If you are expecting the Soundtrack from the movie, this aint it! This is another dreadfull "The Album" deals. While Grace Jones track is pretty good. They can have the rest of "The Album". Most of the "Music" on The Album is from the credits at the end not the film its self. Mrs Peel we're needed.

and what makes it worse is that they could have included "I'm In Love With Emma Peel" by The Allies, a great bit of pop music, and failed to do so. Bleagh!

A whole spectrum of music is covered on this CD; and all seem to fit the movie. The first two tracks are taken straight from the film, and are fantastic - Grace Jones's vocal power fits the song wonderfully. Then the non-film tracks begin, with great trip-hop beats from Annie Lennox (doing a Bjork cover), Stereo MCs; rock from Suggs (a very breezy, swinging track), Merz , Babybird, Ashtar Command and Sinead O' Connor. There's even some electronica thrown in from Utah Saints and Roni Size; and a truly great track from Dishwalla - I can imagine Emma Peel dancing to this one! Some tracks may not tickle your fancy (they will grow on you though) but on the whole, very, very good.

For some reason, your listing above claims track 4 is something by Iggy Pop -- it isn't. It's "I AM" by Suggs. It's the perfect song to listen to, on the road or while serving ice cream to a chihuahua. That's what I do.

Marius DeVries is one of the hottest music producers out there. His work with Madonna and Bjork has gained lots of attention, and this project prooved to be as successful as his past recordings. He's produced and lent a hand on almost every track on this CD, adding a cool flavor to the various artisit's expressions. My favorite rock out tunes are Grace Jone's "Hurricane," Annie Lennox's cover of Bjork's "Mama," Sinead and Ashtar Command's "Summer's End," Stereo MC's track, and of course the main title. If you are a fan of the Propellerheads, the soundtrack to recent James Bond films or the Matrix, I guaranttee that you'll like the cd.

Although foreign music is making a comeback in America, I, and many others, still need to get used to it. Besides Grace Jones and Sugar Ray, Brittish music isn't all too bad. The songs were okay....some but they didn't really fit the movie. Just look at a picture of Ralph Fiennes in Avengers costume and listen to the CD. It's just not......them.

you have the wrong picture so I cannot even give it a review! please fix it!
