    Erik & All,

    I think the score soundtrack will be pretty good. I don't know if one exist
    but as mentioned there is a soundtrack available that will sell to the
    public per se.

    As for an actual score that is what I'll be looking for(I guess I'll be
    doing business with Groove Distro for the score). The begining of the movie
    has some excellent Flamenco music and dancing. The looks that Thadie Newton
    gives are priceless. The Flamenco creates a great mood. So if there isn't
    a score and if anyone out there is jones'in for some great atmospheric
    Flamenco look for Gino D'Auri's first release on the Sonic Atmospheres
    label. I can't remember the title of the CD and I don't have it here at
    this locale.

    Semper Motociclismo,

    Pace'

    Well, the original is very good, Simply Vinly of England has it out
    on double LP heavy vinyl. But, not so sure about the more recent
    ones. I think Eric Serra (did many a Luc Besson movie "La Femme
    Nikita", "Metro", "THe Fifth Element"), and the title track was
    remixed/reinterpereted by Moby. The MI:2 soundtrack that's out now
    is mosly filled with bad rock/hip-hop mutants and hard rock stuff.
    Not sure if the'll release the score.

    >and is one of my favorite "odd-time-signature" dance
    >songs. he actually attacked dnb in 5/4. turned out
    >really subtle and good.

    There is also a Dimitri from Paris remix from the Sérialement Vôtre
    compilation from the French Commando Records, which isn't too bad,
    but, does stick to the very recognizable theme (with a "Neutron
    Dance" quote), but, that 5/4 does give one a bit of a stumble. (The
    comp I've got also includes versions of Hawaii 5-0, Le Prisonnier and
    Chapeau Melon et Bottes de Cuir (The Avengers).)
