I traded some CDs at Rasputin in Berkeley yesterday and came home with this. I was working an Adele concert at the Greek and listened to the first half of it on the way home. It's almost un-listenable because all the cuts are short and some are particularly wacky (also, after coming from Adele performing live, it was an abrupt musical change). I agree with that first review that track 13 is the most standout so far. Once I've given it a more serious listen, I'll report back with more...

I got the Kung Fu Supersounds CD a few years back, and it's good.

Although they say, "theme from...", most or all of the tracks have been used in many different Shaw movies.
