AMAZON
In a movie all about contrast, a unifying element keeping the emotional content together is essential. That's achieved by a specific method of song placement. When we see Billy joyously losing himself to the rhythms of "Children of the Revolution", it is not just a snatch of music bridging scenes. The movie is a modern musical, and these songs have to speak literally (as well as emotionally), with lyrics that explain what no one is actually saying. A group of Marc Bolan's classics is therefore a stroke of genius as opposed to having new songs written. The other purposely placed songs from T-Rex include "Get It On", "I Love to Boogie", "Ride a White Swan" and "Cosmic Dancer", which is reprised at the album's end--the backwards guitar breakdown will haunt you for days. Remaining consistent, there are also three tracks from Paul Weller; one as The Jam ("Town Called Malice") and two reincarnated as The Style Council ("Shout to the Top" and "Walls Come Tumbling Down"). The only musical incongruity to the 1984 Miner's Strike setting is the inclusion of two contemporary hits: Stephen Gately's "I Believe" and Eagle-Eye Cherry's "Burning Up". Otherwise, get ready to "lose your blob"! --Paul Tonks
