V/A – Austin Powers – The Spy Who Shagged Me – CD
(Maverick) As far as soundtracks go this one is pretty damn good. The focus on many of the tunes is a 60′s sound with a contemporary feel. The bands on this release including the combo of Burt Bacharach & Elvis Costello, Big Blue Missile (with a Bowie sounding Scott Weiland) and the Flaming Lips did a wonderful job. R.E.M. has a catchy little number that has many people asking that’s R.E.M.!?! The biggest surprise for me was the tune Beautiful Stranger by Madonna. Normally I’m not a big Madonna fan, but I love this song which has a nice dance beat with a 60′s flare. And, no I will not end this review with a sound bite, so there.
