1.0 out of 5 stars Songs Forgotten, May 9, 2001

Blast from the past was a fantastic movie especially all the Music in it from the 50s and 60s. That's why I was going to buy this Soundtrack. Is this a soundtrack for the movie "BLAST FROM THE PAST" or an Alternative CD with songs used from the Movie. There is only 1 old 50s song on this soundtrack. and in the movie there were like 5 or 6. Why were these songs forgotten? Are soundtracks being made today only putting songs on CDs from this time period even though they have old songs in the movie? If your buying this soundtrack for the old 50s and 60s songs you heard in the movie you won't find them on this CD that's for sure. So hopefully they'll make a remake of the real Soundtrack for "BLAST FROM THE PAST" with all the 50s and 60s music that was in the movie with a mix of todays music from the movie.

After renting the movie, falling in love with it, buying the DVD, and watching it another ten or so times, I bought the soundtrack. Rarely does a soundtrack come along that captures the essence of a movie, but Steve Tyrell did a superb job as a music supervisor. There are songs that are insightful; there are songs that are uplifting; there are songs that are beautiful. Had more of the oldies from the movie been included on the soundtrack, it would have made everything nearly perfect. Some of the most momentous songs are "I See The Sun" by the smoky-voiced Tommy Henriksen, whose song acts as great background music for Venice Beach, California; "So Long Toots" by the always enjoyable Cherry Poppin' Daddies; Dishwalla's "Pretty Babies," which ties for Most Memorable Song, as the tragic lyrics and the melody seem to fit seamlessly into the film; the fervent "I Will Buy You A New Life" by Everclear; The Flying Neutrino's smashing swing song, "Mr. Zoot Suit," which ultimately might win Most Memorable Song after all; legendary Perry Como's "It's A Good Day" that somehow brightens your day; and the unknown-but-brilliant Celeste Prince's "A Little Belief," a fragile but silvery gem of a song. If possible and interested, do look for Dean Martin's "I Belong To You," a beautiful and classic song (unfortunately, not included on the soundtrack) that you will never get tired of. In sum, the songs are pleasurable and charming, just like the film. Recommended playing: All The Time.

Is it not possible that there are MORE THAN ONE Perry Como songs in this movie? The movie is fabulous and the music incredible. The Como song included on the CD IS in the movie, they just didn't include the other two from the film. Many of the other, less positive (many downright negative!) reviewers seem to think that the goal of this soundtrack was to provide Perry Como's greatest hits. It is a SOUNDTRACK. The producers of this CD simply took a well-rounded collection of songs that were played during the movie.

This is a great collection of the songs that make the movie as good as it is. The swing music is great for dancing, while the others exude a feeling of well being similar to that of the movie. I would strongly recommend this CD.
