"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More With Feeling" (09/24/2002) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Rounder RecordsThis soundtrack from the television series features music and lyrics written by the show's creator Joss Whedon, as performed by cast members including Sarah Michelle Gellar. This soundtrack to the legendary musical episode of one of the most consistently entertaining shows on network TV is packed with Broadway-style songs sung by the cast with varying degrees of expertise. Put simply, it's a hoot. The premise is that a spell's been cast on them and they have to sing everything that comes out of their mouths, consequential or not, and whether they can sing or not. This leads to such songs as "They got the mustard out" (that's the entire lyric right there) and the priceless "Parking Ticket" song featuring the immortal lines "I think that hydrant wasn't there...I'm just a mortal don't you care/hey I'm not wearing underwear." The opener, "Going Through the Motions," features an ennui-laden Sarah Michelle Gellar lamenting her lack of interest in her vampire-snuffing activities, all the while fighting off a chorus of demons, ghouls, and various other manifestations of evil with all the enthusiasm of a teen forced to do the dishes. Some degree of Buffy orientation is required, and don't let the schmaltzy Disney-style orchestrations fool you--this teen musical's about as subversive as it gets.

"Interview With the Vampire" (11/04/1997) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Geffen Records (USA)The cassette version only of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE on Geffen [2064 24719] was released on November 4, 1997. Producers: Matthias Gohl (tracks 1-18); Mike Clink, Guns N' Roses (track 19). Engineers: Steve McLaughlin, Joel Iwataki (tracks 1-18); Mike Clink, Jim Mitchell (track 19). Recorded at Manhattan Center Studios, New York and Rumbo Recorders, Canoga Park, California. All songs written by Elliot Goldenthal except "Sympathy For The Devil" (Mick Jagger/Keith Richards). Elliot Goldenthal's original score for the movie INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE freely mixes religious iconography, gothic mood swings, Wagnerian flourishes and gypsy-like airs to create a saturnine romantic backdrop for the movie's lurid tale of decadence and decay. Like many of the great Hollywood score-composers, Goldenthal's writing is a pastiche of original ideas and notable effects drawn from the classics--such as the 20th century harmonies which enliven the first bars of "Escape To Paris," the Debussy-esque pastels of "Marche Funebre," the Bizet-styled dance steps of "Santiago's Waltz," and the "Rite Of Spring" imprint on "Plantation Pyre." All of this bombast is thematically augmented by Guns N' Roses' cover of "Sympathy For The Devil," the only pop-oriented track on the soundtrack. W. Axl Rose's demonic vocal eerily symbolizes the dark themes Anne Rice first touched upon in her novel, and further illustrates GN'R's ability to interpret classic material in their own lurid mold.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Album" (10/19/1999) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, TVT (USA)When speaking of the Zeitgeist of late '90s teen television and culture, it would not be fair to merely call "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" simply a tolerable element for people past the age of 20. "Buffy" stands on its own as one of the more intelligent, unique, and lively shows of the past decade. The commitment to quality carries over to the show's soundtrack, a blend of appealing alterna-rock--about half new and half previously issued--based on the show's occult themes. Guided By Voices' "Teenage FBI" from DO THE COLLAPSE is quite possibly Robert Pollard's most appetizing concoction to date. Bif Naked surprises with the enticingly ethereal ballad "Lucky" as does Black Lab, with the nugget "Virgin State of Mind." The soundtrack abounds with simple, indisposable pop tunes from virtual unknowns like Hepburn, with its jangle-pop gem "I Quit" and Superfine, with its country-tinged punk rabble-rouser "Already Met You." Finally, on any soundtrack worth its salt there is that one selection from a few years back that shoulda, woulda, coulda been a hit in a more perfect world. They choose the Sundays' Rolling Stones cover "Wild Horses." Perfect.
