- drivers99 8mo agoInteresting, I wouldn’t have thought of that one since I remember not being impressed by the movie at the time. On Wikipedia, a quote from a review said “on the whole, it's one of the few soundtracks that works better as an album than as a movie.” That tracks!
- wredcoll 8mo agoAwhh, I love the movie also. Could be a nostalgia thing but it's just fun. Val kilmer is basically always great and it's a nice mix of sort of spy movie tropes while having fun with it.
- Fnoord 8mo agoMortal Kombat OST has a lot of good industrial (genre) in it. Bands like KMFDM, but also The Immortals (Praga Khan / Lords of Acid). Orbital - Halcyon + On + On is a good track (more mellow, and one of the many tracks perfectly mixed into the movie), but it samples Kirsty Hawkshaw from Opus III. Traci Lords - Control is actually by Juno Reactor (with vocals by Traci Lords in that version) who IMO is a rather unique/special artist (and live band), who was later featured in various The Matrix tracks. My point being, all of these artists have done a lot of great work, and the mixing was ace. Then you have other famous bands of that time: The Orb, The Shamen, The KLF, ... My fav. Juno Reactor live set (and album) is still hands down 'Juno Reactor – Shango Tour 2001 Tokyo' [1] [1] https://www.discogs.com/master/782091-Juno-Reactor-Shango-Tour-2001-Tokyo https://www.discogs.com/master/782091-Juno-Reactor-Shango-To...
