Guardians of the Galaxy (Songs From the Motion Picture) (Deluxe Edition) [VINYL]

Possible SpoilersIn its second week of release, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy this awesome soundtrack has claimed the top position on the Billboard 200 chart Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy : it features classics from the 1970s songs such as Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling," "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc, Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love," and The Runaways' "Cherry Bomb."For at the heart of this movie is its music, as it plays an almost central thematic role in Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" as the 1970s songs included in the film are part of the storyline in a pretty unique way. As one of the main narrative plot points in the movie, is that Quill has a compilation tape `Awesome Mix #1' that he received from his mother before she died, which she had put together for him. It has of songs that she loved, all songs from the 1970s, and this is the only thing Quill has left of his mother and his former home on Earth. He uses the music as a connection to his past and to the sadness he felt, but also joy - as we the viewer are engrossed in the opening sequences of the movie when Quill does impromptu dance sequence.For Quill, this is the soundtrack​ to his life. One of best Marvel films to date, with an excellent marriage between celluloid and music.

After watching the movie it occurred to me that I had only seen soundtracks of the non theme tyoe musci for this movie. I wanted the actual soundtrack so I set about looking for it. I found this great album that has both. So if you want to dance along to great tracks from 70's and 80's pop and soul music .. if you also want to enjoy the actual soundtrack with character themes and music from key moments of the movie .. this has it. A great soundtrack to our modern day answer to Star Wars. Enjoy ... :)

The first CD is 'Awesome Mix Vol. 1' which is a collection of all of the songs played in the film.I love just about all of them, it's a great celebration of the late 70s- early 80s music scene.The second disc contains a number of different bits of background music from the film plus a couple of amusing bits of dialogue. A lot of it is really good, but not quite of the same awesome musical beauty of some of Hanz Zimmer's best.Still I have to give the overall product 5* as it just makes me smile.

Arrived promptly, well packaged and thoroughly flippin' loved by my Husband. One of his Birthday pressies that has been pretty much consistantly played ever since. One happy geek ;) All the classics from a fab film, wifey just wants a Baby Groot now...hint hint
