date with the latest film music, fromBridget JonestoMoulin Rouge. Several old favourites are in here as well: Barber's Adagio for Strings fromPlatoon, "Unchained Melody" fromGhostand "Everything I do" fromRobin Hood, Prince of Thieves. But on the whole the choices are fresh, such as including two tracks fromGladiatorand two fromAmerican Beauty, which all adds up to not going for the obvious, but actively introducing the listener to alternative tracks from the movies which, let's face it, define the feel of a film more and more. In this vein is the inclusion of "Down to the River to Pray", sung by Alison Krauss, fromO Brother Where Art Thou?; "La mamma morta" fromAndrea Chenier, used in the filmPhiladelphia; Sting's version of "The Windmills of Your Mind" fromThe Thomas Crown Affair; "Che so ave zeffiretto" fromThe Marriage of Figaroused so wonderfully inThe Shawshank Redemption; and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.3 fromShine. My only criticism is that the disc doesn't seem to possess quite the same clarity as some of the original film score recordings. --Antonia Couling

Advantages: High quality tracks, excellent sleeve notes and photos Disadvantages: You may have most of the tracks
Compiled by reggae experts Chris Lane, Noel Hawks and Dave Hendley (people who were actually there in '69 and love and know the music inside out), this CD is an absolute must if you enjoy the classic era of reggae. Even if you already have most of the tunes, this album is up there with other top-quality Trojan releases covering the same period, such as "Dancehall '69" and "Dawning of a New Era", and also includes a few rarities such as George Dekker's "Foey Man" to justify the purchase! The quality never lets up, with classic early reggae instrumentals, rocksteady, DJ cuts and fast skinhead reggae anthems. Just stick it your CD player and it'll never come out!
Note: four of the advertised tracks are not on here, namely "Vampire" by The Upsetters, "Swan Lake" by The Cats, "Barbwire" by Nora Dean, and "Rooster" by Tommy McCook. Don't let ...
Advantages: Amazing track selection, value for money Disadvantages: None!
You might have stumbled into Skinhead Reggae in the shop and wondered what it is. It came along after rocksteady around 1968-70, with a fast beat, electronically doubled rhythm guitar stroke, and heavy organ lines. For many people it's the classic era of reggae.
To get 50 top quality and well selected tracks for this price is so good it's almost a joke. A lot of effort has gone into this CD, and it shows, with tracks pulled from all sorts of rare reggae record labels. Amongt the amazing selections are songs such as "Mix Up Girl" by The Creations, "V Rocket" by The Fabions, "What Am I To Do" by Tony Scott, "Spread Your Bed" by The Versatiles, "Qua Kue Shut" by The Creations, "History" by Harry & Radcliffe, "The Burner" by Vincent Gordon & The Dynamics, "2,000 Tons Of T.N.T." by The G.G. All Stars, "Death In The Arena" by Rupie Martin ...
