Life On Mars - Various Artists

...modern day British television classic, Life on Mars will hopefully be remembered for its dramatic take on both modern and olden day policing methods, not to mention its obvious comedy and sci-fi elements that made it a successful cross genre twist on the beloved cop show. Yet, as it was set in the 1970's, away from the sepia effect of the camera, the clothing and language and treatment of many minority groups, one feature had to stand out so that ...
...February, after a rather obsessive Life on Mars viewing spree, I did find myself in HMV, reaching for the money in my bag and buying a copy. Thankfully, I didn't find myself paying the original price for this but instead opted for the stores two CD's for £10 offer, which I felt was an acceptable price for the CD in every way possible. TRACKLISTING As I've mentioned, the track listing I find is very hit and miss and offers the series little to no ...

Review of Life On Mars - Various Artists

I loved Life on Mars from the second it hit our TV screens, the plots were intriguing and the 1970's perfectly reconstructed.

Review of Life On Mars - Various Artists

...Bowie - with the song Life on Mars? which inspired the name of the show. Roxy Music, Paul MCcartney, ELO, T.Rex, Sweet, Thin Lizzy, Slade, and more. It also has on it various dialogue from the series. On the very last Epilogue on the disc (number 23), it has on it a hidden extra. If you fast forward a little bit, you will soon come to the Theme Music of actual series itself. Its a fun CD, and all the tunes on it are tipical of the 1970's. It realy ...
