markjochems - Wow… That’s incredible! Ha-ha: “Rat from Ipanema”… So, basically, it displays/lists/carries every single track from the film, Ratatouille, n’est ce pas? Pretty cool. I wish that “A Rat of Luxury” was included in the original Ratatouille CD…
Thank you for the track listing, information, and photograph!

P.S. Just out of curiosity, are you, perhaps, one of the many musicians who works at Pixar Animation Studios? Just asking…
Thirty six? That’s a lot of tracks. It’s awesome how sentimental the people at Pixar are- I just love the bit that says, ‘we’ll always have Paris’. It’s like something you’d say on a date or something. Thanks for showing us, markjochems!
markjochems,
Wow, lots of tracks on that cast & crew CD.
Kumpania (#22) is one of my favorites (it’s the music the “rat band” plays that all the rats dance to when Remi’s dad says “My son has returned!”). I always thought that one should have been on the released CD. And you even get some of the alternates.
Mitch, it’s not all the tracks from the film, not by a longshot (they can only fit so much on a CD). It looks like even some tracks found on the normal CD aren’t included on the crew CD. But instead you get some neat stuff: tracks used in the movie (like Kumpania) that never made it to the soundtrack CD, as well as things you’ll never hear anywhere (such as the unused, alternate version of “Paper Chase”).
Rachelcakes - That whole track is sexy! Because of where it fits in the movie. Linguini and Colette have just started to be specially interested in eachother. And at one point, he totally checks her out! I’m referring, of course, to the shot where the “camera” goes in Linguini’s perspective and he looks from her feet all the way up her curves, etc. It’s hot! And the music mirrors, or enhances Linguini’s brand new feelings or ideas about the opposite gender and their newfound romance (while trying to keep it professional in the kitchen!) with the sensual sounds of the bass and [I think it’s a saxophone?] saxophone. It’s super jazzy and, well, steamy!
Props to the orchestrator on that!
That’s one of my favorite parts of the movie, musically.

I think a better term for “Losing Control” would be sultry. Heheh. To me, the song represents the struggle and the fighting back of emotions and desires. For the most part of the song/scene, Linguini and Colette are playing a game where they are trying not to show their interest, a mating game, if you will. Since the song starts out slowly then builds up, that part would represent themselves letting go and giving into to their love. It also represents the struggle between Remy and Linguini, where beforehand, Remy had Linguini pretty much under his thumb, but Linguini’s love for Colette overpowered Remy’s control over him, and that’s where the fun part of the song begins.
I dare anyone to try and listen to “Heist to See You” without listening to “The Paper Chase” directly afterwards. It simply cannot be done. Try it.
One thing I just noticed about “Souped Up” and various other Ratatouille tracks, is the xylophone (I think) as well as other instruments that are made to sound like glasses and crockery clinking against each other. That’s really clever, because even in an unconscious way, it supports the whole movie happening in the environment of a kitchen. Just another way of Pixar polishing and adding detail to their work.
And the three tracks “Abandoning Ship”, “Dinner Rush” and “Anyone Can Cook”, when listened to in succession, gradually break you down where it leaves you blubbering like a baby, before building you up again and lifting your spirit so high you think your heart is going to burst. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
I thoroughly enjoyed the soundtrack. And I hope they might re-release it, perhaps, and include more songs within it. I also like the PC game’s soundtrack, as well. But, of course, the songs are encoded weird so I can’t listen to them without having to play the game. They are in .AIF format and I tried to seek some way to listen to them. No dice, though.
Otherwise… I should say that I am absolutely enthralled by the music and all. I usually have to turn it off sometimes if a song causes me to get weepy. Because I thoroughly enjoy it abit too much. And if I cry… then I will turn into a pile of sobs. Not because of sadness, though, because I love the song I’m listening to…
Ah well… even the soundtrack was given an award and all that. Haha.
Yes, I also love how Pixar incorporates even the most minute of details into their work so as to truely label it as “perfect”, if not authentic to the highest degree. It is yet another reason to admire that particular studio – dedication is one of the keys to their success.
Speaking of soundtracks, does anyone else love that very last tidbit of a score… entitled “Ratatouille Main Theme”? I feel like I want to… run out onto the top of a plateau and feel the wind whistling past my face or something, it’s that beautiful. blushes
Yeah, there are some tracks which simply must be heard chronologically – or, at least, in succession – in order for the effect to fully wash over you in one smooth swipe. Perhaps Mr. Giacchino planned it that way, as far as those two tracks (“Heist to See You” and “The Paper Chase”) are concerned. Heheh…
I like the “Ratatouille Main Theme” since the beginning is a stripped down, simple version that turns into a grandiose affair. It’s not my favourite track and I like “End Creditouilles” as a better choice if I want to listen to variants of the main theme, but I can understand why you like it. For some reason also, “Ratatouille Main Theme” reminds of the music from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
The thing I like about Michael Giacchino, is that his music overtly tells the story. Yeah, I know that’s what any score is supposed to do, but it seems as if you could listen to the score and haven’t even seen the movie, you could figure out what is going on on the basis of the “ratty” and “non-ratty” themes alone.
Also, you know you have listened to the Ratatouille score too much when you can hear the orchestra players coughing and scraping their chairs. Heh.
Ah yes, I do see what you mean as far as the last two tracks are concerned. “End Creditouilles”, as you mentioned, combine a decent portion of the score to create one, simultaneous flow of music – it makes for a good listen when one has guests at their residence during a get-together of some sort. Heh.
It reminds you of “Willie Wonka”? Really? That’s interesting. Perhaps it’s the whimsical taste of it…?
Indeed. That’s the mark of a good composer: when you can mentally formulate the production along with the score prior to viewing the film.
Ha-ha. Yeah, I may have heard a few instruments and things scraping against one another (now and again) in the soundtrack myself.
It’s awesome how sentimental the people at Pixar are- I just love the bit that says, ‘we’ll always have Paris’. It’s like something you’d say on a date or something. Thanks for showing us,
