 Cool World Soundtrack January 4, 2009
Sheila (Olympia, WA)
I really enjoy this album. It has a lot of techno and hard rock songs. I dont know if people realize, that this is the background music, when they are watching the movie. I was able to picture the scenes in my mind as the different songs came on which I thought was good. Most of time you can not figure out what song was playing where. I am very happy with the album. It is upbeat and fast paced all the way through.

Where the hell did that come in? Does this have something to do with copyrights? Oh, and the soundtrack sounds 90s as hell. And that's a good thing.
Ralph Bakshi's Cool World Rare Clips RalphBakshi.com November 6, 2008
Jeramy Bray (Oregon USA)
This film was amazing, and the soundtrack innovative for the time of the film's release.
David Bowie penned the title-ish track "Real Cool World". Which is both, out of touch with the film, and also soothing and a nice juxtaposition to the insanity held within the film.

You can usually find this album for fairly little money, and it's well worth the purchase. I've never actually seen the film itself, but it does not have a good reputation, even as a cult film. Not so for this soundtrack, which plays a lot like somebody's personal mix tape of favorite songs. This is unusual, since I've noticed that a lot of soundtracks feature one or two good songs combined with a track list full of discarded songs from bands on the label's roster.
But not this one. Whoever compiled this for the film was really savvy, because there isn't much filler here at all. Some of the tracks are very radio friendly, like Electronic's "Disappointed" and Thrill Kill Kult's "Sex On Wheelz", which surpassed even Bowie's custom-composed title track and wound up being the music used to promote the film in trailers and TV spots. TKK kollectors should get this because they're on here twice, the second track being an otherwise unreleased track called "Her Sassy Kiss".
There are some interesting club cuts on here too, like Moby's "Next Is The E" and the rave classic "Papau New Guinea" by The Future Sound of London. One of the biggest surprises is the contribution from Thompson Twins, "Play With Me", which is a very solid club track. Twins member Tom Bailey also adds an atmospheric instrumental track called "Industry and Seduction", the only time he ever released a solo effort as such.
Even the tracks by artists that you might not recognize (like Pure's "Greedy", which doesn't even appear in the film) are worth a listen. Highly recommended!
