The Beach
Like the soundtracks for Danny Boyle's other films, the music collected for his
adaptation of Alex Garland's novel The Beach is a hip mix
of British and American rock and electronica. Asian Dub Foundation's
"Return of Django," Moby's "Porcelain,"
Leftfield's "Snake Blood," and the Hardfloor remix
of Mory Kante's "Yeke Yeke" are among the album's
electronic highlights, while Blur's "On Your Own (Crouch
End Broadway Mix)" and New Order's "Brutal"
add a touch of British pop to the set. "Business as Usual"
is a collaboration between Barry Adamson (whose albums seem
more filmic than most scores) and the film's star, Leonardo
DiCaprio; composer Angelo Badalamenti and Orbital collaborate
on "Orbital Mix."
All Saints and Sugar Ray contribute
the previously unreleased tracks "Pure Shores" and
"Spinning Away" respectively, making The Beach an
entertaining, if somewhat scattered, collection of music featured
in the film.
