Once Upon a Time in Mexico Original Soundtrack

For my own personal collection of Spanish guitar music, this cd is near the top of my list - I did not know who Patricia Vonne was until I heard her sing on this cd; she's awesome! Good quality - fast delivery - thank you Amazon!

Ok - with so many reviews what can I add? Surf guitar meets mariachi, say no more? Much more!! solid throughout - but rodriguez's elfman/surf/mariachi ironically classical (?) soundtrack touch somehow adds so much - w/ the exception of one outta control hornzaganza indulgence...which ends up working just right anyhow. If you saw the movie & liked the music then, don't hesitate to purchase the cd - it may well be one of the best you'll ever own. It is mine, out of a few thousand...

like all the actors especially depp well worth buying

This is perhaps the crown jewel in Robert Rodriguez's "garage studio" productions and while the script of the movie and the acting staff is wonderful, the majority of the soundtrack is where you see how he cut money. Most of the tracks were things he wrote in his garage and the wonderful, rich sound he accomplished that enriched the drama, comedy and romance of "Desperado" is so obviously missing from this movie with the exception of just a few places and while I say that Robert Rodriguez's own themes aren't bad, they simply don't compare with Dire Straits, Los Lobos, Tito & Tarantula and Link Wray so prominently featured in the Desperado soundtrack. But that doesn't mean it still isn't worth owning. The music still causes me to remember key parts of the movie such as Johnny Depp playing "fast draw" with two of Marguez's men with no eyes and using his ears alone. Not a bad trick for someone who was born blind let alone someone who just lost his sight! It's what I cal an above average soundtrack but not one you should stampede to buy like Desperado!

Although I love Robert Rodriguez, relatively few of the tracks on this album are by him. Most tracks are pleasant, but pretty run-of-the-mill Mexican songs or Mariachi numbers. Still, the Rodriguez tracks are excellent, which raises the enjoy-ability quotient of the whole album.

It's a well done CD.If you enjoy the movie you might enjoy this Soundtrack. I still have it in my CD player. I listened to it before I ever watched the movie.

Was actually looking for the soundtrack from El Mariachi. My fault. I like this CD though.

Love this soundtrack, get it!

The music on this soundtrack is excellent. Being a big fan of Flamenco and Fado music, It seemed to nestle nicely between the two. Shame about the film.

great music

Leider ist es oft so, dass Filmmusik im Original sehr verändert auftritt, ja teilweise musikalisch ein Disaster sind. Hier weit gefehlt! Identität pur, Klangqualtiät 1a, Filmszenen wandeln im inneren Auge vorbei und das sollte ja schliesslich und endlich einen Soundtrack auch ausmachen. Ich finde es ist ein sehr gutes Werk und würde mir die CD wieder kaufen.

L'album n'est pas tout neuf, la pochette aurait put être remplacée. De plus j'ai cherché à le mettre sur mon iPod et cela grésille, l'album ne marche que dans un lecteur cd et encore pas tous! Génial!!

Surprised to receive the CD in good condition. There is a micro scratch on the CD surface, but it played flawlessly. No skipped songs whatsoever. Overall, it a nice album with great songs like "Traeme Paz" and "Me Gustas Tu". The rest of the songs are pretty nice too. Loving it.
