Flip Skateboards' Extremely Sorry Soundtrack
Baron & Guests
1.5/5
Let's get straight to the point here and say this album doesn't really need to exist. It's a soundtrack which was specially produced for a skateboarding DVD.
Produced by some guy called Baron, most of the tracks here are clear attempts at epic incidental music, which probably works when watching some 'dude' on a wheeled piece of wood jump a burning horse or something equally proposterous, but as pure audio, this just gets tiresome. However, there are one or two gems here, when his special guests turn up. The first being a surreally moving cover of 'Stand By Me' by none other than Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead and Dave Lombardo of Slayer. Don't let that throw you though if that isn't your thing as it doesn't sound at all heavy. The other hidden treat however, is the heaviest number. 'The Process Of Extinction', can only help to put the band Early Man on the map.
It's hard to imagine anyone being desperate to listen to these tracks, but if you are, don't buy the CD. Download the inevitable 'Stand By Me' single and buy the DVD. At least then, you'll be treated to skateboarder's breaking their ribs.
