Combustible Edison - Four Rooms


This is the music from the 1995 anthology film Four Rooms. Four different writers/directors each worked on their own segment of the film. The writers and directors of the segments:

Allison Anders (segment "The Missing Ingredient")
Alexandre Rockwell (segment "The Wrong Man")
Robert Rodriguez (segment "The Misbehavers")
Quentin Tarantino (segment "The Man from Hollywood")

This is a rare comedic Tim Roth role, which is kind of a shame because he's quite hilarious here. The film itself is uneven (to be expected with any anthology), but Tim remains entertaining throughout. One problem I have with Four Rooms, it commits one of the worst anthology film sins, putting the least interesting (although nudity filled) segment at the very beginning of the movie. If your audience isn't patient you're most likely going to lose them right away.

The music is credited to a group who called themselves Combustible Edison. The last thing they released was way back in 1998, so I'd have to assume they have stopped making music as Combustible Edison.

Thanks for this one.Loved the movie and the music was seeming impossible to find.

The comment on Werewolf by Night,do you use utorrent for demonoid downloads? If you do,you can choose to only get the files you need.

Phelpster, you are the best. First, you introduce me to the Leanna Quigly Horror Workout, then lead me over to Kindertrauma to see the one thing i thought I'd never see again (F'ing bunyip song still gave me chills) and now you've gone and posted the one soundtrack I came out of the theater looking for and couldn't find.
Kudos, praise, and adoration!
