Amazon.co.uk Review
The idea of remaking the Rat Pack's infamous shaggy-dog story cum Vegas heist thriller may have seemed ludicrous without a Rat Pack. But that didn't deter ever-inventive director Steven Soderbergh, who's again wisely teamed up with not only Out of Sight star George Clooney but also that underrated project's Irish-born club mixer turned scorer David Holmes. The resulting soundtrack is a spunky, cross-cultural joyride that careens from Perry Como's "Papa Loves Mambo" to the loopy hip-hop of Handsome Boy Modeling School's "The Projects", while paying some gratifying visits to Percy Faith, Arthur Lyman, Quincy Jones, the terminally cool Claude Debussy and, of course, King Elvis along the way. Holmes' own concoctions are as smartly retro-hip and seamless, slyly intertwining cool jazz-funk and smoky cine-Muzak with some dance-floor grooves that keep the musical tension boiling. The sharp dialogue snippets that bubble throughout seem a quirky throwback to soundtracks gone by, a sometimes oversized olive in Holmes' inviting musical cocktail. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

Worst Soundtrack Album - Ever
Having recently watched the film - I thought "Mmm. I bet that'll be a cool soundtrack to listen to." Err. No. Unfortunately we have Mr Clooney & Co yapping over the intros and run outs of the tracks.

I bought this because I wanted to hear the music - not a bunch of actors talking over it.

Brilliant!
A great album with the music from the film. Holmes has written the music with the style that would not be out of place in Las Vegas. His attention to jazzy beats that almost reflect the original film. A great buy.

Ocean's Eleven Sountrack
Well, what can I say about this item?!
Besides the fact that it isn't half as good as I thought.
The only song in it that i like is: 69 police by David holmes,
which is the reason that made me purchase this on the first place.
This CD has the movie lines just before and after the songs, which becomes very annoying when you are trying to sit back and enjoy the music.
Besides, only a couple of songs are well known.
The rest is well bellow average.
So Unless you know the song i mensioned, or the other one (a little less conversation by elvis presley). I would advise you to stay away from this album soundtrack.
