As with most albums pegged to event movies, this is a mishmash of second-rate songs from unrelated artists. Much of it is previously released, and for every good new cut (Alana Davis' breathy cover of Blind Faith's ''Can't Find My Way Home'') there are two equally poor ones (SX10's clichéd rap-metal, Gerald Levert's too-slick reading of Todd Rundgren's ''Hello It's Me''). It's almost a relief that Curtis Mayfield's collaboration with Lauryn Hill is merely mediocre. C+
