In 1992, Soundtracks focussed on his songwriting and solo career, releasing the album Rise Above, followed by the excellent Sleeping Star in 1994. He released two more studio albums before passing away in 1997. Standout albums include Rise Above and Sleeping Star, plus the posthumous releases Everything is Temporary and Good Things. Notable fans of Soundtracks' solo work include Evan Dando of the Lemonheads, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and Dave Graney.
