Free Music Notes for Austin Powers International Man of Mystery and The Spy Who Shagged Me

Free Music Review: Absolutely Fabulous Film Score Compilation
Hit: 5 Stars

Muzak, which is the music one usually hears in elevators and in adult films, fits in perfectly into these films as they both gained popularity during the second half of the 1960's due to the rise in popularity of adult films and synthesized music. Bossa Nova, a Brazilian musical style, also gained plenty of popularity after the release of the Stan Getz/Tom Jobim albums of that decade, and finally, the suspense tracks of the James Bond films captured the spy-fever that was all too common during the height of the Cold War.

Clinton has done a great job with all the tracks, but I have selected a few as my favorites. These tracks are:

(1) "Vanessa's Theme" (2) "Soul Bossa Nova" (3) "I'm Back / Mini-Me / Time Portal" (4) "Shagga-Nova, The" (5) "Felicity's Theme" (6) "Chess"

These tracks give the listener a smooth, suave feeling and mood that only can represent the swinger attitude that Austin Powers' demonstrates in the film. When I first listened to the score, I became totally hooked on its' smooth arrangements and style. If you're a fan of the film series, or a person who is into film scores, this is a must have. It's an excellent compilation of one of the film world's best composers.
