If you enjoy "two for one" price deals, then this album should put a smile on your face. Although touted as the soundtrack to Mattheu Kassovitz's excellent French film La Haine (Hate), it also includes the music played in his earlier movie, Matisse. The first seven tracks on the record are from La Haine. Classics like Bob Marley's "Burnin' and Lootin" as well as Isaac Hayes' "That Loving Feeling" need no commentary. Other fine tunes include such old-school funk numbers as "Outstanding" by the Gap Band and "More Bounce to the Ounce" by Zapp & Roger. Surprisingly, that fetching remix of Edith Piaf's "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," which livens up the dreary ghetto halfway through the film, is not found on the CD. The Matisse lineup is not quite as strong, but it's not bad either and packs plenty of variety. Standout tracks include the jazzy instrumental "Say It Over and Over Again" by the John Coltrane Quartet and Les Little's French hip-hop number "Je Ne Voic Que Moi." This is not just a CD for the fans of La Haine and Kassovitz; anyone with a penchant for something a little different is sure to enjoy it. ~ David Peter Wesolowski, All Music Guide
