Review of the Decade - Film (Soundtracks)

With the help of Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino the soundtrack reached new heights and brilliance in the nineties, becoming a genre all its own – either by rediscovering forgotten classics or finding artists which personified the characters and tones of the film. The noughties was no different, with some off the wall exceptions, and the odd soundtrack which was an album all its own.
