American Psycho: Music from the Controversial Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the 2000 film American Psycho directed by Mary Harron. The soundtrack featured music from the 1980s performed by artists such as David Bowie, Huey Lewis, Eric B. & Rakim, the Cure, among several others. The musical selections were inspired from the characteristics of Patrick Bateman and also authentic to the film's setting as Harron wanted it to set the film's tone. Velvet Underground co-founder John Cale's film score was also featured in the album subtitled as "monologues". The album was distributed by Koch Records on April 4, 2000. Despite the positive reception, the soundtrack was also controversial in regard to music licensing, due to the film's violent content.
