If you’ve been wishing that your favorite hip-hop artists would collaborate with your favorite electronica artists, then “Blade II: the Soundtrack” could satisfy your craving. Immortal Records, the same source that produced the 1994 “Judgment Night” and 1998 “Spawn” soundtracks, released the album Tuesday.

This compilation, loaded with big names from both genres, certainly is eclectic and unique. However, the names on the album are much more impressive than the music on it. Most of the tracks sound like rappers on speed. But, hey, if your life is like a tripped-out vampire movie then this could be the anthem you’ve been waiting for.

The majority of the tracks are in the form of a duet by a hip-hop artist and an electronica artist. Eve and Fatboy Slim, Ice Cube and Paul Oakenfold, Bubba Sparxxx and The Crystal Method, Mos Def and Massive Attack, and Mystikal and Moby are some of the unlikely pairs coupled here.

Three of the tracks feature trios instead of duets. Busta Rhymes and Silkk The Shocker (together for the first time) rhyme over an interesting beat laid by Dub Pistols. Fabolous aligns with Jadakiss over a Primus-esque, backwards bass-line beat provided by Danny Saber. Groove Armada gets the groove going for “Gangsta Queens” with Trina and Rah-Digga.

Most of these collaborations sound like forced and unhappy unions. However, there are a couple of highlights proving that matches of this sort can be successful artistic endeavors.

BT lays trance beats while The Roots spit rapid-fire lyrics on “Tao of the Machine.” Redman keeps it real while getting inside the funky, never-boring backups by Gorillaz on “Gorillaz on My Mind.” Moby and Mystikal mesh nicely on “Gettin’ Aggressive.”

I predict that rap fans will say that this would have been a great album without all that dance/trance crap, while trancers will be furious that words ruined the effects that their precious electronica artists made. Can’t we all just get along?
