Advantages: Al Pacino, Classic Movie Disadvantages: None
Movie
Recently I was listening to the Swordfish soundtrack on the way to work, and on the soundtrack John Travolta speak about Dog Day Afternoon. He says that it is arguably Pacino's best movie and certainly Sidney Lumet's (The Directors) best movie.
Intrigued by this information I took a look on IMDB, where it currently resides with an impressive 8 out of 10, and sits in the top 250 movies of all time. I went and bought this movie on the back of this information, so how did it live up to the information I had heard?

Advantages: calming, gentle, ideal for chilling out Disadvantages: none
One of the first albums to fully utilise the extended length of the cd, this 1985 offering from Brian Eno will delight fans of his ambient work and probably irritate those who find this side of Eno's work rather twee.

It 's a lovely album and can usually be found a fairly bargain prices. Well worth ...

Album Reviews
Q (5/02, p.117) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...Mournful country rock....beautifully gentle, all shimmering elecric piano, warm brass and minimal drumming..." Alternative Press (7/02, p.76) - 7 out of 10 - "...Hauntingly emotive..." Magnet (6-7/02, p.94) - "...Deliberately delayed, lush and nightmarish, every melody L'Altra encounters seems ripe for explosion and improvisation..." CMJ (5/27/02, p.11) - "...A wonderfully moody soundtrack to any kind of day."
