ALBUM REVIEW:

Remember Harold Faltermeyer’s Axel F in Beverly Hill Cops before Crazy Frog? Ever wanted to run along the beach dragging a tyre – do ingest 40 egg yolks before that – with Eye of the Tiger playing on your ipod?

Now thanks to the good people behind the Best Movie Hits compilation, you can finally use the Ghostbusters theme song to psyche yourself up for work and hum along to Unchained Melody before art class.

Forty of the most recognizable movie songs are available here. Heck, some songs are so recognizable that I do not recognize their real song titles – I always thought that Phil Collins song is called Take A Look At Me Now. With the current overabundance of rap/punk/indie songs decorating movie soundtracks these days, it is good to fall back on solid pop ballads and remember a time when kitsch is not a parody.

ALBUM RATING:



Recommeded Track: (13) Reality - Richard Sanderson
