Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Thomas Crown Affair is a caper story with a new (well, retread) twist: Pierce Brosnan plays a guy who can afford virtually anything, so he attempts to get something he can't, a Monet. It's a movie fitting of a polished, well-produced soundtrack, which is exactly what this disc delivers. Sting's previously unreleased version of the famous theme song "Windmills Of Your Mind" lacks the suave psychedelic flair of Noel Harrison's original version (he won an Oscar for the song on the original Thomas Crown soundtrack), but should please his fans. Nina Simone's classic "Sinnerman" is a welcome contribution, and Wasis Diop's "Caban La Ka Kratchie" is a steamy world fusion tune. Bill Conti's score--varying from pulsating piano compositions to smooth jazz--rounds out the rest of this short soundtrack. For most, the real attraction here is the Sting cut. --Jason Verlinde

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 5 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thomas Crown Affair (Audio CD)
I bought this after watching the film and thinking what a cool collection of music. I was not disappointed. The recording of Sinnerman by Nina Simone is incredible, dramatic yet smooth, as are the various piano solo's that litter the album. Sting's "Windmill Of My Mind' is another strong track. If you like cool jazz like music, you will LOVE this - its superb!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool, jazzy...mmm, nice!, 26 Nov 2001
This review is from: The Thomas Crown Affair (Audio CD)
A short but sweet collection of original music and quality songs, that all feels like part of the whole, often a characteristic lacking in soundtracks of this kind. Conti's score is tight, trim and neatly performed and produced. It sounds lively and vibrant in places, relaxed, almost subdued in others. Simone's performance of 'Sinnerman' stands out from the pack as a superb jazz standard, and sits as the jewel in the crown of a rather nice, jazzy soundtrack, which is very listenable indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly wonderful CD, even if you've never seen the film, 16 Feb 2005
By AE Hunter (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Thomas Crown Affair (Audio CD)
I really wanted this sound track, mainly because after seeing the film I couldn't get "Windmills of my mind" by Sting or "Sinnerman" by Nina Simmone out of my head (Yes I know they were performed originally by different artists but I like the versions by those artists!)

The CD is wonderful, though not in the order of the film, the tracks are superb and provoke excellent memories of a superb film.

However, seeing the film is not necessary here, this CD would sit well on anyone's shelf, with a fantastically romantic track by Wasis Diop and the superb orchesteral pieces to relax or inspire you.

This is the best CD I have listened to in ages.
