The musical soundtrack for Sex and the City is every bit as romantic and glitzy as you might expect from the racy HBO TV series. Soulful grooves and slinky, seductive pop tunes run the gamut from the 1970s disco of Moloko's "The Time Is Now," on which falsetto vocals and lush strings underline the track, to the old-time R&B feel of Joan Osborne's "Righteous Love." Nearly everyone on board is in a sentimental mood. Country star Trisha Yearwood delivers the piano torch ballad "For Only You," while Aimee Mann contributes "Calling It Quits," a literate shuffle in the Elvis Costello vein. The Dust Brothers revive the 1976 Andrea True Connection hit "More More More." An expert on sex moves and never one to miss a chance to update his sound, Tom Jones receives the "Peppermint Jam Mix" for "Sexbomb" (featuring Mousse T), a tune as subtle as its title suggests. The Sex and the City score goes down perfect with a bottle of fine wine and candlelight--and a little backup Barry White, just in case. --Rob O'Connor

Great Highlights, Disappointed and Wanting More.......2006-07-03
I have written HBO about releasing songs from the series including the theme song. My inside source states licensing issues are to blame. I wished for a soundtrack of around five cds with the defining songs of the six seasons. I want more.
SEX AND THE CITY.......2006-03-29
I WAS VERY SAD, BECAUSE I BUY THIS CD WHISHING TO HEAR THE SEX AND THE CITY MAIN THEME, BUT IT WASNT. ONE OF THE TRACKS HAS THIS NAME BUT IS COMPLETE DIFERENT. I WAS VERY DISAPONTED.
MANUEL
Not worth it.......2006-03-19
I was very disappointed, especially with the SATC theme song, it is not the original. Almost all the songs I don't ever recall being on the series. Save your money! I am a die hard SATC fan and sad to say I lost my money on this one, I should have read the reviews first, my mistake.
YOU WILL SURVIVE!!!!.......2006-03-07
More Sex and the City inspired music PLEASE! This CD collection is a funky listen to on those stay at home nights once a month. It's got some Manhattan-style girl power behind the lyrical assembly ... and defintley play this CD after a break-up. It will inspire you to run off and chase your dreams in New York or California or elsewhere.
Why is it not possible..........2005-07-06
...for someone to produce an album that actually bares any kind of reflection to the series? There were some great tracks used during the six series, modern and classics tracks alike.
So why are none of those here? I mean I love some of the tracks here but when where they in the show, ever?
This album, to be fair, does a better job than the latter one which featured the likes of Britney Spears, I mean come on!
But wouldn't it be nice to find out that some one had produced an album that was a chronological resume of all the great tracks from season one through six. Maybe then we might feel we had a "Sex and the City" album and were not just being cynically exploited for a fast buck!

Chicago-based Carlos Villalobos has created a romantic, danceable music made up of flamenco guitar and percussive overlays on La Esperanza or "The Hope." There are reminiscences of the Gipsy Kings in here but Villalobos makes a recognizable niche through these instrumentals that are introspective, urgent, and quietly uplifting all at the same time. The album dips where the Spanish flavor moves aside for a smooth jazz feel, but this is rare enough to boldly interrupt listenability. The appearance by singer Glenn Medeiros was enjoyable, but real highlights include "Gabriella's Lullaby" for its tropical melody and expert brush work (although it's unclear from the credits whether this was programmed or played by Villalobos himself), "Teaser" for its emotional vibrancy and percussion, and "Sueños," which dips into worldbeat waters. Overall, La Esperanza pleases well with energetic rhythms and vigorous expert guitar--not bad for an album whose biggest flaw is its jacket's rather dull, two-page list of grateful acknowledgements! --Karen Karleski
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful Flamenco Style Music.......2007-03-12
La Esperanza quickly became one of my favorite groups, especially when I want to listen to music to relax. Fantastic guitar playing! (I wish they had more CDs. If you have to choose between this one and Esperanza II, buy this one.) Gypsy Flame by Armik is in the same genre. You will enjoy listening to both.
I always play this CD when entertaining as it sets the ambience for parties where people want to just relax and talk and family and friends enjoy listening to it.
Unmistakably the best soulful flamenco music around.......2007-03-09
I had bought this album, some years ago and lost it, and just recently re purchased it, the music still today is timeless. I can honestly say that this is one of my favourite albums, the way the boys have mixed the sounds of flamenco and in some instances sounds of nature, especially in "Without You", its incredible. These guys are very talented musicians and am surprised there is not alot more of their stuff around, maybe thats what makes it all the more special and rare.
Great listening.......2006-11-04
Beautiful music and beautiful guitar pieces that are ideal for easy listening or latin dancing. My realtor friend wants to use to play in home tours. I told her where I got it.
Great Album.......2005-07-25
I expected the Album to be good and was not dissapointed Enjoyed every bit of it.
HOT EAR CANDY !.......2000-04-02
In July of 1999 this cd pulled me in...it is so seductive and bewitching. If a mans passion for a woman can be expressed through his guitar, this is what it sounds like. These tunes make you want to get up and dance or get down and dirty! My favorite songs are Teaser and Suenos..."te quiero"...This cd will ignite flames of desire and you'll need to hear it again and again!

