     This epic-goth compilation probably would have 
been forgotten had it not been for track 2.
     It's a cover of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren" by 
the Cocteau Twins.
     David Lynch fans might remember hearing it in 
"Lost Highway (1997)." 
     But scores of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" fans are 
now trying to track it down.
     The Enya-like melody is the tune at the top of the 
trailer for the "TCM" remake. 
     When they either downloaded it off the Internet, or 
paid $8 bucks to suffer through "Bad Boys II" to see the 
trailer, the tune made many raise an eyebrow.
     It's not something you'd expect to hear at the start 
of the commercial for the "TCM" remake. 
     Honestly, I expected to hear more buzzsaws and 
slamming metal doors. 
     It was, however, a pleasant surprise.
     Robin Guthrie's guitar gives sound to the sunbeams 
embracing the opening shots. Elizabeth Fraser's vocals 
are haunting echoes which encourage memories, 
whether they're the times we spent riding around with 
our friends in our younger days, or the first time we 
met the doomed kids from the original "TCM" back in 
the day.  
     My brother identified the track after doing some 
research and we found a copy of the CD at a Borders. 
It's also available on Amazon.com.
     I laughed when I first heard the title of the CD.
     "It'll end in tears," is something one of the 
characters from "The Return of The Texas Chainsaw 
Massacre  (1997)" mumbled. I think it was Joe Stevens 
who played "W.E."
     The other 11 tracks on the CD aren't impression 
makers.
     There's an occasional pop song, like "Not Me," an 
upbeat track with vocals by Robbie Grey and Guthrie 
on guitar.
     Most, however, are long instrumentals you can 
meditate to, like tracks 8 and 9, "Waves Become 
Wings" and "Barramundi" by Lisa Gerrard of Dead 
Can Dance.
     But they're no where near as good as "Song to the 
Siren." 
     Nine out of 10, if you buy this CD, you're only 
doing it for track 2.
     I'm sure it won't appear on the soundtrack New 
Line churns out for the "Chainsaw" remake.
     I never had faith in this remake project. It just 
sounded impossible.
     But if it's as good as the song, it will indeed be a 
blessing.
