Battle Of Trafalgar 200 Kings Rd. Chelsea - Max Collie Rhythm Aces (The)

Advantages: Great, evocative soundtrack.
Disadvantages: None

...This is a great soundtrack, fully evoking the strength and grandeur of the film. The cd has some truly exhilarating moments and features some excellent playing, in particular the lyrical trumpet playing - as a brass student at the RCM I should know! Hans Zimmer constantly produces excellent scores, I was hooked from Backdraft (the best soundtrack ever) and even the Lion King was acceptable thanks to his evocative orchestral writing. The choice of wordless lyrics for the singer added to the ancient rome-evoking feel of the soundtrack and the fierce rhythms in the battle music were precisely correct.... Read review

...This self-titled debut album is not exactly uncategorisable but it certainly branches off from the dance genre in a direction rarely seen before.

Kicking off with Jefferson Airplane, the dreamy mystical track merges with Fatboy Slim's Es Paradis, the carnival bouncy fun track which oddly enough ends up being Betty Boo's Doing the Do! Most of the tracks here aren't very well know (well I've never heard of Tiny Lion!), but this is for the best, as hearing new stuff is good for us all! I would recommend buying this as it IS a great cd and one you'll listen to again and again, as this two cd set is a very long laster!... Read review
