Fight Club: Original Motion Picture Score
The Dust Brothers are best known as the production duo that everyone from theBeastie BoystoBeckandWhite Zombiehave turned to for help behind the mixing board (and to great results). With the soundtrack toFight Club(the movie based on theChuck Palahniuk novel), we finally get a glimpse of one of the duo's original creations. Filled with dark techno and sparse industrial passages, it's a bleak though interesting listen. Sinister funk gives way to medieval chants on "Homework," but the bulk of this disc is all about samples and synths. Don't expect to find the quirks ofPaul's BoutiqueorOdelayhere, but in terms of good movie mood music, the Dust Brothers have done it again.--Jason Verlinde
