Even if the film isn’t all that great, the soundtrack to “Repo Men” has some serious pedigree.
The twelve song set leans heavily on a mix of hip hop, electronic music and alt rock — and sometimes all three at once. Wu-Tang soulmates Method Man and RZA contribute some tracks, while UNKLE, Beck and alt rockers Moloko stop by for appearances. Taking things down a notch are Rosemary Clooney and Nina Simone and things get soulful with tracks by Toots & The Maytals and William Bell. Score composer Marco Beltrami also has one of his pieces included to close off the disc.
“Repo Men” opens today and if you like what you hear, the soundtrack hits stores on Tuesday.
