Product Description

From Amazon.com

Whereas the first two Austin Powers soundtracks concentrated on swinging-'60s mod, soul, and rock shagadelica, Goldmember shakes its '70s funk and disco groove thing. Angie Stone turns in a silky cover of "Groove Me," while Beyoncé Knowles belts "Work It Out" in fierce diva style over rickety but slinky beats. Soul Hooligan add cheesy vocoded vocals and synths to their version of Electric Light Orchestra's "Evil Woman"; Paul Oakenfold mashes up "A Fifth of Beethoven" with a dark, Mission Impossible-like melody; and the Rolling Stones' disco excursion "Miss You" is imbued with an intoxicating step-beat and throbbing strings by Dr. Dre. Even Mike Myers gets into the groove action, drolly spoofing Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life" as Dr. Evil, to hilarious effect. But like the hedonistic '70s, there's not much substance underneath the songs. While understandable--Austin Powers isn't meant to be brain surgery--glitzy dance tracks by Foxxy Cleopatra, Britney Spears, and Oakenfold especially drag and become clunky. --Annie Zaleski

Chronique amazon.fr

Les deux premières B.O des aventures d'Austin Powers se déroulaient dans un décor sixties fortement imprégné d'airs rock & pop. Goldmember, troisième volet des épisodes du binoclard aussi sexy que la Panthère rose, revisite les hédonistes années 70 versant disco funky. L'histoire commence donc avec le groovy "Work It Out" interprété par Beyoncé Knowles, la diva des Destiny's Child (reconvertie en adorable Foxy Cléopatra à l'afro redoutable) et se poursuit avec une relecture irrésistible du "Miss You" des Stones par l'infatigable Dr. Dre. La parfaite Angie Stone participe à la fête ("Groove Me") où s'exhibe la jouissive Britney Spears remodelée par Pharell Williams des NERD ("Boys") et Soul Hooligan avec sa version vocodée d'"Evil Woman" d'Elecric Light Orchestra. Paul Oakenfold joue entre la cinquième symphonie de Beethoven et le thème de Mission Impossible ("1975") tandis que Mike Myers lui-même entre dans la danse ("Daddy Wasn't There"). Quant à Susanna Hoffs, ex-Bangles déjà présente sur les épisodes précédents, elle conclut cet Austin Powers Goldmember avec un très hollywoodien "Alfie". Nostalgique de KC & The Sunshine Band et Earth Wind and Fire, cette B.O.F tient toutes ses promesses. --Sabrina Silamo

5.0 out of 5 stars a funny story..., July 16 2002
By 
Nick (Louisville, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Austin Powers in Goldmember (Audio CD)
I was in best buy today picking up new CD's and i came across the new Austin Powers CD. Looking at the back of the CD i scanned down the track listings and saw "Dr. Evil- Hard Knock life Ghetto Anthem Remix". I literally started laughing out loud. I thought to myself "well, i do like that new beyonce song on there" and decided to buy it just for the hard knock life. Imagine Dr. Evil singing a rendered Jay-Z classic! As i proceeded to the register, a guy picked up my CD to scan it, and while the reciept was printing he looked at the tracks. he noticed the same Dr. Evil song on it, started cracking up and showed another employee. After i was done they both went to where it was sitting and picked up a copy.

Well now that that story is over, this soundtrack is actually pretty good. It captures the magic of the music of 1975 pretty well; from Beyonce's great neptune-produced "work it out", that sounds like it came straight from the 70's with a 2002 twist. Angie Stone sounds just like a soul diva with the likes of Gloria Gaynor with her song, and Oakenfolds' 1975 is an irresitible flashback of great tunes. The only thing that feels out of place on this album is the britney spears track. Now to the Dr. evil song. Its just as incredibly hilarious as i anticipated. You really have to hear it to believe it, but in the 2nd verse he starts cussing like a maniac and it bleeps it all out. This is an essential soundtrack to what is going to be one of the greatest movies of the summer.

This review is from: Austin Powers in Goldmember (Audio CD)
I saw the movie. Then, I listened to the soundtrack. Boy, those songs were good. Not the best, but very good. I plan to buy it someday.

If you haven't listened to the soundtrack, listen to it. You just might enjoy it.
