Soundtrack: Gummo
Well if you have ever been so lucking to see one of the finest movies of our generation then you have seen Gummo. How would one describe the movie? He would first say what the hell was the plot of that, or i would like the last two hours of there life back. But no matter what u have been scared for life, The Visual's are etch in your brain forever. SInce im a luckey owner of such a great film, i have watch mulitpy time and have showed it to many people from Friends to Family.Well with a great movie there always a great soundtrack to really get the point cross, not only is the movie weird and scary so is the soundtrack.He a little review i Found while searching the web.An all-star cornucopia of spinegringing, migraine inducing bands compose the lineup of this brutal, gutsy soundtrack to the independent flick, Gummo, directed by Harmony Korine, who worked on that much heralded 1995 flick, Kids. The entire soundtrack is grating and fierce. It opens with a sinister Absu cut and is followed by the mayhem of Eyehategod’s “Serving Time In The Middle Of Nowhere.” I can do without the Electric Hellfire Club’s satanically tinged cut because it messes with the ironically coherent axe-wielding series. Without it, the harrowing, brasslunged Spazz “Gummo Love Theme” would follow Eyehategod and send listeners into angry convulsions. The raw chaotic noisecore of the German outfit Bethelehem is gnawing and violent. Soul severing tracks by Bathony, Mortician, and Mystifier are also included for your deafening pleasure. An ambient, techno-inspired tune by Dark Noerd is tossed into the mix, as is a catchy and slower Sleep tune. The Gummo soundtrack is an exercise in discordant comfort. The colossal conglomeration of bands whose specialty is sadomasochistic sonic torture is reserved for the strong of mind and heart.
