Classic Album Review: Various Artists | Run Lola Run Soundtrack

This Euro-dance soundtrack comes at you from a couple of different angles.

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):

 


Like the multiple storylines employed in this tale of a woman trying to raise 100,000 marks in 20 minutes to save her boyfriend’s life, this Euro-dance soundtrack contains more than one version of events.

First, you can listen to the original score — eight electronica workouts packed with thumping dance-floor techno grooves, rubber-band synths and disaffected female vocals. Then, you can sample much of it over again in a different form: half a dozen remixed tracks that didn’t make the film version. It’s two, two, two soundtracks in one.
