After watching the 1997 film Space Jam which was outstanding i had to get the soundtrack because it has songs on it such as 'Fly like an eagle' and 'I believe I can fly'
** Packaging ** The bright orange CD comes in a dark blue case with the faces of Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan (characters from the film) on the front. The Space Jam logo is situated in between the faces and a line reads at the bottom "music from and inspired by the motion picture", so you don't need to have watched the film to be able to enjoy the soundtrack which is good because the film is so old now, the chances are you can't remember the music!
On the back of the case is the track listing: I've rated each song out of 5...
1. Fly Like an Eagle - Seal (5/5) 2. Winner - Coolio (5/5) 3. Space Jam - Quad City DJ's (5/5) 4. I Believe I Can Fly - R. Kelly (5/5) 5. Hit 'Em High (The Monstars' Anthem) - B Real (5/5) 6. I Found My Smile Again - D'Angelo (3/5) 7. For You I Will - Monica (3/5) 8. Upside Down ('Round-n-'Round) - Salt-N-Pepa (4/5) 9. Givin' U All That I've Got - Robin S. (3/5) 10. Basketball Jones - Chris Rock (4/5) 11. I Turn to You - All-4-One (5/5) 12. All of My Days - Changing Faces (4/5) 13. That's the Way (I Like It) - Biz Markie (5/5) 14. Buggin' - Billy West (5/5)
As you can see, there are quite a few recognisable names in that list. For example, Seal, Coolio and R Kelly, so the chances are you're going to like the music.
** Leaflet ** In the inside of the case is a leaflet containing information on each track like the producer and record company etc. There's also classic snapshots of the film which bring all the memories flowing back! However, there's no song lyrics which you can normally expect in a CD case but you can always visit songlyrics.com!
You might be thinking, if it's such a good soundtrack, why haven't I already got it? Well i believe it's not well known becasuse when Space Jam was released, it was eight years ago and animation movies were very new so not as many people saw the film so therefore haven't got the soundtrack. I bet if i said 'have you got the Shrek soudtrack' you'd say yes but in fairness, the music on Space Jam is just as good as in Shrek and i would highly recommend this spectacular compilation of music which made people such as R Kelly what they are today.
** The songs ** There is a good range of songs on the album and they're taken from key moments in the film. Some are more up-beat, like 'space jam' and 'hit 'em high' for example which you just want to sing a long to, where as some are more slow, like 'I believe I can fly' which remind you of the more emotional moments of the film. If you're into classical music, this perhaps isn't the CD for you but for someone like me that doesn't follow one genre of music it's perfect - it has a great variety!
** Price ** It's not the cheapest price for a CD of eight years ago at £12.99 on amazon but if you go to the 'new and used' section, you can get it for as low as £1. Also, eBay is worth a look!
** Conclusion ** I would highly recommend this CD with a great mix of classics which i bet you didn't even know came from the film!
If you want to listen to sample tracks, go to amazon.co.uk then search for Space Jam soundtrack.
