In Brief
* * * Various artists, “In the Name of the Father” soundtrack, Island. An Irish all-star team contributes to this above-average soundtrack. Bono and Gavin Friday co-wrote and duet on two songs, both creepy, cannily crafted, percussive delights--if hardly hits; Sinead O’Connor, in her prettily tense mode, sings a third insinuating big-beat ballad by the pair. Period rockers from Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy and others make the cut, along with score excerpts by Trevor Jones.
New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
