewhat reminds me of marzipan (a type of candy), but the sound’s texture resembles the whipped filling of a 3 Musketeers candy bar rather than the large granule texture of the marzipan. Considering I had only heard two of the songs before getting the album, this turned out much better than I had expected. It’s a good blend of familiar voices (as I’ve heard other songs by some of the artists) with new tunes, keeping a constant dialect of sorts… that late night awake-ness that makes you feel dreamy and quite alone, though the city’s traffic and lights buzz outside the window. I’ve been listening to this at night (as I sleep) since it came in the mail; certainly one of the best albums that I’ve listened to (without subtracting tracks) for sleeping. 0 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
CD ReviewsWicker Park + Garden State = Cool Tunes. wunderlost | silverlake, ca - usa | 08/26/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "cool songs of obsession and loss. like Garden State, the Wicker Park soundtrack captures a feeling, a feeling we all know. this album isn't just the soundtrack to a film, it could be the soundtrack to your _life_. the Postal Service track alone is worth the purchase, but once you hear the _flow_ of how seemless this album is, it'll make infinite repeate on your favorite player. other stand outs are the shins, the stills, death cab for cutie (acoustic), broken social scene (yeah!), and new comers the legends. if you've heard of any of these bands, and want to check out more like them this album is a great introduction to some of the coolest artists happening at the moment. one could argue that this album, in its own way presents a perfect taste of the new "alternative" scene. Garden State and Wicker Park are great companion records. just buy it. you'll love it." Songs, used in the movie but NOT on the soundtrack Alena R. | 03/06/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "i might be mistaken, of course, but i've spotted that the following songs were in the movie, but, for some reason, not on the soundtrack.
So, if anybody is interested: "Sálfraedingur", "Ég Átto Gráa Aesku", "Ég Sleppi Thér Aldrei" by Jóhann Jóhannsson Mum - I Can't Feel My Hand Anymore, It's Alright, Sleep Still The White Stripes - Good to Me Tito Puente - Ran Kan Kan Stereophonics - I Miss You Now Clue to Kalo - This Dies over Distance " |
