Deliver The Word - War

Advantages: Great music from the movie, includes a bonus DVD
Disadvantages: Tracks in bizzare order.

...Moon (The Forest Battle (Concert Suite) from Return of the Jedi) Chapter 15: A Life Redeemed (Light of the Force from Return of the Jedi) Chapter 16: A New Day Dawns (Throne Room/Finale from A New Hope) Overall Despite primarily good music this CD has many flaws. As mentioned the tracks on the CD are in a truly bizarre order which does spoil it unless you have a way of re-ordering them. Other Star Wars soundtracks have been re-released with 2 CDs of music and if this is released for Episode III (no word yet) it would probably be far superior.

For owners of the gold CD of "War" there are still some more seconds to hear. ~9,5/10~ 5. Drowning Man: The song begins quietly like an usual song, merely the electric violin... Read review

...of 'Three Mules'. The mules in question are the 3 British Prime Ministers, Ramsay MacDonald, Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain, trying through their policy of appeasement to stave off a repeat of the carnage of the Great War. There is also a very stirring song about the Spanish Civil War, 'Always the Cause'. The collection is complemented by a couple of instrumental tracks. = APPRECIATION = This album was recommended to me by an Al Stewart fanatic, knowing my love of history and appreciation of clever word play. I have not been at all disappointed in this regard, and the highly polished quality of the music has made this a really pleasurable album to listen to. I like the inventiveness of the themes, shown most clearly in the song 'League of Notions'. This is a play on words on the League of Nations, the forerunner... Read review
