Its really good stuff. Would probably now be described as trip hop
and is worth getting to hear earlier versions of Olde Scottish's 'Wild
Stlye' (not sure if the tracks on there are from the original sound
track - they are credited to DJ Black Steel and I'm pretty sure that
it was a member of Blondie that did the original film score or did I
dream it?) and lots of similar dark hip hop tracks. Also has a song
on there that was sampled on the early Wild Bunch (Massive Attack's
previous incarnation) track 'Machine Gun (Down By Law)' to
re-establish an acid-jazz connection.

Colin.
