This offbeat funeral-home drama might not have the certified musical cred of its HBO peer ''The Sopranos,'' but Six Feet Under shares a taste for the eclectic -- and mostly succeeds. The leap from Peggy Lee's brassy jazz-pop to PJ Harvey's crunching guitars to Shuggie Otis' loose-limbed soul is admirably bold. But it's the drum-crashing techno remixes of Thomas Newman's (''American Beauty'') haunting theme that pose the ultimate question: Should death ever sound this good?
