Chronique amazon.fr
Aussi hétéroclite que le titre l'évoque, la bande originale de L'Auberge sspagnole héberge des locataires dont la cohabitation a de quoi surprendre. C'est cependant le propre de ces albums de musique de film, et celui-ci, avec ses télescopages hardis, ouvre bien des horizons. Drivé par Kouz 1, l'assemblage fonctionne à merveille, à commencer justement par les titres signés et joués par lui. Entre samples et boucles, la latinité sensuelle de chansons comme "Cambia La Vida" ou "El Timbre No Funciona" entraîne les jambes et les hanches vers des chachas du nouveau millénaire. Tout près, c'est la surprenante salsa de Africando All Stars ("Betece") qui répond à l'appel de la rumba, et le blues magique, noir comme l'Afrique, de Ali Farka Touré ("Ai Du"). Au milieu de ces rencontres de genres, Vicente Amigo laisse échapper des notes de douleur et de grâce, avec la voix de José Merce ("Reino de Silia"), Radiohead apporte "No Surprises" comme un présent fragile tandis qu'Arthur Rubinstein caresse les notes de Chopin. Rarement titre d'album (et de film) fut aussi bien porté… --José Ruiz

Most helpful customer reviews   great mix from the movie, Jun 16 2004 By  mitzigg04 "mittzigg" (VA) - See all my reviews If you want to introduce yourself to great music, seen the movie or not, this is the cd for you.

(Report this)   An Eclectic Mix, May 20 2004 By  Mary (United States) - See all my reviews I can't say that I immediately rushed out to buy this album after watching the movie. I don't think the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard, and I have to admit that I was a tad disappointed that there wasn't more French music involved. Although, as the movie was set in Spain, it's understandable. However, once I bought this album, it quickly grew on me, and has since become one of my favorites. It's a great mix of songs for just about any activity; I especially like it for my road trips. I encourage everyone to buy this album, as it's an "auberge espagnole" in its own right.

Pity, it wasn't been played anymore in the cinema. I had to remember how it was, and good moments were when Radiohead's No Surprises was playing in the minute of crisis. Daft Punk had a chance to sound with Aerodinamic when there was the sort of action. The music that was specially made for the film... well, I don't have complaints. You could say it's a bit etnical, and joyful. In a general look it's a good mix of songs, moods, sensations, etc. If you buy it you can use for when you invite people over your house, to have fun, whilst you do the cleaning, or if you're alone/sad/bored. If you're not that sure, I recommend you to watch the movie to know the songs and to be part of itself. Then you'll know what to do. Was this review helpful to you?
