After reviewing the credits, actually only FOUR of the songs in this album ARE in the movie and they are the tracks by new order, dj krush, expansion union and junkie xl... the rest is ... rap that has NOTHING to do with the motion picture (...INSPIRED BY...???).

For all of you that are looking for the missing tracks (most of them techno, electronic or even ambient) here's a list of the songs that SHOULD have been in this cd...

-"Go Get On It" by Southside Reverb (first ending credits song)

-"Call & Response" by Source Direct

-"Yeah" by DJ Krush

-"Rattle the Fear" by Spirit Fire Child

-"Ni Ten Ichi Ryu (Two Swords Technique)" by Photek

-"UT1-Dot" by Polygon Window

-"Ether" by Siren

-"Ah Singapore" by Shonen Knife

-"Chin Chin" by Bang Wu Cherry and DJ Dune (features "Japanese Schoolgirl Rap" played in the Night Club scene)

-"Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

...and for the "ambient" music:

-"Soleil" by Solitaire

-"Eclipse" by Solitaire

-"Fearless" by Solitaire

-"Rainbow Voice" by David Hykes

Shonen Knife did music for this film (they aren't, alas, on the CD), but they did not perform the music in the club scene. The Japanese schoolgirl band is called Bang Wa Cherry, and the song is "Chin Chin." Information about Bang Wa Cherry, like do they have an album, seems hard to find. But if you search Shonen Knife MP3s, you'll find copies of "Chin Chin" misidentified as "Ah Singapore" (the track from the movie which was actually by Shonen Knife).

The Confusion track rocks hard - great dance music, great kickboxing background music. Just about all the other tracks are stuff that isn't in the movie. I guess they're okay if you like rap, but it is misleading to call this a "soundtrack".

If you're looking for that hot teen Japanese girl action, search Napster for Shonen Knife. The song from the movie is "Ah Singapore".

I have some information to those who want info about that song that was sung in the movie when Blade crashed the bar.it's called "Chin,Chin"composed by Damien Wagnersung by Bang Wa Cherry & DJ Junethey were the people singing it in the bar.

I did some searching and with the help of others I've found the three songs at the end with the credits. But just to talk about the CD.. a nice combo of Rap and Techno.. I enjoy both. For the three song at the end are- (in order heard on tape)#1- " Go get on it"by Southside ReverbCD: Breakneck#2 " Ni Ten Ichi Ryu "by Photek CD: Mtv: Mtv Amp or Ni Ten Ichi Ryu #3 " Rattle the fear "by Spirit FirechildCD: Bottom Heavy White Trash GangsI hope this helps and I would like to thank all of you for your help.

Everyone I have talked to who saw the movie RAVED about the *TECHNO* sound track. After I saw it, I went right out and got it. MAN was i disapointed what up with this RAP?? This movie has a TECHNO sound. Not an Ice T gonna busta cap in you sound. TECHNO should have been what was on the cd even if what was in the movie wasn't enough for a cd how about extra tracks by the same artists. That I can accept. This blatant attempt to trick people into buying this crap is disgusting. I kinda wondered when i saw the "Music from and inspired by the movie" on the jewl case. Oh well. at least track 12 rocks.

Ok lets start from the beginning. The movie was good. The music in the movie was good. So where is the music that's actually from the movie, on this soundtrack? In my opinion, the two best songs are the mix of "Confusion" by New Order, which was an 80s synth-pop group, but now supposedly does techno, and "Playing with Lightning" by Expansion Union, another good techno group. Secondly, there was no rap in the movie. So where did the rap on this "soundtrack" come from. I'm not a fan of rap/hip hop or whatever it's called. So i got really angry when i saw that instead of this CD being a great techno compilation, it was just another rap-lovers' CD. Techno fans, the only good things you'll find here are the few techno songs at the end. But you can thank the guy that made this "soundtrack" and left out all the good stuff so he could replace it with crap music, that wasn't even in the movie, for that. I gave it two stars for the two good songs.

I was very dissapointed after buying this cd.Then why give it two stars only for one great song on it and that's track 12 by New Order that's played at the begining of the film.Other then that one song,the soundtrack is pure garbage.

If you like the club scene and Track 12. Go buy the Cd single and take this one back to the store. Why support this drivel when you can get your money to the artist and support their music.

There is too much good music to pay for 50% of a bad disk.

Blade was an excellent movie (one of my favorites) and I was very intrigued by the music. However, this disc does not appear to contain any of the songs (like the rave scene at the start) that I liked. What happened? And why? The rap songs did not stick out in the movie yet they seem to dominate the CD. How disappointing.
