Rating - 3 Stars

The early 1990s were a great time for rock fans, because the line between so many audiences blurred under the banner of the 'alternative nation'. Rock, indie, metal, -insert style here- all stood side by side, rubbing shoulders at festivals and all charting worldwide as albums flew out the record stores in numbers they hadn't since rock's heyday in the 1970s. Albums like the soundtrack to The Crow were a direct result of this, mixing and matching bands to capture the widest audience possible. Film-makers themselves were often hamstrung in music choices in their own films, due to back door deals to promote the flavour of the month for an associated record company. For this reason many soundtracks of the time are now long-forgotten - a mish mash of bands and styles with no coherency, and only a single track or two worth listening to today. The Crow manages to avoid this trap by carrying a strong set of songs that thematically weave together. Matching the movie's dark tone, many of the tracks are brooding and build slowly, and there is a definite industrial undertone evident throughout. Like many of the best soundtracks it also contains a bunch of unreleased tracks and features great bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Rollins Band, The Cure, and Pantera mixed with other less-known artists to create a great contrast. Shrouded in shadows, it i isn't an album to listen to when you are looking to lift your mood, but it is great to carry you through a sombre day.
