   The Moroder soundtrack is, erh... "interesting". Most of the songs are   
   forgettable, and already feel dated.   
      
   There are 2 or 3 songs I did like about it, however.   
      
   I really like "Cage of Freedom" by Jon Anderson. There's also a nice   
   intrumental that I liked, and an interesting one called "Blood From a   
   Stone"... Just my 2 eurocents. :-)
