Album Notes
In keeping with their tradition of exceptionally well-selected soundtracks, director/writer Wes Anderson and music supervisor Randall Poster offer up a typically smart and eclectic collection to accompany Anderson's 2007 film, THE DARJEELING LIMITED. Issued by ABKCO Records, the compilation keenly reflects the movie's plot, which revolves around three estranged American brothers trying to reconnect on a train trip through India. While the album further reinforces Anderson and Poster's knack for British Invasion tunes (see the Rolling Stones' brooding "Play with Fire" and the Kinks' wistful "This Time Tomorrow"), it also makes heavy use of elegant traditional music from the films of revered Indian director Satyajit Ray, resulting in a fascinating set that spans decades and cultures.
