Music From The O.C. Mix 5 / O.S.T.

Description

The OC Soundtrack (Mix 5)Amazon.com If this CD were to be put in a time capsule to be opened in a hundred years, it would give musicologists of the future a pretty fair idea of commercial-minded pop circa 2005. Rarely has a TV show so captured a certain musical zeitgeist as well as The OC has, to the point that the series has become one of the best ways for smallish bands to break through. Collecting songs that have appeared in seasons 2 and 3, this CD is remarkably consistent in its aesthetics: Obviously in 2005 cool kids have been listening to a lot of very danceable rock and pop (Kasabian's "Reason Is Treason," LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House," Gorillaz's "Kids With Guns," Kaiser Chiefs' "Na Na Na Na Naah") tempered by a smiden of articulate, sensitive songwriting (Shout-Out Louds' "Wish I Was Dead Pt. 2," Stars' "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"). The tracks here aren't innovative, but they are remarkably easy to like--even love. The real gems are actually tucked in at the end of the album: Phantom Planet's wistful reworking of the show's theme song, "California 2005," and Imogen Heap's dreamy, Vocoderized Kate Bush-like "Hide and Seek." --Elisabeth Vincentelli Product Description For the first time in its unprecedented and now five-album series, Music from the O.C. will be catapulted by the first on-show performance that is also the track to radio from a Music From the O.C. album. With The Subways' 'Rock & Roll Queen' leading the way, alongside new and recent tracks from such cutting edge artists as the Shout Out Louds, Imogen Heap, LCD Soundsystem and Phantom Planet, Music from the O.C.: Mix 5 is a smart, sharp, indie-alt-modern rock from what is the musically hippest show on TV. Warner. 2005.
