Great soundtrack, really captures that 1970s flavor. I understand this was all done on analog equipment to produce the retro ambiance, and it really works. Great songs, with "Shine" a particular favorite. I have been listening to this non-stop for three days now and it hasn't gotten old yet.

This is a truly authentic 70s soundtrack, regardless of when it was recorded. By using the instruments of the time period, multi-instrumentalist Adrian Younge simply adds his genuine personal flavor to the manipulation of those instruments and the vocal arrangements.
If I had not known differently, I would have thought I found an old album belonging to my mother that I had never heard before. Mr. Younge is the best new 70s artist of the 21st century!

This alblum is a straight throwback to that stripped down 70s funk of Curtis Mayfield, and Willie Hutch. The alblum represts films of that era perfectly. It's perfecft.

Man this movie was awesome and this soundtrack is just as awesome. If you've never seen the movie go now pretty much what ya heard there will be here

WOW, before I begin, it may be useful to know that you can hear high quality one minute fragments of each track at Waxpoetics website. I discovered this thanks to the site and I discovered the site thanks to the publication of the same name. When I first saw this, I was very excited. I was expecting, however, that this would be at least mostly instrumental. Unfortunately it is NOT. I'm actually kinda mad because this guy looks very talented. Multi-instrumentalist, and vibes...I love vibes! There's not enough of this kind of funky music being made today (if you disagree, please contact me and let me know where I can find it), and I guess I just prefer to lose myself in the "music" without the vocals getting in the way (check out Chris Joss.) Also, this is supposedly a soundtrack to a film, perhaps the reason I suspected it would be instrumental.

But hey, I have a solution! Just as XL Recordings issued an all instrumental version of Rjd2's "The Third Hand," so too could Waxpoetics release an all instrumental mix of this soundtrack, at which point I'd give it 5 stars. There's nothing wrong with the music. I believe there may be one instrumental track (Rafelli Chase?)
