Playboy: The Mansion Soundtrack

Amazon.com
This is the companion CD to a video game where the player gets to pretend to be Hugh Hefner, so "heads" won’t be coming to this disc for the latest schaffel, breakcore or baile funk tracks. And indeed, these songs are not the very freshest; Armand van Helden’s "Fly Away" came out in 2001, for chrissakes, and we all know dance music moves in dog years. Then again, it takes years to put together a video game, and four of the songs do appear in the game itself. Freaky electro pioneer Felix da Housecat has assembled a solid mix of poppy, four on the floor house here. This is music to get mindless, down and dirty to, the perfect soundtrack to a Spring Break-themed party. No one is likely to think of this as Felix’s finest moment, but hopefully the Detroit native now gets invited to the mansion whenever he’s in town. --Mike McGonigal

GREAT selection, party up and enjoyable listening.......2005-02-20

Great selection by "DA HOUSECAT" not a lot of fresh tunes but the ones well selected to have an enjoyable time listening or parting, The mixing is not such extended but still its all about the music. Will spank your spekers at good level so make part of your collection

Weak.......2005-01-30

I'm not sure what the guy below me is talking about. I am shocked that Felix would put his name on something of this low of quality. The track selection is fine. However, the mixing is absolutely poor compared to something like Felix's Bugged Out Mix. I was expecting some high quality house music properly mixed, instead I buy it and it's all 10 second mixes. And the one song in the middle that's kind of a downtempo track just jumps into another upbeat house track and it sounded horrible. I was very disappointed, because I have seen Felix live and own his other CDs and know how good he really is. Stay away from this CD, I can hardly see anyone that knows their stuff enjoying this.

wicked beats!.......2005-01-20

As per usual, Felix's mixing is superb. I especially dig the High Caliber track!

This album will make you want to SHAKE IT!

F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.!.......2006-02-02

I've got the original music (including v2 and v3), the books (the best is Heitland's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Book; still in print);
the 22 VHS tapes issued in the early 1990's (a haphazard collection issued in no particular order of episodes that boasted famous guest stars). Can I please get the whole series on DVD? I have not seen Mother Fear toying with Illya (The Children's Day Affair) in over 40 years.

At LAST the complete series ORIGINAL soundtrack, the wait is over!.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.
