Soundtrack Re-Pressed on 180g Pink In Clear Color-In-Color Vinyl 2LP!
Features Artists David Bowie, The Clash, George Michael & More!
A cool film needs a cool soundtrack, right? And none come cooler than ATOMIC BLONDE. A double LP filled to the brim with needle drops of some of the '80s best known cuts, as well as some under the radar gems, and a smattering of brand new tracks recorded especially for the movie.
David Bowie, George Michael, The Clash, Nena, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and A Flock Of Seagulls of course need no introduction, and they all contribute absolutely killer songs here. Rubbing shoulders with these A-listers are lesser known acts such as Re-Flex, whose track "The Politics of Dancing" was a minor hit in the UK and is a pure '80s synth-pop banger from start to finish. After The Fire went from playing uninspired prog rock to recording the should-have-been classic "Der Kommissar", full of funky guitar licks and a chorus so hook-laden it should be illegal. "Voices Carry" by American new wave band 'Til Tuesday features Aimee Mann on vocals and is an all-timer everyone needs on vinyl.
The record is rounded out by a series of covers of classic '80s tracks. Industrial noise pop band HEALTH offering a fresh take on New Order's "Blue Monday" which turns the cold original into a sublime slice of melodic mayhem that breaks down into electro shoegaze before going full dance floor to finish. LEX recording artists Kaleida supply a moody ethereal version of Nena's "99 Luftballons". And finally composer Tyler Bates teams up with Marilyn Manson for a cover of Ministry's "Stigmata", which sounds like Manson going back to his Spooky Kids roots, and is urgent as all hell.
Four sides of killer music wrapped in a beautiful package for one of the best action films of 2017. It's a no-brainer, really. Buy this, or be prepared to meet Charlize in a stairwell and explain why you aren't adding it to your collection...
