Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
"Beautiful Stranger", the Madonna track that opens and highlights this mixed-bag soundtrack, perfectly captures the nouveau shagadelic mood that Mike Myers's if-the-1990s-were-the-'60s sequel requires. With hints of the psychedelic pop that drove some of her best music between Like a Prayer and Bedtime Stories, this William Orbit collaboration could be a remix of a great lost Jackie DeShannon track. As for the rest of the dozen cuts, they split fairly predictably between the good (the Who, R.E.M., Costello/Bacharach, and Flaming Lips numbers), the bad (Lenny Kravitz's dull "American Woman" cover), and the whatever (Mel "Scary Spice" G's failed takeover of Cameo's "Word Up"). --Rickey Wright

A good collection of songs and artists,
By
This review is from: Austin Powers: the Spy Who Shagged Me (Audio CD)
This album has a real good collection of songs spanning artists as diverse as Madonna, r.e.m., Green Day, Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello, and Quincy Jones and his Orchestra, just to name a few. We also get a 60's track from The Who. And of course there is the fun track by Dr Evil "Just the two of us". The booklet includes a few photos from the movie. On the whole, this is one soundtrack that works.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,
By A Customer
This review is from: Austin Powers: the Spy Who Shagged Me (Audio CD)
This soundtrack to the outrageously funny movie, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, is one of the best that I own and have ever listened to. From what I have heard, the main idea to this soundtrack was to sound '60s-ish with a '90s touch. Mission accomplished! My favorite track on this soundtrack is by the one and only, Madonna! Beautiful Stranger rocks! Madonna's lyrics are so powerful and convincing. I just love this song. It definitely deserved the Grammy award for Best Song For A Soundtrack. I would have to say that my second favorite song on this soundtrack is Alright by The Lucy Nation. I had had this soundtrack for a long time before I found this song. Alright is such a sad and powerful song. I can listen to it over and over and over and never get sick or tired of it. But I must say that I think this song belongs on the Magnolia soundtrack (not a bad thing) and I say that because it's sad in a way and would fit with the Aimee Mann songs on Magnolia. American Woman by Lenny Kravitz has been called bad. I must greatly disagree with them because I think it's a great song. The guitars in this song are very amazing. The other song I liked from this soundtrack is a song that was also put down greatly. It's Word Up by Scary Spice. I think it's a really cool club song. I wish it got some radio attention. If you couldn't tell from the rest of my review that I like this soundtrack a lot and that you should buy it, maybe you should look more carefully. You SHOULD definitely buy this soundtrack because it rocks!
