Death Proof
Directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez spent $53 million to pay loving tribute to the vintage hundred-thousand-dollar exploitation fare that inspired Grindhouse's two-movies-for-the-price-of-one thrill ride. Tarantino's half of the exercise (which also includes Robert Rodriguez's self-scored Planet Terror) features another effusive slice of the director's eclectic musical sensibility to underscore its manic tale of stuntman/psycho-killer Kurt Russell and his muscle-car-fueled exploits. Tarantino works from a familiar formula that variously mixes evocative, semi-obscure Italian film cues from Morricone and Dinaggio, contrasting slices of '60s catalog from the great Jack Nitzsche and Brit Invasion also-rans DDDBM&T and some '70s fodder from both ends of the Top 40 via Smith and T. Rex, also stirring in a savory mid-disc run of R&B that stretches from PG&E's upbeat read of "Stagger Lee" through more familiar fare from Joe Tex, Eddie Floyd, and the Coasters. The director also serves up a couple of those deliciously off-kilter obscurities that have come to be his musical trademark as a coda: Eddie Beram's thumping "Riot in Thunder Alley" and April March's infectious ditz-pop take on Serge Gainsbourg's loopy "Chick Habit." --Jerry McCulley more

I think it goes without saying that Quentin Tarantino puts together the best soundtracks for his movies. This one is no exception. A collection of great songs that bring you right back into the movie with a sprinkling of great dialogue....

- Great music from a great flick
This soundtrack is great. The songs were perfect in the film and it's like watching it when listening. I have both the cd and vinyl of this soundtrack and love them both (though I love the vinyl a little bit more). The vinyl has a great...

This pretty much what one expects from Quinten Tarintino sound track. Good song that never get played on the radio because they don't fit some format. Lots of cool gems and great dialog too.

I must admit before purchasing the soundtrack, I tried to hunt down a way to download two or three songs from the C.D., but true to Quentin Tarrantino, you have to take the whole package. (Even though his tenacity hasn't prevented 'Kill...

- good songs, LOW quality
There are some great songs on here, but they all sound terrible! Tons of digital artifacts and distortion. I've listened on several CD players and it always sounds the same: low quality, high distortion. Totally distracting for me......
