Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Very good, just too outdated Comment: ..and I'd stand by that comment, through and through. This is a good album, catchy and well worth listening to. The music's rhythmic and dancy, the tracks are actually featured in the film, and the lyrics are ones to sing along to. There are tracks you'll recognise - Glenn Frey and The Heat Is On; the Axel F synth theme itself - and tracks you'll know to have become famous having been in the movie. But there lies the problem. They would have been chart releases nearly twenty years ago. We'd have danced to them and heard them on the radio - back in 1984. These would have been great songs to own, if you'd been buying them at the time vinyl was in its prime. But as it is, if you purchase this CD now, you'll be paying however much for songs that would have disappeared a long time ago. And that might prove a problem. Not that it honestly matters, though. There are decent tracks on this album, and that's the main thing. And if you an Eighties freak, this soundtrack might be the highlight of your collection (however sad that might be). I suppose it all boils down to one thing: watch the film, listen to the music, and see whether you like it. Nothing else can help you make a decision, not this review, not the promotional stuff on this website. And hey, when it comes right down to it, it's only a few pounds right? Most albums end up sitting on the shelf, anyway. Customer Rating: Summary: worthwhile Comment: "Beverly Hills Cop" was the movie that thrust Eddie Murphy into the big time and not only is the movie fast paced, but so is the soundtrack which mainly features an uptempo dance style. The album includes danceable r and b tracks such as "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters, "New Attitude" by Patti Labelle, "The Heat Is On" by Glenn Frey, "Don't Get Stopped In Beverly Hills" by Shalamar as well as the movie's theme (and one of the most recognisable themes of all time) the brilliant "Axel F" by Harold Faltemeyer. Both the movie and the soundtrack were incredibly successful and it's not hard to see why, as after one listen you'll be glad you bought the album. Thankfully there are no Eddie Murphy tracks here and you will probably remember the movie and what a great feel the songs in the movie gave it, well all those songs are included here and if you liked the music that played throughout the movie there is no doubt you will enjoy the album. This album is simply one of the best soundtrack albums of all time and is a must buy. More Reviews
