Free Music Notes for Austin Powers: Original Soundtrack

Hit: 4 Stars
As Austin puts it, this album is 'groovy baby', so much so that it makes you want to step into a time portal and head back to the 60's! All the songs on the album are retro and kitsch, which ultimately sits well with the movie's themes. (How hard is that to find in a movie soundtrack these days?) What's interesting to note is that most of the songs are covered by modern day artists, which indicates in some respects that this is a 60's 'tribute' album. Standout tracks include 'Carnival' by the masters of retro-pop the Cardigans, 'Soul Bossa Nova' by the legendary Quincy Jones and 'Female of the Species' by Space. This soundtrack is definitely a feel-good album and is great to sing along to. So if you are a fan of retro, or want an album that can keep you in an optimistic frame of mind (think 60's flower power!), than this soundtrack is a must have.Free Music Review: I found it nostalgic.

This CD might hold more appeal for baby boomers than generation X'ers, but if you enjoyed the music while watching the movie, then you'll likely enjoy this CD. The subtly modernized version of The Turtles classic "You Showed Me" put a new twist on an old favorite. I was impressed that some of the remakes even contained simulated vinyl pops and scratches making this CD literally groovy!. Many of the late 60's classics brought back some nice feelings. The CD would not have been complete without "Mas Que Nada", however, I was disappointed that "Secret Agent Man" was absent. Also, it would have been nice to have included the original version of Bacharach's "What The World Needs Now is Love". All in all though this was a very "groovy" CD!Free Music Review: Allow myself, to introduce......myself.

All around one of the great tribute/spoof movies, and the music is just as good. I also have "The Spy Who Shagged Me" soundtrack, and even though it's groovy too, this is better. You get the old classics "Incense and Peppermints" and "What the World Needs Now is Love". New songs that sound 60's from the "Cardigans" and "Susanna Hoffs". Plus a few other cool numbers like "Female of the Species", "You Showed Me", and the hands on "I Touch Myself". Overall it's just a cool bunch of music whether you liked the movie or not. It should have you shaging in no time.Free Music Review: Austin's Chart Topper- Yeah Baby! Yeah!

From Brazil 66 and Sergio Mendez's super swingin' sounds to the dark tone of George Clinton's Austin Powers theme, this album has it all, in a total retro look at music. The 60's and 70's never looked this good. The Cardigan's Carnival song is my personal favorite, but with such a variety of tracks, how can you go wrong. This is one for all times. The inside jacket is adorned with never-before-seen photographs of beautiful Liz Hurley and shagging Mike Meyers. An excellent choice!
