As others have said, this is the music SCORE not the soundtrack. As far as I know, the techno-grooving songs were never released as a soundtrack, so if you want them you have to piece together your own soundtrack. Here they are:

Keep Hope Alive - The Crystal Method - from the CD Vegas
Jaan - Talvin Singh featuring Amar - from the CD Anokha
Makes Me Wanna Die - Tricky - from the CD Pre-Millenium Tension
To The Listeners - Eric B & Rakim - from the CD Follow The Leader
Rocco - Death In Vegas - from the CD Dead Elvis
Boom Boom Caw - Brad - from the Australian import single "The Day Brings," as far as I know OOP
33 - (Hed)PE - from the CD (Hed)PE
Escape From The City Of Angels - Ithaka - from the album Flowers And The Color Of Paint, as far as I know OOP

Hope this helps someone. Cheers

Like some of you, I searched out the soundtrack thinking it would contain the music used in the movie. The CD only contains the background filler instrumentals, which aren't bad but not what I was looking for. To save you the grief, I found the tracks that you may be looking for:

Keep Hope Alive - The Crystal Method (Vegas)

Makes Me Wanna Die - Tricky (Pre-Millennium Tension)

To The Listeners - Eric B & Rakim (Follow the Leader)

Escape from the City of Angels - Ithaka(?)

Boy, do I wish I'd checked out this site before buying this CD! It says on the shrink-wrap, "soundtrack". It is NOT! It is a "score", background music you didn't notice between the Crystal Method, Tricky and Ithaka tracks. They're not HERE!! You didn't notice THIS music during the movie and you certainly don't want to pay $17 for it. I've never taken a CD back before, but this sucker's history. This is FRAUD! If I wanted to listen to John Tesh... NONE of the great Techno tracks from the movie here. VERY disappointed and deceived. If anybody wants to start a class action law-suit against Columbia for deception, I'm in!! Excellent movie, loved it, but they dropped the ball here.

Like most of the people who reviewed this cd, I bought it thinking that it was the SOUNDTRACK (songs like Crystal Method's Keep Hope Alive and Trick's She Makes Me Wanna Die), but I was sorely mistaken. So, just as fair warning, If you want a SOUNDTRACK, it doesn't exist. Go get the singles. This is the music from the fight scenes and such. I give it two stars because it's ONLY good for background music. I find it impossible to put it in a cd player and listen to it over headphones. You absolutely cannot get into it, which is the case for most scores anyway.

Same deal here as everybody else. Was looking for cool music, not found it in this CD. For those looking to find anything about Ithaka try : valentim.pt/edicoes/nortesul/ae.htm

i bought this cd thinking it would have all the cool music it's movie had, but it is all just the background music to the fight scenes and stuff.i was dissapointed

The song Makes Me Wanna Die, by Tricky, that's in this movie is a different mix than the version on Tricky's Pre-Millennium Tension album. The one on the CD is slower and less techno than the one in the movie.

Keep Hope Alive, by The Crystal Method, on the CD Vegas is in fact the same song, however.

I'm so very tired of soundtracks being released that are missing the music that you actually loved while watching the movie. one of these is "The Replacement Killers." I was expecting the soundtrack to have the cool techno music like the song we hear in the beginning when Chow Yun-Fat walks into the night club. But nooo, we get cheated into this lame CD with nothing but background, poor music that leaves enough room in the CD for tracks containing the cool techno stuff. Man, whoever thought about releasing the soundtrack like this must have been a real idiot and had no knowledge of how to sell a product. "The Replacement Killers" was a good movie, but was cheated out of more money by having a lame soundtrack released. How sad.

I really liked this soundtrack, but beware to consumers. This album consists of the music score which means the whole album is instrumental. It does not include any of the songs with words that were played during the movie...only the background instrumental pieces. If you enjoy instrumental music, you will probably like this album. If not, don't waste your money.

This is masterfull, well writen, and beautifully played soundtrack. It is very easy to listen to, and showcases some increadible base work. It is one of my favorites!
