Advantages: Helps you re-live a fantastic series Disadvantages: Some tracks do end sharply or repeat others
...For anyone who is totally addicted to Doctor Who - this album is for you. If you thought Series 1&2 original sound track was good, then this will blow you away.
Murray Gold has excelled himself once again, delivering a soundtrack high in passionate imagination-capturing content that really will take you back to The Doctor and his adventures.
The Album begins with All the Strange Strange creatures, which is a compliation of all the generalised music used in many episodes in the series. There are also more episode-specific tracks like Evolution of the Daleks and Boe. But some of these do end sharply (as heard in the TV series) and over lap into some of the more general themes.
There is also a track called The Doctor Forever which is done in similar vain to All the Strange, Strange Creatures and covers all the "Doctor" music used...

Advantages: It reminds you of Patrick Swayze! Disadvantages: It reminds you of Patrick Swayze!!
...Hey I don't think that I actually need to write anything here for the people who have seen Dirty Dancing, as they will I'm sure have loved it (even if the guys pretended they didnt!). The soundtrack is fantastic, it takes you back to the film, lets you relive the emotions, and of course you know all the moves after the film! It includes the fantastic "bridge solo" Breakout and of course the classic 'I've had the time of my life' which will either make you dance or cry!
If you have never heard the soundtrack nor seen the film, my advice to you is to go find it, you wont have to look very hard as someone will have it! watch it, love it, relive it with the soundtrack...
