Various, Forces of Nature soundtrack

(Dreamworks)

Reviewer: Russell Baillie

The movie itself might be a lightweight vehicle of Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck, but its car radio is tuned to a rather fab station. This Robbie Robertson-produced collection has both pop smarts (U2's strident cover of Everlasting Love and Chris Tart's breakbeat take on Love The One You're With), much moody grooves (Propellerheads, Faithless, Tricky, Pigeoned) and occasional guitar grit (Swervedriver covering Magic Bus, Gomez, a remixed R.L. Burnside) throughout. Useful.
