VA • Acid Jazz Movie & TV Themes



Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Acid Jazz Movie and TV Themes contains a number of familiar themes ("Mission: Impossible," "Rollerball, " "Love Boat, " "Top of the Pops, " "Dirty Harry, " "The Flintstones") that have been arranged as acid-jazz songs. Clearly, the album was designed to appeal to the hipper-than-thou audience that celebrates kitsch, not quality, but peel back the ironic layers, and there are some intriguing beats and textures here. There just aren't enough to make it worthwhile to anyone but patient, open-minded listeners.
