The Saint (soundtrack)

The Saint: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 1997 movie The Saint.

The soundtrack features prominent musical artists from the late 1990s, including Duran Duran, Sneaker Pimps, Orbital, Moby, Fluke, Luscious Jackson, The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Daft Punk, David Bowie, Superior, Dreadzone, Duncan Sheik, and Everything but the Girl. The album also includes an updated version of the theme music from the 1960s television series.

"You're All I've Got Tonight," written by Ric Ocasek and performed by The Smashing Pumpkins, is part of the movie, but not included on the soundtrack album.

Critical reception

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised it for being "a surprisingly effective and useful collection of electronica, offering a good overview and introduction to many of the genre's biggest artists", despite a "few mediocre cuts" from Superior and Duran Duran, concluding that "on the whole, it's one of the few soundtracks that works better as an album than as a movie." David Browne of Entertainment Weekly called it a "consistent, multitextured collection", concluding that: "Even with melodramatic synthpop by Duncan Sheik and Duran Duran, The Saint Music From the Motion Picture Soundtrack is as moody and alluring as ol' Val himself."
