| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Producers: John Kirkpatrick, Peter Afterman. | | Now that millions of computer nerds everywhere have gotten their wish to see ultra-hip adventurer Lara Croft make the leap from video game to silver screen, music fans luck out with a soundtrack pumped up by an engaging mix of electronica, hip-hop, and modern rock. With U2 (an over-the-top remix of "Elevation") and Nine Inch Nails (the sturm and drang "Deep") representing the rock lobby, the rest of TOMB RAIDER is filled with various kinds of electro-pop. Among the legendary names making an appearance are The Chemical Brothers (the Big Beat funkfest "Galaxy Bounce," Fatboy Slim (teaming with Bootsy Collins on the screaming psychedelia of "Illuminati," and Leftfield (reprising their ambient classic "Song of Life." | | Even the hip-hop included on this collection runs more towards the unorthodox side. Which is why you find Missy Elliott collaborating with Nelly Furtado on a naughty-sounding remix of Missy's "Get Ur Freak On," and Outkast riding a hyper-funk tempo throughout the urgent "Speedballin'." Elsewhere, Bosco makes like Daft Punk on the vocoder/acid house workout "Satellite," and Groove Armada makes sublime magic with the chill-out trip-hop of "Edge Hill." TOMB RAIDER makes for an adventure that will have you going no further than your stereo. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (7/5/01, p.145)
- 3 out of 5 stars - "...Like many militarist free-for-alls...this soundtrack is frontloaded: A techno-fied remix of U2's 'Elevation' sounds better kicking off this album than on ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND..."Spin (8/01, p.132)
- 8 out of 10 - "...Fast, accessible, off-the-cuff....There's also a sense of both past and present that's rare in a soundtrack....this is a case-closed tribute to the tune as 'toon." Entertainment Weekly (6/8/01, p.75)
- "...Manages to transcend the facelessness that is the curse of so much electronic dance music, stamping their songs with distinctive sonic flourishes and left-field hooks..." - Rating: B Q (8/01, p.145)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "...Ideal for the skateboarding Lara Croft fan in your life..." Uncut (8/01, p.116)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "...The trash-bang wallop music complements the barrage of collisions between hunks of twisted metal, and is drawn from the currently fashionable mainstream..." CMJ (8/01, p.83)
- "...Glamorous and menacing; just like the computer-generated femme fatale herself..." |
