Quentin Tarantino has accompanied each of his movies with great soundtracks. Mixing music from the 60's and 70's with music of today. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is his best yet.
Most the hype on this soundtrack revolves around track one. Nancy Sinatra doing her version of Sonny Bono's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". What makes this interesting is the "surf" guitar that accompanies her. The channel seperation is extreme with Nancy far to the right and the guitar far to the left, somehow it works.
The track that really got my attention, however, is Santa Esmeralda doing "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood/Esmeralda Suite". This version has a heavy bass line that requires nailing everything down in your room before playing. What is really interesting is how it is down with a Spainish flavor, both in guitars and snapping cassites (sp?), you know those little wooden blocks that go on the fingers of a Flamenco dancer.
Unlike most soundtracks, there isn't a bad song on the entire CD. Like most soundtracks, it is best listened to loud.
