Editorial Reviews :
Monsoon Wedding is Mychael Danna's second collaboration with film director Mira Nair, (Kama Sutra was the first), and he has again compiled a winning soundtrack. Danna explores a wide range of emotions, from solemn to celebratory, through different generations of Indian culture. The contemplative 'Good Indian Girls' and 'Hold Me, I'm Falling' feature Danna's trademark piano ambience over traditional Indian instrumentation, and the vivacious 'Baraat' sounds like a Punjabi variation on Dixieland, while 'Delhi.com' ventures into dreamy ethno-techno territory. Sukhwinder Singh's 'Today My Heart Desires' serves up lively bhangra rock, and Laxmikant Pyarelal's 'Today the Weather Plays Tricks on Me' (performed by Mohammed Rafi) swoons with strings and male vocals. In all, the soundtrack's pleasing variety of Eastern music mirrors the film's old and new worlds living within a singular culture.
Buyer Reviews :
I bought this soundtrack after seeing the movie. The movie was a joy to watch and part of the joy was the music. I've never listened to Indian music before, and don't know what I would think of this outside of the context of the movie. It reminds me of new age music, but with more ethnic color. At least one song also sounds a little Latin American. So it's a great mix of types, I'm already familiar with and like, but different because it's Indian. Some songs are very danceable tunes that sound quite techno! Someone who likes upbeat foreign music and pop would enjoy this. I love it for the unique sound and, upbeatness. It's something to put the convertible top down for! I wish the CD package had more information about the songs and which scenes in the movie they're from (which is primarily why I only gave it 4 stars and not 5). I'll have to see the movie again.
