I've got the Kill Bill Volume One soundtrack, but (of course) a great piece of music from the movie is missing.
I want to get the music that is used in the snow covered japanese garden during the showdown between The Bride and O-Ren Ishii. Everything slows down and then music starts. Clapping at first then a spanish guitar that builds to the fight scene.

Um, that's on the Vol 1 soundtrack. It's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by Santa Esmeralda.
Yeh, its song number 10 and its 10 minutes long so the section you want is probably in the middle somewhere....I think the best song thats in the film is when Elle Driver's whistling that tune in the corridor....thats not on the soundtrack though, so I'm not gonna buy it...or maybe I will....I dunno.

Since your question has already been answered, I just wanted to make a comment about a particular music cue in "Kill Bill, Vol. 1".
Did anyone notice that Tarantino actually used a few seconds of the title theme from the TV show "Ironsides" as sting music? [Note: I saw the movie on an airplane, and can't remember the specific scene it was used in...]
While I thought it was an interesting - and undoubtedly hip - choice, it hit me like a ball-peen hammer and totally took me out of the movie for a few seconds.
Consequently, this is what I remember most about the soundtrack. I'm still deciding whether I liked it...

Thanks to everyone for your quick responses.
I was impatient and didn't give "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" a chance. Too many times the soundtrack released is a shadow of the music of the film - I flinched.
"Twisted Nerve" is an eerie/humourous piece, Tarantino did a great job in selecting the music for this movie. The Ironside piece was used twice (I think) during dramatic close ups.
Another choice selection is "Battle Without Honor Or Humaity" - Tomoyasu Hotei. It's used when O-ren Ishii and her lieutenants are strutting down the hall in the restaurant before the big fight with the Crazy 88s.

Yep, it's on the soundtrack as well. This wasn't meant as a reference to Ironside, however, but a reference to the kung-fu film "Five Fingers of Death," which uses the same excerpt whenever the protagonist is about to fight (i.e. in the same context Tarantino used it).
