    Hi Jason,

    ->not quite acid jazz but can anyone tell me the relation between the
    ->blaxplotation film the Mack with richard pryor and max julien
    ->and Willie
    ->Hutch's soundtrack of the same name on Motown? The lp is
    ->totally different
    ->music to that in the movie.. Is this another 'Black
    ->Caeser/James Brown'
    ->thing or am I looking at the wrong movie?

    How can you be looking at 'the wrong movie' while watching The Mack ;-). But
    jokes aside I had this same dilemma. There are some *killer* tracks used in
    the movie eg The dream sequence music, the planetarium scene, the baseball
    scene, the "Mack of the Year" party scene - the list goes on. Unfortunately
    none of them are on the soundtrack album. This is a bummer. The soundtrack
    seems to consist of the incidental music plus "Brother's Gonna Work It Out".

    I too would like to know what some of the other music is if anyone can shed
    some light...

    Alistair.
