Детали релиза : VA - Snatch / Большой Куш (2001) [FLAC (tracks + .cue)]

To start, You really should see the movie before listening to the soundtrack, for, while not required, it will help you understand why pieces like "F**king in the Bushes" are on the same album with "Hava Nagila".

Now that the minor disclaimer is out of the way... this is one of the strangest and greatest collections of music of all time. Ritchie's selections range from classic Broadway ("Hernando's Hideaway") to reggae ("Dreadlock Holiday") to Irish folk ("Golden Brown") to hard rock ("F**king in the Bushes") to DJ techno remixes ("Angel", "Sensual Woman"). It's a collection to make the head spin, but not only does it all fit one one album, it does it wonderfully, combined with strings of dialogue from the movie ("Nemesis" and "Declaration" being my personal favorites). Without question the best piece on the album is "Golden Brown", a slightly off-kilter drinking song that is more than capable of standing on its own. Along with it is Oasis's hard-rocking "F**king in the Bushes", one of the few good performances by the pathetic "We hate the Beatles so much we want to be like them" band. "Cross The Tracks" seems to blend New Orleans style with modern music's beat, making it a definate keeper, while "Don't You Just Know It" is a 50's beach party, and, following the incredibly intense "F**king in the Bushes", seems to break the sound in just the same way "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" blasts into "Here Comes The Sun" (That's on The Beatles' Abbey Road, for all you nonbelievers). This could go on and on through almost every song, but there just isn't enough room. It's an album for all ages - I'm very much a classic rocker and found even the modern techno entertaining, although Ritchie does plug his wife ("Lucky Star"? Please, God, no!), marring the album, but, hey, that's what the 'skip' button is for.

Once again, this is a motley collection of music that somehow manages to fit together into a coherant and funny soundtrack to a coherant and funny movie. A must-have for fans of just about any music.
