Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Austin Powers may be a remnant of the '60s, but the soundtrack for his second film spans generations. Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello light into the former's "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," with trumpet and piano creating a plush aura. Quincy Jones and His Orchestra provide the perfectly campy "Soul Bossa Nova (Dim's Space-A-Nova)." Mike Myers himself gets into the fray as Dr. Evil for a humorous take on Bill Withers's "Just the Two of Us" and R.E.M. successfully updates Tommy James's "Draggin' the Line." Madonna teams up with William Orbit for "Beautiful Stranger." Green Day turns in "Espionage," an instrumental that harkens back to cheesy action movies and the Batman theme. Big Blue Missile with Scott Weiland attempts to modernize the Zombies' "Time of the Season" with extra drum beats. But it's pure imitation. The real thing can be found in the Flaming Lips track, the pure-liquid LSD psychedelic pop of "Buggin'." --Rob O'Connor

4.0 out of 5 stars Limited Edition means that its FURRY!!, September 2, 1999

By A Customer

OK, I noticed that no-where on this page does it actually tell you that the CD case is Pink crushed velvet on the outside with the Spy who sh@#ged me logo and the inside has a black velvet bit where the CD goes and a realy cool silver shiney pocket with austin on it for the sleve. I didn't find this out until it fell through the door into my waiting hands. The songs are good too :-)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not like the actual movie's soundtrack..., December 27, 1999

By	Ashley (New York) - See all my reviews

When I first saw the movie I was psyched to get the soundtrack; I mean, so many great songs... Magic Carpet Ride, Time for All Seasons, Let's Get It On... Unfortunately none of them turned out to be on this CD. There are a few good songs, but it's really not the same feel as you get from the music when actually watching the film. It seems that Vol 2 of this CD would be pretty good from the track listings, but I don't actually have a copy. My advice: if you are going to buy one CD this year: make it vol 2. But if you are going to buy two, vol 1 is decent too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack of some of the film, February 14, 2000

By	Neil Heatley (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews

Many ofthe songs from the film do not appear on the soundtrack leaving it void of some of the rocking tunes that featured. The absence of these songs is noticable on the CD as it leaves it with less memorable songs.
