The companion CD to the film from director Lynne Ramsey (Ratcatcher, Gasman) isn't just a soundtrack--it's also a plot device; these 14 tracks, which range from gamelan drumming to a rollicking ditty from Ween's bizarre 12 Golden Country Greats, compose a mix tape left for the titular heroine by her boyfriend before he committed suicide. Consequently, an individual, yet not inaccessible, inner logic guides the programming, through hipster staples by the Velvet Underground and Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood to a judicious handful of contributions from Warp stable artists ("Nannou," a whirring symphony of wind-up toys by Aphex Twin, proves a captivating capper to the disc). But it's the cuts from or inspired by Kraut rock pioneers Can, from the jittery funk of "I Want More" to bassist Holger Czukay's goofy "Cool in the Pool" and the multipart "Blue Milk (Edit)" by Can disciples Stereolab, that best convey the mix of introspection and absurdity that permeate this mesmerizing set. --Kurt B.
