With the final series of Buffy over (and how could they kill off Anya so glibly? But don’t get me started…), all that’s left to console us sad (in both ways) fanatics is the music from the show, here slickly marketed with sleevenotes by Joss Whedon. Kicking off with The Breeders’ blast at the theme tune, it rolls through the Dandy Warhols, Dashboard Prophets, Aimee Mann, The Devics and Laika. There are score fragments, too, notably Christophe Beck’s “Dead Guys With Bombs”. Poor substitute for the real thing, though I heartily recommend series four of Angel as better than cold turkey.
