Advantages: Different, exciting and composed by a renound Electronica artist Disadvantages: not a lyrical album with 'songs'
This is an incredible soundtrack written for the 18th Century action/drama film Plunkett and Macleane starring Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller and Liv Tyler. It is composed by CraigArmstrong, also composer to some of the famous heavy instrumental tracks used in Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet in1996 such as the track 'O Verona'. This whole sound track is in a very similar style to that of Romeo and Juliet in the sense that it uses so many different genres of music within one film. As the film is set in the 18th Century it seems a bit of an odd choice to ask CraigArmstrongto create the film score as he is known as an Electronica artist. Overall surprisingly it works though. This CD has some amazing tracks ranging in styles from Carl Orff's symphonic, apocalyptic methods, to Opera, to modern day dance tracks and calm/subdued background ...
Advantages: Uplifting, full of fun, vocally excellent, instrumentally striking. Disadvantages: The 5 minute spoken outro is incredibly unnecessary.
'Nothingto Prove' is the long awaited fifth studio album from the American hardcore punk band that is H2O. There was a seven year gap between the release of fourth album 'Go' and this 2008 Bridge Nine released record that is 'Nothingto Prove'; the name of the album makes the bands opinion very clear that they have nothingto prove to anyone here, the band has been together since 1995 now and has over the years more than proved its worth as an excellent hardcore punk band. The album consists of 10 tracks and this therefore provides for 29 minutes of music. A number of excellent guest vocalists feature here such as Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba, Gorilla Biscuits main man Anthony Civarelli, and Agnostic Front's vocalist Roger Miret also amongst others; it's great to hear the guest contributions here and always the bands music has much to ...
Away' another exceptional song which I am sure most of us can relate too, good video definitely liked it.
On the album check out:
'Once In A Life time' it's good, just as good as the previously released single.
Craig David is definitely a top artist and Born to Do It, he's a natural. ...

Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (5/23/02, p.84) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - "...It's hard to resist Armstrong's reckless lifelong infatuation with mood." Q (4/02, p.108) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...Rich, classy, orchestral backdrops with significant cameos..." NME (4/27/02, p.29) - 6 out of 10 - "Craig Armstrong does orchestral swoosh arrangement...and makes songs without tunes sound exciting..." Entertainment Weekly (4/19/02, p.72) - "...[Armstrong's] second non-soundtrack LP is a swirling blend of orchestral themes, electronic beats, vocals...and samples...the modern symphony reimagined as a mix tape..." - Rating: B+ Alternative Press (June 2002, p.71) - 8 out of 10 - "...Held together nicely by Armstrong's expertly scored strings and a generally tranquil tone..." Mojo (5/02, p.97) - "...Armstrong takes the Massive approach to celebrity guests, utilising them in imaginative ways to avoiod the pitfalls of self-parody..." Magnet (6-7/02, p.76) - "...It's clear he's an expert collaborator..."
