I came across 'Hammerhead's apartment' on a Colgems label compilation and was excited - the warm strings and great bossa instrumental sound were very much my thing, and recalled some of the best moments on Morricone's 'Mondo Morricone'-compiled recordings. Sadly, this soundtrack album doesn't offer much more than that to me. There is a great vocal version of the same theme (vocals are by Madeleine Bell). The rest of the album is slightly jumpy and frenetic. I imagine it would have worked brilliantly in the film, but rather like some of Quincy Jones's interesting soundtracks, this isn't something I could regularly enjoy all the way through.
