Trainspotting: Soundtracks Volumes 1 & 2



Celebrating the 30th anniversary of its release, Trainspotting’s accompanying soundtrack plays a central role in propelling the heroin-fueled debauchery of the film’s protagonist Renton (Ewan McGregor) and his socially marginalized chums Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), Spud (Ewen Bremner), and the notorious Begbie (Robert Carlyle).


An intoxicating assemblage of adrenalized romps and more subdued, melancholic anthems that seemingly evoke the dichotomy of cooking up and coming down, the collection offers choice selections spanning ‘70s era rock (Brian Eno , Iggy Pop, Lou Reed), Britpop (Blur, Elastica, Primal Scream, Pulp, Sleeper), and dance/electronica (Leftfield, New Order, Primal Scream, Underworld). 


A second volume comprised of 15 tracks, most of these courtesy of the same artists featured on the inaugural volume, was released three months after the inaugural edition.


And now, both releases are here for you to enjoy.

New Order: RETRO

Image
  So, we've had a greatest hits. A couple in fact. There's been the unofficial split and the unofficial reunion. There's been the "Back to Mine" compilation mix CD. Here's the Box Set. And coming soon, the musical, words by Ben Elton, arrangements by Andrew Lloyd Weber. Have the mighty New Order become conventional in their old age? Or, after a career characterized by wilful individuality, have they just given up resisting? Whatever the reasons, if it puts some cash in their pockets after the creative and financial heaven 'n' hell that was Factory, who could begrudge them? For this, ladies and gentlemen, is New Order. Quite simply, one of the best bands to have ever pressed their dreams into wax. "Retro: The Box Set", beautifully packaged as ever, attempts to encapsulate the sprawling, messy marriage of high art and street culture that is New Order. And it does so like this: Disc One- Pop- selected by Miranda Sawyer Disc Two- Fan- selected by...
