4.0 out of 5 stars I know the name of the French song from the last episode!, August 23, 2005

It is by MC Solaar, a popular french rapper, and the name of the song is La Belle Et Le Bad Boy, and it is off the Cinquieme As (Fifth Ace) album. I am really bummed that this song is not included on the soundtrack, as I have to say is one of the more catchy ones that they played throughout the series.

The origianl "Sex and the City" soundtrack that was released a few years ago was a disaster... none of the songs were ever on the show and the theme song was remixed by Groove Armada... a nice remix but we want the original version as well.

Well, finally we get it, as well as the longer version that plays during the closing credits. As well as many other songs that have played in the show throughout the past 6 years like "Point of View" DB Boulevard; "Got To Be Real" Cheryl Lynn; "If You Leave Me Now" Chicago; "New York State of Mind" Billy Joel; "Respect" Aretha Franklin; "She Bangs" Ricky Martin; "By Your Side" Sade; "Hot Stuff" Donna Summer; "Moon River" Andy Williams.

As always, there are some questionable "inspired" by songs... I still don't see the need for Britney, Justin, Kylie, or Toni Braxton. However other inspiried songs are perfect fits like Nina Simone's "Feelin' Good" and "Ladies Night" by Kool & The Gang.

Still some things that are missing that would have been nice, but you can't expect a perfect soundtrack ever...
However I think we'd all like to have had "You Got The Love" Candi Station and "La Belle et la Bad Boy" MC Solaar included, as well as a few others like "More More More" and the great, jazz number that was used in the promos for the final season that Bjork covered a few year back. I was also sad to see British group Zero 7 not included. I discovered them on this show and many of their songs have been played in several episodes.

"Sex and the City" isn't always known for it, but they had a fantastic team behind the music and no only carefully picked great classics over the years and made them hip again, but gave light to lesser known acts like DB Boulevard and Zero 7.

As this was only released in the UK (Hence the $40 import price, however I found it at a record store here for $28) let's hope there is another, US release that finally get's it 100% right.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing for Sex and the City standards, May 12, 2005

Some of the songs were great because they were on the show. But half of these were not. Where's the finale song? How can you have a soundtrack without the most important song of all? Plus what about "Breathe" by Michelle Branch, when Carrie is on the flying trapeese. I love the show but once again, disappointed w/ the soundtrack as well as the 50 bucks for season 5 w/ only 8 episodes. Tisk Tisk Sex and the City. Just because the show is over doesn't mean your job is done.
