An influential TV series of the '90s has generated a dark, eerie, and vaguely
campy set of "inspired-by" songs from a diverse group of musical fans. Pride of place
here goes to three tracks: the Foo Fighters' delicious cover of Gary Numan's "Down In
The Park," a filthy remake of R.E.M.'s "Star Me Kitten" by literary lion William
Burroughs, and a titanic, cross-generational collision between Rob Zombie and Alice
Cooper on "Hands of Death (Burn Baby Burn)." Sheryl Crow's "On The Outside" is a toss
-off in this company, while Mark Snow's famous X-Files theme loses its creepy edge in
both extended and P.M. Dawn-remixed incarnations. --Jeff Bateman
The CD contains a hidden track by "Nick Cave And The Dirty Three" before track 1. To
