Album Description:
"Everything Is Illuminated" is the directorial debut of actor Liev Schrieber and an adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's best-selling novel.A blend of high comedy and great tragedy, the film tells the story of a young American man, played by Elijah Wood (The Lord of The Rings trilogy), who journeys to the Ukraine to find the woman whom he believes saved his grandfather from the Nazis all those years ago.
The soundtrack features two new songs from high energy New York City based gypsy punks Gogol Bordello, including one track not on their current cd. (Note: Gogol Bordello's lead singer plays a role in "Everything Is Illuminated").Also included are gypsy folk songs from Russia and the Ukraine by Leningrad, Arkadie Severmie, Csokolom and Tin Hat Trio.And finally,Paul Cantelon's ethnic score ties together this nicelycohesive soundtrack.

Average Rating:
Rating: 
- Wonderful
At least 4 songs are just phenomenal on this CD.Hautingly beautiful songs that transport you to scenes from the movie, or allow you to reflect upon scenes from your own life.I've played it over and over on the Ipod, and often come back to it;quite rare for me.Some of the other songs I could hardly listen to even once, but this seems to be par for the course when you buy a CD.
Rating: - Awesome mix of music!
If you liked the movie, you'll love the soundtrack! This soundtrack also turned me on to the bands Gogol Bordello and Leningrad.
Rating: - Good soundtrack!
I really enjoyed the music from the film and am very happy with this soundtrack.It includes the orinal scores written for this film along with the various artists that have contributed to the music on the film.This is a "premium Soundtrack!".- RichChicago, IL
Rating: - Tremendously demented little soundtrack
Like the very quirky movie that inspired it, this soundtrack captures a winky, demented side of eastern European music, and it's utterly entrancing.It has a very human personality, and that makes it delightful.
Rating: - Mood evoking music
The music on this CD is very unusual. It's beautiful and moody. There's an Eastern European sound to it, and some of it sounds like folk music of the area, while some of it sounds more like mild punk rock. There's one rap-like song, called "The Con Artists" that contains some mildly offensive comments. (Moms, preview that song before letting the little ones hear it.) This is one of my favorite CDs.
