TV/Movie Soundtrack Recommendations...

Nip/Tuck: TV Soundtrack. © 2004.
A CD as cool, hip and unpredictable as the show itself. An eclectic mix of what I would consider Ambient "Chill Out" music. A great grab bag of artists, whom you will most-likely want to check out, individually, after experiencing the CD. Bebel Gilberto (*check out Tanto Tempo Remixes) in particular stands out for me, though I also really like The Engine Room's sound.
Favorite tracks include: 1, 3, 7, 8 & 11.

01. A Perfect Lie (G&D Remix) - The Engine Room
02. So Damn Beautiful - Poloroid

Splendor: Motion Picture Soundtrack. © 1999.
This is one of my favorite Gregg Araki movies. God! Could Matt Keeslar BE any hotter?! Damn! Definitely worth checking out! If you're familiar with Gregg Araki's films, then you know how vibrant and kitschy his films can be. His music choices for his film's soundtracks are just as tasty. This affordable, yet undiscovered little gem can be found at Half.com for as low as $3. You can't go wrong with this CD, it's one of those rare CDs that you like from beginning to end. Great for an evening with friends.

Permanent Midnight: Motion Picture Soundtrack © 1998.
