Yeah, The Minx soundtrack is also on Sundazed, with bonus tracks. It's a
very good soundtrack, and has an interesting story. According to the band,
they were under the impression that they'd been consigned to do a two-minute
segement in a detective movie, only to be unwittingly sucked in (pun
intended) to writing the soundtrack for a porn film! In the end it didn't
work out too badly for them as it gave them the kind of credibility they
previously hadn't been able to achieve, as their lightweight hits had kept
them from getting much critical respect...which was really a shame, as their
albums have tons of good tracks. Of course, any credibility one achieves
from doing a soundtrack to a porn flick does remain questionable, hip as it
may be. :-)
The Minx soundtrack is extremely rare in its original LP form, and had
commanded triple figures on eBay. Perhaps it still does, but I haven't
checked lately as the CD is plenty good enough for me!
