My Funny Valentine: At the Movies in Bloomington, MN

This Japanese import collects 18 tracks from
Sting
's numerous film contributions, few of which ever achieved the popularity of his album cuts. It's an odd assortment that leaves out recent successes such as his Oscar-nominated work on
Cold Mountain
, and there's nothing here from 1982's excellent
Brimstone & Treacle
soundtrack, one of the artist's first forays into a solo career.
My Funny Valentine: Sting at the Movies
isn't dreadful, but it will probably appeal to die-hard fans only. ~ James Christopher Monger
