Editorial Reviews

Tamara Davis's Slums of Beverly Hills steers clear of the clichéd '70s music that could have made its soundtrack indistinguishable from a host of similar period pieces. The spotlight here is on the original music composed by Rolfe Kent and conducted by William Stromberg. It's a heady, minimalist lounge-nouveau soundscape, liberally spattered with mandolin and vibraphone that comes up just inches short of seedy, much like the film itself. An uneven collection of old faves rounds out the package. Where else could you find Parliament sharing the bill with Perry Como, or Three Dog Night's laidback pop next to the saccharine honky-tonk of Freddy Fender? The unsurpassable Motown groove of Ike and Tina completes this odd assortment of classics. Musical highlights from the film include Marisa Tomei and Natasha Lyonne extolling the virtues of autoerotism to the tune of "Give Up the Funk" and would-be Sinatra David Krumholtz mutilating "Luck Be a Lady" wearing only his tattered BVDs--what a bod on that guy! Hollywood, beware--a new star is born. --Melissa Axelrod and Terry Zwigoff

4 out of 5 stars Nothing amazing, but a few gems........2003-10-21

Not hard to believe this is out of print. The movie was good, but didn't make much of a splash. It's your typical soundtrack. Some great, some not. The best tracks on this are "I'd Love to Change the World", "Shambala", and "Let Your Love Flow", all recognizable classic rock if you heard them. There's an oldie from "Perry Como" that most people would know too. The rest is ok, or compositions from the film. I'd get this if your a fan of the movie, you like the songs mentioned, and you found it used.
