The second soundtrack disc from HBO's Six Feet Under highlights the till-death-do-us-part connection between sight and sound in the award-winning series. Cinematic tracks from the past (Nina Simone's dark, loungy "Feelin' Good") and the present (Coldplay's woozy "A Rush of Blood to the Head") have underscored pivotal scenes in the drama chronicling the Fisher family and their inner circle, and accentuate the show's artsy focus. But the real selling point here -- especially for alternative music aficionados -- is the inclusion of exclusive tracks created for SFU's fifth and final season. These include the Arcade Fire's angsty, folky "Cold Wind," Interpol's neo-post-punk "Direction," and -- in an O.C.-like turn -- the Caesars' loyal interpretation of Blue Öyster Cult's stoner classic "Don't Fear the Reaper." Other notable cuts include a previously unreleased cut from Jem (the airy, beat-filled "Amazing Life"), a moody, minute-long, nearly a cappella piece from Frou Frou singer Imogen Heap, and Zero 7 chanteuse Sia's "Breathe Me," which closes the series on an appropriately bittersweet note. Six Feet Under -- and the irresistibly melancholy music coloring its scenes -- will course through our veins long after the show departs HBO On Demand. Lydia Vanderloo, Barnes & Noble
