Stealing Beauty
Stealing Beauty Original Soundtrack Permalink
Just like Bernardo Bertolucci's film is beautiful to watch, the soundtrack is a joy to listen to. The songs, drifting from moody trip hop to gritty blues to charming indie pop, are all painted the same atmospheric color. If nothing else, the album should be appreciated for Hooverphonic's leadoff track which samples Isaac Hayes' "Walk on By" from his 1969 Stax album Hot Buttered Soul and is an underrated gem of trip-hop's golden era.
