Bad Taste's OST provides the soundtrack to the documentary that studies contemporary music in Iceland. Ari Alexander Ergis Magnusson's 2005 film Screaming Masterpiece documents Iceland's thriving music scene, from its elemental origins in the country's rich natural and literary history to the internationally recognized names like Bjork and Sigur Ros. Both artists are featured prominently on the film's soundtrack, Bjork with "Oceania" from Medulla and a pretty live version of "All Is Full of Love" and Sigur Ros with "No. 8, aka Popplagio." (There's also a younger, more hyper Bjork featured on the Sugarcubes classic "Motorcrash.") There are tracks from Icelandic indie notables like Mum (the always captivating "Green Grass of Tunnel") and Slowblow ("Within Tolerance"), but Screaming Masterpiece also features work from Johann Johannson (the tense violins and treated vocals of "Odi et Amo"), Mugison ("I'd Ask," a dusty, folky number sung in English), and Amina ("Fjarskanistan"), the string quartet that has worked with Sigur Ros in the past. At the center of Screaming Masterpiece is Apparat Organ Quartet with the Kraftwerk-ian workout "Romantica," as well as "Brostnar Borgir" from striking Faroese vocalist Eivor Palsdottir, which alternates stretches of haunting balladry with clanging, stinging metal. Take that, Evanescence. ~ Johnny Loftus
