This album has a hard-driving dance beat that even dysfunctional Trekkies will be able to sway to. Shatner rapping is worth double the price of the album.

Fans of Free Enterprise will be pleased to find here a soundtrack as quirky and lovingly assembled as the movie itself. If anything, the film's musical counterpoint is more accessible, while still having some lovely pluses for the fans in its packaging and two William Shatner tracks. The musical tastes of the filmmakers lead to an album that works equally well at a party or soundtracking a late-night drive.

Select highlights:

"The Great Bank Robbery" starts off the album with an infectious bass riff and some terrific jazz grooves.

"Apples & Diamonds" by Bertine effectively updates Dusty Springfield's "Spooky" in a great lounge-worthy track.

"Metaphysical" - The energy ratchets up a couple of notches on Sumack's alt-rock contribution, with some deep percussion and interesting lyrics about resisting the temptations of gurudom.

"(Getting Some) Fun Out Of Life" - The lovely (especially in voice) Madeleine Peyroux provides this Ella Fitzgerald standard, which accompanies the cute romantice montage in the movie.

"She Sells Sanctuary" (extended version) - For once, an extended version worth the extra couple minutes, as this classic Cult song can never go on too long.

And of course, William Shatner's tour-de-force "No Tears For Caesar" with the Rated R. A hilarious and catchy recitation of Marc Antony's funeral speech for the fallen Roman leader, the film's finale piece is followed after a few minutes of silence by a track based around a deleted scene. Shatner recalls a harrowing and eye-opening Rescue 911-like experience in a burning building. It goes without saying that these last two tracks are worth the price of admission.
