Album Notes
Original score composed by Billy Corgan and Mike Garson.
The STIGMATA soundtrack is a collection of seven songs by contemporary pop stars and over 40 minutes of instrumental music written by pianist Mike Garson and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. Though Corgan receives most of the writing credits on the album, STIGMATA's strongest tracks are those that the pair wrote together.
The first seven tracks include contributions from Chumbawamba, Remy Zero, David Bowie, and others. The two standout tracks in the group are Bjork's "All is Full of Love," and Massive Attack's "Inertia Creeps." The former is a particularly dramatic soundscape. Carson and Corgan wrote the music and lyrics for Natalie Imbruglia's "Identify," a song whose loose, acoustic-guitar-driven melody line and anthemic chorus make it seem a bit anomalous among the less structured offerings. The "distrbnce (after sckhausen)"/"reflect (pause)"/"orah" triptych is the strongest stretch of instrumental music that Corgan and Garson put forth. The captivating STIGMATA is recommended headphone fare.
Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...the STIGMATA soundtrack adds up to a fascinating, fractured fairy tale that can be taken on its own terms.
Rolling Stone (09/30/1999)
...plays well apat from the film....The musical vibe runs from impressionistic to crunchy and back, a moodscape now playing on a stereo near you. - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (09/10/1999)
3 stars out of 5 - ...The first half is 6 brought-in tracks: Remy Zero, Bjork and Massive Attack are outstanding....The second half is the meat, being a 25-part 30 minute original score by Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan....Well executed...
