Wow, thanks for commenting, Happy! I’ve made the edit above (I thought Immortal was a Sony company, but now stand corrected). Definitely have a lot of love for your work; Robert and I were just talking about how much we liked Blade II’s soundtrack, and I was gonna write about it here but thought we should stick to the 90’s.

I was just funnin’ above, but in all honesty, any chance we’ll see another of these “worlds collide” style soundtracks from you?

Patrik, that’s just my thoughts on the film. Nothing against Araki personally but I can’t honestly relate to Nowhere as a film like I did back in the day. All I know is that the soundtrack is still one of my favorites regardless of what it was created for. And I still need to check out Mysterious Skin. I have a feeling that may change my perspective on what he can still offer as a filmmaker.

Scott. Someone emailed me your article above. This is Happy. Never worked for Sony. Started Immortal Records (Korn,Incubus, 30 Seconds to Mars, Rage etc.) Thanks for the “love” (I think) and I will take your advice and immediately start working on new collaborative soundtracks…lol. As you said, soundtracks have changed, and are no longer appreciated as they once were. Take it easy.

@Scott If I had remembered Space Jams I would have done it. Alas! But yea, a totally amazing soundtrack for one of the least memorable films of all time.

I also really miss the music videos for these songs, that inevitably and awkwardly crammed scenes from the movie into them.

@ Lauren: Boogie Nights is one of my favorite movies AND soundtracks. I kinda want an alarm clock that plays “You Got The Touch” every morning, but then the thrill would soon be gone.

@wintersweet: Johnny Mnemonic also has a constant mixtape fixture of mine, Cop Shoot Cop’s 3 AM Incident. A fine pick indeed!

@Robert: I think listening to Mortal Kombat might give me a brain disease at this point.

Mortal Kombat too! Man, I think I have a folder somewhere with most of these discs…I might have to dig them up.

Picking on Gregg Araki is so weak. The movie hasn’t lost any of its punch. Re-wind!

wintersweet: Johnny Mnemonic, check. Hackers, check. I didn’t realize I had so many soundtracks until Scott had the idea to do this and I started going through my collection. There are so many I’d somehow forgotten about over time, like The Jackal, Carlito’s Way and of course Mortaaallll Kombaaatttt!

And Scott, I had no idea about Happy Walters and the connection there but that makes sense. Maybe because it’s the most recent, but I kinda think Blade II was the best of the three.

…some great movie scores IN the 90s. Long day already, and it’s only 11:15 AM. :P

I was absolutely going to say The Crow (I owned both the score and the soundtrack), and even Johnny Mnemonic (I know everyone hated the movie, but...) and Hackers (ditto--actually, I saw the movie with a bunch of geeks, and it was *hilarious* because we all mocked it openly, but the soundtrack with Prodigy, Orbital, Underworld, etc. was some good 90s electronica). And I don't even remember The Saint but I still have the soundtrack, and several others in that vein. (The Fifth Element, etc.) Okay, so all of my favorites are either gothy rock/alternative or electronica. :p There were also some great movie scores 90s, and I have a lot of those, too.

I love this article, there’s just so much to talk about. I have to nominate Boogie Nights, Rush Hour, Darjiling Limited, Reality Bites, to the list of great soundtracks.

MY GOD! How could I forget Space Jam! B-Real and Coolio in character as “The Monstars”?! Quad City DJ’s performing a song literally titled “Space Jam”?! Spin Doctors and Biz Markie COVERING “THAT’S THE WAY UH HUH UH HUH I LIKE IT”??!!

I think my all-time favorite soundtrack song is R. Kelly’s “Gotham City” on the Batman & Robin soundtrack because he can’t think of anything to follow “Gotham City” except “Yeah”.
