Subject:: "Mortal Kombat" soundtrack

I was in a local music shop today, and they were playing some incredible stuff... I asked what they were playing and was surprised when they told me it was the "Mortal Kombat" soundtrack. I only heard about a third of it, but I heard a Juno Reactor remix of a track I hadn't heard of, and Orbital's Halcyon+On+On. I don't remember the rest of the tracklisting, though... but it's definitely worth at least a listen. Even the cheesy Mortal Kombat theme song was less cheesy than you'd expect.

According to the credits it was either made or mixed by Utah Saints. While they aren't IDM, it could've been far worse. Of course the movie is pretty bad if you're looking for anything but bad martial-arts and cool computer graphics effects :-) Later, -H-

I seem to recall hearing that KMFDM had made the cut, and possibly Seal (but he's been on so many soundtracks recently it's hard to keep up!). If someone can provide a track list, I may pick it up at lunch and give it a quick review...
