Album Review
Like the soundtracks to all Jim Jarmusch films, "Broken Flowers" is another eclectic affair, gathering together garage-rock, Ethiopian jazz, classic soul and classical music. Even such disparate-sounding tracks as the Greenhornes & Holly Golightly's "There is an End," Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" and Dengue Fever's "Ethanopium" have a warmth and elegance that unite them, while Sleep's logy but ferocious "Dopesmoker" and the Oxford Camerata's elegiac performance of Faure's "Requiem, Op. 48 (Pie Jesu)" are polar opposites (even though the soundtrack's tracklisting makes them next door neighbors). However, it's Mulatu Astatke's contributions to "Broken Flowers" that end up defining the soundtrack: "Yegelle Tezeta," "Yekermo Sew" and "Gubelye" are smoky, mysterious and more than a little playful. As personal as a handmade mix (the role the music actually plays in the film), "Broken Flowers" is an unpredictable delight. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
