Austin
Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - Music From The Motion Picture[SOUNDTRACK]
Various
Artists - 1999
Austin Powers may be a remnant
of the '60s, but the soundtrack for his second film spans generations.
Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello light into the former's "I'll Never Fall
in Love Again," with trumpet and piano creating a plush aura. Quincy Jones
and His Orchestra provide the perfectly campy "Soul Bossa Nova." Mike Myers
himself gets into the fray as Dr. Evil for a humorous take on Bill Withers's
"Just the Two of Us" and R.E.M. successfully updates Tommy James's
"Draggin' the Line." Madonna teams up with William Orbit for "Beautiful
Stranger." Green Day turns in "Espionage," an instrumental that harkens
back to cheesy action movies and the Batman theme. Big Blue Missile with
Scott Weiland attempts to modernize the Zombies' "Time of the Season" with
extra drum beats. But it's pure imitation. The real thing can be found
in the Flaming Lips track, the pure-liquid LSD psychedelic pop of "Buggin'." |
Austin
Powers: Original Soundtrack Audio CD ~ George S. Clinton
Mike Myers's love letter to
mid-'60s pop kitsch may not have wowed many critics, but it soldiered quirkily
along to become a true cult hit. Its soundtrack is one of the film's more
underrated charms--a savvy mix of '60s and '90s influences that are by
turns infectiously silly and downright sublime. Cuts by acid-jazz powerhouse
The James Taylor Quartet, The Diviynls, Quincy Jones, Cardigans and others
round out the decidedly groovy proceedings. |

Powers - International Man of Mystery DVD (New Line Platinum Series) (1997)
It's a smashing shagadelic party
as Mike Myers and Elizabeth Hurley star in a non-stop, hilarious comedy
adventure. Frozen in the 60's, secret agent Austin Powers (Myers) is thawed
back into action to once again battle his archenemy Dr. Evil. With his
sexy sidekick Ms. Kensington (Hurley), Austin must stop Dr. Evil's outrageous
plot to control the world. But first, this time warped swinger must get
hip quick and discover that there's no free love in the 90's! An all-star
supporting cast including Michael York, Robert Wagner, Mimi Rogers and
Carrie Fisher make Austin Powers a wacky, far-out trip you won't forget. |
Austin
Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me - New Line Platinum Series (1999)
"I put the grrr in swinger, baby!"
a deliciously randy Austin Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who
Shagged Me, and if the imagination of Austin creator Mike Myers seems to
have sagged a bit, his energy surely hasn't. This friendly, go-for-broke
sequel to 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery finds our
man Austin heading back to the '60s to keep perennial nemesis Dr. Evil
(Myers again) from blowing up the world--and, more importantly, to get
back his mojo, that man-juice that turns Austin into irresistible catnip
for women, especially American spygirl Felicity Shagwell (a pretty but
vacant Heather Graham). The plot may be irreverent and illogical, the jokes
may be bad (with characters named Ivana Humpalot and Robin Swallows, née
Spitz), and the scenes may run on too long, but it's all delivered sunnily
and with tongue firmly in cheek. |
