Details: Amazon.ca Just like the Fox TV show it’s taken from, Music from the O.C.: Mix 1 is studded with moments of subtle exceptionality until the end, when things get really good. Hard as it is to discount the haunting beauty of Joseph Arthur’s « Honey and the Moon, » the crispness of Spoon’s spunky, handclap- and piano-spiked « The Way We Get By, » and the hushed cool of Jem’s bouncy « It’s Just a Ride, » this CD heats to its steamiest in the final four tracks. The Dandy Warhols cut through the Beatlesque rapture brought on by the 88s’ « How Good it Can Be » with the snarky, self-conscious pop of « We Used to Be Friends »; William Orbit helps Finley Quaye free himself from the feel-good constraints of reggae on the dark, obsession-themed « Dice »; Alexi Murdoch drags the mood down farther still with the sung poetry of « Orange Sky »; and Phantom Planet ends things on a satisfying but quizzically simple note with « California, » the show’s theme song. Whether The O.C.’s target audience–teenagers–matches the disc’s may be beside the point: Because Mix 1 is enhanced with scenes from the show, computer-equipped diehards who prefer their pop fluffier, with less indie attitude, will dig the vibe despite themselves. -Tammy La Gorce Product description O.C.: Mix 1 ~ Tv Soundtrack
