Editorial Reviews

This time around they've included the Guess Who's version of "American Woman," so we're off on the right foot. Sorry, Mr. Kravitz. This compilation of tunes from the second Austin Powers movie includes such obvious hits (yet obvious enough to be left off the first volume) as the Monkees' childlike and charming "I'm a Believer," Marvin Gaye's slinky "Let's Get It On," and the Zombies' eternally gasping "Time of the Season." To carry this soundtrack farther down classic rock road, the producers have included a sprightly remix (Calderone mix) of Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger," Fantastic Plastic Machine's retro-goofy and aptly named "Bachelor Pad" (in your head, you can see Mike Myers going into back spasms), and a brand new Bangles song ("Get the Girl"), which might as well have been dusted off from 1966 with its tight harmonies and chiming 12-string guitars. Time to, uh, shag. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars A shagadelic second volume, baby, YEAH!, November 20, 1999

By A Customer

I saw this album yesterday and was a little uneasy about buying it. I mainly got it for the Propellerheads song, but was I surprised when I put it in my CD player! All of them are my favorites, especially Lords of Acid and Fantastic Plastic Machines...I loved those songs because they were from the theatrical trailer & hey contain great 90s beats with 60s sounds. I also loved the Bangles' "Get The Girl" and They Might Be Giants' "Dr. Evil" theme song. This album is much better than Volume 1 because it doesn't contain rehashes of good old songs. This soundtrack is much more suitable for Austin Powers' 60s environment, like the "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" CD. I highly recommend getting this if you hated the first soundtrack. Very shagadelic!

When I first listened to this soundtrack, I didn't like 60's music. Now, I love it. American Woman is one of m favorite songs now.

4.0 out of 5 stars 'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me' Movie Soundtrackl, May 25, 2008

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Nicely assembled soundtrack CD to the second of the Austin Powers movies of three (so far). Liked hearing choice hits by the likes of the Monkees, Steppenwolf, the Guess Who, Bangles and The Zombies. Since Austin had to travel in time back to 1969 during the movie, this thirteen track CD to accompany the flick as such as I've always loved this movie. Also liked the Madonna exclusive cut of "Beautiful Stranger". Very good.
