The Saint: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=97060F18B5A958C2&search_query=the+saint+soundtrack

9 out of 14 tracks on youtube in one playlist, not bad

HEAVY HIT AFTER HEAVY HIT AFTER HEAVY HIT

9. Funk - Daft Punk

Daft Punk – French Band

lol

I wish I'd noticed that before I submitted the poll

also, using the edit of "Atom Bomb" on the soundtrack was super wimpy

mad respect to the last gasp of greatness from Luscious Jackson tho

This soundtrack, courtesy of a promo copy, was a staple of my college newspaper in spring '97. The Chem Bros obviously, but the Duran Duran song isn't bad.

Even though I think "Setting Sun" is awesome, "Pearl's Girl" is on a completely different level (and don't get me started on "Da Funk").

I think thing I find surprising is that I still enjoy that Bowie track a lot.

The best track from that album.

It's sort of weird for me to play a soundtrack album and not have any desire to skip any of the first 10 songs, ever.

Love the Daft Punk, Chems and Underworld tracks obviously, but Orbital did a great job of what could have been horrible in the hands of, say, Apollo 440. The technofied remix on the 12", The Sinner, is a killer.

There was a trend in the 90s of lousy movies with great, or at least forward-thinking, soundtracks - Judgment Night, Shopping and both the Schumacher Batmans for starters.

ha yeah the Schumacher Batman movies have FANTASTIC soundtracks; I think the terribleness of "Batman and Robin" directly contributed to me underrating "Moaner" for about 5 years

xpost

otm, the title track is a str8 banger imo

I bought this and never played it because I couldn't bear the cover

The Sinner is pretty large but the original is kinda dull and unadventurous. imo. Beached is their best soundtrack thing. xp.

"The Sinner" is pretty amazing, yeah.

srsly, on this current listen through I have deep abiding mad love for the first 10 tracks on this; we'll see if that changes when I hit track 11 because I don't actually remember that one.

aw, "Dead Man Walking" starts dragging when it stops being full-on happy hardcore, boo

The mumbly Bowie part in the last third is awesome!

OH SHIT NOW I REMEMBER TRACK 11

this soundtrack is fucking incredible

I like Atom Bomb - it was on at least 2 other soundtracks from the time (Palmetto was one). But Pearl's Girl wins.

Beached is their best soundtrack thing

P.E.T.R.O.L. on Pi imo.

best original then? mind you i haven't really heard event horizon. Or Technologicque Park, original to xXx apparently :/

Event Horizon is kind of skippable IMO

lol the Duncan Sheik track is still a raging dick tho

still, pretty impressive strike rate, 13 out of 14?

We need to follow this with a Wipeout 2097 soundtrack poll. That's like a late 90s time capsule.

still pissed that I lost my Wipeout 2097 soundtrack even though I think I own every track on it on different releases

I haven't played a computer game since 1998 so in my mind it never gets better than flying a missile-firing spaceship around a futuristic racetrack while listening to Firestarter. I'm aware that gaming may have advanced somewhat since then but if they want my attention they'll have to bring the big beat.

If you have access to a PS3, you owe it to yourself to get WipeoutHD like IMMEDIATELY

does it bump 'loops of steel'

?

no, but it bumps a bunch of tracks that are almost as awesome, esp if you get the Fury expansion pack:

* Ed Rush, Optical & Matrix: Frontline
* MoveYa! & Steve Lavers: Chemical
* MIST: Smart Systems
* DJ Fresh: X-Project (100% Pure mix)
* Mason: Exceeder - Special mix
* Booka Shade: Steady Rush
* Kraftwerk: Aerodynamik - Special mix
* Noisia: Seven Stitches
* Stanton Warriors: Tokyo

The Fury expansion pack also added the following additional music tracks:

* Noisia: Machine Gun
* Gingy: Swagger
* The Crystal Method: Acetone
* The Touch: Le Night Dominator
* Spector: Just Hiss
* Two Fingers: Marmite

The Noisia tracks in particular are so precisely my type of shit.

Also, as a bonus, you can import your own playlists, so you can just rip the Wipeout 2097 disc onto your PS3 and play using those tracks as the soundtrack.

best original then? mind you i haven't really heard event horizon. Or Technologicque Park, original to xXx apparently :/

that honour goes to 'Initiation' from their Octane soundtrack (and later on Blue)

this OST lacks Crystal Method

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Dan, I trust you have checked out the Noisia FabricLive mix (FabricLive 40)?

There's also a funny cover by the Smashing Pumpkins of the Cars' "You're all I've Got Tonight" in the Volvo advertisement escape/chase scene of the movie...

Didn't see this, but surely wouldn't have voted for the title track, which is a carbon copy of the original and hardly sounds like typical Orbital at all.

Well, I'd add it sounds like "The Box" with the Saint theme bolted on, but hey.

"The Box" has an obvious John Barry influence, but also more typical Orbital synths in addition.

Yeah.

btw I recently rewatched this movie and any affection I had towards it was 100% because of a) the soundtrack, and b) Elisabeth Shue is v pretty
