Four Rooms (soundtrack)

Four Rooms (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is a soundtrack by Combustible Edison for Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino's anthology film of the same name.

Development

The score for Four Rooms (1995) was composed and performed by contemporary lounge music band Combustible Edison, with additional music by Juan García Esquivel and Mark Mothersbaugh. The recording of Combustible Edison's second studio album Schizophonic! (1996) was delayed by more than a year in order for them to work on the Four Rooms soundtrack.

Academy Awards disqualification
