レビュー (Amazon)
With a new series of Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) starring the comedy duo Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer (still very much among the living, thank you) plus Emilia Fox (as Hopkirk's fiancee) and Tom Baker (as next-world advisor, Wyvern), the BBC has turned an old sitcom into a pop culture event. Though the show's reviews have been missed, no one can argue with the credentials of those involved--and the same goes for the soundtrack. David Arnold and the Cardigans' Nina Persson kick things off with the series' theme, a gloriously lush affair that sparks off white suits and cocktail parties; Basement Jaxx follow that up with a mambo-ish tune that, while not living up to their dance hits, has enough Jaxx-ish flair to succeed as a pop tune. James rescues the guitar riff from Michael Jackson's "Black or White" (a strange place for them to find inspiration, surely), Pulp and the Swingle Sisters contribute an ethereal "My Body May Die" (with Howie B credited for the remix), though it's nowhere near as spacey as The Orb's beautiful "Hamlet of Kings". A collection of nice tunes to back up the glorious theme song, though hardly essential, Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) makes an excellent companion to the TV series. --Randy Silver
