Album Notes: Personnel: Herb Geller (soprano saxophone, alto saxophone); Martien Oster (guitar); Martin Wind (double bass, bass guitar); Hans Braber (drums).
Album Reviews: JazzTimes (p.112) - "The most swinging track in the set comes from THE WIZARD OF OZ, 'Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead'....Pianist Don Friedman contributes an excellent solo and Gellar's alto sounds more hard-edged than usual..."
Advantages: Great mood music, good tunes, varied Disadvantages: Brief moments of Euro discopop
...used on the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" and a mainstay of sci-fi B movies). It's definitely an album I could imagine playing if I were on a space rocket.
So on the one hand a futuristic kind of sound; on the other very much a 70s influenced record. Think John Michel Jarre, Dutch band Focus, or Gary Wright's "Dreamweaver" (if you remember that), with a bit of Donna Summer disco, and you're getting there.
Some of the songs come across like cheesy Eurotrash, and "Sexy Boy" is the best example of this, but, like Daft Punk, Air seemed to be doing this on purpose, in a knowing kind of way. So it's alright to like it, then isn't it?
The cover is very low-key, even qualifying the band's name with "Air - French band" - it may have been to avoid a dispute resulting from there being another band named Air? Whatever it seems strange, it's obvious...

Advantages: It is a must have, must listen to Disadvantages: None
...This is a movie I have so far watched 4 times! The CD is one of my favourites. This is the ultimate threat for Cuban music, and the influence Buena Vista had in terms of attracting more people to the Cuban music cannot be described. Beautifully shot, never boring, always moving, always real to the point of being a documentary, always lyric to the point of moving me to tears of commotion. The musicians depicted in the movie are living legends, are unique. The album is superb, and, once you have seen the movie, is the best way of calling up the images of the movie. Highly recommended, both the album and the movie....

I think it is interesting the way the characters decribe the cards in each effect and show how it works the only down side is if you know how to play the TCG you will probaly find this movie a bit slow. the movie is about yugi who is playing kaiba but not in any ordanary way an evil from the past is reserrected and as in any most movies trys to take over the world. This is a good movie most yu gi oh fans would enjoy. So best buy it to find out what happens....
