What do Paris Hilton, Sarah Brightman, Clown from Slipknot - Paul Sorvino, Steven Perkins and Bill Mosley have in common?
REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman
Produced by Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate
Written by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich
Starring Paul Sorvino, Alexa Vega, Paris Hilton, Anthony Head, Bill Mosely, Ogre, Terrance Zdunich and Sarah Brightman, (cameo by Joan Jett)
In the no-so-distant future, a worldwide epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GENECO, a biotech company that offers organ transplants...for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by THE REPO MAN. By fusing ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLADE RUNNER, this futuristic tale of horror modernizes the rock opera genre with original music and rich, dark production design.
This rock opera boasts an entirely original soundtrack that blends equal parts goth and punk rock to form an eerie and powerful musical narrative. All of the actors performed their own songs, and the music was provided by an all-star lineup that features performances from Richard Patrick (Filter), Steven Perkins (Jane's Addiction), Clown (Slipknot), Ray Luzier (Army of Anyone), Brian Young (David Lee Roth's band), Richard Fortus (Guns & Roses), Sonny Moore (First to Last), David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Daniel Ash (Love & Rockets), Blasko (Ozzy Osborne), Tommy Clefetus (Rob Zombie's band), Melora Creager (Rasputina). Also lending her voice to the soundtrack is the edgy pop star Poe. Japanese musician and composer Yoshiki Haysahi (of the legendary rock band X-Japan) co-produced the music with Joe Bishara to create one of the most diverse soundtracks in movie history.

I had my reservations about what to expect of Sarah Brightman doing something as "risque" as this but I'm thrilled with what the producers for this film and, of course, Sarah's done. It's very refreshing to see her in a different role. I saw a clip of "Chase the morning" ( which is easily the best track on the album) on Youtube and I'm quiet obsessed! The performances are polished and I think we have a cult hit in the making.

Awesome soundtrack with rockin bass guitar and drums on a lot of the tracks. The voices are strong and pure. The songs are just devilishly fun. Want to be a part of the next Musical Cult phenomenon? Buy this CD and go see THE MOVIE, fool!

I just had the opportunity to see the movie on the road tour in Seattle. Wow! I've been a fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show for years. Repo! is so much better. I will have these songs stuck in my head for days and that's not a bad thing. The soundtrack does not disappoint. If the movie is playing close to you, go see it, even if it's a little out of the way.

I am giving 3 stars to this CD Soundtrack because it just wasn't for me, personally. I had high hopes (I love ASH and Poe who does some backing vocals) but - I hated it. I've never really heard Industrial Rock before so maybe it's just not my thing. I like musicals, though, like the Buffy episode Once More with Feeling. So - YOU might LOVE this if you are already familiar with the genres of Opera and Industrial Rock and know what to expect. I obviously made a poor choice for myself.

This is an awesome soundtrack. To bad the movie is only shown in selected cities.
