Like a snapshot for the mid 1980s time period of the film mixed with a snapshot of the Brit Pop scene of the mid 1990s. These are songs filled with the exuberant invinciblity of youth, dreary comedowns, heart-stopping withdrawal and surges of joy. It made Iggy Pop's Lust For Life an even more ironic anthem, and had dance floors filled with the "lager! lager! lager!" refrain from Underworld's Born Slippy. Quite simply, there couldn't be a better soundtrack to the film, or a better film for these songs to accompany.

This is a great collection of songs from an amazing movie. It starts out of "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop, the jumps to Eno, Primal Scream (a great Glaswegian band), New Order, Blur, Lou Reed, Pulp, Underworld and Damon Albarn (late of Blur, soon to be of Gorillaz and The Good The Bad and The Queen). Terrific compilation of great music.
