As rare as hen's teeth this one - originally released on the Roulé label back in 2001 and with no sign of a forthcoming repress - Thomas Bangalter's Irreversible OST still reigns supreme as the undersung masterwork of the Daft Punk canon.

Always the seemingly more intriguing half of Daft Punk - Bangalter proves himself a worthy rival to Goblin, John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream et al with this dread-filled exercise in electronic tension. From the classic, horror-score electronics of the opening title track, through to Rectum's queasy experiments in low-end disorientation and the unrelenting 4/4 techno assault of Stress (plus plenty more in-between), Bangalter's Irreversible OST is the perfect accompaniment to Gaspar Noé's unforgettable assault on the senses.

But it's not all doom and gloom - they were kind enough to throw in four classic Roulé bangers (including Bangalter's 'Outrun', 'Spinal Scratch', and 'Extra Dry') so you can play it in the club too. Perfect.
