The music mixes modern atmospheric quasi-rock touches with Middle Eastern influences (with particularly great success on the tracks \"Welcome to the Suck\" and \"Zoomies.\"). The latter manifest themselves in both the beats and the instrumentation--the credits include soloists on exotic instruments such as the bowed cumbus (a type of banjo-like lute) and the processed xaphoons (a sax made of bamboo). All the more jarring, then, when the CD's handful of songs pop up. (It's quite a jolt to hear Bobby McFerrin's \"Don't Worry Be Happy\" after four eerie instrumental tracks.) The other song picks are obvious but well chosen: T-Rex's \"Bang a Gong (Get It On),\" \"Naughty by Nature's \"OPP,\" Public Enemy's \"Fight the Power,\" and Tom Waits's \"Soldier's Things.\" Still, it's Newman's work that propels this CD, not the pick-up songs. Surprisingly, Wagner's \"Ride of the Valkyries,\" which figures in one of the movie's most memorable scenes (when soldiers watch Apocalypse Now), isn't included here. --Elisabeth Vincentelli Product Description Bobby Mcferrin\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 602498884614\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0602498884614\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e Arabic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43209970778371,"sku":"1I-AXR0-ODBB","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51PhTlOfPCL.jpg?v=1661439512","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/jarhead","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
