"OK, I noticed that no-where on this page does it actually tell you that the CD case is Pink crushed velvet on the outside with the Spy who sh@#ged me logo and the inside has a black velvet bit where the CD goes and a realy cool silver shiney pocket with austin on it for the sleve. I didn't find this out until it fell through the door into my waiting hands. The songs are good too :-)Donny."
Not like the actual movie's soundtrack...

"When I first saw the movie I was psyched to get the soundtrack; I mean, so many great songs... Magic Carpet Ride, Time for All Seasons, Let's Get It On... Unfortunately none of them turned out to be on this CD. There are a few good songs, but it's really not the same feel as you get from the music when actually watching the film. It seems that Vol 2 of this CD would be pretty good from the track listings, but I don't actually have a copy. My advice: if you are going to buy one CD this year: make it vol 2. But if you are going to buy two, vol 1 is decent too."
Soundtrack of some of the film

"Many ofthe songs from the film do not appear on the soundtrack leaving it void of some of the rocking tunes that featured. The absence of these songs is noticable on the CD as it leaves it with less memorable songs."
Groovy Baby, yeah!!!!!!

"By far one of the best soundtracks that I currently own. 'Beautiful Stranger' describes the holidays I just got back from. Such a wicked song. Madonna rocks!!!! 'American Woman' is probably one of the best re-made versions of any song that was ever re-done. Scary Spice has an awesome solo career about to happen I think. She rocks as well. This CD if filled with awesome tunes. A definite must-have for any music lover."
MADONNA. Need I say more!!!!

""Beautiful Stranger", is quite the comeback since "Take A Bow", as a fan I pray that this track will become her 12th No.1 single. No more Mariah (I can't get an apartment in New York)Carey or Celine Dion. If the record company gets off their ass and releases a single commercially there is the chance. As for the rest of the soundtrack. Let me see. Well, if you bought a cassette, you got a lot of extra tape to record all of your other favorite songs after "Beautiful Stranger". Scary Spice, has got more issues than Sports Illustrated trying to remake the funk classic "Word Up" by: Cameo. R.E.M is better off writing their own material and not singing at all, and Lenny Kravitz has that nasty song on his album "5" which is enough. Madonna carries this album, but Austin Powers is awesome too. Congratulations Mike Myers on an awesome sequel. Madonna knew she could carry this soundtrack because of her large following as for everyone else on the soundtrack I have to give her props for being charitable to her fellow peers in the music industry. She knows she is the DIVA, and they are her clones. GO GIRL. 17 years and counting.......webogirl/publishing on top still...."
