If the song titles haven't already giving this away this album was the original
soundtrack to William Gibson's "Johnny Mnemonic". For reasons unclear to me this
excellent rendition of the mood evoked by the film was replaced with a less than
appealing soundtrack that you heard if you saw the film. The majority of the
album consists of various sound collages and ambient interpretations of the
film. A few tracks have a grittier edge to them, almost industrial rock with
guitars and a grinding bassline which seem to focus on several of the fight
scenes that appear in the screenplay. Regardless of whither or not you enjoyed
"Johnny Mnemonic" I suggest you pick up this soundtrack. The music does a much
better job of backing up the film than the actual soundtrack does.
