Second to last song is...

. Its track 4 on the film soundtrack, by Dario G featuring Vanessa Quinones called Voices.


Second to last Song???
Please if anyone knows. What song and female artist is singing, playing during the part of the movie when he is back and looking at his email and the picture of all the beach tribe comes up? It does not seem to be on the CD and the print in the movie is so small. Great Movie of all time! Soundtrack is great except for leaving out that song!.


Great compilation, but bad soundtrack
They should have a color of their own. Soundtracks shouldn't be compilation CDs. The color of 'The Beach'? Well, the individual pieces are each a vibrant color, but just like watercolors, you mix them together and all you get is a muddy concoction that is the color of poo. Then again, maybe that was the purpose of the album.

In the meantime, the great songs make the CD worth buying-- just don't listen to them together. Leftfield's Snakeblood starts off the album with an enchanting melody, floating on the surface of a throbbing bass. Unkle's Lonely Soul is like morphine that can really pluck your heartstrings. All Saints' Pure Shores doesn't really go with the overall 'trance-like' atmosphere, but with a melody similar to Madonna's 'Beautiful Stranger' and a hip-swaying beat, not to mention those sugar-coated slurring female vocals, listening to it is like riding a yacht in the Caribbean with the ocean breeze blowing against your face. Orbital finishes off with its typical clean and crisp sound.

If you feel like you need a puff of the cigarette or you just want to get 'fuzzy', then 'The Beach' is perfect for a hazy afternoon reverie. In fact, you can actually get blurry-eyed and happily obscure even without tropical sunshine or burning incense.


I loved it!!
I love this soundtrack is has a lot of new age music!!! It reminds you of the movie and it just makes you feel good about life in general.


Help please?
Does anyone know the name of the song that is played on the start menu on the dvd? Like right before you would select Play????.
