Perfect for Any Balamory Fan

Advantages: Perfect for any Balamory fan
Disadvantages: None

Balamory (Strike Up The Band) is a must-have cd for any young Balamory fan. This lively cd features many of the character's songs that will keep your youngster singing and dancing to their favourite tunes. Most of the tracks are longer versions than those played on tv - it is great to hear the full songs. PC Plum's tribute to Queen in "Follow the Clue" is an amazing track - you almost forget he is singing about sticky buns at one point in the song. ...
...where you can access a Balamory paint package and sing these three tracks with onscreen lyrics. The CD booklet offers children a few puzzles and other games to play - it is almost like a mini Balamory magazine. Great for travel. My daughter really enjoys listening to the cd - especially in the car. I personally don't find it annoying and often myself singing along to the songs. Very catchy, indeed. Track listing is as follows: 1. Strike Up the ...

Harry Potter wouldn't be happy with this.

Advantages: Soundtrack from amazing movies, price
Disadvantages: not origingal soundtrack and poor qualtiy of music

**What Is It?** "The Magical World Of Harry Potter" is a one disc album containing music from the first 3 movies in the series (Philosphers Stone, Chamber Of Secrets And Prisoner Of Azkaban) Realesed when Prisoner Of Azkaban came out in 2004. **Price?** RRP £6.99 but i got it for £4 off Amazon but you can now buy it for about £1 including postage and packaging! **Appearence Of Cover?** Well it has a purple backround with 3 blacked out people suppoped ...
...from the movie, it is magical and haunting. This sadly doesn't have the magic. They are basically just playing the music from a sheet. Its a shame because this could have been a great CD. The music quality is average, there is no 'magic' in the music, and it is actuly quite dull to listen to. When you've heard John Williams scores then theres nothing quite beats it. **Quality Of Music?** It is pretty average nothing special. It is fairly clear but ...

The worst film I have seen in many years

Advantages: Good cast whose lines will have you rolling in the aisles
Disadvantages: Good cast wasted on a completely cack film. Plotless, one-dimensional and unfathomable

...film, appears to hold a secret that everyone in the film seems to want to know. By the time you get to the end of this very long film neither the viewer nor any of the cast appear to know what this AMAZING secret is. The film is burdened by plot changes, an awful script and the general feeling that none of the cast appear to enjoy being part of the film. Add to this the terribly annoying background music, designed to add mystery to the film, and ...
...wooden that if it rained on set the actors would rot. When the camera is covered in sand (which it frequently is throughout the film, obscurring the actual scenes) it is a blessing. However the fight scenes are quite good. I never did figure out why there appears to be thousands of horses in the film and only a couple of camels though. The best actors in this film are undeniably the snakes (a rubber snake which a careful viewer will observe being ...

High Fives all round!

Advantages: good mix, energetic, fun
Disadvantages: /

When I was a bit younger, I used to watch Australian kids show Hi 5 on Milkshake every morning religiously before school. It is a programme aimed at pre-school and primary school children, teaching them various things through the methods of song and dance. Naturally, there are five presenters, all of which are Australian. Okay so the education side is a bit young fo rme, but I do find the music very entertaining on the show! Now I do not have the ...
...I did buy one of their several albums. This one was Hi 5 Hits. This album is very attractive, a very colourful cover with little cartoon images of the band: Nathan Foley, Charley Delaney, Tim Harding, Kellie Crawford (then Hoggart), and Kathleen de Leon. It is very bright and draws your attention in for sure! Looking on the back I noticed there were a total of twenty one songs. I will let you discover the wonders of them all yourself, but to give ...

How High would this reach?

Advantages: good songs, good price
Disadvantages: generally appeals only to HSM fans

...while to catch on to High School Musical. In fact, I ended up seeing High School Musical 3 before I saw the first two! Though I have now caught myself up and along with that I am becoming more familiar with the songs. In an attempt to fully connect with the music, I found myself borrowing the CDs from a friend. One of which was of course the High School Musical 2 CD soundtrack. The album can be recognized by its aqua blue cover. On the front, 'High ...
...you are a fan of High School Musical, but I will admit that it is not one I would rush out and buy myself. It is a good CD to listen to if you were given it as a gift or, in my case, if you borrow it from a friend. Though I feel you should only spend money on it if you know you are going to like it and you do like High School Musical! It is great to listen to, generally quite upbeat, and well worth giving it a go! Amy 2009 Track listing can be found ...
