Belgian electro-rock band Soulwax release the soundtrack Belgica through Play It Again Sam. For the album, Soulwax created fictional bands to compose each track in line with the film's narrative...

Soulwax's soundtrack for Belgica represents a wonderful diverse collection of tracks. Not only is this an album of wildly differing styles and genres, but Soulwax rather cleverly came up with fake band names for each track in order to give it a more authentic feel - also employing different artists to perform.

The album contains 16 tracks (59 min) ranging from the pop opening of Charlotte's ' The Best Thing' to the techno dance track Noah's Dark's 'Inward' closer.

The end result is an enjoyable "various artists" album that demands to be played loud.
