Notes:  A little more electronic than their usual work the band still manages to put in a solid effort here. I can't speak for the film, but the best parts of this set sound like the fellers we've know and loved all along. a bit camp, a little over the top at times, but it all seems to work out in the end. The cover concentrates on the movie while the sleeve is split between images of the characters and images of the band.

John Deacon: bass guitar, guitar synthesizer
