Adventures Of Robin Hood, The - Various Artists

Advantages: Outstanding composition and scoring
Disadvantages: Bit rough around the edges in parts

...Robin Hood Prince of Thieves is a Warner Brothers film starring Kevin Costner as Robin of Locksley and Alan Rickman as an outstanding Sheriff of Nottingham. Also starring in the film are Morgan Freeman, Christian Slater and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, but the show is stolen in the last few seconds by the arrival of Sean Connery as King Richard. This is a review of the score, so I won't describe the plot here apart from to mention that it contains some rather silly moments. The music was composed by Michael Kamen, who sadly died at the age of only 55 in November 2003. His death was a great loss to the music commuity at large, Kamen having worked with a huge variety of musicians, including Queen, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Metallica and Sting as well as his more classical works. For those of you who are interested in that kind of thing... Read review

...This is one of the first compilation CD's I ever bought. At the time I thought it was fantastic, but over the years I've seemed to have grown a little sick of some of the songs. If anyone remembers the days of Shaggy and Oh Carolina, well, you'll like this compilation as it's full of old songs like that, (and that song sure does bring abck quite a few memories!) Artists include: Reel 2 Reel, Haddaway, M People, Aswad, Sister Sledge, Shaggy, Robin S, 2 Unlimited, Capella, Prodigy, The Shamen, Snap, Seal, S'Express and Black Box.... As you can tell by some of the above names, most of them are the oldies! Brilliant to keep for 'old time sakes'.... Read review

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007
Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review
