Inspired by a UK bankcard ad and daring to encroach on the shadow of the Austin Powers franchise, this Bond film satire may well end up as The Spoof That Got Left in the Cold. But in perfect contrast to star Rowan Atkinson's broad physical humor, composer Edward Shearmur delivers a deliciously deadpan musical score that skewers the 007 canon from twangy-guitar main theme to romantic Euro interludes and action-packed chases. Anchored by Robbie Williams' suitably earnest mock Bond-song "A Man For All Seasons" and seasoned with evocative tracks of Moloko's electronica and the suitably named Bond's classics-meets-worldbeat sensibilities, Shearmur's score brings it all to a satisfying conclusion on "Agent No. 1," where the former Pink Floyd/Shakespeare's Sister sideman showcases his own considerable synth and keyboard skills. --Jerry McCulley

Excelent Soundtrack...........2006-07-04

This soundtrack Johnny English is very inspirational you can sit down put on your headphones and enjoy the music the first track with Robin Williams is a very relaxing song i think that it makes a very good main titles theme..

When you watch the film and listen to the soundtrack you remember the funny scenes of the movie.

I hope they make Johnny English Movie i can see a Sequel

Not Bond, but not bad..........2005-11-23

The themes for "Johnny English" are quite good and very nice to listen to. So yes, when you listen to them, images of Rowan Atkinson ARE going to form in your head, but it's generally a very cool soundtrack. The first track, "A Man of all Seasons" by Robbie Williams is nice and is definitly a sing-along song!
If you liked this movie and are a fan of espionage type music, you'll probably enjoy this album.

Quite a fun CD to listen to........2005-09-19

I personally enjoyed the movie, and soon found the soundtrack via Amazon.com. I couldn't find it anywhere else, so I was glad I did. In my opinion, it is a CD that you can listen to time and time again. The first track, entitled "A Man For All Seasons" by Robbie Williams made a great opening credits theme, and it a fun song to get the CD going. I recommend this CD to anyone who has seen and enjoyed the movie.

The best soundtrack I've ever heard..........2004-02-06

I love this soundtrack. It's loud and clear and swinging and perfect music for the movie. I love it more every time I play it (which is often). (It's great to play it at work when the stress gets too much.)

Contemporary Russian Orthodoxy.......2005-12-13

This album is for sophisticated listeners who already know their way around Russian music, and specifically around the Russian sacred choral tradition, at least more than just a little. (NOTE: By `sophisticated,' I do not mean to hint that the music on this album is obscure, dissonant, weird, inaccessible, etc. With the exception of Nos. 1 - 4 and 8 - 11, however, these selections are just lesser known - and undeservedly so.) This recording serves as fitting evidence that the Russian Orthodox choral tradition did NOT die when the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917. To the contrary, this tradition was maintained and revived by many of the composers represented on this album. The album's producers thoughtfully begin with some better known selections: a traditional chant, Tchaikovsky, Arkhangel'sky, Chesnokov and Ippolitov-Ivanov. But even in the case of Chesnokov - who makes a fitting bridge between the `choked off' tradition of the Soviet era and the present - the selections include a triptych of para-liturgical choral essays. (His `Angel Cried,' selection No. 10 on this album, is worth the purchase price alone. If you've never heard this work before, prepare to be transfigured!) Recording No. 11, the best known liturgical composition of Ippolitov-Ivanov, represents this choir's final genuflection to the `traditional' Russian sacred choral tradition, and then we're off! Agafonnikov, Lebedev and Kikta are all living composers who continue to make contributions to this genre. The late Alfred Schnittke, better known for his symphonic, operatic and other modern classical (secular) achievements, is also represented here - given possibly more than his fair share on this CD because of name recognition. If anyone who should be here is missing, that would be Georgiy Sviridov, who wrote a number of stunning para-liturgical pieces in the Russian Orthodox style; but Sviridov's choral work is well-represented elsewhere in the Russian Orthodox (and related) discography. I could raise other quibbles, but that would be unfair. Finally, the performers are equal to the music - suffice it to say that this is one of the finest professional choirs in today's Russia. If the Russian Orthodox liturgical tradition speaks to you, and if you've already become acquainted with the big names (Bortnyansky, Tchaikovsky, Rakhmaninov, etc.) then this recording is definitely for you.

One for Slint fans.......2000-07-18

Immense have clearly spent time listening to Slint. The same signatures that permeate 'Spiderland' are present on their terrific debut album: quiet/loud guitars, choppy time signatures, lack of vocals (the album is wholly instrumental). And while 'Evil Ones and Zeroes' is not as good as 'Spiderland' (but then, that may be the best album ever recorded) it is still a terrific effort, full of haunting and compelling music. Terrific live band, too - shame they are so unknown that only half a dozen people ever go to see them.
