I've been listening to La Yellow 357 (self-proclaimed "original soundtrack
music with repetitive beats") a lot. I really like the songs that sound like
soundtrack music (i.e. "Bande announce" constructed by Dimitri (I really dig
this song because I've been watching a lot of Pam Grier movies lately and
the gunshots and screams of the song remind me of the movies), "The Chase" by
Magnetic, "Return at bates motel" by Dj Cam & Smooth. I also like
"L'inquietude" by Fresh Lab, but it doesn't sound like soundtrack music.
The tunes by Mighty Bop are too repetitive for me. (Is this a real movie?
If yes, anybody know anything about it.)

I got Source Lab, but there's nothing on there that *I* really like except for
Air's Modulator Mix. Maybe, I need to listen to it some more. Finally got
Wagon Christ; my kind of music. I'm quite disapointed with Cool Breeze's
Assimilation album; I did not realize that the vocalists for the single
"Can't Deal With This" is only on one song; this is a major bummer. The rest
of the album is good, but not spectacular. Has anyone heard Ryuichi
Sakamoto's "Smoochy" yet; any good?

After listening to Dead Pres. soundtrack over and over, I had to get the
original albums with those Isaac Hayes' songs on them. I got Hot Buttered
Soul with "Walk on By" on it and ...To Be Continued with "The Look of Love"
on it (the ultimate Isaac Hayes' song so far.) Can anyone recommend any more
Isaac Hayes' albums that are a "must"? And if anyone can recommend the must
haves for Barry White that would be great too?
