Hope this helps
That soundtrack sucks. Why did they choose those songs out of all that were featured on the show? I can't even remember when most of those listed above were featured. Many other songs were both 1) better and 2) more memorable for the way they were used on the show (for me at least). Why is the soundtrack so britpop heavy, while Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, Radiohead are missing? their music (Portishead in particular) was the most prominent and memorable on the show, I can't believe they aren't included!
IMO these definitely had to be on the soundtrack:
Portishead - one or two of these: Mysterons, It Could Be Sweet, Roads, Glory Box
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees or Street Spirit (Fade Away)
Texas - Insane (the use of this song in the episode 'The Secret of My Excess" was especially memorable)
Foo Fighters - Walking After You (used in a memorable way in one of the last episodes)
Tricky - Overcome or Hell Is Round The Corner
Smashing Pumpkins - Galapogos
better sorry than safe
Is there a definitive guide to every song featured?
I'm trying to find out if they used a song by the band Jack - called 'Filthy names' from the 'Pioneer Soundtrcks' Album.

I remember them playing the first Placebo album a lot. Maybe that was in the second series.
shareIvana i noticed you're message and thought you might know the answer to my question seeing as you know your music I know it's been a while since this life was last on tele, but I was wanting to find out the track name and artist which was played in background of the first episode of the second series its about 10 minutes in, when egg is binning bottles from a previous night's party and marty freeman from the office steels money out of eggs room. The only way a can describe it, soft calm track. Kind of a Massive attack/tricky feel to it with a female vocalist. I havent heard it since. Do you know this? Cheers Darren
shareSorry for the belated reply, I didn't check this board for ages and only noticed your message today. I had to check my old This Life tapes. If you mean the scene where he talks to Egg and the scene where he steals the money, the song is "6 Underground" by Sneaker Pimps. If you mean the scene where Egg finds out he nicked the money, it's another song by Sneaker Pimps, "Walking Zero". They're on the same album, "Becoming X".
Cheers,
Ivana
some more:
during the party at the end of season 1 i heard
one love - the prodigy
sorted for es and wizz - pulp
also heard towards the end of the first series
3 - massive attack (whilst miles and milly are hanging out in their room at one point)
i must have had a prolific music spending spree during the mid 90s because nearly all the music that has been played in the house i own, heh. there's more i recognised, some are listed above and others i cant remember right now, currently watching the bbc repeats so will try to name any new ones i hear
is there anywhere u can get the soundtrack now?
