Chariots Rise - Lizzie West

Amazon.com

The Special Jury Prize winner at the 2002 Sundance Festival, director Steven Shainberg's film deftly turned a particularly tweaked boss-employee relationship into a warm, sometimes amusing meditation on sadomasochism. And while composer Angelo Badalamenti's creepy, neo-gothic soundscapes for longtime collaborator David Lynch have generally milked humanity for every last drop of perverse behavior, here his delicate, evocative instrumental underscore does precisely the opposite. Ever atmospheric, Badalamenti's electro-acoustic work--perfectly set up by Leonard Cohen's smoky "I'm Your Man"--creates a sense of both mystery and adventure, a gentle musical portrait of the troubled, longing souls beneath the overt S&M trappings. If its occasionally tinkly interplay between piano and guitar sometimes seem a tad New-Agey in scope, it also seems a telling metaphor for the story's elusive boundary between emotional darkness and light. Lizzie West's alt-folk "Chariot's Rise" neatly bookends Badalamenti and Cohen with an upbeat irony that also parallels the film's undercurrent of interpersonal fantasy. --Jerry McCulley

Been waiting for the price to come down ..........2006-07-27

But waiting no longer. It is now on i-T-u-n-e-s for their normal price. Well worth the money for the download. It is even better than I remembered from the movie.

if you liked this soundtrack..........2005-09-19

Angelo Badalamenti also did the Holy Smoke! soundrtack and it is amazing! his unique, distinctive sound comes through on both soundtracks and the magical quality adds such a dimension to both films. for those trivia buffs, i was excited to find out that he also composed the theme song for the opening of Inside The Actors Studio (bravo). please check out the soundtrack and the movie (Holy Smoke! staring kate winslet & harvey keitel, directed by jane campion), they are both well worth your time.

The movie is great and so is this soundtrack!!!.......2005-06-18

I am watching "Secretary" right now, probably for the millionth time, and so I decided to buy the soundtrack. It's great, but don't spend a lot of $$$, I found it quite easily on shopaol.com and I only spent $19.41, and that was with the 3-6 business day shipping!!!

***The "theme" song is superb, and I love "Chariots Rise", it is fabulous!!!***

smile.......2005-04-02

This movie and soundtrack both make me so happy. And no other song turns me on as much as the one that plays during Lee's little fantasy sequence. Too bad I don't pay $35 for CDs.

The CD with the S & M price!.......2005-01-28

Great movie, great score. Agreed. But what's with this $60 price at amazon.com? I'm getting pricing for 1/4 of that price elsewhere. Must be trying to take advantage of the lifestyle. I'll pass.

Love Lizzie.......2007-01-11

I had never heard of this artist until I was watching my favorite show of ALL times, Third Watch, and I heard Lizzie West in the background. I bought the CD for 1 song, but was knocked out by the whole CD. I recommend this item.

lizzy west has the voice.......2005-07-24

it's great to hear of a new artist ....that actualy has talent. this girls voice is a rare treat . Hope to hear a lot more of her soon !

Welcome to the Center!.......2005-03-02

I was introduced to Lizzie West through my favorite t.v show Alias. It was her song "Prayer" that was playing during someone's funeral. I knew right then and there that I needed to go out and buy this amazing CD. Right from the beginning she draws you in with her amazing voice, and takes you with her on her journey. An amazing CD!

A terrific CD!!!.......2004-12-20

Lzzie West has a terrific voice and her lyrics are moving! I discovered Lizzie West after hearing a song of hers in the movie Secretary. I bought both Holy Road and her CD "Lizzie West"! I love both of them! I hope she produces more!

one of my all-time favorites.......2004-11-13

I first saw Lizzie West on top of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis(July 2003) and she blew me away with her amazing voice and spirit. I bought the CD and over one year later still listen to it regularly. She is a true American original and this CD is one-of-a-kind.

Album Description

Lizzie West and her songs are going places, have been places, and are here right now. "I Pledge Allegiance to Myself," the Brooklyn-based cross-country gypsy's first CD for Appleseed, recounts her latest adventures on what she calls "the holy road" - the open-minded path to experience, ideas, honesty, and living life in the moment.

