I have just hunted down this soundtrack album to add to my Gregg Araki collection. I listened to it all night last night and I must say that it is quite the effective soundtrack. From the intro to the very last song I relived all the plath and angst that flourishes throughout the movie. I especially liked the most curious song of them all "But if you go" from Mc 900 ft Jesus. It also introduced me to the Wolfgang Press and their song "Christianity." This soundtrack definetely embodies all the darkness and surrealness of the movie it's from. To all the Araki fans, scoop this one up if you can! It's well worth the search!

This soundtrack fits the movie perfectly. I knew I'd have trouble finding a copy, but after I saw the movie I knew I needed the soundtrack.
It's a great mix. It's filled with great gothic-techno songs that seem like they were made for the movie. The songs are very impressive, and it's easily becoming my favorite soundtrack I own. Watch out Jawbreaker!
This soundtrack is out of print, and extremely rare. Try your best to snag a copy, you won't be disappointed!

The intro is Rose Mcgowan's character in the movie saying "There is just no place for us in this world". Other than a few odd-balls, the rest of the soundtrack is an electronica/shoegazer type of thing. It's a good selection of cool bands. I especially like the "Curve", "Cocteau Twins", and "Verve" tracks. "Lush" is always a good thing to hear. The "Slowdive" song closes the disc nicely too. There were a few bands in the movie that are not here, like Porno for Pyro's and Nine Inch Nails, but what can you do. The movie itself has alot of dark sex and violence, and is similar to "Natural Born Killer's", (another good soundtrack). If you like the tracklist of "The Doom Generation", you might like the soundtracks to "Nowhere", and "Splendor". All three movies were directed by Gregg Araki. Oh, and I think this is out of print, so happy hunting.

The movie maid me want to get the soundtrack. Just so that I can capture that world up close and personal, right inside my skull. It has a mix of chill-in songs with rough and slightly upbeat industrial techno/rock. A unique item to ad to your per found/Per vain music collection.
