Performer Notes
  • When speaking of the Zeitgeist of late '90s teen television and culture, it would not be fair to merely call "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" simply a tolerable element for people past the age of 20. "Buffy" stands on its own as one of the more intelligent, unique, and lively shows of the past decade. The commitment to quality carries over to the show's soundtrack, a blend of appealing alterna-rock--about half new and half previously issued--based on the show's occult themes.
  • Guided By Voices' "Teenage FBI" from DO THE COLLAPSE is quite possibly Robert Pollard's most appetizing concoction to date. Bif Naked surprises with the enticingly ethereal ballad "Lucky" as does Black Lab, with the nugget "Virgin State of Mind." The soundtrack abounds with simple, indisposable pop tunes from virtual unknowns like Hepburn, with its jangle-pop gem "I Quit" and Superfine, with its country-tinged punk rabble-rouser "Already Met You." Finally, on any soundtrack worth its salt there is that one selection from a few years back that shoulda, woulda, coulda been a hit in a more perfect world. They choose the Sundays' Rolling Stones cover "Wild Horses." Perfect.
Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (10/22/99, p.91) - "...suggests the series' emotional obsessions: from repressed anger...to glorious gloppy romanticism....wonderful voice-from-the-crypt melodrama." - Rating: B+

Q (1/00, p.129) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...splices the theme music with selections from Hepburn, Garbage, The SUndays, Guided By Voices, rootsy country fiddle player Alison Krauss and various lesser-known names....It's not without a certain Gothic charm."

Uncut (2/04, p.74) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Kicking off with The Breeders' blast at the theme tune, it rolls through the Dandy Warhols, Dashboard Prophets, Aimee Mann, The Devics and Laika. There are score fragments, too..."
