| | Lola Rennt Soundtrack CD
The LOLA RENNT soundtrack features 15 cuts from the 1998 film, which was released in the U.S. as RUN, LOLA, RUN.
Saving the German cinema seems like a campaign to save the bollweevil, but with "Lola Rennt", Tom Tykwer did the job. A simple but powerful story filmed in a wildly experimental style, mixing fast-moving action with philosophical questions about fate and coincidence, making for a highly exciting ride - this very "un-German" movie was a critical and commercial success with international appeal. "Lola Rennt" was so much Tom Tykwer's own vision that he did not only write the screenplay and direct the movie, but he also (together with Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil) created a powerful soundtrack which blended perfectly with the images on the screen. Basically, the "Lola Rennt" soundtrack consists of high-paced techno music; the pounding score effectively underscored the desperate running of Lola, attempting to save her boyfriend Manni. Without seeing the movie, the music at first seems to be rather bland, a bit generic and not as strong as in the film - but this is a wrong, hasty assessment. After a couple of listens (seeing the movie more than once helps, too) the atmosphere of the film starts to shine through the soundtrack, the memorable visuals of the movie are slowly evoked again until both the music and the movie are logically linked.
Starting with a defining sample from the movie ("Lola, if I died, what would you do?" - "I wouldn't let you die."), the score delves into relentless rhythms which barely allow themselves to pause for a second - analogous to Lola; the breathless pace is only slowed down in the track "Casino," which creates more of a suspenseful mood, and in "Somebody Has To Pay" by guest vocalist Susie van der Meer, which is a bit creepier. Franka Potente, who plays Lola, also contributes some vocals ("I wish I was a person with unlimited breath"), as does Thomas D on the album's single "Wish," proving that he's capable of writing some highly intelligent and evocative lyrics. As a bonus, the album contains a couple of remixes which re-work the original tracks in a more twisted way; the most memorable out of these is Sun Electric's breakbeat take on the "Introduction," Operation Phoenix' industrial "Running Two" version, and Tommi Eckart's more subdued, groovy "Casino" remix.
All in all, even though the soundtrack might seem to be disappointing at first listen, it perfectly captures the spirit and essence of the movie and also stands as an interesting (mainstream) techno album on its own. ~ Christian Genzel

$11.39 Chris Jasper returned to his R&B/soul/funk roots on Deep Inside after making his gospel music debut on Praise the Eternal. The singer/songwriter/keyboardist again performed all of the music and most of the vocals on this pleasant CD that stands as the best of his solo efforts. Highlights include the buoyant ballad "Deep Inside," the gentle "Cling to Me," the floating, fidelity-filled "There for You," "Forever," the thumpin' Motown-flavored "Nobody but My Baby," and a respectful remake of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On." Some of the grooves are similar to "Between the Sheets," a classic slow jam Jasper co-wrote and performed as a member of the Isley Brothers, but without its lyrical steamy sexual overtones. ~ Ed Hogan
As an integral member of the Isley Brothers and Isley/Jasper/Isley, and as a successful solo artist, Chris Jasper has been at the forefront of progressive R&B music since the early 1970's. His professional career began in 1973, when the original Isley Brothers vocal trio expanded to include younger brothers, Ernie and Marvin, and brother-in-law, Chris, to create the musical component of the newly-created, self-contained group, the "Isley Brothers".The Isley Brothers made their vinyl ...
