Busta Rhymes has a great track, which also featured on his E.LE. album. This song has a crowded party feel to it which is great! Then there is Everlast a great blend of blues, folk, rap, and stitched together with an acoustic guitar sound. Alana Davis has a song that seems like a follow up of her 32 flavors album, good stuff. Next up is the duo with Curtis Mayfield and Lauryn Hill, this track is one of the best mixes between old school veteran and new solo artist.. This track alone is reason enough to buy the album. One track that took me by surprise is the Crash Test Dummies. I have never heard anything by this group other that the hit "Mmmm...." All i have to say is these guys really have grown and artists, the track is just screaming with mature, full sounds. Bjork is always a pleasure. She is an artist with an ear for producing and isn't afraid to bring the full range of her voice over the music she has put so much time into. (check out homogenius)The very last song is a classic, nothing more need be said about it. Overall this CD has good songs and great songs, and if you don't like the good ones so much the great ones are worth the purchase.

I bought the album after hearing Alana Davis' version of "Can't Find My Way Home" on the radio. After comparing the two versions of the song (Davis' and the original from Blind Faith), I find that the older version is lacking. Davis brings a very smart 90's angle to the song that adds a tremendous amount of depth. The rest of the album is pretty good too... I liked the Bjork contribution especially. Both of these emerging female artists are really finding their voices.

I sat through the movie (which was okay, not great) and all I could think of was what a perfect soundtrack this would make...and I was right...from the Mayfield number to Bjork and back to the very good Crash Test Dummies song, I have let it become one of those coveted cd's that gets to continuously run uninterrupted...every song brings its own coolness and if you're in a laid back, wanna chill out kind of mood, this is perfect. A special thank-you-god for the excellent Todd Rundgren redo!

The c.d. could of been much better if they would of added the stabbing westward song which was one the movie preview...if your looking for that song its called "save yourself" by stabbing westward and its on their Darkest Days album.

Everything was great thank you.... It came ontime with no problems and it was the music I wanted . Thank you for the prompt service

this is a great cd, it is fun and enjoyable to listen to. the best songts on this cd are all of them. if you have not listened to this cd then i recommend you do

Yeah, that's right, I said it. This forgotten gem was probably the best soundtrack of the 90s. Understated brilliance. The tracks themselves provide a better story than the film did and taken as a whole form an effective collage of the characters and story elementals. You may not get a great sense of it on first listen but stay with it, the payoff is there. Or maybe you had to hear it while drinking shoplifted beer as a high school student in 1999.

This CD has an amazing Curtis Mayfield/Lauren Hill track. Even if that was all it had, it would be worth it.

Initially, I didn't think too much of this cd, but as I continue to listen to it year after year, I realize it's really good. What I notice most is that it contains some pretty unique and fresh talents, and isn't your typical "cookie cutter" soundtrack. The first 5 songs are excellent, and after that, it's still really good. The only track I'm not too crazy about, is "Goin' Crazy". Lot's of good styles on here, "Everlast" to "Bjork", it's all pretty "mod".

It's worth Clapton's remake by Davis. Love it - great to drive to - enjoy!!