Not What You Expected.......2003-06-06
I bought this CD because it was on sale, and it seemed like a good deal. Honestly, I think the purchase was worth it just for the Sex and the City theme, but every other song on the disc is just a cover, in other words, the original artists are nowhere to be found in the vocal recordings, but I guess thats why they can sell the disc at such a cheap price.
Be Warned..........2002-08-08
Although this cd may look promising, be warned. None of the songs on this cd are even sung by the original artists and the theme song is WAY too short. If you're a fan of all things Sex & The City like I am, stay far away from this so called "compilation disc" which is more of an insult then it is enjoyable. The people who sing these songs do an ok enough job, but it's just too kareoke and not worth anyone's money. One way you can tell the cd is fishy is that the cd itself says "music inspired by" which means these songs aren't even featured on the show. Granted, they should also put that sticker on the official Sex & The City cd, but at least that cd is good; even if a little disappointing. I'm anticipating a Volume 2 which will hopefully feature the show's theme which is now even appearing in a cereal commercial. Why it's on there and not on any of these soundtracks is beyond me, but if you are going to buy one, I urge you to pay more for the official disc and leave this trash in the cheap bin. The only thing good about this disc is it's comedic value for trying to fool us buyers into thinking the lady on the front of the cd is Sarah Jessica Parker.
Don't Be Fooled!.......2002-03-17
The first 'song' is a snipet only - a very short version of the Sex and the City Theme Song. The rest of the songs are good songs, but they are not performed by the original artists. Most of them sound ..OK, but some of them sound a bit off. It could be because of being trained to the versions the 'real' artists sing(i.e. This Kiss and Breathe are not performed by Faith Hill and you can tell because the voices just are not strong or 'technically improved' I guess you could say). I really wanted this CD for the theme song - it's so catchy. The only way to get a good tast of it would be to hit the repreat button about 10 times.

Beautiful, Romantic Music!.......2006-09-09
Like many others, I discovered this CD because of Sex in the City and LOVE it. If "Anna" is the song that appeals to you, you'll be absolutely swept away by Regina Carter's Paganini, which is exquisite and was also played on the show.
Sex and the City.......2006-04-08
Looks like a good bit of people bought this for the same reason. Anna from the end episode "La Douleur Exquise!" of season 2 of Sex and the City. Aparently other songs from teh CD were in the show too.
I had to do a good bit of googling before I finally found out the song and artist. Listening to the whole song is no disappointment...
...however the other CDs advertized by this artest seem inordinanly different... I heard somewhere that this song was made because it did a better job of representing what the artists grandmother would have liked (who gave him everything she owned when she passed away simply because she loved the fact that he wanted to study music)...
Anyhow, the end result was a very good song.
Quite brilliant!.......2005-09-09
Like a lot of other people, my intention in purchasing this album was to hear the 'Anna' track that I had heard and fallen for on a particular Sex and the City episode. Turns out the rest of the tracks are just as magnificent. I'd highly recommend this to anyone seeking some truly touching and pleasant sounds.
Beautiful.......2005-08-18
I first heard Gunnar Madsen on Sex and the City. I couldn't figure out what song it was, but I would play it over and over with Carrie's voice over and everything. Then I figured out it was "Anna" and a moment later bought this CD. It is better than I expected, only having heard "Anna." I play this CD all the time. It is perfect for when I'm reading, driving, cooking, doing anything. It's fabulous!
I just got this CD on a lark, and I love it.......2004-12-05
This CD is amazing, It is my favorite music to cook to, and I am a great cook. Wonderful. I am buying one for my mom now.

