American Beauty: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 1999 film starring Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening.
Description[edit]
The soundtrack album was produced by Chris Douridas, Sam Mendes, and Michael Ostin, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media in the year 2000, the first year to offer this award.
The soundtrack features two tracks from the film's score, composed by Thomas Newman, which won several awards. Elliott Smith's cover of the Beatles song 'Because' was the featured over the end credits for the film. The track 'Dead Already' was later featured in the 2005 film Madagascar (which was also a film from DreamWorks Pictures).
Newman's 'Any Other Name' and 'Dead Already' were sampled by Jakatta for his house track 'American Dream' in 2000.
The opening track 'Dead Already' was used by the band Genesis during their 2007 Turn It On Again Tour as their intro music.
