Back in the ’90s, there was almost a Star Wars compilation album with The Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack on it. Almost.
Think back, if you can, to 1995, when LucasArts released a first-person shooter called Star Wars: Dark Forces. (Yeah, we know: ’95 is the videogame equivalent of the Bronze Age.) An enterprising Lucasfilm Licensing staffer named Lucy Autrey Wilson thought it’d be neat to do a line of original Star Wars soundtrack CDs. It didn’t happen but, according to her, Virgin’s A&R guys put together an imagined soundtrack to that game. Here’s what would’ve been on it:
Massive Attack, “Weather Storm”
The Chemical Brothers, “Leave Home”
The Chemical Brothers, “Chemical Beats”
The Chemical Brothers, “F**k Up Beats”
