Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
An influential TV series of the '90s has generated a dark, eerie,
and vaguely campy set of "inspired-by" songs from a diverse
group of musical fans. Pride of place here goes to three tracks:
the Foo Fighters' delicious cover of Gary Numan's "Down In The
Park," a filthy remake of R.E.M.'s "Star Me Kitten" by literary lion
William Burroughs, and a titanic, cross-generational collision
between Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper on "Hands of Death
(Burn Baby Burn)." Sheryl Crow's "On The Outside" is a toss-off
in this company, while Mark Snow's famous X-Files theme loses
its creepy edge in both extended and P.M. Dawn-remixed
incarnations. --Jeff Bateman |
