Dirty Dancing Original Soundtrack

Advantages: Brings back all the best bits of the film.
Disadvantages: None that I know.

WOW! I love the film, and this soundtrack is absolutely amazing as well. Throughout the soundtrack I just want to get up and dance - and sometimes I do... LOL. It's the whole standing in front of a mirror with the hairbrush CD. If you're a big fan of the film like me, then this is the perfect CD as you know all of the words off by heart without even realising it! Everyone loves Patrick Swayze, and he sings track 3 (She's Like The Wind). It gives ...

A great recording of a great show

Advantages: Great musical; very strong cast
Disadvantages: Not the full recording; some weak voices

As a show Les Misérables is flawless. It has a captivating story that keeps you hooked which is displayed in a wonderful musical. One problem often associated with musicals is the lack of originality, shows, too often, consist of two or three individual numbers with the rest of the musical being filled with reprises or slight variations. Although there are songs like this in Les Miserables it doesn't seem so bad because the variation really is different! ...
...is the same, however, because of the different moods in both of the pieces they seem different. In other occurences where the tune is re-used, enough decoration is added to the songs to make them seem original. As for this specific recording; the cast is mainly very strong. The role of Valjean is portrayed by Colm Wilkinson, the person who 'created' the role. His antagonist, Javert is also portrayed very well as Roger Allam's voice is superbly suited ...

A must have album

Advantages: Fantastic tunes
Disadvantages: Some obscure tracks

...Destination Unknown - Marietta 10. Top Gun Anthem - Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens 11. (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding 12. Memories - Harold Faltermeyer 13. Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis 14. You've lost that Lovin' Feeling - The Righteous Brothers 15. Playing with the Boys (Dance Mix) - Kenny Loggins Now I can't say I dislike any of the songs on the album but I certainly do have my favourites and it is these I have ...
...POSITION 4 - Top Gun Anthem Now this just had to be in there didn't it. I'm sure everyone who's ever seen the film knows this instrumental piece. It is quite 'jazzy' with fantastic guitar solos and a steady pace. More than anything I think I like it for its simplicity as the same tune is repeated a lot but to tremendous effect. A classic song. I won't bore you by dissecting every other tune on the album but what I will say is that the album itself ...

Tinkle those ivories

Advantages: Some excellent piano version of standards. Great songs
Disadvantages: Hardly any are heard in the film.

...album than the soundtrack to When Harry Met Sally. Mainly because there's only about two or three numbers actually used in the film, the rest are Connicks clever piano based interpretations of old standards such as 'It Had to Be You' - of which he does two versions, one a rousing big band number and the second (used in the film) an excellent trio up tempo version. Other highlights include a superb piano only be-bop version of 'Winter Wonderland', ...
