"Fugazi: Instrument Soundtrack" is a compilation album by the American post-hardcore band Fugazi, released in 1999. It serves as the soundtrack to the documentary film "Instrument," directed by Jem Cohen, which chronicles the band's history and features live performances, studio sessions, and interviews.
The album features a mix of studio recordings, live tracks, and unreleased material, providing a comprehensive overview of Fugazi's career up to that point. Tracks like "Pink Frosty" and "Slo Crostic" showcase the band's dynamic and experimental approach to punk rock, with angular guitar riffs, propulsive rhythms, and politically charged lyrics.
In addition to their original songs, the album includes instrumental tracks and ambient soundscapes, reflecting Fugazi's interest in exploring different musical textures and moods.
While "Instrument Soundtrack" may not be as well-known as some of Fugazi's studio albums, it remains a favorite among fans for its raw energy, DIY ethos, and insight into the band's creative process. It serves as a fitting companion to the documentary film, offering a glimpse into the world of one of the most influential and innovative bands in alternative music.
