I feel pretty

Advantages: A wonderful twist on an old classic
Disadvantages: There are none

...songs of the hit musical, West Side Story, which was actually set in New York in 1957. Some things never change. The four creators of West Side Story, wanted to use an old story, Shakespeare's, Romeo and Juliet, to be exact, and recreate it, into something new. The composer, Leonard Bernstein, along with lyricist, Stephen Sondheim, playwright, Arthur Laurents and choreographer and director, Jerome Robbins, did just that, and with such brilliance ...
...to the original recording of West Side Story. It is a tribute to the man who was Leonard Bernstein himself. His friends called him LB or The Mo, short for maestro. He was a musical genius. He was America's first televised music teacher, through shows like Young People's Concerts, which I remember watching as a young child. He was a conductor, lecturer, author, poet, rock music lover and supporter and a political activist. Leonard Bernstein's dream ...

This Is It ... The King Of Pop's Musical Legacy Lives On !!!

Advantages: A wonderful album featuring many of Michael Jackson's greatest hits and a few new surprises.
Disadvantages: Despite being a two disc CD the second disc only has three tracks ...

...a copy of Michael Jackson’s This Is It (having been to the cinema the night before to see the concert movie that the album itself is based on). For the last couple of hours I have been listening to the album whilst writing this review. I have never written a review of a music album before and, to be honest, was not entirely sure where to start !!! Many of you will be familiar with the music reviews written by XICripZ … now there’s a dude who (in ...
...album. I could never describe this album as well as I know he could because I simply don’t have his ear for music. I do, however, have a few ideas and my hope is that this review will … 1) Reveal some of my own thoughts about Michael Jackson 2) Shed a little light on to the story behind the creation of the album itself 3) Provide information about the tracks included on this album 4) Allow me to share my initial feelings having just listened ...

Review of This Is It - Michael Jackson

Amazing Soundtrack

Advantages: Good Music, Good number of tracks.
Disadvantages: The "first song" is just a narrative, but you can easily skip it.

I got this soundtrack because the movie was so... in lack of other words: delicious. This CD was the best soundtrack all summer long. I love the wide gap of music ranging from the Smiths to Hall and Oats to Feist to Regina Spector. Not to mention Simon and Garfunkel. This large group of music only increases the quality. This was a GREAT soundtrack in my opinion. There are only a few problems as far as I can see. The first is the fact that the first ...
...in the beginning of the movie. This, however, can easily be skipped or unchecked in your iTunes. The second problem is the mood swings. It goes from happy to sad. These swings aren't too major, but are notable. Overall, it was a good buy. I'd also like to add that 16 songs is a good size for any CD, especially a Soundtrack. This soundtrack was more than worth the money that I payed for it. ...

Buffy Album is a stunner with all your buffy songs

Advantages: got every buffy song
Disadvantages: not enough

...to any or even not buffy fanatics. it even includes if you get the amazing limited edition one a free 16"by16" poster. the album cover is also an absolute spell binder with as you can see on the photo its angel (david boreanaz) about to bite buffy's (sarah michelle gellar) neck. the series of buffy is a heart touching emotional roller coaster with all the emotions you could of from anger to love and depressed to giddy sometimes all at the same ...

Review of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Original TV Soundtrack

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 ...
