is 'ghost rider' a suicide cover?

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 11:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Geffen used to call their modern rock samplers "Buzz"..

Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 11:54 (nineteen years ago) link

So how did you wind up listening to the Crow OST, Jess?

Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 11:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh wow, Rollins doing Suicide, that can't be good.

Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 11:55 (nineteen years ago) link

some chump put it on at work on monday morning. (immediately preceeded by the first dave matthews...it was mid-90s nostalgia day, i guess.)

is 'ghost rider' a suicide cover?

Yes it is. It is PAINFULLY slow and horrible. Soft Cell's cover is far superior (as are others I'm sure).

Anyway, it has "Burn" on it, it is not laden with total damnation. But it's not the best album ever by any means, not even close.

Yeah, but Medicine were on it. In fact, they were in the film, too, which was pretty much the only redeeming feature of the film. (This is when Ned comes in and bashes me for saying this, and Kaliflwr would come in and defend it, except she won't coz she's too scared Brad actually reads ILM.)

He does actually read ILM! And he knows I'm not a Medicine fan and he not only still talks to me but does nice things like make a copy of the Monitor album for me, so I proclaim him a fine feller.

Siegbran, Thursday, 12 October 2023 14:59 (six months ago) link

Well, yeah. But the shamelessness of including one song from the film, several tracks that straight -up didn't exist until after the release of the film, and releasing the whole thing two years after it was out of theatres is very much in the spirit of this thread.

an icon of a worried-looking, long-haired, bespectacled man (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 12 October 2023 15:22 (six months ago) link

It's sort of a "If You Liked the Hackers Soundtrack" playlist

Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Thursday, 12 October 2023 15:23 (six months ago) link

XP <two songs from the film> (the Leftfield tracks)

an icon of a worried-looking, long-haired, bespectacled man (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 12 October 2023 15:25 (six months ago) link

that playlist rules. should probably have at least one tune by Fluke in place of Leftfield but whatever. IMO "Fire" by Scooter belongs on every single late 90s soundtrack that song rules so fucking much

frogbs, Thursday, 12 October 2023 15:27 (six months ago) link

A similar example is the Trainspotting #2 CD from 1997 - though to its credit there it still has a few songs from the film (including Dark & Long - criminal that it couldn't make vol 1).

you can see me from westbury white horse, Thursday, 12 October 2023 15:28 (six months ago) link

Trainspotting 2 made a little more sense, as its release more or less tied into the video/laser disc release of the film. Whereas the other Hackers collection feels more like an after the fact cash grab (albeit a very well-curated one) put together to compete with the original MTV AMP comp and the still-selling original Hackers album.

an icon of a worried-looking, long-haired, bespectacled man (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 12 October 2023 15:44 (six months ago) link

Kind of surprised they didn't at least try to squeeze out a couple as direct to video joints.

Not soundtracks in any meaningful sense - just tie-ins to the Premiership, with a few genuine advert/opening titles tracks included and denoted as such - but I'm very fond of both

"Hackers to the 3rd power" was 1999 (i think) which could serve as proof for how quickly the film earned its cult status.

Who else picked up the 2nd Trainspotting soundtrack from the used bin at Sam Goody and had the cashier be like "there's a sequel??"

As a kid I first knew of Trainspotting #2 through the back page of the booklet of this comp

https://www.discogs.com/release/2343064-Various-The-BestAnthemsEver

and accordingly thought there were two Trainspotting films for years (whatever Trainspotting, which I also knew through the Lust for Life video, even was)

To confuse things more, there eventually was a mediocre sequel to Trainspotting called "T2 Trainspotting" with its own soundtrack. Not sure why they went with that title when a far far more iconic sequel which is commonly called T2 exists

Iggy Pop - Lust For Life (The Prodigy Remix)
High Contrast – Shotgun Mouthwash
Wolf Alice – Silk
Young Fathers – Get Up
Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Relax
Underworld And Ewen Bremner - Eventually But (Spud's Letter To Gail)
Young Fathers – Only God Knows
The Rubberbandits - Dad's Best Friend
Blondie - Dreaming
Queen - Radio Ga Ga
Run-DMC Vs Jason Nevins - It's Like That
The Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais
Young Fathers - Rain Or Shine
Fat White Family - Whitest Boy On The Beach
Underworld - Slow Slippy

That was in fact the joke, according to Danny Boyle:

“I always thought that if these characters were asked to do a sequel they would agree reluctantly and say ‘all right but you have got to call it T2 so that you can annoy James Cameron.'"

OK I'll allow it

The daft thing there is the subtitle because presumably the T already stands for trainspotting

I thought as far as decades-later sequels go it was pretty good. Soundtrack hit the right notes
