Lonely Street/Village Of Saint Bernadette - Andy Williams

Advantages: Great sounding music
Disadvantages: maybe a bit tedious

...All Saints' second album is even better than their quality debut. Covering a more varied range of styles, Saints & Sinners moves away from the tried-and-tested R'n'B formula and is more varied. Even non-All Saints fans will find something they like on here. The William Orbit produced stuff is definitely the most interesting - the two singles, Pure Shores and Black Coffee, capture that Madonnaesque feel, while Surrender and Dreams are also worthy of the No.1 spot. However, unlike Madonna did with her Ray Of Light album, the Saints haven't just collaborated with Orbit. The Lucy Pearl-like All Hooked Up is produced by K-Gee, who is also responsible for the R'n'B sounding material you can find on here. Highlights include Distance, a splendid fusion of latino and dance, and I Feel You, produced by none other than Mel Blatt's other half ex... Read review

Advantages: great song
Disadvantages: none

...All Saints…..Pure Shores….Taken from the album soundtrack The Beach… Loved this single that much decided to do a review on the Single… It includes 3 versions of the song… 1..Orginal………04:27 2..2da beach u don’t stop remix….05:01 3..Cosmos remix…10:03..

Advantages: It's the best Harry Potter score yet - deeper, darker and inspired!
Disadvantages: Where have the old themes gone??

..., thankfully. This is the theme that most will recognise in the future, especially as Williams based much of the score on this one, rather catchy theme. Nice to have something a little different again, especially as they clearly hired a capable boys choir to sing this. Track 6: Buckbeak’s Flight. What a powerful track! Williams has really captured the swooping majesty of Buckbeak’s flight across the lake with Harry, dumbstruck on its back. The big percussive opening gives a good feeling of a dramatic take-off and the build-up in the strings gives you shivers down your spine on each crashing climax. This is one of my favourite tracks – very stirring indeed! Track 7: A Window to the Past. This track is truly haunting, capturing the more emotional, lonely side to Harry’s life. The solo instrument (sounds like a recorder of some kind... Read review
