Editorial Reviews

Sometimes dubbed "Star Trek's evil twin" by its admirers, the television series Lexx seems hell-bent on being the tawdry mirror image of the original Trek and its various spinoffs. Canadian composer Marty Simon puts his wealth of rock and pop experience to good use on the show's soundtrack, leaning heavily on drum loops, evocative samples, and snarling guitar in a manner similar to the work of Eric Serra. But the show's quotient of satire and general loopiness also affords Simon some fun with music that ranges from the almost collegiate chorus of the "Brunnen G Fight Song" to the erotic parodies associated with the show's star-crossed love slave, Zev/Xev. In short, it's the perfect music for a bunch of morally challenged misfits seeking their destiny aboard a galaxy-hopping mutant insect. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars lexx- marty simon, August 26, 2001

By	maria rakhsha (Muncie, IN United States) - See all my reviews

the music Mr Simon contributes to the series is what first drew me to the show. His musical interpretation of the content is unsupassed by any composer to movies, television or plays...not only does he create hauntingly beautiful scores but he contains in his CD's a sampling of every genre of music today - salsa to opera...I have even created a bellydance to "Feppo's Party". I am buying another set (the movie soundtrack and the tv series soundtrack to keep as a back-up should my current discs become damaged. There is something for everyone on these cds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music that gets under your skin..., August 19, 2001

By A Customer

This is an excellent CD. The music has a pulse that you can FEEL rather than just hear. You don't have to be an avid Lexx viewer, my sister who has never seen an episode loves a lot of the tracks too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lexx Soundtrack - All Versions, June 2, 2003

By	Talyn Paxor (Cheektowaga, NY USA) - See all my reviews

The Lexx soundtracks are amazing! The combination of modern techno with fantasy essence reminds me a lot of Enigma!
The night Lexx finalie was played, I sang Yo-A-O along with Kai, Xev, and Stan. I nearly cried whe Kai died. He wanted peace so badly but I wanted it to continue. There should be more Lexx movies now that Lexx' had an offspring.
