This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Why the world needs a teenybopper update of Dangerous Liaisons is beyond me. (What’s next? Jennifer Love Hewitt in Like, Waiting For That Godot Dude?)
But if you want to get an update on upcoming alt-rock releases, it’s worth liaising with this soundtrack. You get new tracks from Blur (the breezy Britpop of Coffee & TV), Counting Crows (the piano ballad Colorblind), Kirsten Barry (the dark love buzz of Ordinary Life) and Marcy Playground (a twangy, bloozy Comin’ Up From Behind), along with remixes from Fatboy Slim, Placebo and the usual also-rans. One complaint: Verve’s Bitter Sweet Symphony is, like, so last year.
