Synopsis

Album Description

Co-created by Academy Award-winner James Cameron (Terminator, Titanic) and Emmy Award-winner Charles H. Eglee, "Dark Angel" is a sci-fi adventure series set in the post-apocalyptic U.S. of 2019 and stars Jessica Alba as the genetically engineered Max --"a revved-up girl trying to make a run-down world a better place." The series airs Friday nights (9PM ET/PT) on FOX. The soundtrack features "Trouble Again" from John Forte with Tricky and "My Neck, My Back," one of the fastest breaking Crossover/R&B hits in the country from Dirty South artist Khia. Also included are "Bring It To Me" from Samantha Cole and Public Enemy and MC Lyte doing "Dark Angel Theme." The soundtrack presents the cream of 2002's hip-hop crop in a dazzling array of sounds from both the new and old schools. All the cuts on the album have either been used in the series or will soon appear in upcoming episodes of the show.

CD Reviews

Not a true soundtrack

Eloranta Sami | 04/27/2004

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This is just another collection of pop music, labeled as a soundtrack with the pretense of cramming the music into the show. The background music and ambient soundscapes of the show, totally lacking from this album, would surely be more pleasant listening, and if you're looking for the real music of the show, this "soundtrack" is sure to leave you cold."

Sent From Up Above - Chuck D & Mc Lyte!

RedCarpet | beverly hills, ca United States | 04/25/2002

"This is not a bad attempt at a soundtrack album for a teen tv show. I mean how many tv soundtracks feature a duet with Chuck D and MC Lyte? Although they are two of the most talented mc's that hip hop has to offer, they aren't exactly considered maistream in today's InSync, Nelly, Britney Spears era. Kudos to FOX for bringing the two together. There are some filler songs on here, certain songs that I can definitely do without. But to get to the few gems on this cd it is worth fast forwarding the rest. Songs that stand out for me are "Dark Angel Theme", "No Dealz", "Candy", "The Life" and "The One". I have been waiting for a duet with Chuck D and Mc Lyte. Their voices blend beautifully on "Dark Angel Theme" bringing me back to hip hop's late 80's/early 90's golden era. My friends and I have been bumpin' this song non-stop! A tv show theme? Yes! It is definitely more hardcore PUBLIC ENEMY than mainstream tv show. The banjos on Mc Lyte's "No Dealz" really make this track stand out. Her voice sounds better than ever and I hope this is the first of many new songs to come from her! "Candy" and "The Life" were both put out previous to this album but seem to work here as well. "The One" totally fits into the Dark Angel theme. It's mysterious and actually quite bangin' for a love song. I am pleasantly suprised. I guess a tv soundtrack can't get much better than this. And this cd is worth getting for the hisoric theme song alone."

An Okay Attempt At Getting It Right

"Am I the only Dark Angel fan here who actually watched the show? The so-called soundtrack is an aiight hip-hop album, but as a soundtrack, it's one of the worst. It's only got two song on it that were actually used on the show and they didn't even get the theme song right! The REAL theme is by Chuck D and G-Wiz. I made a soundtrack of songs actually used on the show and I like it much better..."
