RESIDENT EVIL - Motion Picture Soundtrack
A soundtrack can certainly enhance a movie, if not offer the opportunity
to tag on songs to sell the soundtrack afterwards (or even before its
opening!). When a cracker of a movie also offers up a cracker of a soundtrack,
then you simply cannot lose. Marilyn
Manson delivers one moody and creepy audio
landscape for this modern zombie movie (based on the PlayStation
game). Sure, the tracks by the dozen or so hard & heavy acts may not all
be included in the film's main body, but does that matter? For years fans
of these musical genres have been discriminated against, so why shouldn't
they have the opportunity to get their musical style via soundtracks (even
though the fad is bound to pass). A slamming movie deserves a slamming
soundtrack. And this Milla Jovovich
hottie fronted zombie-infested flick gets it twofold. In the shape of
the 4 Manson
soundtrack slices and a range of ass kicking current bands. The album
takes off with the masked mayhem mongers Slipknot
- a previously unreleased mix of My Plague. This leaps straight
into a Slipknot
remix of Marilyn Manson's
Fight Song, punching twice as hard as the original. The other hefty
guests on this tightly packed and sizzling release includes the inimitable
Fear Factory,
low tuned growlers Coal Chamber,
the intense Static-X
and remixed Mudvayne
with many previously unreleased tunes. Rammstein
lends their dark German cyber-metal edge while Depeche
Mode's grungy cover of Iggy
Pop's Dirt does not feel out of
place at all. A similar case with that of the Prodigy
Remix of Method Man
and Crystal Method's
unreleased mix. Heavies Ill Nino,
Korn-influenced
Adema,
hard rocking Saliva
and Five Pointe O's
sweeping crunch round it off before the atmosphere-laden 4 original score
numbers by Marilyn Manson
dig into the psyche of the film's terror, horror and adrenaline, bringing
this incredible soundtrack to a glorious end - only to play it again from
the beginning! And if the 3 added audio clips from the movie doesn't make
you want to check out the flick, at least the Marilyn
Manson moods are sure to inspire you.
Otherwise go out & buy the PlayStation games and get busy!
