The soundtrack to
Quentin Tarantino's darkly funny crime classic
Pulp Fiction manages to recreate the film's wildly careening sense of style, violence, and humor by concentrating on the surf music that comprises the bulk of the movie's incidental music and adding a few sexy oldies integral to the film's story ("Let's Stay Together," "Son of a Preacher Man," "You Never Can Tell"). Of course, the inclusion of dialogue and
Urge Overkill's seductive cover of
Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" don't hurt either. [The two-CD collector's edition adds a second disc consisting of an interview with Quentin Tarantino and appends four more songs to the original soundtrack: "Since I First Met You" by the
Robins, "Rumble" by
Link Wray, "Strawberry Letter #23" by
Brothers Johnson, and "Out of Limit" by the
Marketts.]
