Listening as I type. Couldn't agree with you more. Arnold nailed that groovy Isaac Hayes sound perfectly while lending his own flavor to the score. This one also works well alongside his Four Brothers for me.

I think the original theme is hard to beat (even though I prefer the Johnny Pate Shaft score to that composed by Isaac Hayes). But David Arnold did a great job I think in updating that sort of sound but still keeping it funky, with the guitars and high-hats. And of course that fat brass.
One of my favourite CDs of this year. And yes, the booklet is great - very informative indeed.

Have to agree, this is one groovy listen, I have had it playing virtually everyday since I have received it.
An excellent release, Thank You La La Land & let's hope you release more David Arnold delights in 2015 ! ( Stepford Wives was also a damn good release ! )

I just received my La La Land discs, and this is the first one I listened to. In fact, it turned a routine trip to the supermarket into a funky, moody mini-adventure.
I have always really liked this score; I was lukewarm on the film itself (c'mon, old Shaft should have bailed young Shaft out of some jam, who didn't want to see Richard Roundtree kick at least a little ass again?), the score was the perfect blend of the 70s and (then) contemporary sound. With its frequent references to the Isaac Hayes theme, I think that Arnold's score is a bit closer in flavor to Johnny Pate's scores for the television series than it does any of the other sequel scores.
I had a copy of the promo for years, but the new CD completely blows it away. More music, better sound, this disc is a winner.
