Album Description

Debut from 1998 for Swedish rock outfit includes 20 tracks of dark, dramatic rock 'n' roll echoing the majesty and ambitions of classic albums past. Their sound recalls everyone from The Doors to Pink Floyd to Led Zeppelin, however avoiding the pitfall of nostalgia.

Album Details

The Debut Album from 1997 from the Swedish Musicians that Came from the Remnants of the Union Carbide Productions. Their Sound and Style Draws Heavily from Rock and Progressive Bands of the 1960's and 70's. You Really Can't Call them Retro, but They have Cunningly Utilized These Sounds to an Entirely Different Effect. They Could have Fit Right in Alongside Many of the Prog Bands of the Past, but Theirs is Quite a Distinctly Different Sound Altogether....and Very Invigorating and Addicting at That!

the bong water blues.......2006-10-28

This was purchased on the strength of the rolling credits at the end of the 2002 movie "Spun". A Jonas Akerlund film about a traveling meth lab cooker (Mickey Rourke) and the users (Brittany Murphy) who follow his every movement (which would explain the film scores need for the song "Instant Repeater 99"). Aside from that The Soundtrack Of Our Lives' (or TSOOL for the loyalist) 1998 release "Welcome To The Infant Freebase" really didn't capture the mood of the film itself (just in case you thought it would), although the anthematic "99" is certainly worth several repeat performances.

I'm not saying the band was mis-cast by Akerlund, but you get an extreme sense of who their hero's really are on this outing ie; that late 60's pharmaceutical jazz cafe sound of Yes or the acid induced improv of early 70's Pink Floyd. The Peter Gabriel era of Genesis is also an obvious influence on the band and perhaps explains the fairy tale art rock quality you're hearing on this CD. Hardly bikers falling over themselves in a methamphetamine rage, more like hippie wannabe's tip toeing over spilt bong water.

A fantasic rock album!.......2004-11-11

This is a awsome album from start to finish, okay all the songs are not masterpieaces but many of em are and there is enuf great music here to make it a must have album from Swedens best rock band ever.
If you like old classic rock music, like Pink Floyd, The WHO, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and ather great bands, and whant somting new but with the same greatnes that this old bands hade this album is for you.
Its sound like a mix betwen thos classic rock bands but on the same time it sounds new fresh and original.

A must have for any music lover.

Not the place to start for potential fans.......2004-01-24

"Welcome to the Infant Freebase" is a far more acquired taste of music than is the gloriously brilliant "Behind the Music", and I would not reccomend this to be the first Soundtrack of Our Lives album you pick up. The songs here are long and drawn out, although not boring in the least. This type of rock could be called pretentious, and to a certain point, it is, but I also see it as being a bold debut from one of Sweden's premier bands. There is alot of experimentation here, and the influence of Pink Floyd is very apparent. The result is a trancier, trippier album than the later efforts from this band.

This is a very good album, but for potential fans of this great band, I would recommed you pick up "Behind the Music" first, and after you fall in love with that album, then give this one a try, because your mind will be more succeptible to the grand ideas of TSOOL.

It's good, but............2003-08-22

its way too long! I dont get this fascination of producing an album thats more than 40 minutes long. I mean, 50 is pushing it..... but 70....no...that is way too long, specially for what they are doing, I wish I could pick out a favorite song, but I just cant cause eventaully it just sounds that same after 50 minutes......

Sad that they not only make this mistake on this album but on all of their albums as well.

Though if you are to buy any of their albums I recommend this one, its my favorite. And to the band members of Soundtrack of our Lives.....you are good, but please, dont make your cds so long..... try for 45-55 minutes for the next album, come on, I know you can do it, just give it a try!

Solid debut from Swedish band.......2003-05-22

No, they're not the saviors of rock'n'roll but they write amazing riffs that echo the past without repeating it. A bit of history for those who harshly comdemn this fine album; The Beatles and The Stones first couple of albums borrowed left and right from their American predecessors. They managed to beg, steal and borrow what worked for others and eventually create a new sound all their own. The same is true of this Swedish offshoot of Union Carbide Productions.

Although not as focused (or as well written) as either Behind The Music nor the under rated Extended Relevation, Welcome To The Infant Freebase acknowledges the past and moves forward. That's nothing new. Bands like REM, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, The Stone Roses, Echo and The Bunnymen and Roxy Music have done the same. Here the band's influences are more blatant but later albums manage to incorporate those influences into a unique, sandblasting style.

Infact Freebase runs on a bit too long and has too many ordinary songs mixed in with the band's much richer, denser material. That's O.K. Debut albums aren't meant to be flawless but to give us a taste of what an artist is capable of creating. Infant Freebase does just that. I'd probably start with Behind The Music and, if you like it, work backward album by album.

A lotta hype and a little ho-hum.......2003-03-30

Welcome to the Modern Hype Machine, more like. If you haven't been paying attention, the Soundtrack of Our Lives is currently getting lumped in as one of those "saviors of rock & roll". Reviewers extol their penchant for ripping off every rock band that came before them like it was a virtue. I might've even concurred, if the results were even slightly more interesting than this tepid collection of jams in search of songs. You'll hear a little Stones - okay, a LOT of the Stones - in the "Exile On Main Street"-style riffs, but you'll hear none of the implied danger and sex that made the Stones great. The rockers somehow bleed into the ballads without changing tempo or energy. Seriously, with the exception of "Blow My Cool" (which stands out because it blatantly steals its background vocals from "Let's Spend the Night Together"), I still can't tell one song from the other. Not bad enough to offend, not good enough to inspire, The Soundtrack of Our Lives occupy a nonthreatening middleground where they merely suggest the greatness of past rockers. And for me, that ain't nowhere.

Modern Psychedelic Classic!.......2002-02-28

Soundtrack of Our Lives is the next best rock group that Sweden have ever produced(Union Carbide Productions i of course the best). This album is their incredible debut that was released in 96 to a largely indifferent world(exept in Sweden) Their influences ranges from Stooges, Love, early Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones and every other good rock group in history. Why not five stars? Well it is a bit to long(about 70 minutes) and some songs are a bit unfocused.

4. MFP Chunks -- Luke Vibert/ MFP
5. Pound your Ironing Board - Slang/ MFP
6. Freebass - Funki Porcini/ MFP
7. Freebassix - Perry De Chico/ MFP

Yes, they are remixes, but many are so different its like having a bunch of songs. Note that LUke Vibert, Funki Porcini and Aphex Twin guest. What does it sound like? Think Mantovani or Ray Conniff for the techno/ ambient/ drum&bass era.

this cd costs less than the s&h..........2001-01-03

but if you're buying something, and have a few bucks more to spend, go ahead and buy this cd. it features virtually unknown songs, it seems. (or maybe just previously unknown to me) i find it kind of odd that it says it's by 'various artists', yet lists none... (or maybe that's just my computer being difficult) but if you have the extra cash, go ahead and buy it, a little extra music never hurt anyone.
