Reservoir Dogs (180g LP)

Soundtrack from the 1992 American crime thriller that depicts the events before and after a botched diamond heist. The film was the feature-length debut of writer and director Quentin Tarantino, and stars Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, Chris Penn, Lawrence Tierney and Tim Roth.

Tarantino and criminal-turned-author Edward Bunker have minor roles. It incorporates many themes that have become Tarantino's ha­llmarks: violent crime, pop culture references, profanity, and nonlinear storytelling.

As became a trademark of Tarantino's following films, the music plays such a pivotal role in the overall aesthetic of Reservoir Dogs that it could be said it was another character.
