...'affaires, and coterie mean to my nieces as they listened along. Some filmtracks have lifted portions of this music for use as background material, which is another sign of successful composition. But, by far the high point has to be Robin Williams' vocal flexibility and ingenuity in the characterisation of the Genie. Alternating accents and impressions (at one point doing Edith and Archie Bunker, at another doing William Buckley, etc.) the rapid flow of the voices smoothly across causes me to wonder if the characterisations were improvisational, with the animation produced afterward to fit the flow of the changes. This is true both in the song 'Friend Like Me' and in the processional song 'Prince Ali'. I recommend this soundtrack most highly to children and to adults who love comedy. It is an interesting treat. Key Songs include: Arabian Nights One... Read review

Advantages: Great Music, Great Sound, Great Words!!
Disadvantages: CD = Scratch

...This is one of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's best selling albums. It is great!! I absolutely love the words which he sings. This album does not only help me relax, but i listen to it whilst i try to sleep. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's voice is powerful in which he reflects his passion for Love and people in Love. So if you are in love, this is a great album to buy. The songs are about 5-7 mins long and are suitable for all ages. The only problem with this album is that it is on a CD which means that not taking care of it means it will scratch. My overall rating is that this is a great album which in competition with other artists shows that it is the best. I also feel that it is worth the price! Happy Listening!!... Read review

Advantages: Funny, Some classic songs
Disadvantages: Not to everybodies tastes

...the Drum and Bass, Hip Hop and R&B genres amongst others. In between some of the tracks (and at the start and finish) are skits recorded by Ali G which creates the idea of the CD being part of Ali G's Drive By FM (a pirate radio station recorded from his Grandma's house). This idea is continued throughout and all of Ali Gs spoken parts will entertain, as they are very amusing. This means that in total the CD has 21 tracks (15 songs, 7 Ali G speeches and a Video special of Ali G and Shaggy's hit single 'Me Julie'). Track listing: 1. Drive By - Ali G - This is a funny introduction spoken by Ali G himself, it carries the conventions of a typical low budget pirate radio station and 2. Stand Clear - Adam F - Fast and bassy track from English Jungle and Drum and Bass DJ. Adam F scored for the feature film and this is one of the most memorable... Read review
