A CD with a spirit to match no other

Advantages: A beatiful album, poignant in every aspect
Disadvantages: The songs don't seem to be in the order they appear in the film

This Cd is the official soundtrack to the animated film, Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron. In Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, Byran Adams shows his ability to be a superb singer/songwriter for a soundtrack. This album shows this skill is consitant. The best thing about an official soundtrack, you can watch the film and see whether you actually like the music before buying. And if you do watch Spirit, you will find that you need to buy this CD. It's ...
...lyrical songs are puncuated but instrumentals, but both types are superior to many soundtracks found by Disney and other animated film productions. When i listened to this album, i found myself mesmerised and almost moved by the lyrics on some songs, mainly "Sound the Bugle" (where spirit is on the train in the film) and "Can't take me, I'm free" (where Spirit has been captured). The other songs, including a few variations on the title track are ...

Review of Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron (Original Soundtrack) - Bryan Adams

Soundtracks are highly underated

Advantages: Original, funky, wide variety of genres
Disadvantages: n/a

...will forever remind me of Empire Records, a very laid back sound, with a more relaxed rhythm, and once again some great sounding guitars. Much more emphasis on harmonies.My rating-8/10 Track 6: The Innocence Mission BRIGHT AS YELLOW Sung by a woman with quite an edgy feeling, definate emphasis on the vocals, another quite laid back track. My rating-7/10 Track 7: Better than Ezra CIRCLE OF FRIENDS This is a much more upbeat track, that starts ...
...heavier drumming and more guitars, My rating-8/10 Track 8: Ape Hangers i DON'T WANT TO LIVE TODAY A much heavier, rockier track, that head banging too wouldn't be out of the question. Get's right into it, with very little lead in, and has a nice chorus. My rating-8/10 Track 9: Cracker WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE Much more chilled, though still emphasis on the drums, it is emminately sing along able. Get's a little heavier futher in. My rating-7/10 Track ...

Review of Empire Records - Original Soundtrack

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 ...

Review of Hi-5 Hits - Hi-5

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 ...

A Beautiful but Mysterious Story, Definitely Maybe...

Definitely Maybe is one of the movies that I had fun watching. I never got bored for even a second between the movie and I each and every moment I was wondering what will happen next.
