For those of you who are unfamiliar with the film 'City of Industry', you're not alone. Thanks to cable TV and HBO/Cinemax, 'City of Industry' has found a new home, and a small, but appreciative fan base. I, too, have found myself among those select few.
My introduction to the late nineties film came one day while I was channel surfing. Coming across a flash of Harvey Keitel's "Roy Egan" playing solitaire while having a moment of rage caught my immediate attention, and had me curious from the word go. After watching the remainder of the film, I couldn't resist picking up a copy of the DVD to watch it from the very beginning.
Cool characters.
Smooth dialogue.
Funky music.
I was hooked.
After watching the film in it's entirety, I started searching for the songs from the film. Believe it or not, but there actually was a physical soundtrack released...a rarity in the soundtrack world nowadays. I managed to track down a cheap copy on eBay for a penny...probably the copy that "Skip Kovich" was listening to after he burned down the trailer park.
Quango Records released 10 of the hottest trip-hop and psychedelic sounds the late nineties had to offer. Bands like Massive Attack ("Three") and Lush ("Last Night") stand out like a sore thumb on this album. However, there were certain songs missing from this release. Where was Buffalo Daughter's "Silver Turkey", which was played predominantly after the trailer park went up in flames? Being the completionist that I am, I decided to track down the remaining missing tracks and make one helluva mixtape. I've also added some cool dialogue bits to round out the release, as well as a suite of score from composer Stephen Endelman, who's music was sadly overlooked when the original soundtrack was released. Enjoy!
