I dont know about you, but what can really make a movie, to me, is it's soundtrack. And what makes a soundtrack worth buying, is its ability to make you feel like you're watching the movie again. Thankfully this is no exception.
The soundtrack begins with 'Misirlou', the classic Pulp Fiction track. I even have it as a ringtone... The album starts as the film does- belting. We then travel through the movie; the Royale with cheese, the boogie-ing, the drugs, the guns, reaching the climatic 'Ezekiel 25:17' by Mr Cool himself- Samuel L Jackson.
It's difficult to review a soundtrack so closely in time with the film, without starting to review the film. Lets put it this way- the film couldn't be without this soundtrack. It's funky, you'll feel EXTREMELY cool listening to it driving to work, and according to 'the parents' it completely echoes the 70's. They would know, trust me.
I have yet to criticise Quentin Tarantino's musical choices. Kill Bill is a prime example of someone who's knowledge of music is almost as developed as his knowledge of films.
If you've never seen the film, fear not. If you like the soundtrack- give the movie a try. The Pulp Fiction soundtrack stands on its own from the film as a very good compilation album, but has the ability to take those fans of the film right back into that diner.

have this album myself, but the bonus version which also includes Link Wray's "Rumble" and The Markett's "Out of Limits"- great tunes!

Tarantino's 1994 smash, and although that sound runs throughout the soundtrack (along with bits and pieces of dialogue from the movie), this is a pretty eclectic bunch...
