not what I was expecting - By: knocked out '73 woke up, 10 Jun 2008

Nice mix - By: , 03 Apr 2005 
A pretty cool compilation, some great lesser known tracks from well known artists.
I especially like the mo-town sounding little richard track & th sinatra track 'When I was 17'.
A great CD to put on as back ground music when doing your household chores!
A dish best served cold - By: Markyp, 31 Jul 2003 
OK corny title but what do you expect from a soundtrack inspired by one of the hippest & meanest programmes ever to have emerged from the stables of HBO (Barring OZ) The Sopranos has some of the coolest tunes on one CD. As well as getting the theme tune by Scottish band A3 other tunes of distinction include the classic Frank Sinatra track It Was A Very Good Year (brings a lump to my throat & tears to my eyes, Nick Lowe's The Beast In Me & the Eurythmic's I've Tried Everything.
No home should be without this.... Or should I send the boys round!!!!!!
The perfect accompaniement to New Jersey Mafia life - By: , 20 Aug 2000 What the producers would have found most difficult when compiling this soundtrack must have not been the original choice of incidental music but the paring down of the wealth of material used on the TV show to a 55-minute CD.
What we have as the result of their work is a rag-tag band of different styles of music which segue into each other with no warning. Although the soundtrack keeps coming apart at the seamsin terms of playing order, it is impossible not to sit back & ignore the fact that what you are listening to is perfectin tone to a slice of New Jersey Mafia life.
The first half of the CD is so pitch-perfect that you can forgive the inclusion of Los Lobos & Wyclef Jean which mar an otherwise equal second half.
To kick off with A3's "Woke Up This Morning" & journey through Mafia stalwart/favourite Frank Sinatra, an eclectic Bob Dylan & soulful Nick Lowe before finishing on a soft & poignant note with The Eurythmics is a very rewarding listen. Whether it will be to everyone's taste will be another matter. If not, I think we need Tony, Pussy & Spider to do a little persuading.....
