| Album notes | |
| Producers include: Beck, The Dust Brothers, Peter Collins, Rick Smith, Wally Gagel. Personnel: Beck (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboards, drums); Steve Grippa Hopwood (guitar); Sister Bliss (keyboards); Rollo (programming); Dido, Pauline Taylor (background vocals). Audio Mixers: Johnny Dollar ; John Holbrook; Liam Howlett; Neil McLellan. From the same team of filmmakers who brought the world TRAINSPOTTING, A LIFE LESS ORDINARY also boasts a cutting edge soundtrack, filled with titles steeped in a profound understanding of the culture around which the film revolves. In place of UK-based, decadent raves, this offbeat romantic comedy favors tracks reflecting its sprawling, more romantic, American setting and theme. Quirky and playful, it opens with none other than Beck, whose "Deadweight" is a masterful mix of technology and schmaltz. Keeping time to the film's fast-paced action, modern acts such as Luscious Jackson ("Love Is Here") and Prodigy ("Full Throttle") contribute high-energy rockers, while Elvis, Bobby Darin, and the retro-sounding Squirrel Nut Zippers provide a cultural backdrop. The film's more tender side is expressed by the soundtrack's predominantly mid-tempo showing: Ash and Underworld slow down without losing their heaviness, while breezy tracks by R.E.M. and Folk Implosion round out this hip, exciting tale of romance, kidnapping, and heavenly intercession. | |
| Editorial reviews | |
| 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...exclusive music from Beck, Luscious Jackson and Sneaker Pimps, and a host of other odd, cool, camp tracks....a disc fit for any funk-loving, forward-thinking lounge lizard. Rolling Stone (11/27/1997) ...a collection every bit as dark, charming, and entertaining as [the] film....eclectic and bewitching. Melody Maker (10/25/1997) | |
