FanBolt writes: ATO Records is proud to announce that the soundtrack to the subversively comedic film "Choke," will be released on September 23, 2008. The album, a digital-only release, will have the seven songs from the film and eight others that are significant to actor, director and screen writer Clark Greggs vision while he was making it. Highlights include previously recorded songs by the likes of Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Fiery Furnaces, The Twilights Singers and Ben Kweller. Most notable additions are the previously unreleased or rare tracks that appear on the record, among them "Orgasm Addict" by The Buzzcocks as sung by the bands original singer Howard Devoto, a great version of The Doors "Crystal Ship" by the incomparable Nicole Atkins and The Sea, and the original version by The Natural History of Spoons current hit single, "Dont You Ever." The full tracklisting and comments on each song by Gregg are below. Fox Searchlight Pictures and ATO Pictures present "Choke," a Contrafilm/ATO Pictures Production, based on the novel by maverick author Chuck Palahniuk ("Fight Club"). Actor-turned-director Gregg shows he is as adept behind the camera as he is in front of it with this wickedly comedic tale of Victor Mancini, con artist, sex addict, Colonial village re-enactor, angst-filled son, serial restaurant choke -- and unsuspecting romantic antihero for our unsettling times. "Choke," which ran away with the Special Jury Prize for Best Work by an Ensemble Cast at this years Sundance Film Festival, is not only a cathartic and romantic satire about uncontrolled lust, lost faith, childhood trauma, mad addictions, bizarre fantasies and blockages both emotionally and literally, but also about second chances, redemptive moments and true love - that is, its about modern life.
