What: Soundtrack to the film dummy.

Who's on:
It's pretty low key in terms of big names but you do get plenty of "credible" artists like Counting Crows, Eels, Pete Yorn and one David Bowie.

Verdict:
Rather like the first album this succeeds in meshing up and coming bands with more established artists reinterpreting known songs. Thus you have a reworking of Bowie's Changes (with the Thin White Duke helping out), Frou Frou tackle Bonnie Tyler's cheesy Holding Out For A Hero (as does, bizarrely, Jennifer Saunders) and Pete Yorn has a crack at the Buzzcocks Ever Fallen In Love. Eddie Murphy gets in there again, this time teaming up with Antonio Banderas on Livin' La Vida Loca. Throw in Nick Cave and Tom Waits and you realise this is a soundtrack more geared to adults than kids. Rather like the film then!

i-Pod:
Little Drop of Poison - Tom Waits

Label:
Dreamworks /Geffen

Rating:
4/5
