Advantages: Blissful songs - sheer class Disadvantages: None
.../79, the Banshees headlining with support from Spizz Oil and the Human League, drowning under a wall of spittle from the brittle new troops of punk rock - Siouxsie wasn't happy and she told them so in no uncertain terms - that was when they crossed over for me into SOMETHING ELSE.
They were different from the rest - so very different. Perhaps it was just Siouxsie or the mock horror theatrics of their material - all I know is that they were unique - a rushing maelstrom of dark menace - and boy could they kick ass.
Bullet point one - Once Upon A Time - Greatest Hits from a band who shouldn't have had them, but did anyway - absolutely blistering records - they kept us dancing and made us think - never the easy kill, always the outsiders, but we welcomed them in - ever since every record company in London had 'Sign The Banshees' scrawled across...

Advantages: - Disadvantages: not for the squeamish
...Been dumped lately? Hate everything and everybody? Or just had a crap day at work and want to let it all out? Well, here’s just the ticket. A nasty, noisy, snarling brute of an album that will grab hold of you, spin you round and round, tip you upside down and bang you a few times on the head before throwing you into a heap on the carpet, fleeing into the night like a thief stealing treasure.

Advantages: John Williams still knows his Star Wars Disadvantages: Not as original as you'd hope and the last film cue
...goofy characters of the Ewok line and adding to this Lucas' new affliction: over-reliance on CGI. As a result the new movie loses some of the magic that made the original trilogy such a success. It is decent enough in its purpose but eventually falls short from being in the same league as its predecessors.
For filmscore collectors the score of John Williams was perhaps even more anticipated than the film; after all it was great to have Williams return to his roots of large scale symphonic scoring for a Star Wars film. With over 10 separate themes composed for the original trilogy, there certainly was material enough to expand or choose from. However, if you were expecting The Phantom Menace to resemble anything like the original scores you might be a little disappointed. Williams has moved a long way forward since 1983 and hasn't looked back...
