Midnight Cowboy

Advantages: For lovers of the film, the period or the music of John Barry.
Disadvantages: A bit too easy listening for some

Midnight Cowboy was director John Schlesinger's 1969 classic Oscar winning masterpiece portraying the shattered optimism of the American dream starring Jon Vought (father of Angelina Jolie) as male-prostitute Joe Buck and Dustin Hoffman as his sleazy scheming friend Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo. The film follows Texan Joe as he naively sets off for New York to earn his fortune as a hustler. Upon arrival he finds little success and things only get worse when ...
...small reproduction of the original Midnight Cowboy poster that acts as the cover of the album. There is so much historical background to this film and it would have been nice to have booklet telling some of the stories behind the songs and the movie. Nevertheless, this is still a CD to be highly recommended for admirers of the movie, the period or the music of John Barry. Track Listing: 1. Everybody's Talkin' Harry Nilsson 2. Joe Buck Rides Again ...

Review of Midnight Cowboy - Original Soundtrack

Trainspotting #2 -

Advantages: A brilliant attribute to the film.
Disadvantages: Not quite as good as the first volume.

The second volume of the Trainspotting Soundtrack, includes all of the tracks that they couldn't fit into the first. With hits from Iggy Pop, Primal Scream and Joy Division, you know to expect a quality soundtrack. The great thing about this CD, is that it is truly diverse. Electronica, rock and classical music are all features of this CD, so it's a great listen. I also like the fact that some of the songs included are what the writers thought the ...
...this soundtrack. One is that it isn't as good as the first volume. The second is that I think the remixes are a bit pointless, and do not add much to the CD as a whole. I think this CD is a must for any Trainspotting fans out there! ...

Review of Trainspotting Vol.2 - Original Soundtrack

Music from Roswell

Advantages: Good Tracks
Disadvantages: Dido's Chillin with the family 'Here with me' remix...

I loved watching Roswell when it showed and I don\'t remember hating the music so, i thought i\'d try listening to the CD. The CD has a lot of great songs on it, many of which remind me of particular scenes in the show. Dido\'s \'Here with me\' (the theme tune) is on the CD, as expected, as well as a not so great remix. SenseField\'s Save Yourself is also on the CD. I really love this song. I don\'t remember it being in the show, but on what of the ...
...which has Shiri Appleby in. Sheryl Crow\'s \"I Shall Believe\" is contained on this CD, a song which I remember being played when Max healed the children in the hospital, in one of their Christmas episodes (Season 1 maybe?). Ivy\'s Edge of the Ocean was the song played at Isabelle\'s wedding, that too can be found on the CD, track number 3. The only other song I actually remember being in the show was Fear by Sarah Mclachlan. This I remember being ...

Review of Roswell - Original TV Soundtrack

Tron

Advantages: Great Soundtrack, can play over and over again.
Disadvantages: none

It took around 9 years for Disney to release the original soundtrack for Tron. But I would have to say the wait was worthwhile. When I first saw the movie, I was stunned by its computer animation, but picked up on the fact that this music soundtrack was just as good. The movie and the music was like a pioneer for all other of this kind, it. The electronic music creates the kind of cyberspace impression, which really helps shape and interesting and ...
...until now. While the soundtrack is mainly electric music it still has some orchestral music too. I like most of the tracks in the soundtrack, but I think 'Theme from Tron' and the 'Love Theme' stand out, and the 'Anthem' is one of my favorites of this kind. But what I enjoy most is the variations in the music and just how subtly generates different moods for the plot of Tron, this is what makes it a stunning piece of composing by Wendy Carlos, for ...

Review of Tron - Various Artists

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 ...
