Amazon.co.uk Mike Myers’s love letter to mid-1960s pop kitsch (and understated critique of the hardcore 1990s) 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 1960s and 90s influences that are by turns infectiously silly (the Powers-fronted Ming Tea’s earnestly energetic “BBC”) and downright sublime (Burt Bacharach and the Posies’ new take on “What the World Needs Now”). Cuts by acid-jazz powerhouse The James Taylor Quartet, the Diviynls, Quincy Jones, the Cardigans and others round out the decidedly groovy proceedings. –Jerry McCulley Product description CD: The Cardigans / Edwyn Collins a.o.,Austin Powers – International Man Of Mys
