In Our CD section: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

The movie Slumdog Millionaire won eight Academy Awards at the Oscars, including "Best Original Score" and "Best Original Song" for the A. R. Rahman-composed work. Surprisingly, according to published reports, the soundtrack took less than three months to plan and pull together. Standouts on the soundtrack include Rahman's award-winning "Jai Ho!" and M.I.A.'s "Paper Airplanes" (in which fans of the Clash might recognize a sampled riff from Combat Rock's "Straight to Hell," a song that has been rerecorded by Lily Allen, Moby, and as a duet by Elvis Costello and Jakob Dylan).
