Faust

is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Where many soundtracks consist of a few known groups and several unknowns, this soundtrack is the opposite as it actually features most of the biggest names in the underground scene. Most of these songs have been released on other albums before, but that only makes the soundtrack more of a sampler of the scene in the late '90s/beginning of the century. Some of the better bands on the soundtrack are represented by their weaker tracks; good examples of this are 's two contributions (which suffer from the awkwardness that set in after founder left the band) and 's weak entry (which ironically is the band that founded in the wake of his departure). Still, there are some fantastic songs on the soundtrack, especially the entries from underground heroes , 's savage and 's driving Even the classic sounds of are represented by two of their best tracks. With almost ten years of good represented here, this does make an excellent primer for anyone curious to hear what was going on in the underground while spread their evil in the mainstream. ~ Bradley Torreano
