Review by Croc February 16, 2010 (4 of 11 found this review helpful)
Performance:   Sonics:
The sound quality is first rate !
I give it only 3 stars for performance only because this disc has only 40 minutes of music and a lot of tracks are either sound alike or don't have real music on them.

But those tracks that do - sounds really great.

Performance:   Sonics:
Just to comment on another persons reveiw. You say on some of these tracks the is not even real music. I would love to know what makes something qualify as music. Do you write of ambient music off for lack of form? Just curious.
As for this soundtrack. I fell in love with it when I saw this film in the theatre. It's a great all star band and as with all great soundtracks it designed to be experienced with the film. However this does stand on it's own. Whenever I hear this soundtrack I can close my eyes and the music takes me to a sweltering hot day in the US south.
The sound is almost perfect. Nice seperation between instruments. The music and the brilliant mastering can not be over stated. If you like southern blues you should like this and again the SACD sounds great!

Performance:   Sonics:
So what do you get when you mix Miles Davis (trumpet), John Lee Hooker (guitar, vocals), Tim Drummond (bass), Bradford Ellis (keyboards), Taj Mahal (guitar, vocals), Earl Palmer (drums) and Roy Rodgers (slide guitar) in a blender? An ultra cool completely different mix of blues and jazz. Then you have Analogue Productions remaster the project on SACD. All this comes out to a great listen: The Hot Spot Soundtrack. The only bad thing about this disc is I don't know where to file it...Jazz or Blues? Great disc folks!
