Anyone who watched the series "life on mars" will be instantly drawn to this cd. Not the obvious choices for representative music of the decade (70's), but a wonderful eclectic mix of hits i.e. "tokoloshe man" by John Kongos, "devil's answer" by Atomic rooster, to name two. Add to these some atmospheric tracks evidently picked to smooth over the various scenes of the programme, "snow flower" by ananda shankar. The compiler of this compilation evidently had great fun sifting through what is a sometimes derided era of music. why I rated good and not excellent points to the dialogue. Three pieces, beginning, middle and end, simply aren't enough. Good as they are, showing the razor sharp script and delivery of Philip Glenister, more of the same al a "The Sweeney" from a few years ago could not but enhance the work. Finally, as a vinyl lover, a full blown double gatefold album, with photos and artwork would send this soundtrack into orbit, Steve Bayliss aka baggieswestbromRead full review
A fine set of seventies throwbacks that even Gene Hunt would approve of ! All the tracks were part of the BBC series "Life on Mars" about a detective who accidentally goes back in time to 1973. These tracks really set the scene well in the TV programme which portrays hard men in even harder times. Some snippets from the show are included (Tracks 1, 11 and 23) to remind you of the now concluded "Life on Mars" masterpiece. Track listing 1. King Of The Jungle (dialogue) 2. Life On Mars - Bowie, David 3. Street Life - Roxy Music 4. Live And Let Die - McCartney, Paul & Wings 5. 10538 Overture - Electric Light Orchestra 6. Tokoloshe Man - Kongos, John 7. Devil's Answer - Atomic Rooster 8. Rock On - T-Rex 9. Little Bit Of Love - Free 10. Jungle Lion - Perry, Lee 'Scratch' & The Upsetters 11. Armed Bastards (dialogue) 12. Blockbuster - Sweet 13.
