From the first seconds of the film Inside Man, a compelling mood is set via the powerful music that accompanies the opening scene. The song, "Chaiyya Chaiyya Bollywood Joint" is an adapted, hip-hop-inflected tune (featuring Punjabi MC) from India's most famous soundtrack creator, A.R. Rahman. Those hoping for a full-on South Asian exploration should note that this is the only Bollywood number on the disc; the rest of the film is scored by Spike Lee regular Terence Blanchard (Malcolm X, 25th Hour,Bamboozled.) Blanchard--a former member of both Lionel Hampton's band and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers--has created moments of quiet beauty in the soundtrack; "Press Here To Play" is a pensive piano and trumpet journey that ends (too soon) at 90 seconds, while "Nazis Pay Too Well" is another highlight, a masterfully-mournful orchestral piece well worth further expansion. Those pieces aside, the lion's share of the soundtrack is a variation on one of two separate musical themes, both of which set an appropriate tone throughout the film. On their own, however, they are almost too soundtracky to play even as background music over dinner. For personal use, Blanchard's non-film, jazz recordings may be the way to go. --Denise Sheppard

 Chopped Inside Man November 2, 2009
Wayne L. Hill (Highland Springs, VA)
Composer Terance Blanchard is a master composer - I'd rate him one of the finest presently working. But the problem is with the soundtrack.
One would assume Mr. Blanchard developed his themes in the standard, quasi-symphonic format when he composed the music for this film. The problem with the soundtrack is that the music has been "sliced and diced" into miniature little vignettes to match events in the film. While that technique may suit the visual medium, it is dreadful when one merely wants to enjoy the music.
Consequently, we're treated to, for example, the theme of the antagonist called "Dalton's World" presented, in all of its splendid orchestral magnificience, for a mere 46 seconds. This theme, which is a masterpiece, and which reappears throughout the soundtrack in the fasion of a Wagnerian "leitmotif"... has been uprooted from its assumed musical development (think symphony) and dropped as a tidbit, with no beginning or end. This is incredibly frustrating!
The entire soundtrack is presented this way - as if 7 or 8 short pieces of really good music were run through a film director's vegetable slicer and then scattered to the wind. There is no sence of relationship, development, synthesis or affinity. Because Mr. Blanchard displays in this soundtrack the gifts of a great composer, this is doubly irritating! Ah; what might have been!
I wish they'd figure out that people who buy soundtracks do so because they like the music - not because they want to "utilize the musical fragments to visualize the motion picture" - or whatever lead the producer of the soundtrack to present such a hatchet job! Ah; to get my hands on a copy of Mr. Blanchard's original music - before it was guillotined to fit the movie - that would be priceless indeed!
 Inside Man August 30, 2009

I had seen the Movie " Inside Man " and I was more involved with the movie than the theme so after watching it several times , it was then when I sat down I that I started to notice the themes more than the movie , I liked the beat and the way they sang , it was then that I wondered if I would be able to procur a disc with the theme / song , I went to a Video store and they said try w.w.w Amazon , well since then I will when anything appeals to me I now know that I will be able to source it from you .
I was asked if I was happy about your packing my items , the Sopranos , Inside man , The beast , and Stalingrad I found them professionly done . Thank You .

 One purchase, One CD, One Song August 26, 2008

If you're looking for the CD that has "Chaiyya Chaiyya Bollywood Joint" on it from A. R. Rahman, then you found it. It's an addictive song. However, I should've paid more attention to the description of the Inside Man CD. It's a score, not a soundtrack; meaning there are blips of instrumental music punctuated by only one memorable song. If you're interested in musical scores, then perhaps you will appreciate it. If you're interested in Chaiyya Chaiyya, then spend more time searching for A. R. Rahman and be willing to explore other Bollywood soundtracks and compilations. I'm wary of CDs now that don't allow for downloading individual songs or don't provide a preview of each track. As for Inside Man, I loved the movie and continue to press replay on Track 27.
 One trick album February 9, 2008

I only bought this album for the track "Chaiya Chaiya" (which was used for the closing credits). The rest of the album is plain boring and if I could have bought the one track somewhere I would have.
Thoroughly likable soundtrack January 23, 2008
Vankor (Close to Lake Michigan)
If you enjoy the movie, you should like the soundtrack, unless of course you just aren't a soundtrack person. There is a good mix of different music on the album, and the ending track (played at the beginning and credits of Inside Man) is really catchy. I'll have to look for more Bollywood music after listening to this. Terence Blanchard does an excellent job of capturing the feel and mood of the movie with his music, and many of the little music cues and character pieces are included on the album. If you liked the movie and you like soundtracks, this is a great choice!
