'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.

Very confused for a few minutes when I assumed you were referring to this:

another RHCP riff on the radio that year

Crazy Town: Sampling RHCP To Sound Like RHCP So Well That Most People Actually Think <It Is RHCP>

The Foos track has kinda been orphaned (IIRC, Grohl hated it), but it's nice, the maybe last time you could call them a Power Pop band.

Many xps re: the Great Expectations soundtrack. I owned that! I remember that Lauren Christy song as being really amazing. I also remember seeing that Sheryl Crow played accordion on that Scott Weiland track

Just remembered this, when trying to recall where the Foo Fighters version of "Baker Street" came from. It's a two-disc set called "Interpretations" from EMI's Essentials series in 1998, which features contemporary EMI artists covering EMI catalogue classics.

... which I see Maure posted about 17 years ago: the crow ost is the worst record i have ever heard

100% fire tho

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.

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

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

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

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).

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.

I am confident that there are much worse records than any of these.

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

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/comp/various-artists/club-hits-98_99/

"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
