Like it's predecessor the 'Judgement Night' soundtrack, the fusion of guitar music from metal and alternative rock bands with some of the biggest producers of contemporary dance styles makes for some raised eyebrows, and heady psychedelia intermittently. In a weird way, it feels as though, if all the edges were polished I'd be listening to the first Gary Numan Tubeway Army record, and that is no bad thing. Some of the more interesting combinations had Marilyn Manson accepting a union with Sneaker Pimps, and the Butthole Surfers grooving out with Moby.
Some combinations feel as if one party dominated the other in the studio like the Manson/808 State track (sadly the state lost), and although the track is deeply strange and brilliant, I couldn't help feeling that Soul Coughing could have pushed Roni Size into a little less familiar territory. Henry Rollins and Goldie was in full swing, but the combination of Incubus and D.J. Greyboy was like listening to a digitalized version of a David Sylvian record, cool. This CD is an adventure.
