DEAD MAN is the soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's film of the same name. It features 13 connected, untitled instrumental tracks performed solo by Neil Young, along with dialogue from the film and a William Blake poem read by Johnny Depp.
All music written by Neil Young. Poem written by William Blake. All dialogue written by Jim Jarmusch.
During the writing and shooting of Jim Jarmusch's DEAD MAN, a surreal spiritual journey through the old West starring Johnny Depp, he listened continually to the music of Neil Young, dreaming of tapping the artist to provide the film's soundtrack. Fate smiled on Jarmusch (and the rest of us) when Young agreed. Performing solo, Young recorded a series of moody, introspective instrumental pieces for the film, centered mostly around his distinctive electric guitar sound, but also utilizing pump organ and piano. The music evokes the hazy, unreal atmosphere of the film, as DEAD MAN's examination of the essential strangeness of nature is a longtime Young theme. Bits of dialogue from the film are interspersed throughout, but are poetic enough to enchance, rather than interrupt, the flow.
Recorded at Mason St. Studios, San Francisco, California. Includes liner notes by Jim Jarmusch and poetry by William Blake.

Neil YoungThe Wire (p.48) - "[A] fine example of how resourceful and inventive a musician Young can be, given ample inspiration and room to manoeuvre. DEAD MAN was entirely improvised in real time..."
Melody Maker (4/6/96, p.37) - "...Listening to it is an odd sensation. Young has created a rumbling, harrowing noise that makes you want to use the phrase 'distant thunder' without it sounding like a cliche....When Depp reads [William Blake's poetry] you feel awed and excited....he is both moved and moving..."
NME (Magazine) (3/2/96, p.49) - 7 (out of 10) - "...Young is crackling like a campfire primed with gelignite. Occasionally, the urge to explode and explore is too great and, pump-organ at the ready, Young tramples all in his path with...a fistful of feedback....Encouraged by Young's...solemn scratchings, Blake's apocalyptic visions set up home in Jarmusch's weirdsville west..."

 The music suits the movie
I first learned about the movie "Dead Man" from this soundtrack. After heraring the melancholic music and thoughtful dialogues a few times, I was really curious about the moive. After seeing it I love both the soundrack and the movie.I fully recommend.

Superb Soundtrack
This is as good as a soundtrack gets. Sure you can have a bunch of pop songs, but, those kinds of soundtracks go out of fashion, and this ain't one of them.
This CD can stand up on its own without you having seen the movie. But what a nice take home to remember the movie by, and yes, the movie is great.
The CD is full of mood and atmosphere. If my copy was a record it would have been worn out years ago.
Highly Recommended.