Enchanting Chill music.......2006-03-19
I came across this CD at a music festival booth. I asked the vendor what would be good for massage, as I am a CMT. He popped The Dreaming into a CD and I listened for about 5 minutes before I was hooked.
Just about every one of the songs on the CD is amazing. An incredible mix of Middle Eastern rhythms, ethereal voices, and otherwordly ambience. People ask me all the time what I am playing when I use this CD for my massage sessions. I recently got a DJ friend into this music, and he's in the process of acquiring all 4 CDs by this duo.
My absolute favourite song is Dmaot Malach. When I listen to it with my boyfriend, it feels like we're a million miles away from the world.
We're major fans of Zero 7 and Sound Tribe Sector 9, and this CD is also with us on any trip or evening together.
So Much More Than Expected.......2005-09-22
I had heard several tracks from this CD and was excited about receiving it, however, I was blown away by the fact that I LOVED EVERY TRACK on it. Not only from the point of view of a fan of fabulous music, but from the fact that I can use the music in the psychotherapeutic exercises I facilitate (Breathwork and tantra therapy). Every track is hugely evocative and transporting and the sequence of the tracks is perfect. Couldn't be happier about a music purchase.
Subtle, melodic and definitely spiritual.......2005-02-22
One of our teacher at the yoga studio put this music during a class. Suddenly, everything was different, everything was flowing with grace and I would feel going deep into myself as the poses went.
But you don't need to practice yoga to like it. It's real music and the soul and the inspiration are there.
Fabulous album - one of my favorites.......2004-12-01
I found this CD in a yoga shop and bought it without knowing anything about it. it was one of the best purchases i made! The soft and melodic tracks, with sophisticated rhythms and beats underneath are perfect to play around the house, and especially when working. I'm a graphic designer, and we play this CD all the time in the studio. It really helps the creative flow...! And what's interesting is that i don't seem to be getting tired of it, i just keep discovering new layers and depth.
It's a wonderful CD, i highly recommend it.

The Top 40 in Topkapi.......2007-04-20
Petrol Presents,for once,gets it right."Sex,City,Music:Istanbul" is one of those Arabian nights,harem-friendly hits.It's just the right combination of trip-hop,trance,ambient,and sensual grooves.
Aziza A,Sultana,and Orient Expressions blend Turkish grooves with contemporary sounds,as heady as mint tea.The creative "Buzz-phorus in secrecy" by Oguz Kaplangi and "Music" by Demian are part of the variety.Brooklyn Funk's "Istanbul in Twilight" mixes reggae with Turkish sounds.
This is pure Turkish Delight!

Creates Atmosphere Without Being Intrusive.......2006-08-29
These CDs are a cool mix of jazz and pop style music. All songs are instrumental and have that "Sex and the City", busy city girl feeling. The back of the CD lets you know which season and which episode each song came from so if you are looking for the background, instrumental music played in the show, this is it. This CD is great to play at work or even at home to create atmosphere while entertaining guests.

St.Tropez does not bring sexy back.......2007-04-20
According to Star magazine, celebrities such as Kylie Minogue&Pink loooove "The Sex,the City,the Music" compilations. How nice to see I'm not the only one into world music.However,MOST of the "Sex,City,Music" compilations are dumbed-down world music,Generic Techno with occasional hints of the countries they're from.
The St.Tropez compilation is no different,with its painfully skinny model on the front,sunning herself in Southern France;it's Generic Techno,with some French thrown in like a dash of herbes de provence.Its few highlights are Barbara Carlotti's acoustic "Peu importe",the Brazilian bossa nova-sounding "Jacques" of Klement Julienne,and the trip-hop of Karl Heinz Schafer's "Kidnapping" and Linky's "Ce Matin La."
Now,onto le flops. Le sigh. Vegomatic (a band aptly named for a Ron Popeil product) has the annoying "French Up",an endless loop of French pickup lines. "Kiss Moi" is a cheesy French novelty song,more humorous than erotic,evoking Jerry Lewis,whom the French adore.Her Majesty's Sound's "I am a lady" sounds as if it were rightly cut from the "Casino Royale" soundtrack because it was too annoying for the sexy Daniel Craig&Eva Green."3,4,5,6,7" is repetition;again,it's supposed to be sexy,but it's bad.As Dragon's "Un Hemisphere Chevelure" attempts sexiness with its singer's heavy-breathing (perhaps it's a cold)."Countryside" and "Scheherazade Mon Amour" sound like rejects from a James Bond soundtrack.
"The Sex,the City,the Music:St.Tropez" is NOT bringing sexy back.It's bringing sleazy Generic Techno back.
