the crow ost is the worst record i have ever heard

(Actually, I'm also the way I am due to being lost in the sea of Thriller's massive success)

'the beach' soundtrack : saw the movie last night (bleur) and blow me down if the soundtrack isn't the most DATED thing u ever did hear.

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.

Hackers had yet ANOTHER volume after that. Now is it shameless?

Hackers³: Music from and Inspired by the Original Motion Picture

"Why Can't It Stop" – Moby
"Godspeed" (BT Edit Mix) – BT
"Absurd" (Whitewash Mix) – Fluke
"Quiet Then" – Cloak
"I Am Fresh" – Monkey Mafia
"Phuture 2000" (radio edit) – Carl Cox
"An Fhomhair" – Orbital
"Fashion" (Ian Pooley Mix) – Phunky Data
"Psychopath" (Leftfield Mix) – John Lydon
"Stop & Panic" – Cirrus
"Strong in Love" – Chicane
"Hack the Planet" – Brooklyn Bounce
"Diskette" – Simon Boswell
"Launch Divinci" – Simon Boswell

Ah, there’s Fluke

They should have made two more Hackers movies too!

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

2 Trains 2 Spotting

Lol

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

The Fate of the Trainspotters

Barb Wire

Tommy Lee–Welcome To Planet Boom 3:58
Johnette Napolitano–She's So Free 2:54
Michael Hutchence–Spill The Wine 5:51

This is a goofy one. The soundtrack to the Mel Gibson/Robert Downey Jr. Vietnam Action Comedy Air America is mostly Oldies, but it's led off by three new rando covers:

Aerosmith–Love Me Two Times
B.B. King And Bonnie Raitt–Right Place Wrong Time
Charlie Sexton–Long Cool Woman In Black Dress

On the subject of the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall of the British film industry, this thread got me to thinkin' if there was a soundtrack album for Tank Girl, and yes, there was:
https://www.discogs.com/master/61335-Various-Tank-Girl-Original-Soundtrack-From-The-United-Artists-Film

It had:

Stomp - Ripper Sole
Björk - Army Of Me
Devo - Girl U Want (which from what I remember was a re-recording)
The Magnificent Bastards – Mockingbird Girl
L7 – Shove
Hole – Drown Soda
Bush – Bomb
Portishead – Roads
Joan Jett And Paul Westerberg – Let's Do It
Belly – Thief
Veruca Salt – Aurora
Ice-T – Big Gun

You know what I like about the best song-based soundtrack albums? Even when the songs are all different styles, they seem to hang together. They make sense. There's an underlying creative vision, a kind of focus. Not so Tank Girl. With perhaps the exception of "Army of Me".

Inevitably, with that link being Discogs, it's full of people requesting a vinyl repress. Which raises the question of why. Is it supposed to make your home look like an authentic 1990s home? But nobody bought the album, and it only came out on CD. If you want to recapture the look of the 1990s you'd want the CD, not dirty old vinyl. And it's not exactly Judgment Night.

Was there a soundtrack album for Hardware? Yes, complete with PiL's "The Order of Death":
https://www.discogs.com/master/134200-Simon-Boswell-Hardware-Motion-Picture-OST

The collision of Soundtrack collectors & "Everything on vinyl" heads is quite the weirdo pileup.

Courtney Love was the music supervisor for Tank Girl, a role she accepted after backing out on playing Jet Girl after Kurt died.

The soundtrack sold pretty well, spinning off a couple Alternative Radio hits with the Bjork and "Mockingbird Girl" (a Scott Weiland side project, he thought enough of the song that he rerecorded on one of his solo albums).

It even got a tie-in video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtOjON_n4Vw

There's this odd period post-Singles and/or The Crow where there were a number of 'youth pictures' seemingly only greenlit because the studio knew the soundtrack would be a hit. Tank Girl certainly feels like one of those.

It just occurred to me that Tom Cruise films typically have really duff soundtracks, but then I remembered that Jerry Maguire had a His Name is Alive track so now I don't know what to think
― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, May 12, 2004 6:52 PM (twenty years ago) bookmarkflaglink

TIL that "Wise Up" originated on the Jerry Maguire soundtrack

1. “The Magic Bus”(Live At Leeds) – The Who
2. “Sitting Still Moving Still Staring Outlooking” – His Name is Alive
3. “Gettin’ In Tune” – The Who
4. “Pocketful Of Rainbows” – Elvis Presley
5. “World On A String” – Neil Young
6. “We Meet Again (Theme From Jerry Maguire)” – Nancy Wilson
7. “The Horses” – Rickie Lee Jones
8. “Secret Garden” – Bruce Springsteen
9. “Singalong Junk” – Paul McCartney
10. “Wise Up” – Aimee Mann
11. “Momma Miss America” – Paul McCartney
12. “Sandy” – Nancy Wilson
13. “Shelter From The Storm (Alternate Version)” – Bob Dylan

Nancy Wilson’s score cues are so forgettable

There's this odd period post-Singles and/or The Crow where there were a number of 'youth pictures' seemingly only greenlit because the studio knew the soundtrack would be a hit. Tank Girl certainly feels like one of those.

The imagery was fairly popular worldwide, and Deadline had gone m/l mainstream by then off the back of the proto-Britpop bands it also covered -- and the first collection was one of Penguin's bemusingly disparate attempts to follow up their success with Spiegelman's MAUS, along with Michael Dougan's short story anthology. (And still, afaik, the only time Tank Girl has been reprinted in the correct aspect ratio.)

Oh yeah, it was certainly a popular comic. That was during my comic reading days in the mid-'90s and I devoured mags like Wizard and Hero Illustrated every month, including their movie news columns, where you could trace development histories on all the various and sundry comic book films/series of the time that did or (mostly) did not happen. It seems like United Artists entered into the project in good faith that quickly went wayward.

Looking at wiki, I do see that the soundtrack didn't sell as well as I thought it did, not even going Gold.

Weird that Face to Face's Disconnected isn't on the tank girl s/t, I recall it featuring heavily in the movie.

Here's one I used to own on cassette for some reason. If anyone IDs this one, I'll be impressed.

1 Draggin' The Line - Beat Goes Bang
2 Perfect World - Alias
3 Chains - Lorraine Lewis
4 The Best Thing - Boom Crash Opera
5 What She Don't Know - Flame
6 I Only Have Eyes For You - Timothy B. Schmit
7 Life's Rich Tapestry - Modern English
8 Viva La Vogue - Army Of lovers
9 Bitter - Terrell
10 Keep The Faith - Valentine

Obviously it's Persona

Google, or did you actually recognize anything here?

But I saw that movie a dozen times
