It makes sense that when Tarantino was in the grips of his creative writing peak, this unusually attuned song selector would be at his best as well. Stringing together this unusual mix mainly contrasting R&B with Surf but certainly throwing in other classic genre nods as well, Pulp Fiction's distinct sequencing still stands out as one of the hippest soundtracks to emerge.
It's a safe bet that the Soundtrack to any Tarantino movie won't disappoint, and Pulp Fiction delivers. In addition to reviving the career of John Travolta, the movie resurrected many classic songs: Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie", Dusty Springfields, "Son of a Preacher" and the Statler Brothers, "Flowers on a Wall" were invigorated by the movie.
With classic lines from the movie spliced in ("In France, it's a Royale with Cheese") it brings back the best of the movie. Certainly a great CD for the car CD player when the movie's not available.
