Granted, granted, This Time Tomorrow and Strangers are fantastic songs desperately thirsting for greater attention, probably two of the best you've never heard. However, all of the Kinks songs on this soundtrack are from Lola vs. the Powerman, The Kinks most famous (not saying much) album. That album is a moving experience in itself and a better purchase than this album. In fact, go buy the old Kinks catalogue (at least Arthur, Village Green, and Face) if you're turned on by this stuff. Wes has great taste, but this is somehow lazy in selection (for the love of Pete, Tea plays an enormous role in the the movie and the Kinks classic, 'Have a cuppa tea' is not used because it's on a different album). At least take this as an opportunity to be guided to one of the great albums of all time. Great music, but you can get it in a better form.
