There were all those rain-slicked tracking shots in Miami Vice, for example, accompanied by Phil Collins and Dire Straits. For 1995's Heat it was Moby, Lisa Gerrard, and Kronos Quartet, all contributing pieces that heightened the film's dense, psychological air. And for Mann's return to the crime caper genre in 2004's Collateral, it's a stellar mixed bag of gripping, tense instrumentals and evocative, sonically varied artist contributions. Producer Tom Rothrock gets things rolling in a Mann-ish direction with "Briefcase" -- the track throbs like a power cable buried under a city street. Score excerpts from James Newton Howard and City of God composer Antonio Pinto are equally powerful, offering a mix of knives glinting in shadows (Pinto's "Car Crash") and serviceable chase scene dynamics (the Howard piece "Vincent Hops Train"). Latin-flavored selections by Calexico and Green Car Motel hint at the film's traverse through L.A.'s ethnic patchwork, there's a lovely excerpt from Miles Davis' Bitches Brew classic "Spanish Key," and the Roots with Cody ChesnuTT offer some streetwise, vibey soul with "The Seed (2.0)." The only misstep here is a noneventful remix of Oakenfold's "Ready Steady Go." Its substance-less big beat thump feels like 21st century soundtrack filler; in fact, it fits better with Oakenfold's work on Swordfish. Sequence out "Ready Steady," and Collateral is comparable to Mann's greatest meetings of music and film. ~ Johnny Loftus |

5 of 5 slammin soundtrack Monday, August 30, 2004
erly_star from Los Angeles
This album is jammed with scores that are solid, packed with heart-thumping drum beats!
From James Newton Howard’s “Max Steals Briefcase”, Miles Davis’s “Spanish Key” , and my most favorite, Tom Rothrock’s “Rollin Crumblin’”, these tracks collectively amplify the progressive activities in the movie. Absolutely incomparable to other movie scores that cradle you to sleep!
The movie mainly shows Los Angeles at night and the deep bass on the track “Air” projects deep hours of darkness. Calexico’s “Guero Canelo” may have been the most perfect way to define the movie’s setting—Los Angeles. This track offers a smooth Spanish rhythm, with a rapid P.A.-like-recitation of vague English words, combined with an intermittent chant of Spanish words w/c altogether perfectly project propels the Spanish culture in the city of Los Angeles.
To add to this, the album contains assortment of known artists such as Audioslave, The Roots, Paul Oakenfold, Miles Davis, and others.
Definitley worth checkin out this slammin soundtrack!

5 of 5 Collateral Soundtrack Wednesday, August 25, 2004
A Listener from Los Angeles, CA
I liked the movie, so I went out and bought the soundtrack right afterward. The soundtrack has a good mix of songs, with some rock, some hiphop, and a wide variety of jazz. Also, unlike many other soundtracks for summer blockbusters, the Collateral soundtrack included four scores from James Newton Howard (one of my absolute favorite score composers). As I don’t typically follow jazz, I didn’t hear of Klazz Brothers, who does an absolutely fantastic job here, until now. Audioslave makes an appearance, as well as Calexico (also a great band). Great soundtrack, couldn’t be happier with the purchase! Was this review helpful?
