Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media: Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2
Music From Second Guardians of The Galaxy Film On Double LP!
Deluxe Edition!
The first Guardians of the Galaxy film featured a chart-topping, platinum soundtrack album in its Awesome Mix Vol. 1. Written and directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 brings us Awesome Mix Vol. 2, featuring a compilation of memorable tracks from the '60s and '70s which are played within key moments of the film.
"This time, Gunn had a bigger budget, which allowed him to include familiar songs from superstar acts: George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord,' Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' (every band member watched the scene that features the song before giving approval) and ELO's 'Mr. Blue Sky' which scores what Gunn calls 'the most hugely insane shot I've ever done,' early in the film. 'It's the perfect song to start the movie,' says Gunn, 'because it's really joyous, but there's a really dark underpinning to it.'
There are, again, plenty of deep cuts on hand, and Gunn (who once played in a band of his own, the Icons) relished the chance to expose the likes of Jay and the Americans' 'Come a Little Bit Closer' or a true obscurity like 1976's 'Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang,' by one-hit-wonder Silver to the Marvel-loving masses. 'One of the most exciting things,' he says, 'was knowing I would be making bands that may have been forgotten suddenly be a topic of conversation.'" - Brian Hiatt, rollingstone.com
