Yeah I saw that record about 8 months ago in a hip-hop oriented store in
NYC callled Fat Beats, but I haven't seen it lately.
No, you didn't dream it, it was a member of Blondie (Chris Stein, the
guitarist and writer of most of the songs) who did the movie soundtrack (I
believe he collaberated with Fab Five Freddy as well...) The collaberation
isn't that strange if you remember that Freddy also had a lot to do with
the production on the song "Rapture."
Anyway, the soundtrack for the movie was great, but I don't think that it's
the same stuff on that album, although I will do some research...
