Awesome CD, been looking for this for a very long time. It is the soundtrack that goes with the movie; Basquiat is a 1996 biopic/drama film directed by fellow painter Julian Schnabel which is based on the life of American postmodernist/neo expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat, born in Brooklyn, used his graffiti roots as a foundation to create collage-style paintings on canvas.
Lots of good songs, nice variety( not many times can you find P.I.L. And Tom Waits on the same disc!)
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I love the variety of music on this CD!! It has everyone from Van Morrison to PJ Harvey on it, even a number by Basquiat! If you like music that goes against the grain, this CD is for you!
I have been looking for this soundtrack forever. Most of the songs cannot be found on the internet, so I was very pleased to get this Basquiat Original Soundtrack cd in great condition.
Awesome soundtrack. Evokes the feeling, triumphs and tragedy of Basquiat's life. Great music in and of itself.
