Pulp Fiction - Original Soundtrack

After finishing my review of the film recently it seemed like a logical follow up to do the soundtrack next. For anyone who has seen the film and liked it I would think that the soundtrack is a must. The film has been made in such a way as to make the soundtrack an integral part of the story. The songs chosen have been well thought out and enhance the storyline during the film and allow you to relive a lot of the best parts of the film when listening ...
...in that it also contains various clips and quotes from the film in addition to the songs. I think this reflects the importance of the soundtrack to the film. It is not merely an afterthought released to make more money from the popularity of the film; it is a significant part of the film. The quotes and clips that have been used on the soundtrack relate to the point in the film where the song appears and also include some of the most quotable aspects ...

Review of Pulp Fiction - Original Soundtrack

Tarantino’s got some personal style, clearly recognisable in his movies. This style have a few important ingredients, like good and ‘street-like’ dialogues (something he forgot in his last movie, ‘Kill Bill’, specially the first of the two parts), action, lots of characters, some of them really weird, violence, and a few more things, including, and with big importance, the music. Tarantino choose the music and the song of his movies himself. He gives ...
...and so, its usually come out really good soundtracks, that happen to be as successful as the movies they come from. And a good soundtrack, is what came out from the movie ‘Pulp Fiction’, probably the best soundtrack from any Tarantino’s movie (well, Reservoir Dog’s is also really good). I have the original soundtrack of this movie, and it includes some parts of the movie, I mean, some dialogues, sometimes just a few seconds, and sometimes a little ...

Review of Pulp Fiction - Original Soundtrack

...can be compared to Shakespeare. Pulp Fiction contains hidden plots, themes and issues. It keeps the viewer glued to the film throughout. It isn't one of those films which is only good at the beginning, it is superb throughout. Pulp Fiction is a collection Tarantino's original stories. They were all compiled into one. this is what makes it such an intruiging story. The main character in one part of the film is suddenly playing a supporting role in ...
...it is simply a great film. The soundtrack matches the film. It is truly superb. The Film was nominated for 2 BAFTA Awards, 6 Golden Globe Awards, 7 Oscars and it was the winner of the Golden Palm Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The film was nominated for so many awards, and as I have said that the soundtrack matches the film, then I must back it up. The soundtrack won the best soundtrack at the Brit Awards, so it does matches the film in many ...

Review of Pulp Fiction - Original Soundtrack

The importance of a soundtrack cannot be understated in my opinion. It sets the mood, it almost guides the film and this is certainly not lost on tarantino. He is like the modern day mad professor and his mind must be a complex labyrinth of manic genius. Anyway, I’m chunnering on now so I’ll get to the point… The tracks are as follows:- Miserlou - Dick Dale & His Deltones Jungle Boogie - Kool & The Gang Let's Stay Together - Al Green Bustin' ...
...of A Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield Bullwinkle Part II - The Centurians You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon - Urge Overkill If Love Is A Red Dress - Maria McKee Comanche - The Revels Flowers On The Wall - The Statler Brothers Surf Rider - The Lively Ones Some of the songs have brief excerpts taken from the film to give it some punch. These are:- Pumpkin And Honey Bunny Royale With Cheese Zed's Dead, Baby Jack ...

Review of Pulp Fiction - Original Soundtrack

...to Quentin Tarantino's breakthrough movie Pulp Fiction is arguably one of the best soundtrack albums you'll ever hear. Like Tarantino's other movie soundtracks like Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, it combines a few great songs that were past hits with tracks that most music listeners have never heard before. Unlike those soundtracks, Pulp Fiction is great from beginning to end with the more obscure tracks being arguably better than the more established ...
...hits are very strong. Kool & The Gang's "Jungle Boogie" is one of the best funk jams from the '70s. Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" is '70s soul at its best. Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell", Dusty Springfield's "Son Of A Preacher Man", Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town", and the Statler Brothers' "Flowers On The Wall" with its catchy chorus are also great tracks. This a great soundtrack to what was arguably one of the best movies of the '90s. ...

Review of Pulp Fiction - Original Soundtrack

Well after watching that film the soundtrack had to be mine. Any album has got to be great if it includes the infamous Pumpkin and honeybunny! What a rocking track. Seriously I didn't think it could get much better than that until I heard the true huskiness of Dusty Springfield blarin' it back at me with one of the greatest songs ever written - Son of A preacher man! This album is unlike other soundtracks, the songs have passion, and flare and yet ...
...- that I am also totally in love with because it reminds me of moi! And who could forget the song from the Jack Rabbit Slim's Twist Contest It goes to show you never can tell? Where John Travolta flashes his feet and shows what he's really made of. So come on daddio don't be a square - get out and buy it so you can listen to it over and over. ...

Review of Pulp Fiction - Original Soundtrack

Well what can you say about this! It is absolutely fabulous. It encapsulates the films spirit and humour flawlessly. It doesn't have any gaps or holes with every song from the film featuring, interspersed with great monologue from the film itself, all of which are obviously excellently hand picked by Tarantino himself! A great blend of music, alot of which you may not of heard of, but will definitely like. It also includes some classic names such ...

Review of Pulp Fiction - Original Soundtrack

After watching the film, I knew I had to get hold of that amazing Spanish-style guitar soundtrack - some of it sounding more like it belonged on a Spaghetti Western than on this! The album is great, if you're a fan of the film's music. It offers the guitar tracks as featured in the film, which as far as I'm concerned, are powerful and punchy. There are only a few real 'songs' on the album; for the most part, the tracks are all guitar-only. If this ...
