Absolutely beautiful score. Clint Mansell had created a memorable score for "Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream." He follows up for Aronofsky's next film with this masterpiece score: "The Fountain." Aside from the film being fantastic, here's what this score can do for you: Put it on during your normal anger filled commute through traffic while on your way home one night. ...Goodbye road-rage! Seriously. Try it. It works.
What's great about it: Some of the most relaxing musice ever!
What's not so great: Repetative themes used throughout the soundtrack.
Some people have made it through the last 14 years without ever knowing the name "Cee-Lo." Just like "Hootie" from Hootie and the Blowfish, Cee-Lo probably is known to the casual listner as "Gnarles Barkley." But for those in the know, Cee-Lo has been singing since 1994 with the Goodie Mob and also Outkast. Never getting the commercial success he deserved after 2 solo albums, he hooked up with DJ Danger Mouse and produced "St. Elsewhere." From that Platinum album, everyone in the world knows the song "Crazy." Now, with the follow up album "The Odd Couple," Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse have created an album as interesting to listen to as "St. Elsewhere," but have been able to pump out more songs that stick in your head with out being over produced for radio listeners. On "The Odd Couple," Cee-Lo reminds those listeners that have been here since 1994 that he remains as one of the mose creative minds in music, and for those who know him as Gnarles Barkley, he just continues on with chart topping hits! This album is a must buy for anyone who likes singing along and dancing even if the radio is off. In the silence of everyday life, these songs will be echoing in your head! (I eagerly await the Goodie Mob reunion album for more Cee-Lo!)
What's great about it: Cee-Lo is the best singer in all of music!
What's not so great: The songs will echo through your head all day, every day!
