GOTG: Check Out the Tracklist For "Awesome Mix Volume Zero"
Yes, James Gunn has compiled an alternate Awesome Mix soundtrack to Guardians Of The Galaxy featuring much more contemporary tracks than the tunes from the 70s/80s we all fell in love with on the original. Take a look at the tracklist and an explanation from Gunn after the jump.
As Guardians Of The Galaxy gears up for its Blu-ray/DVD release, director James Gunn has shared an alternate soundtrack to the film which he's dubbed "Awesome Mix Volume Zero". These songs are much more high energy and definitely a little more obscure than most of the classics from Volume 1, but there's a few great tunes in there. Take a look, see which ones you recognize and if there's any you don't, get listening!
1. Never Wanted to Dance - Mindless Self Indulgence
2. Party Hard - Andrew W.K.
3. The Way It Was - Aceyalone (feat Bionik)
4. I Like It, I Love It - Lyrics Born
5. Let's Dance to Joy Division - The Wombats
6. Start Wearing Purple - Gogol Bordello
7. Ben Vereen - Pigeon John
8. Teenagers - My Chemical Romance
9. Black Fist - Juskwam and Lyrikill
10. Timebomb - The Old 97's
Here's what Gunn had to say about this new compilation:
On lighter days, our master soundman Simon Hayes would also play music on set between takes to keep people's energy up. He did this while shooting the credit sequence in the Temple of Morag, and he also did it for the Boot of Jemiah, so we could keep the extras hyped and alive and feeling like they were in a bar atmosphere. Being that these were night shoots, it helped to keep people awake as well! Simon took requests for the credit scene, but for the Boot of Jemiah he asked me to put together an AWESOME playlist of high energy party tunes. So I did, featuring some of my favorite tunes.
