This CD, which is titled "Subway stories," which was an HBO special released in 1997. This CD is neither an OST (Original Sound Track) or Score, but occupies some plane between the two.

Although one of the most memorable musical items is "Subway stories" acted by Bill Erwin, but evidently played by Mecca Bodega. It is one of the few that are ON this CD.

If you were expecting the excellent Sax Cantor Riff, sung by Taral Hicks, it is not there, nor is the excellent Jewish tune by Dan Rous as the Jewish Cantor.

Otherwise, the CD is mediocre at best. It could have been better by including some of the other significant music from the movie.

On a whim I borrowed this CD from a friend. These guys are awesome! The first track has vocals by a guy who is a dead ringer for the lead singer from Soul Coughing (maybe it is). The rest is, well, I really can't say more than just listen to a few tracks--you'll probably buy the CD!

While the tracks are original some sound a little too consistant with each other. But the sounds are soothing background for a groovy trance...Some of the sounds are not so much an eastern sound as one review states but more of an outback Australian sound with the Saharan and Arab influences...but definitely the definitive "street style" music that you feel you would find in the NY bohemian underground. Highly recommended to let your mind go.
