B-MOVIE ARCHIVES
(2009)
320 KBPS

Released in France only, at least to my knowledge, B-Movie Archives is a 8 CDs box full of surprises from the Warner catalogue. The only thing in common with all these songs and themes is that they've been used for various B to Z movies which is as thin a concept as can be but, nevertheless, gives the listener quite a handful of terrific little tunes which could very well have been used on a Tarantino soundtrack.
Except for the 5th disk, almost entirely devoted to the works of Claudio Simonetti and his band Goblin, it's a feast of styles and sounds. From country to surf music, from soul to plain old rock'n'roll. Here's a musical rollercoaster which will surely put a smile on your face and will leave you hungry for more even after 8 disks and 119 tunes lasting a little over 6 and a half hours.
