Black Hawk Nights - Cal Tjader

Advantages: Lyrics, Originallity
Disadvantages: Unheard of Artist

...This is the follow up to Joes first album 'All That I Am', this album in my opinion is far better than the first album. The lyrics and songs are more relaxed that the first album and of a better quality. Most of the songs on the album are of excellent quaility and superbly wrote, the bests one I feel are black hawk and get crunk tonight, but all the songs on the album are excellent. The cover and presentation is also very good, but main downside to the album sucess is that many people havent heard of this artist, but to be honest I wouldnt let that put you off as it is one of the best R&B albums in recent years...

...Southern California's Lagwagon formed in 1990, originally under the name Section 8 and boasts the fact that the band was the first to be signed to the now famous Fat Wreck label, debuting with Duh in 1992.

More appropriately, however, may be Lagwagon as the label's choice to play that venue, a band befitting of any venue, anywhere in the world. Having seen Lagwagon live, having been disappointed...

Disadvantages: No. Can't find any

...Gladiator the film has one of the best soundtracks ever. The music adds so much to the pictures on screen. A simple screen shot of a forrest becomes so much more atmospheric when the soundtrack is added. This DECCA RECORDS cd released in 2000 has 17 tracks produced by Hans Zimmer. A total running time of 61 minuites. Hans zimmer is a prolific producer / composer of film soundtrack music. He has worked on films such as; The Lion King Black Hawk Down Pearl Harbour Hannibal The Last Samurai Castaway + many more........... This, in my opinion, is his best work to date. The music linked all scenes in the film seamlessly and covered every emotion. Parts of the film were led by this music score. The last track, 'Now we are free,' became the anthem of the film This track was co-written and sung by Lisa Gerrard. She also wrote... Read review
