Stir of Echoes
Various Artists
Nettwerk

On every shelf there
is a CD that has never
been opened. This will
not be one of them. The
soundtrack to the
recently released Stir of
Echoes is sure to
please.

In the movie, Kevin
Bacon stars as Tom
Witzky, a blue collar
husband and father who
longs for his life to be
less ordinary. His young
son talks to ghosts, and

Tom assumes it’s imagi-
nary friends until he
reluctantly gets hypno-
tized at a party. After a
chilling vision during
hypnosis, Tom also sees
a ghost, but his “sixth
sense” isn’t as strong as
his son’s. As Tom learns
more about the power
and the ghost, the film
takes tight turns and
veers far from the path
set by other movies in
this genre.

Most of the music on
this CD has dark over-
tones (this is good,
because it is a dark

movie). The musical
scores are fairly short in
length but create an
intriguing blend of sus-
pense and foreboding.
The other songs on the
CD, though few in num-
ber are high in quality.
Some of the artists

‘include Moist, Wild

Strawberries and
Dishwalla. Also includ-
ed on this album is a
wonderful cover of The
Rolling Stones “Paint it
Black” by Gob. Both
Moist and Gob can be
seen at the Matthew
