Free Music Notes for Party Monster
Free Music Review: Empty-Headed Happy
Hit: 4 Stars
From my trips to the Limelight, I'm pretty sure the soundtrack to Party Monster mostly won't recreate Disco 2000 for the listener, but it will still provide a numbing, druggy tripped-out atmosphere. Since, strangely, Amazon doesn't list the contents, let's start there:Mannequin "Take Me to the Club"
Ladytron "Seventeen"
Miss Kitten & The Hacker "Frank Sinatra"
Felix da Housecat vs. Pop Tarts featuring Macauley Culkin "Money Success Fame Glamour"
Waldorf "You're My Disco"
Stacey Q "Two of Hearts"
Tomcraft "Overdose"
Happy Thought Hall "Get Happy"
Vitalic "Le Rock 01"
Tones On Tail "Go"
Nina Hagen "New York, New York"
Scissor Sisters "It Can't Come Quickly Enough"
W.I.T. "Inside Out"
Stephen "tin tin" Duffy "Kiss Me"
Shannon "Give Me Tonight"
ABC "How To Be A Millionaire"
Keoki "Crash" (original mix)
Marilyn Manson as Christina "The La La Song"
Headrillaz feat. Ricky Barrow "Good is Bad"
If you can't tell from the track listing, a lot of it is actually not electroclash music, and contrary to popular belief, "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" is NOT on the soundtrack, thank goodness.
A lot of the music sounds like Kraftwerk-era old school techno when the beats-per-minute were still well below 140. For example Mannequin's "take me to the club" is bored-with-the-world down tempo dance music. Ladytron's "seventeen" and Miss Kitten's "Frank Sinatra" are Emperor Norton tracks which both leave you feeling that the vocalists are jaded, louche and stoned. "Frank Sinatra" has been described as "merciless" and it's very apt. Happy Thought Hall's "Get Happy" and W.I.T's "Inside Out" are also mindless, mild techno. Again, the female vocalists sound spacey, like they've been hit in the head with a hammer. (hmm...)
Felix da Housecat's "Money Success Fame Glamour" is a great, nihilistic anthem worthy of the club kids with a beat to rival Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax." Vitalic's "Le Rock 01" and (of course) Keoki's "Crash" are actually club-use tracks. Marilyn Manson's song also sounds like it would be great under strobe lights. Scissor Sisters "It Can't Come Quickly Enough" is, finally, not down-tempo techno. It's mellow, trippy and pretty.
Now, the 80's music. Why Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" and Shannon's freestyle "Give Me Tonight" are on the soundtrack, I can't imagine, but they are cute songs. If you don't know Tones on Tail's "Go" then you're really missing out, but I bet you already have it on The Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack. Stephen Duffy's song "Kiss Me" also sounds really 80's. And if you know Nina Hagen, you know she's an acquired taste.
There are probably better, deeper mixes available of a lot of these songs, but this is a good collection, and if you enjoyed the film, this conjures up its carefree but lethal aura very well.

Free Music Review: only slightly flawed
Hit: 4 Stars
I would have liked to have on cd a few of the actual "score pieces" from the film ( the moving atmospheric music when Michael Alig overdoses inside the makeshift tent in the hotel room, and the techno sounding version of the same music when the giant rat is telling his story .) Rather than a "score" the soundtrack is a collection of ( mostly ) dance songs ranging from the early 80's to the late 90's, all of which are heard in the film at some point or another.Free Music Review: Like a Fungus...
Hit: 4 Stars
I recently bought this Soundtrack and I absolutly love it! At first you may be a bit iffy about the songs, but then it seems to grow on you like a really catchy fungus! Although if I had made the soundtrack I would have put all the scores from the movie on it , it is still a must have for any fan of the movie or the book. If you read the book while listening to the soundtrack it flows so amazingly! Well hope you enjoy!
Skrod-la-da!

Hit: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed most of these songs and I'm looking to buy the cd but I really want to know if the song playing in the scene where macaulay culkin is in the train station with his head on the railing is on there. I really hope so cause it sounds like a great song. I hope someone checks this out and lets me know, you can email me at all_apologies@rock.comthank you
