As we mentioned a week or so ago, “The Darjeeling Limited” soundtrack is due in stores on September 25 and now the finalized tracklist is out.
Wes Anderson fans generally peeved that not every single song in the movie is included on the CD should be somewhat happy. The film uses 24 songs (lots of score from Satyajit Ray films; no Mark Mothersbaugh this time) in it and the CD contains 22 of those tracks, including the first ever Rolling Stones track on a Wes Anderson CD (we called it, “Play With Fire” makes the cut, thanks Abkco).
In the liner notes Anderson writes about his appreciation for being able to use the music of both Satjayit Ray and Merchant Ivory films. “I am very happy to have been allowed to use the music from these films, which cast such a spell over me, and I hope it will do the same for you in this new context,” he wrote.
We’ve written about this thing a lot and deeper look into the music included on this CD can be found here and here.
