4.0 out of 5 stars To ease Gozar's pain, January 22, 2005

Nice compilation, 3½ stars. 4 stars if you don't already own much of Sting's discography. 4 ½ stars for NEED YOUR LOVE SO BAD, because you may have a hard time finding PARTY PARTY's soundtrack on CD.

( I found it...shortly after buying this compilation )

Based on this compilation's theme, the overall interest is somewhat diluted because many songs have been used in their original form in the movies to which they are related, as they are here too: tracks 1,2,4,7,9,10,16 and 17. Great songs, but those have nearly nothing to do with Sting's TRUE contributions to movies soundtracks up until 1997 ( year of release of this compilation, yes, before KATE AND LEOPOLD and THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE )

At least some of STING's vocal and/or musical contributions to movie world are here, like NEED YOU LOVE SO BAD, SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, DEMOLITION MAN, ANGEL EYES and MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE.

I would have gave this compilation 6 stars if SHAPE OF MY HEART had been preceded by Dominic Miller's guitar solo intro, as it can be heard in THE PROFESSIONAL's epilogue. No luck !

I'm afraid ( and glad ) that Sting's successful and prolific relationship with movie makers is a neverending story. In that respect, a 1997 compilation already seems outdated.

An updated «kind-of-At-the-movies...VOLUME 1!» compilation with only TRUE Sting's movie collaborations would be great.

I wouldn't mind to wait until May 2005, after the release of the movie ASHURA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth Warm and Breathless, May 6, 2000

My Favorite CD in my Sting collection. Some songs I've never heard before plus breathless remakes of some long dead classics. After hearing an old classic like Frank Sinatra perform (bellow) one of these old songs on the radio, I had to turn off the radio and quickly hear Sting's warm and meaningful version. Thanks for putting life, subtley, and romance back into these. The rest of the songs on the CD are multi-level masterpieces. Good CD for those long cross state drives. Only one mediocre song on this whole CD (that "All For One" pop trite with Rod Stewart).

5.0 out of 5 stars Sting At the Movies--When is Vol. 2 happening?, May 29, 2003

By

I have all the Sting albums and a video or two. This is my favorite collection, though, and truly worth the big bucks. Bring on Sting's smooth jazz, smoky voice, the ballads, the Latin harmonies and rhythms. He makes me swoon. And that's beside the fact that he's a fine-looking specimen!

I'm eager to get the NEXT movie soundtrack collection, with the singles from Kate & Leopold, The Emperor's New Groove, that Brosnan-Russo movie, etc. Hurry, Sting! Your fans await, with fists full of dollars. The collection is a bargain, and we don't have to wade through all the soundtrack stuff we DON'T want, to get to what we DO want.
