...This score by Vangelis is far superior to his 1981 oscar winning score for Chariots of Fire because it compliments the exquisite looking images and futuristically grungy atmosphere that pervade Ridley Scotts seminal film. In fact I've never seen a film where the music fits so perfectly all the way through. From the gorgeously mystical opening synth chords accompanying those initial stunning images of 21stcentury LA, to the pounding, unforgettable end title. And I think the erotic and dreamy love theme played by a smoother than a baby's bum saxophone is totally spellbinding, but like the rest of the music, never intrudes on the action(like all the best scores). The soundtrack is the finishing touch to a masterpiece....

Advantages: Great pop songs, summer feel, still Dodgy-esque Disadvantages: The recycled paper CD case - it won't last much longer
...The demise of Dodgy went with the death of Britpop, when their lead singer and bassist Nigel Clark decided the pop charts and 'hit' singles wasn't 'Good Enough' for three hippies from the midlands.
Since 1998 Nige has moved out of London, got married, had children, and finally found the time to build a home studio and do what he does best - write catchy numbers and play good music!
And this is just what Dodgy fans have been waiting for - Clark has stuck to the same formula that helped him notch up 8 top 20 singles and a number 1 album in the 90's. Wearing his influences on his sleeve, the Beach Boys twist of single '21stCentury Man', the Northern Soul-touched 'Sometimes', the summer folk of Northern Lights'... every song could be a single, every song a sing-along.
Possibly released a few months too early, this is a record that sounds...
