         It's what you might call a mixed bag, in fact it'd be hard for it 
to be more mixed. There's two quite good real B#C songs, albeit the lyrics 
are by John Shirley so immensely repetitive, then some ten other songs by
mostly-deservedly unknown bands who could have been played on the 
fictional local radio station at which the film to which this album is the 
soundtrack is set (phew, grammar, sorry). A couple of these are fun, none 
are what I'd call good. Then the last twenty minutes or so is Tangerine 
Dream-style incidental electronica, which is by Buck but you'd never know 
that to hear it. So, buyer beware, I'd say. Yours,
                                                    Jon
