The soundtrack to
Quentin Tarantino's darkly funny crime classic Pulp Fiction manages to re-create the film's wildly careening sense of style, violence, and humor by concentrating on the surf music that comprises the bulk of the movie's incidental music and adding a few sexy oldies integral to the film's story ("Let's Stay Together," "Son of a Preacher Man," "You Never Can Tell"). Of course, the inclusion of dialogue and
Urge Overkill's seductive cover of
Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" doesn't hurt either. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
