Notes
Baz Luhrmann's garish, flamboyant adaptation of Romeo + Juliet was hyper-kinetic and colorful, boasting a heavy inspiration from the visual style of MTV, so it's only appropriate that the soundtrack was tailored for the alternative nation that MTV fostered. Combining modern rock acts like Garbage, Radiohead, the Cardigans and the Butthole Surfers with contemporary soul like Des'ree and adult alternative like Gavin Friday, the album is slick, polished, catchy - and surprisingly strong. Though the soul and pop is good, the alternative rock acts on the soundtrack fare the best, with Garbage and Radiohead both contributing excellent B-sides ("Number One Crush" and "Talk Show Host," respectively), with the Cardigans' sleek, sexy lounge-disco number "Love Fool" stealing the show. Baz, das Luhrmann's , flamboyant Anpassung von garish ist, Romeo + Juliet war hyper-kinetisch und bunt und rühmte sich eine schwere Inspiration von der Sichtart von MTV, also ist es nur angebracht, daß der Soundtrack für die alternative Nation hergestellt wurde, die MTV förderte. Modernen Felsen kombinierend, fungiert wie Garbage, Radiohead, Cardigans und Butthole Surfers mit zeitgenössischer Seele wie Des'ree und Erwachsenalternative, wie Gavin Friday, das Album glatt ist, poliert, Verriegelung - und überraschend stark. Obwohl die Seele und der Knall gut ist, fungiert der alternative Felsen auf dem Soundtrackfahrpreis das beste, mit Garbage und Radiohead beides das Beitragen ausgezeichnet B-sides ("Number One Crush" and "Talk Show Host, " respectively) , wenn die Cardigans' glatte, reizvolle Aufenthaltsraum-discozahl "Love Fool" das Erscheinen stiehlt.
