Composer John Powell pays homage to this film's Eurocentrism and modern setting with a spare, twitchy main title and other cues that evoke a winning cross-pollinization of the oeuvres of Thomas Newman and David Holmes. Combining organic orchestral elements with electronic flourishes to good effect, that jazz-influenced, post-modernist tack quietly propels the best moments here. The score's main shortcomings are predictable: Thunderous blasts of percussion cadences and thrash guitar that have become expected contemporary action movie cliches. Yet Powell manages to freshen even some of those with intriguing new timbres. Like the suspense caper genre itself, it's a score where the pay-off is not nearly as interesting as the getting there. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Movie Score!.......2007-05-28

This is a soundtrack with upbeat driving rhythms I never seem to tire of even after nearly 3 years. Though, as with other reviewers I was disappointed about so many tracks by other artists not being included.

One of my favorite non John Powell tracks was the transition music just after the Venice heist to the cast being in the Alps.

For ages, I tried to locate the song "Girl and Posse Surf" by Paul Haslinger, but even after nearly 3 years was unable to do so.

Finally, with an email to the right person I discovered the awesome track which had long eluded me was not called "Girl and Posse Surf" after all.

The song is called "Let's Go" and can only be listened to via Mr. Haslinger's website. It can not be purchased on any soundtrack or any cd. Though, hopefully one day it will become available.

But, until then, if you love that particular piece of music in the "Italian Job", at least you can listen to it on Mr. Haslinger's website ([..]).

All other non John Powell tracks are available for download or purchase.

In summary, I would highly recommend John Powell's music score. It's great music to drive to, workout to, clean the house to etc.

2 out of 5 stars No Money???.......2006-10-29

The one song I was looking to buy this for was 'money' buy velet revolver. I can't believe it is not on the soundtrack??? It played during the movie, then in the end credits - the guitar solo is killer!!!! How can they leave it off the soundtrack???? Yes that is correct, because of money...

4 out of 5 stars It does not have all the music from the movie (alas, a dissapointment) but the score itself is...Good........2005-07-19

Like most, I became severely peeved when I bought this c.d. and realized that most of the songs I had had stuck in my head were not there. I was angry and strongly considered returning the c.d. when I looked at my receipt and low and behold, there, in small print where the words "cannot be returned if opened." And my c.d. (as it was) was opened. So, I gave a big sigh and stared at the c.d. for a while, then decided to get my eighteen bucks worth out of it. I stuck it in my boombox and decided to evaluate it.

The intellegence of this c.d. takes a while before it really hits you. Yes, it does not have all the songs from the movie on it, but in the grand scheme of things, it does not truly need it. I listened to the c.d. long and hard for a while before it struck me: This...is cool. John Powell, while having produced much better soundtracks (I am Sam, The Bourne Supremacy) proved himself as having a way with digital noises, drums, and orchastrations. This is a clever c.d. I like it. Listening to it when I'm at home loafing around is actually quite fun, and gives me time to really appreciate what a neat soundtrack this really is.

Anyway....This is a good c.d. It is catchy, and has a nice beat to it. I really enjoyed listening to it. However, be forewarned: This does not have the rock and techno tunes in it. If that's what you're looking for, move on. For the rest, buy this c.d. It is smart and clever. You'll like it.

3 out of 5 stars A Big Mistake.......2005-04-02

There are some great moments on this sound track, and some very interesting orchestrations, but the One Glaring Omission is Roger Waters, MONEY.
MONEY is in the film, and over the closing credits, but not on the disc - THIS is the reason I would have bought the cd.

4 out of 5 stars It's ingenuity sneaks up on you..........2005-01-23

The Italian Job was a score that really took me by surprise. I went to a local store, bought it, popped in my car cd player and listened on the ride home. At a first listen, I was a bit disappointed. For the most part, it seemed a bland, themeless series of percussion variations with minimal instrumentation layered on. I shelved the cd, not expecting to return. Then, a couple months later, I pulled it out again. Then I started noticing some of the ways Powell was doing things with the music very subtly, crafting an extremely cool, slick and well-developed score at a low volume. Often with action scores, the music is simple and bombastic, easy to recognize themes. This one is smarter and slicker than that, though. The Italian Job is a score that you will grow to appreciate and enjoy more with each listen. You will also find this to be the case in Powell's "paycheck" score as well as the two "bourne" scores. (The Bourne Identity especially takes time to appreciate, but partially because it actually does have genuine flaws.) I highly recommend this score, it's terrific, especially in the highlight track "A new plan". The only weakness is that the score dives into bloated action music in the final few tracks, it's entertaining, but not up to the subtle standard of the rest. A recommended purchase.

3 out of 5 stars Top CD but incomparable to the film.......2001-03-11

To be blunt - its a good CD if you are a major fan of the film. However, most of the tunes are good only as backing music to classic Michael Caine acting, and lose a lot when played alone. There are one or two good tracks, suck as Matt Monros opening song 'On Days Like These' and the 'Self-Preservation Society' from the end of the film. Listening it through you'll recognise many parts but none of the other tracks are paticuarluy noteable on their own. As part of a CD soundtrack they rock but each one isnt brilliant. I guess it all depends if you were a major Italian Job fan.

4 out of 5 stars Italian club music circa 2003.......2005-11-02

from website:

Since its explosion in the early 90's with Black Box and Double Dee Italian Dance music has come a long way. On one side it developed into commercial pop verging towards techno and trance, on the other it evolved into quality House music, appreciated by the most sophisticated DJ's. The latter seems to be the sound the market is oriented to at the moment. This is confirmed by the fact that several productions in that style have 'crossed-over' recently and have entered the international sales charts. 'The Italian Job' wants to be the manifesto of quality Dance music from Italy. Irma Records' artists have always been present in the international charts and these days Happy by Max Sedgley, originally released on Irma On Canvas, is one of the most played and charted Italian, although UK produced, releases in the World. In this selection you will find another Italian hit of the moment by Benny Benassi and other sales / club chart entries like Planet Funk, Andrea Doria, Dino Lenny, Jestofunk, Stylophonic, Tutto Matto, Par-T-One, Santos, DB Boulevard, Don Carlos, Pasta Boys, Banda Favela, Belladonna, Claudio Coccoluto and Black Mighty Orchestra. No other compilation has given such a comprehensive report on the real Italian club music scene so far.
