レビュー (Amazon)
This release starts with a confusing hodgepodge of Marvin Gaye ("You're A Wonderful One"), James Brown ("Super Bad, Super Slick"), Perry Como ("And I Love You So"), and Cubanismo! ("Mambo U.K."). The last song--Johnny Rivers' "Secret Agent Man"--clicks into place with its warped James Bond guitar riff. It must have been a musical "clue" for composer Thomas Newman, who then starts his half of the album with a cue in five parts clearly owing much to Christopher Young's The Man Who Knew Too Little, itself influenced by Henry Mancini. Bass and electric guitar show off together, before a moog synth and horn set kick-in. It's a case of cooling up and dumbing down the cinematic character in the movie. It's also fun listening to Newman doing Young doing Henry Mancini. Also watch for the Wild Things slinkiness in "Chubby Rain"--the guitar and warbling horns played through an echoplex break out from the "Bowfinger Band" style for a short while. Such small devices help Eddie Murphy out of what otherwise put him back into Beverly Hills Cop musical territory. --Paul Tonks
