Absolute Beginners

One of the worst movies I've ever seen, yet one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. Crazy huh. It's a star-studded ensemble of artists who contributed their own tunes to Julien Temple's 1986 musical, most of which revolve around a really fun, swinging, big band jazz vibe.

Here are a few of them...

...and of course...

It's an album I simply can't get enough of myself.

Any other fans at all? Or am I just talking out of my arse here?

I'm 99% sure it's still up on my megaupload account if anyone fancies a link.

Possibly Bowie's finest post-Scary Monsters 80's moment in the form of the title track.
Really good Style Council song too.
