Made
Except for theDean Martintrack that opens the set, the soundtrack of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau's second feature-length team-up couldn't be much more different than that of their first, the lounge-centricSwingers.Made's music, though, does celebrate living large, just as the earlier disc and itssequeldid. From Dino to Underdogs' "Ain't Nothin' Wrong with That," an ode to "making cabbage [and] living lavish," these tunes are well suited to the streetwise Mafia farce. The hip-hop heart of the album leans more toward party fun (DJ Quik's "Do Whutcha Want," Nightmares on Wax's "Ease Jimi") and lighthearted sensuality (A Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation") than shoot-'em-up gangsta stuff--a wise move that both avoids the obvious and underscores the base innocence of the Vaughn and Favreau characters.--Rickey Wright
