Music reviews of The Avengers (Soundtrack)
Music Review: Great
Rating: 4 Stars
A whole spectrum of music is covered on this CD; and all seem to fit the movie. The first two tracks are taken straight from the film, and are fantastic - Grace Jones's vocal power fits the song wonderfully. Then the non-film tracks begin, with great trip-hop beats from Annie Lennox (doing a Bjork cover), Stereo MCs; rock from Suggs (a very breezy, swinging track), Merz , Babybird, Ashtar Command and Sinead O' Connor. There's even some electronica thrown in from Utah Saints and Roni Size; and a truly great track from Dishwalla - I can imagine Emma Peel dancing to this one! Some tracks may not tickle your fancy (they will grow on you though) but on the whole, very, very good.
Description of The Avengers (Soundtrack)
Soundtrack to 1998 action flick, starring Uma Thurman, features tracks from Suggs (Madness), Annie Lennox, Stereo MCs, Utah Saints, Baby Bird, Ronnie Size, Ashtar Command feat. Sinead O'Connor, & many more. 14 tracks. Atlantic.British TV spies Emma Peel and John Steed have always conjured images of saucy sophistication, so the musical accompaniment to their film debut should be equally debonair. Marius deVries sets the first appropriate note, with an updated Avengers theme that combines strings with beats. Grace Jones and the Radio Science Orchestra tackle the picture's meteorological bent with the sultry "Storm," an epic, Bond-worthy theme. Sadly, after the groovy "Many Weathers Apart" by Merz, The Avengers soundtrack tosses together oh-so-usual bits of ska (Suggs from Madness), alternative rock (Dishwalla) and "electronica" (Roni Size) that fail to set the mood. The anticipated Ashtar Command tracks, one featuring ex-Veruca Salt singer Louise Post; the other, Sinead O'Connor, are little more than novelty collaborations. Individually, each Avengers track delivers, but the Verve Pipe's mediocre "Blow You Away" proves that they should have called in some swinging Brits like Pulp or Suede for this mission. --Liisa Ladouceur
