This has to be the strangest "soundtrack" I've ever heard. After hitting it big on SCTV, the McKenzie brothers (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) made the transition to LP and then to the big screen in "Strange Brew," which was a take-off on "Hamlet" (!!). Despite Bob and Doug's claims that "this isn't our second album," it most certainly is. The album mainly features their comedic banter, along with the title song and a few excerpts from the score (but they're "those guys who talk over songs and wreck 'em"). It barely qualifies as a soundtrack, but it is an essential companion piece for fans of the film. It's really a shame that this one hasn't gotten a CD release. I've owned this album for over 20 years (as you can see in my new banner above), but I have to give credit for the rips and scans to Check the Cool Wax. This rip would doubtlessly be better than one of my own... Make sure to check out the scans of the sleeve in the rar!
