With pop song-collection soundtracks becoming an increasingly popular way for artists and labels to market new music, the connections to the films they're supposed to be supporting becomes increasingly tenuous. Witness <I>Trainspotting #2</I>;. Inspired by the success of director Danny Boyle's bleakly hilarious tale of a band of smacked-out Scottish louts and the strong pop collection that underscored it, <I>#2</I> is nearly as thematically compelling, if artistically suspect. These are songs that, as the producers put it, "inspired the filmmakers or (have) been inspired by the film." Thus we get star Ewan McGregor's memorable "choose life" monolog sampled and looped over the dance music of PF Project or Joy Division's "Atmosphere" simply because the director "always wanted Joy Division in the film." What's next? <I>Gone With the Wind</I> featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird"? --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Robbery. Zero star.......2007-03-14

This item was never delivered. My money is lost. I would have rated Amazon 0 star if the option existed.

3 out of 5 stars The true die hard Trainspotting fan.......2007-03-09

If you do consider your self one, than this is it. You got the book, the movie, the CD. All that is left is this. Even if you don't its got a lot of good song.

2 out of 5 stars music, but not trainspotting fans.......2005-07-09

Ok, I guess. No way close to Trainspotting #1, Iggy Pop n'all. Hardly listen to it. Too electronic & rave for me!

4 out of 5 stars Great album, but falls short of the first one.......2002-03-06

I enjoy this album very much, however I don't like it near as much as the first one.

The remixes aren't as good as the original tunes and there are a handful of tunes tossed in that seem out of place here. Habanera? Golden Years by Bowie? Huh?
