"Easy to bash because the movie was a coke-inducted disco nightmare (though its fun for its camp value) but the soundtrack is another story. Both ELO and Olivia were in their prime when this album was made and I personally love both halves of the album."  Reply

"Many fans of metal, myself included, see an obvious connection between metal and orchestral music. This is a great experiment in actually merging the two.

"Released originally in 1965, this album featured eleven tracks by the smooth singing Brazilian; the Verve Record Label supplemented the original album with 14 more Astrud Gilberto sung tunes in 1990 and released the new offering in the Verve The Silver Collection, maintaining the original album n..."  [+]  Reply

"I guess you can never have too much Funky Drummer. I liked the sampled music on this, as well as the non-sampled beats and bass. For me the production is what made the album good, while the rapping was just all right. Then again I'm not a hip hop fan but I liked this a lot."  Reply

"Fantastic album! Have no idea why people would rate it so low. Maybe it's because they don't understand the language? Well that's just silly because Italian Prog is some of the best prog ever."  Reply
