All Our Yesterdays (20 Treasured Musical Memories) - Various Artists

Advantages: Great Catchey Themes
Disadvantages: Not Long enough

... TOP GUN – THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK   BACKGROUND & MY VIEWS  Back in 1986 was a film which was realised starring dishy Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis and not forgetting Val Kilmer, in all honesty it was the soundtrack what got me hooked, I can’t remember much about the film but the music just reminds me as if I listened to it yesterday. I’m having a clearout today so that’s why I thought I’d review this not so forgotten soundtrack and here is my view Just as I remembered most of the tracks are pop and are catchy, I'm not so keen on the theme music or Heaven in your eyes but the rest of the music is good.  ADVANTAGES  Takes you back only thing is you don’t realise this music is over 20 years old – Gosh time flies by.

Advantages: Great guitar solos, heartfelt lyrics

Advantages: Very dramatic, emotional music
Disadvantages: Not everyones cup of tea

...After our school did a production of Les Miserables last year, i fell in love with the music, the pieces are all very dramatic and emotional and the storyline is very romantic which for me is perfect, i love the fact that the music is so sensual but it is definitely classical music with a full orchestra and very depressing (set in the time of the French revolution, death is a common theme although good triumphs in the end).
