From Amazon.co.uk
This taut thriller bringing Michael Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones together in director Steven Soderbergh's look at the unwinnable war on drugs features a subliminal, seductively ambient soundtrack that pulses with a sense of doom. Composer Cliff Martinez, who worked for a spell with Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, enlists Chili Peppers' bassist Flea and jazz keyboard legend Herbie Hancock for two tracks, then fills out the rest with lush symphonic scores. Additionally, tracks from Fatboy Slim, Morcheeba and ambient pioneer Brian Eno shake things up a bit. One song ("The Police Won't Find Your Car") has been omitted from the film, but is included here as a bonus. --Rob O'Connor

Most helpful customer reviews   In the spirit of Michael Mann's visuals..., Dec 8 2003 By  Manny Hernandez "DiabetesHandsFoundation.org" (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews    Perhaps the obvious influence that Michael Mann has over Traffic's director and cinematographer Stever Sorderbergh is not limited to the visuals, but also to the music chosen to accompany his films. It is not surprising therefore, how the soundtrack to the movie 'Traffic' can sound so much like the soundtracks of Mann's 'The Insider' and 'Heat'. Ex-Red Hot Chili Pepper, Cliff Martinez, put together some incredibly soothing and transporting keyboards lines (such as in 'I can't do this'), sounding at times a lot like master Brian Eno, who happens to play the last track from the album, and joining the ranks of other young contemporary scorers such as Craig Armstrong and Paul Kelly. Other acts like Morcheeba and Fat Boy Slim round up a very eclectic, yet overall relaxing soundtrack, which deserves five stars without any doubt. Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   One of the two best soundtracks I've ever heard, Sep 14 2003 By  "jason2238" (petaluma, ca United States) - See all my reviews One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. The movie was fantastic, no question about that. But the soundtrack really made the movie. Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   Depth and profundity, May 7 2003 By  Nicholas A. Zientarski (Silver Spring MD USA) - See all my reviews    I was highly impressed with the movie itself and then realized that the music is such a large part of the movie. The music forces you into a thoughful state and I enjoy listening to the CD when I have reading or paperwork to do. It's all very meditative and profound and draws the listener into something deep. The same is true with Solaris, also by Clif Martinez. I recommend this CD for anyone who loved the movie, anyone who wants to relax, or anyone who wants to think deeply. A fine ambient work!
