Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Austin Powers may be a remnant of the '60s, but the soundtrack for his second film spans generations. Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello light into the former's "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," with trumpet and piano creating a plush aura. Quincy Jones and His Orchestra provide the perfectly campy "Soul Bossa Nova (Dim's Space-A-Nova)." Mike Myers himself gets into the fray as Dr. Evil for a humorous take on Bill Withers's "Just the Two of Us" and R.E.M. successfully updates Tommy James's "Draggin' the Line." Madonna teams up with William Orbit for "Beautiful Stranger." Green Day turns in "Espionage," an instrumental that harkens back to cheesy action movies and the Batman theme. Big Blue Missile with Scott Weiland attempts to modernize the Zombies' "Time of the Season" with extra drum beats. But it's pure imitation. The real thing can be found in the Flaming Lips track, the pure-liquid LSD psychedelic pop of "Buggin'." --Rob O'Connor Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good SoundtrackThis was a cool soundtrack but it had almost nothing with Mike Myers in it. That was the only dissappointment. Other than that this is a great soundtrack with some super-hits and great songs. Best 2 Songs- My Generation & American Woman Worst 2 Songs- Buggin & Soul Bossa Nova Rating:  - It's groovy but not that groovy, babyAs is often the case with movie soundtracks, this CD offers some really good tracks alongside some humdrum and rather poor ones. Madonna's Beautiful Stranger is the cream of the crop; it's one of the better songs Madonna has put out in recent years, in my opinion. The live version of The Who's My Generation fits the Austin Powers theme nicely and plays very well on the album. Lenny Kravitz' rocking remake of American Woman is another great track that many folks will be quite familiar with already from its heavy radio play. I was very happy to see Dr. Evil's Just the Two of Us make its way onto the album, as it's a crowd-pleasing, memorable party of the movie. I also rather like, in a weird sort of way, The Lucy Nation's song Alright; it ...

After you lisen to it a few times your find yourself most likely lisening to those 2 songs mostly and maybe 1 or 2 other songs on there,,,,, and did I menchin that it has Dr.Evial's verisenof "Just the two of us" on it..... All in all if your only after the CD to get only like 1 or 2 songs on it go to like Kazza or WInMX and download theam off there dont waste your money ...

We also get a 60's track from The Who. And of course there is the fun track by Dr Evil "Just the two of us". The booklet includes a few photos from the movie. On the whole, this is one soundtrack that works. Rating: - Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged MeThis soundtrack to the outrageously funny movie, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, is one of the best that I own and have ever listened to. From what I have heard, the main idea to this soundtrack was to sound '60s-ish with a '90s touch. Mission accomplished! My favorite track on this soundtrack is by the one and only, Madonna! Beautiful Stranger rocks! Madonna's lyrics are so powerful and convincing. I just love this song. It definitely deserved the Grammy award for Best Song For A Soundtrack. I would have to say that my second favorite song on this soundtrack is Alright by The Lucy Nation. I had had this soundtrack for a long time before I found this song. Alright is such a sad and powerful song. I can listen ... Read More: |
