Diversity par excellence!

Because of "Heat" I've become a big fan of Michael Mann and with correspondingly high expectations I have also watched "Collateral". Although the film has some time and multiple viewing needed to rekindle my full enthusiasm, which does not apply to the once again impressive soundtrack.
It is almost treated every musical genre, focusing even at thematically rather melancholy pieces. They are all able to emphasize there but still a few things:
Extremely smooth and translucent comes the Groove Armada with "Hands Of Time". Good hit is also the case of a film with and about LA simply vital proportion of Spanish music with Calexico and The Green Car Motel.
As with the film I was doing well with the piece of Audioslave, "Shadow on the Sun". For one of the most thoughtful moments in the film a vocal dominant, partly rock-heavy track? I found only very inappropriate, but actually get used to it and now my opinion has also turned neatly.
Right away like the imaginative interpretation of "Air" by the German Klazzbrothers has me feat. Cuban percussion, also in the film in conjunction with the camera pans over the nighttime LA for me one of the most beautiful moments.
With a laughing and a crying eye / ear (yes yes, I know), I finally heard Paul Oakenfolds piece "Ready, steady, go". As in the movie, I was both absolutely thrilled by the Drive of the piece, however, is on the disk to the original album version, while the variant can be heard with Korean vocals in the film which has even better helped in my opinion, to the atmosphere.
Minuses there any real. At most, have some things can certainly be longer, rather than be limited to two minutes but that's really a matter of taste.
Anyone looking for an intelligent, multi-layered soundtrack is likely to be completely satisfied with this disc.
