Those expecting a CD of the sumptuous slo-mo score RZA contributed to Jim Jarmusch's ghetto Samurai flick may be disappointed. But this soundtrack more than makes up for the loss with a vainglorious collection of themed Wu tracks, close in feel to 1998's Wu Tang Killer Bees compilation. Sunz Of Man's chugging "Strange Eyes" kicks things off with a spooky blues jam. The film's star, Forest Whitaker, slips into character effortlessly on the intro to North Star's mantra … mehrlike "4 Shoe X2". With it's needle-jump rhythm, Kool G Rap's duet with RZA, "Cakes", also has the latters' musical fingerprints all over it. Tekitha's "Walking Through Darkness" is faultless, a sumptuous soul manoeuvre with dub production. Wu Tang Clan's bonus closing cut "Fast Shadow" is simply out of control. Meth gallops through rhymes like the Italian Stallion while ODB comes on with Tourette's screaming random obscenities into the studio mic. The Syndicate has spoken.--Chris Campion weniger