Lizzie's debut CD, originally self-released and then reissued in slicked-up form by Warner Bros. as "Holy Road: Freedom Songs" three years ago, won her acclaim as "Breakout Artist of 2003" from AOL and Entertainment Weekly. Hits magazine called her "Marianne Faithfull, Grace Jones and PJ Harvey rolled into one." Her songs were featured on TV shows ("Everwood," "Dawson's Creek," Third Watch") and in movies ("Secretary," HBO's "Rock the Boat"). She was on the fast track to mass appeal. But ongoing disagreements with her label and the sudden loss of her parents to cancer made Lizzie realize it was time for a change.

Fans of Appleseed Recordings' dedication to artistic freedom and social justice through music, Lizzie and her musical collaborator, co-producer, and boyfriend, Anthony Kieraldo (a.k.a. The White Buffalo), brought Lizzie's new CD of 12 original songs and two cover versions to the independent label.

Recorded in New York, Nashville and Jamaica, "I Pledge Allegiance to Myself" is an intoxicating array of personal and philosophical experiences set to arrangements informed by folk, roots, hip-hop, reggae, gospel and contemporary Americana. One moment Lizzie is the playful, sexy seductress in the delightfully sunny reggae of "Rope Me In and Smoke Me," the next she's the jealousy-wracked accuser in "God Damn That Man." She issues her personal declaration of spiritual independence in the title track; in "Portrait of an Artist as a Young Woman (Thank You)," she gratefully thanks the life force within us all, then digs for hope beneath the pained life-during-wartime vignettes of "19 Miles to Baghdad." Although troubled love is a recurring theme, her unquenchable belief in self-determination resurfaces on many songs, including a haunted version of Bob Marley & the Wailers' "Get Up, Stand Up." The CD's other cover song is a bittersweet ride on Steve Goodman's classic "City of New ! Orleans," which becomes a bruised plea for unity in our fractured country.

Another Great Listen from Lizzie West.......2006-12-27

I was so excited to see a new release from Lizzie West. This is another great album. Holy Road is still my favorite, but this too is good! My favorite song is Rope Me in and Smoke Me, very sassy and seductive! This lady has a great voice. Her cover of City of New Orleans is quite good also.

I heard it while flipping through stations.......2006-07-04

One morning as I was coming up with reasons not to get up yet (actually, it was a holiday), I heard an interview with Lizzie on the local Air AmeriKa station. Leaving aside that I heard the info on a purveyor of left-wing, fellow traveller, pablum, this woman has talent! Her songs sound great, and she has something to say, even if I personally don't quite agree with it. Definitely worth buying & a talent to watch.

Excellent Song, I searched for 2 weeks to find album.......2006-05-09

thanks for having it

awsome album & artist , talent for a change , great new sound

a peek under the covers.........2004-08-05

a great peek into just some of the range offered, a flavor of the creativity involved. a must for the collection

hello.......2004-04-21

Lizzie West is someone who appeared in the mid-1990s in Williamsburg. She used to play places like The Abbey when there were no clubs in this part of Brooklyn. I remember her playing guitar and singing Leonard Cohen's "Bird On The Wire" in the subway at Bedford Avenue. It seemed like everyone knew who she was. She was one of the unique characters on the scene with an undying vision and no reasons to change. On this EP five years later, she is still a Leonard Cohen fan. She covers "I'm Your Man" adequately. Apparently her beatnik gypsy and country stylings now have a home. The full record is supposed to come out soon. She sounds like a young Natalie Merchant. Hopefully the songs on the album as good as "Family Christmas?"

The birth of greatness.......2004-04-14

It is not often that I find an artist who totally captures my ears and heart. Lizzie West did all of that with one single song: Chariots Rise. I heard it on the Secretary soundtrack (now out of print) and had to purchase everything else this woman had out on the music scene.

Lizzie's music cannot be compared to anyone else because she is unique -- she doesn't take "no" for an answer and plays by her own rules. You can hear heartache and elation in her words -- each chord blends seamlessly with the lyrics to make a musical masterpiece. Do yourself a favor and buy this album (also pick up her full length, Holy Road: Freedom Songs) -- I guarantee that these two discs will not leave your cd player anytime soon.
