Call it a soundtrack producer's dream. One of the most vital and
influential bands in modern-day music cuts a song entitled "If God Will
Send His Angels" just months before you are hired to put together a
soundtrack for a movie entitled City of Angels. The band is U2, and
their song not only opens the City of Angels soundtrack, but it is also
the anchor of a group of tracks that narrowly escapes the sappy trail
that the movie blazed when it hit theatres. In all actuality, the
soundtrack sounds much too dark, menacing and legitimate to be attached
to the film. Alanis Morissette assures the direction of the album when
she follows U2's less-than-perky offering with "Uninvited," which is
nothing if not vintage Alanis. From there on the quality drops off
somewhat, but not until after Jimi Hendrix comes in with "Red House."
It is still amazing to this day how the sounds of Hendrix on the guitar
could be so many things all at the same time - soothing, moving, eerie,
and untouchable. In what amounts to the same effect as pulling the
emergency brake while traveling down the highway, the producers
followed up Hendrix with one of music's most overrated commodities -
Paula Cole. As popular belief would tell you, the movie is rarely
better than the book. While the same has not been proven conclusively
in the relationship of movies and their soundtracks, be assured that
City of Angels is much better to listen to than to watch.
