Jazz guitarist Pat Metheny's soundtrack to A Map of the World, the upcoming film based on Jane Hamilton's book, falls somewhere in between. Certainly no innovation, but surely no tragedy, Metheny's compositions are no doubt appropriate. The main framework of the album is a variation on a theme, punctuated by less topical instrumentations, which include very literal motifs. An apt analogy would be to say that the artist has ceded to the architect. That is to say, Metheny has selflessly concealed his artistic biases to create a non-intrusive score for a film and not a masterpiece...

...craze the Pokemon series, playing cards, merchandise and movie have recently inspired in the States has now been augmented by the newly released Pokemon: The First Movie motion picture soundtrack. Although the album includes songs by popular teen acts like Britney Spears, 'NSync, B*Witched and Christina Aguilera, the tracks are far from the best the artists have released. In fact, the majority of the songs on the soundtrack are little more than bland, unoriginal works whose peppy beats are quickly dulled by the simple and repetitious verses they all employ.

Of the two new tracks, "Rev" is a respectable collaboration between Farrell and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, while "Whole Lotta Love" would even be excellent drum 'n' bass if Farrell wasn...

...first single off the album, the Barenaked Ladies' "Get In Line," is still good despite being hyped up endlessly on the show. The soundtrack also includes Tritt and Thorogood's "Move It On Over," which can be heard over country radio stations. In between the tracks, the voices of Hank, Bobby and other characters from "King of the Hill" provide narrative relief from the music, connecting the various rock and country groups. All in all, a fun album to listen to; if I had the choice, I would prefer to have the soundtrack infiltrate American homes rather than...
