The nine instrumental pieces on this 1972-vintage blaxploitation soundtrack are everything you, Quentin Tarantino, or yo' mama could want: funky, slick, exquisitely dated. Thank then-ubiquitous arranger Gene Page, who arranged and wrote them. Program your CD player to avoid the excruciating--perhaps appropriately so; <I>Blacula</I> was a horror flick, after all--vocal numbers that fill out the set. The Hues Corporation give no hint that their masterful "Rock the Boat" was just a couple of summers down the chronological road, while the 21st Century Ltd.'s subsequent disappearance is absolutely no mystery. <I>--Rickey Wright</I>

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Awesome but TOO SHORT!!.......2003-08-03

This is an OUTSTANDING cd and easily one of the best Blaxploitation soundtracks. The instrumentals have all the elements you expect from a good funk soundtrack. It's got the great beat, the big bass lines, and that big horn sound! "Stalkwalk" is incredible and "The Call" is a beautiful slow tempo tune. The vocals are pretty weak with the exception of "There He Is Again." The problem is that most of the tracks are under two minutes in length. You end up wanting so much more. I would love to hear an extended version of these tunes if there was one. Very short cd but outstanding musical quality! EVERY instrumental is great! Check it out!

3 out of 5 stars How 'bout some cheese with your blood soup?.......2001-08-23

Loved the instrumentals (which take up most of the CD), but for the most part the vocal tracks are amateurish and pretty cheesy. No hard funk in the mix, but plenty of choppy and groovy action tracks...even some creepy suspense tracks toward the end! I'd have given this album 5 STARS if it weren't for the barely-listenable vocal tracks, which I usually just skip altogether when listening to this CD. The rest of the album is HIGHLY recommended for BLAXPLOITATION and HORROR soundtrack collectors alike...
