Description
Hunter S. Thompson’s weird and hallucinatory book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was translated to the screen in 1998 by director Terry Gilliam, and stars Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro as Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo.
The film details the duo’s journey through Las Vegas as their initial journalistic intentions devolve into an exploration of the city under the influence of psychoactive substances. The music is perfectly fitting in the psychedelic story of the movie. It contains songs used in the film with sound bites of the film before each song. The psychedelic and classic rock songs on the soundtrack include songs from Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield, and the Dead Kennedys.
The movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was a financial failure, but later gained a cult following and was eventually included in many best of movie lists.
The soundtrack of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is available on black vinyl. This release has a laser etched D-side and secret inscriptions in the run-out grooves.
