Quick Exit ~ Original Score   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info Original score composed by Bill Conti. While the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair couldn't really hold a candle to the magnificent 1967 original, the soundtrack is a little better. Bill Conti's score -- while not as pungent as Michel Legrand's original -- is still effective and probing. One of the highlights of this version is Sting's version of the classic "Windmills of Your Mind," which brings a slight (and welcome) reggae element to this song. Nina Simone's "Sinner Man" is almost as good, highlighting her fabulous blues/jazz vocals. ~ Matthew Greenwald   Technical Info Release Date : 09/07/1999 Original Release Date : 1999 Catalog ID : 810 049 Label : ARK 21 (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00618681004929   Professional Reviews Uncut (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[With] a very romantic strain of jazz which swings with yearning and glistening beauty."    Product Image
