Spirit Of The Glen - Journey - Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (The)

Highland Cathedral

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: None

This CD is the newest and longest CD released by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, and personnally, in my opinion this CD is the best of the lot. The song Amazing Grace, played by the band on this disc, was a No. 1 hit for five weeks in the UK and Australia, quite a few years ago, but this shows the quality of the playing/arranging done of the music played by the band and recorded on CD. This CD has lots of great music by the pipe band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, accompanied by the military bands - which makes it even better. I really enjoyed this CD and found myself humming along to almost every song as they were playing. There are many well known songs on this CD, the good old traditional ones, such as Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace, as well as more popular newer ones like the love theme from Titanic and the theme from ...

Spirited away on a journey of imagination

Advantages: Will leave you breathless and satisfied
Disadvantages: -

Spirited Away is a Japanese anime movie, a 2001 offering directed by the celebrated Mr Miyazaki .Miyazaki is well known amid anime fans for his work such as Princess Mononoke and Castle in the sky. The story starts with a young girl, Chihiro, who is about to move to a new house, new town, and a new school, leaving behind everything she knows. She sets off in the car with her family, and her dad, not knowing where he is going (and perhaps reluctant, like most me, to take directions!) decides to take a scenic route through a forest. When they come to the end of the forest track, far from finding the new home they were seeking, they instead encounter a strange tunnel guarded by a statue. Reluctant to turn back and admit defeat, the party (after some protest from Chihiro) continues through the tunnel on foot, little knowing that it ...

Review of Spirited Away (Animated) (DVD)

Spirit

Advantages: Ballads, good tracks
Disadvantages: None

Life has changed dramatically for Leona Lewis since she won the third X-Factor in 2006. To me, she seemed the favourite pretty much from the start as she can actually sing and has a star quality about her as they like to say on the show. What I do like about her though is that she has stayed very grounded and true to her roots and has not let fame go to her head which is nice. Spirit was her debut album and was released in 2007. According to an article I read Spirit became the fastest-selling debut album and the biggest seller of 2007 in both the UK and Ireland, and made Lewis the first British solo artist to top the Billboard 200 with a debut album. It has now become the United Kingdom's fourth fastest selling album of all time. To date the album has sold over 6.5 million copies worldwide[1] and has a 9× platinum certification in ...
