Alfano: Cyrano de Bergerac

Advantages: All tracks from Alan Silvestri's magnificent score
Disadvantages: None

...I really love the Back To The Future films and Alan Silvestri's music is an important part of this enjoyment. I bought this soundtrack on Import (from the US, I think) and am really glad I did. It consists entirely of Silvestri's score and doesn't disappoint (unlike the soundtrack to the original film). All the music from Part II is here, I think, and I really cannot fault it. The original theme is present throughout in different guises - sometimes with more urgency and menace, other times with a more sombre reflective tone - making it impossible not to picture each scene as you listen. My two favourite tracks are: "The Future" which includes the simple but powerful 'De-de-de-de ching, de-de-de-de ching, de-de-de-de ching, de-de, der-der' theme first heard when the Libians arrive on the scene at Twin Pines Mall in BTTF1...

...C'est en Septembre 2000, que six musiciens, provenant de diverses formations métal de la région Rhône-Alpes (Swarm, Season, Révérence, Neurotic Pain) se regroupent pour former Aquilon. A cette période, Aquilon se compose d'Alexandre (chant, clavier), Anne (chant, claviers), Christophe (guitare), Sébastien (guitare), Jérôme (basse) et de Jeremy (batterie). La musique d'Aquilon se caractérise alors par un subtil mélange d'agressivité et de mélodies. Pendant un an, le groupe donne alors différents concerts, partageant l'affiche avec divers groupes de renommée nationale tels que Agressor, Rain etc.… Durant l'année 2003, le répertoire du groupe s'étoffe et les dates de concert s'enchaînent, Festival Metal Attack, Nuclear Festival 8 aux cotés de Yattering, Gojira, Furia etc. Le MCD « Les ombres de quatre murs » produit professionnellement...

...It was no easy work matching up to the standards that De La Soul's debut album '3ft High And Rising' set for all the crew's preceding efforts and for a while it seemed that it wasn't to be. This latest single is, gladly, a return to form for the former daisy-agers seeing them at their funkiest for a while. The days of saying 'No Go' having long since passed, De La now find themselves recruiting the unique vocal talents of New Jersey's weed-smoking microphone terrorist, Redman. A wise move, as Redman's instantly recognisable style gives De La's low-key mic skills, once perfectly suited to their gently upbeat productions, the contrast needed to fit into the contemporary , neck-snappin' production style. Add a sing-along chorus to seal the trio's triumphant return.... Read review
