This album features the massive hit theme from Quincy Jones, covers of which can be found on almost every 1970's tribute album. It's a superb crime funk jam, driven by organ and keyboard and backed up by a huge brass section. "Fat Poppadaddy" is a strong track too - find it for the theme alone.

A fairly obscure Quincy Jones score to a film featuring Julie Christie. This album has a similar feel to the The Italian Job and borrows a number of rhythmic motifs from that LP. The best track is the slow groove number "Main Squeeze", containing some great percussion and keyboard work.

Al Kooper plays guitar and organ on this rocky score. Other musicians of note include bassman Chuck Rainey and Steve Cropper. There's a small-group funk studio band who play three great, tight, brass-heavy tracks that are worth the price of the LP. The theme is excellent, dancefloor-friendly funk.

An interesting but not entirely satisfying album from Osibisa, a surprise choice to score the second Superfly film. The sound is African in influence with hints of funk.
