Follows Me At All Times & Flies When I Pursue It

Advantages: Highly Addictive - Makes You Want To Time Travel
Disadvantages: Highly Addictive - People May Think You Have Joined A Cult

...actual piece of writing by Elizabeth I herself!) Admittedly, you do have to be in a certain mood for this kind of music, and the less open-minded of us may be inclined to shun you in fear of you being some sort of religious nut. That is the slight downside - if there could be one - that the Medeival Baebes inevitably sound somewhat like a Church Choir albeit one transported from a renaissance faire and high off LSD. Yet, I am an out and out non-beleiver ...
...this style of music. I suggest you play it loud and proud out of car windows, or in the garden whilst barbequeing - though not if you wish to keep your neighbours ;-) Enough describing it you can't read anything to do it justice anyway- go and listen! And while you do look out for tracks such as Miseri Nomine, Essex and A Legacy Of Comfort (Just hear those violins...heaven!) Oh, and by the way, the drama itself is pretty damn good too... But that's ...

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 ...

The American Dream

Advantages: A Musical for everyone.
Disadvantages: This is the orignial recording.

It would be impossible to do a review on this album without an introduction to the musical itself. The first performance of “Miss Saigon” opened at the Drury lane theatre in London in 1989 and continued with cast changes up until 1999. Seen by 21 million people in twelve different counties, it is still as popular as ever, ranking third in the most popular musicals after “Cats” and “Les Miserables”. Cameron Mackintosh brought the performance to life ...
...Alain Boubil wrote the musical and lyrics. I was fortunate to see the musical in 1990 when the entire original cast were still appearing in the show. I have seen it twice since but nothing compares to my first experience, I left the theatre clutching my sweatshirt and the LP dazzled by the show and in much need of the nearest pub to repair my make-up and to come back down to earth. The story centres on the last few days of chaos and terror that resulted ...

Hellboy II (The Golden Army)

Advantages: it's collectable and great for all lovers of music and movies
Disadvantages: the album cover

...just throw in a random Hellboy punching the floor picture holding his Samaritan gun, and then placing the Hellboy logo at the bottom.That to me says yeah he/she sort of tried but, could not spread his/her wings cause he/she was limited to that crappy album cover.I gotta admit I could not do any better but, it should have been Hellboy with his full horns and flames wrapped around him.Or him holding a cat with the whole Hellboy team standing behind ...
...make you jump with the great force that Elfman's music has.On most songs the stringed instruments really seem to hit you in the face with there amazing sound. Overall the CD is a great success and any Hellboy fan or lovers of classic and theatre music should enjoy this masterpiece. ...

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 ...
