Free Music Notes for Summer Of Sam: Original Soundtrack
Free Music Review: 4.5 Stars!
Hit: 4 Stars
I love this CD! Whoever compiled it, managed to put some of my all time favorite 70's dance/Disco tunes on this project! Especially the rare, hard to find...First Choice song, "Let No Man Put Asunder", and Machine's "There But For The Grace of God." Talk about bringing back memories! Other favorites: "Got to Give It Up" - Marvin Gaye (the dance anthem)! Dancing Queen - ABBA (there's just something about it)! Running Away - Roy Ayers (Classic tune)! Everybody Dance - Chic (What can you say..it's Chic)! Fooled Around and Fell in Love - Elvin Bishop (Another great 70's song...) Best of My Love - The Emotions (Great cut produced by EWF)! Dance With Me - Peter Brown (big, big Disco hit), Don't Leave Me This Way - Thelma Houston (another of my all time favorite 70's song)!
This CD is a good one..you'll be jamming the entire time..!
Wonderful Disco/70's compilation!
Free Music Review: Good but where's the punk?
Hit: 4 Stars
I got this in the local store thinking there was going to be the song "Hello From The Gutters" which was actually recorded and performed by the actors (!). Unfortunately it wasn't on there and I don't know where to find that song or if it even exists at all on CD. With the exception of the two Who songs (especially "Baba O' Riley") there is not a shred of punk in this album. But, the disco and pop and such work well here. "There But For The Grace of God" was probably the best song with the best message, and ABBA always works wonders. Chic's "Everybody Dance" is another classic, though I'm convinced they used it in the wrong movie scene. Also of interest are the various soul and diva anthems. Of course you can't go wrong with the Who.
Free Music Review: I "fooled around and fell in love" with this soundtrack.
Hit: 4 Stars
I am a huge fan of soundtracks specifically for the variety and the mood they create. This one does a fabulous job in both categories. I really enjoy this CD because it does have some of the more popular 70s songs, but they aren't all disco. (Ok, so "Dancin' Queen" is my favorite song.) Nevertheless, if you liked the movie then you'll love the soundtrack.Free Music Review: This compilation is representative of the "Son of Sam" era

I thoroughly enjoyed the music on this album. It is such an accurate representation of the late 70s dance club music. These tunes brought back memories of a crazy time. Each of these songs will be forever etched in the minds of those who heard them.Free Music Review: Who DOESN'T Need Another '70s Comp Featuring Thelma Houston?
Hit: 3 Stars
This soundtrack is definitely an awe extender for those lucky enough to have seen Spike Lee's latest film. The music used in "Summer of Sam" was fit so perfectly with the action, it redefines how you hear it, if only until the movie fades from memory. Highlights include the eternally intense "Baba O'Reiley" by The Who, the lush "Everybody Dance" by Chic, and Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," which is begging for an inept remake by a hideous bubblegum pop band (if it hasn't happened already). This soundtrack is a time capsule of wacky, scary, historic 1977, which will hopefully start getting its true propers as an amazing point in history with the help of Lee's film. There are some tired tracks on the soundtrack - do we really need another disco comp with "Don't Leave Me This Way"? Yeah, it's a great song, but why not just go all the way and slap on "I Will Survive"? But, as said, the overkill selections on the soundtrack are still a good time, so for those wanting to go back 20 years or so, this is a good way to induce those flashbacks.
