Judgment Night (Soundtrack) [Vinyl]

The best-case scenario for most soundtracks is that they effectively complement the film (LESS THAN ZERO, O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? et al.). But JUDGMENT NIGHT, by virtue of its careful assemblage of talent, transcends its source by creative slam-dancing leaps and stoner-rap bounds. What appeared to be a cheap exploitation of the emerging hip-hop/rock crossover trend turned out to be highly prescient. Inspired tandems like Sonic Youth and Cypress Hill, Biohazard and Onyx, De La Soul transform this collection into an almost avant-garde experiment, an angsty '90s alt-culture response to similarly groundbreaking comps like NO NEW YORK.
