"Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
With his band of men,
Feared by the bad, loved by the good,
Robin Hood! Robin Hood! Robin Hoooooooood!*

Until last year had anyone mentioned the words "Robin" and "Hood" you could bet that would be the first thing that sprung to my mind. Sweet sure-but really something a noble, justice-fighting makes-you-proud-to-be-british (if you REALLY want to ham it up) guy should be representated as? Yet alone an outlaw.

-BUT- now thanks to Andy Price (composer) and the smooth stylings of the Danubia Symphony Orchestra who performed at the Budapest Opera House, that is no more.

Say those words to me now:
*bur-de-dar-BUUUUUUUR* trumpets flare, orchestras sing.
Now thats more like it

There are 34 tracks on this album, wont list them so as to save space. And as my brother so wonderfully pointed out most of them are under two minutes long-so *perfect* for mobile phone tunes =]

Now its hard to describe exactly or generalise all of the music as many of the harmony's tunes differ greatly in style. From the brass-dominating, action/nobility feeling as well as incredibly powerful "Robin Hood theme", to the more calming delicate harp "Marain's Theme" or "Him I Liked"-theres something there that everyone will beable to enjoy.

To generalise however, what I love most about this album is the fact that you can almost feel like you yourself could be right there in the middle of nottingham getting down and dirty with the outlaws, or on the sidelines should you not feel as brave as the brass is trying to make out! Eitherway, listening to this album could almost be the same as watching one of the Robin Hood epsiodes. Price takes us beautifully to each different scene of the episode or which characters are involved, making us only too aware exactly what is happening and evoking the right emotions from us in sqeuence to what the director is wanting us to see. Dont have a tv-no problem! You know exactly that we should be feeling moved at "I Never Told Her I Loved Her" or that something sinister's a'boot with the "Sherrif's Plan." It doesnt matter how musicaly aware you are, I know Im not, and Im rambling =] Price makes it so easy and moulds our reactions exactly to his will, even with a sudden change of music style-it just makes it all the more believeable that we could be there, watching all the twists and turns exactly as they unfold.

As the majority of the tracks are quite short, you'll be glad to here that in total it adds up to a good 57 minutes (and 8 seconds if you want to be exact).

This is simple music that performs wonderfully without the need for lyrics, yet at the same time conveys the life, the struggle and the fighting of Robin Hood to save his Olde England. You could even argue the very essence of the world's most adored outlaw. Definately a challenge even to Bryan Adam's "Everything I Do."
