...all film soundtracks will be like this. OK, so even though John Williams is fabulous, and Danny Elfman is quirky and unique and always provides good work, sometimes it's nice to have something a little different for your soundtrack. Most of the time it's going to be an Independent film or one with an autuer director. The Virgin Suicides fits the bill, and who else but Air to provide the sounds for this charming story set in the 70's.

The music on offer here is delightfully retro and very warm sounding, it has instant appeal and is bound to put a wide smile on your face.

Yes, it is only short, and it repeats a few musical themes, but it is a soundtrack after all, and the repeated themes help to give the CD an identity of its own.

Even if you've never seen the film this collection of music will work as well as if it were just an artist album, and if you weren't a fan of (or familiar with) Air before, then i'm sure this will will put you in the right direction.

Virgin Suicides, The (Original Soundtrack) - Air - review by shelley1986

Advantages: Captures emotions brilliantly and is easy to listen to.
Disadvantages: May be a little repetitive for some, as the same tune is adapted throughout.
