KILL IT BILL.......YOU DID WITH NO 2!!

Advantages: Great party music, very chilling and quite ethnic
Disadvantages: Spoken songs!! how annoying...

AHHHHHH. what can I say the k.b film number 2 is about as enthrawling as the album. What a dissapointment, I expected fast tempos and classic string music..due to the final death you expect the highs and lows right !!! ??? I still dont recall some of the album musc being in the film!? The album starts with opening lines from the film, talking for ages it seems to go on for hours!! Then as the CD progresses you start to hear the mexican and spanish ...
...but this was just toooo mummys and daddsy tacky, towards the end of the album you even get a fake elvis sound alike...strange. The CD was played at a party and seen as everybody had had a few anyway then people thought they were in a cheesy bar somewhere in Spain!! What a let down is all I can say, you do get enough tracks for the money and seen as I got it for 3.00 then yeah I suppose I will dig it out one day again at the end of the night. If ...

Downtempo & Breakbeat Matrix Anthology

Advantages: higly complementary with animated movie, carefully chosen tracks
Disadvantages: not for everyone

...has NOTHING to do with MATRIX OST, because ANIMATRIX is whole different project. Although it grounds tastily in MATRIX, this one spins around Matrix's major plot. But we got to get down to its music. :) When I saw Animatrix for the first time I was stunned by its music. As a great fan of Japanese animation and instrumental tunes I just couldn't break away from its atmospheric and carefully chosen tracks. As in The Second Renaissance sequence, where ...
...Supermoves just rock. Human bodies ripped by androids with massively fast paced breakbeat puts you there :] Opening sequence Final Flight of the Osiris, screened by Wahowski Brothers and deveopled by Square Co. with Juno Reactor's Conga Fury during the action it's just impossible not to cling to! Like in A Detective Story with Blind Tiger by Layo & Bushwacka, after seeing which, I just find their album i got it for myself:) In my opinion The Animatrix ...

Outstanding Soundtrack

Advantages: Keeps the mood of the film
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

This album is every bit as amazing as the film itself. It doesn't matter what music genre you're into, this soundtrack will appeal to you. The thing I love about this album is that every song on it, you can remember hearing it in the film. Let's be honest. There is nothing more annoying than buying a soundtrack to find that the songs you like aren't on it. Or worse, it has songs you didn't even hear in the film. Well don't worry about this one. ...
...group, Leftfield. It also happens to be the first song of the film. There are two songs in the compilation which I feel helped create the ambience of the entire movie. These being 'Pure Shores' by All Saints and 'Porcelain' by Moby. I don't think you can listen to these songs without immediately thinking of The Beach as they fit in so well with the whole setting. One track in particular, for me anyway, really gives you the feeling of being on the ...

VareKai - this show should go on and on!

Advantages: Exciting, unusual, family show
Disadvantages: None

Varekai is another superb Cirque Du Soleil masterpiece. I took my family to this show in the Royal Albert Hall (Grandparents, Parents and kids aged 12 and 8) and they all thoroughly enjoyed the show. The show runs in London until 10th February so book now if you want to see something quite different but spectacular. For people who have never been to one of Cirque's performances it is difficult to describe so here goes! Varekai is a beautiful combination ...
...Think of it as a very modern day circus style show with amazingly talented performers in breathtaking costumes with a specific theme throughout. The set design is fantastic and based on the inside of a forest. The forest is made up of vertical bamboo sticks which soar into the Royal Albert's dome. The stage comes right out into the middle of the Hall and the view from the stalls is excellent. Through the show two singers gently support each scene ...

For once a soundtrack that fits the movie!

Advantages: great mix of songs, classic tracks, summer-feel
Disadvantages: you may not like all the songs

I had only seen the film once and bought this CD on the offchance that it was good. Have to admit - I was really impressed. It's one of those soundtracks where you can place most of the songs in the fim; as opposed to listening and thinking 'that was in the film?' The soundtrack kicks off with Pink and William Orbit's mix of 'Feel Good Time' - it's upbeat and racey, and totally fits it s role in the film; used during the dirt-bike race. The next ...
...the remix of David Bowie's original 'Rebel Rebel' are upbeat and good songs in their own right - there's a good deal of quite rocky/indie tracks on this album. The next two songs are classics: Electric Six is pretty much famous for 'Danger! High Voltage' - it's racey and was very modern at the time of the film's release. Bon Jovi's 'Livin' On A Prayer' will never get old - perhaps the ultimate rock anthem? Even if you don't like the film much, these ...
