Mike Myers's love letter to mid-'60s pop kitsch (and understated critique of the hardcore '90s) may not have wowed many critics, but it soldiered quirkily along to become a true cult hit. Its soundtrack is one of the film's more underrated charms--a savvy mix of '60s and '90s influences that are by turns infectiously silly (the Powers-fronted Ming Tea's earnestly energetic "BBC") and downright sublime (Burt Bacharach and the Posies' new take on "What the World Needs Now"). Cuts by acid-jazz powerhouse The James Taylor Quartet, the Diviynls, Quincy Jones, the Cardigans, and others round out the decidedly groovy proceedings. --Jerry McCulley

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Compilation Of New And Old, December 14, 1999

By	Jim Dempsey (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews

Here is a soundtrack of tunes from the first movie that started the "Yeah, baby" craze. It has a few classics ("Incense and Peppermints", "Soul Bossa Nova", and "Mas Que Nada") with some new songs and new recordings of 60's classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't get any better than this!, June 5, 1999

By A Customer

This is a great CD. Even if you hated Austin Powers (if you did you're nuts) you'll love this CD. It has it all. Great sounding popish stuff, cool sounding band stuff, and groovy 60's stuff. You can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most Shag-a-Delic soundtrack ever!, November 8, 1998

By A Customer

This has to be the best movie soundtrack I've ever bought. It includes almost all the songs that caught my attention in the film itself (although "Secret Agent Man" and "These Boots Were Made For Walking" would have been nice) and some great ones I didn't even hear in the movie. I reccomend this to any fan of 60s-era pop (and 90s era pop too!).
