4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining look at 90s college rock, September 20, 2011

This review is from: A Matter of Degrees: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

While I can't vouch for the film 'A Matter Of Degrees', the related soundtrack has gathered together a bunch of semi-legendary 'left-of-the-dial' alternative rock artists from Pixies to Lemonheads to Miracle Legion and more on one cd. All thirteen tracks are listenable enough, and- although tone and lyrics vary- I love this offbeat kind-of feeling that pervades this collection. In particular, "Evergreen Memorial Drive" by Nova Mob (i.e. the fantastic Gary Hart formerly of Husker Du) and "Where is my Mind?" by the Pixies stand out. For people of a previous generation, I guess this is a look back to their 90s days in nostalgia. But for anyone else, it's a nice trip.
