Everything Is Illuminated

If you liked the movie, you'll love the soundtrack! This soundtrack also turned me on to the bands Gogol Bordello and Leningrad.

I really enjoyed the music from the film and am very happy with this soundtrack. It includes the orinal scores written for this film along with the various artists that have contributed to the music on the film. This is a "premium Soundtrack!". - Rich Chicago, IL

Like the very quirky movie that inspired it, this soundtrack captures a winky, demented side of eastern European music, and it's utterly entrancing. It has a very human personality, and that makes it delightful.

The music on this CD is very unusual. It's beautiful and moody. There's an Eastern European sound to it, and some of it sounds like folk music of the area, while some of it sounds more like mild punk rock. There's one rap-like song, called "The Con Artists" that contains some mildly offensive comments. (Moms, preview that song before letting the little ones hear it.) This is one of my favorite CDs.

I love this CD. After watching the movie, I had to get the music. Every song is great on it. Some are mello, some are peppier. There is a little Slovac punk mixed in. I gave a copy to my dad. My kids love it too. Even my husband, who is not a big music fan enjoys the CD. I'm very happy with it.
