Generally Good Collection

Alf Kremer | Denver CO | 12/05/1999

(3 out of 5 stars)

"An oddball collection of tracks serve as a soundtrack. Three previously-released B-sides by 80's bands (TFF's "New Star", U2's "Dancing Barefoot" and Duran Duran's "Make Me Smile") are perhaps the strangest items here, but they're all OK. General Public's take on the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There" is OK but starts to grate after awhile. Other highlights include New Order's inarguable "Bizarre Love Triangle" (which appears in an odd single mix), and The The's catchy "That Was the Day". Nothing on this album is truly bad, although several songs (Brad's "Buttercup", Teenage Fanclub's "Like a Virgin") simply aren't interesting. Probably worth picking up cheap."

One of the best soundtracks

"I like nearly every song on this soundtrack. It's nice to be able to listen to a movie soundtrack and think of the accompanying scene as opposed to one that is either loaded with instrumental music or tunes that weren't in the movie.



I especially love U2's "Dancing Barefoot." Not only is U2 a great band in general but their soundtrack work is just as good as their regular material. I also enjoyed Duran Duran's "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)." I tended to think of them as just a band of the 80's but was proved wrong.



The movie was enjoyable and so is the soundtrack."

"Excelente banda sonora para una pelicula excelente. Solo si habeis visto la pelicula entendereis el porque de mi puntuacion. Las versiones de canciones y las canciones indeditas de algunos grupos son de lo mejorcito. Especialmente la de U2 y la de Duran Duran. Esas voces reconocibles a la primera, cantan canciones solo aptas para los mejores oidos."
