"I RARELY give 5 stars to any cd, but this one deserves it! Lousy with sensuality, the selected melodies will hold you in their sway long after the music has ended. The "Body Heat" theme is a haunter from "Born Free" composer John Barry.
Another stunner,"The Theme From Taxi Driver," recalls Bernard Herrmann's best work on "Vertigo." But all these compositions are memorable melodies. One interesting note, in the film version of "Calling You" from "Bagdad Cafe," the song is sung by a female vocalist. In this rendition, Bob Telson's ("The Gospel at Colonus") masterpiece is voiced by a man; suprisingly, it works."

"Some favorites on here include 'Body Heat', 'Farewell my Lovely', the theme from Taxi Driver (I can see Travis Bickle's eyes in the mirror every time this one plays) and 'Memories of Green', the theme from Blade Runner. Play this one often enough, you'll be willing to off a few replicants yourself. This is a great CD to play when you don't have to answer the phone, when you can relax. There's better jazz around out there, but you'll have to go looking for it. If you consider some of the 'classic' jazz albums as a great single malt scotch...this one is at least Chivas. An extrafine blend that satisfys without offending anyone. And there's something to be said for that."

"I accidently purchased this CD 8 years ago and I have to say it was one of the best mistakes I have ever made! An unbelievable recording. Each song is an elixir, drawing you into a most mellow mood. Break out some fine wine, get your sweetheart, lay back and enjoy. A remarkable CD"
Put champagne on ice and grab the one you love

"This sensual music melts on the tongue. I put the CD player on continual play late at night and watch what happens. I was longing for the BODY HEAT soundtrack and this collection bridged the gap nicely until it came out recently. Not a bad track on the disc."
Phew!!
