World Is Shaking, The (Cubanismo From The Congo 1954-1955) - Various Artists

Advantages: Great soundtrack, thorougly enjoyable from start to finish
Disadvantages: None

...After reviewing the Tom Cruise film yesterday I thought I should review what I think is the best version of War of the Worlds (bar the original novel of course). ***Be aware that this review may well contain spoilers for the story, however even if you know the story from front to back, it would not spoil the enjoyment of this album.*** ~The Album~ Released in 1978 this album (if you don't know what an album is, ask your parents lol) tells the tale of a Martian invasion as told in H. G. Wells novel of the same name. The album consists of two discs and came in its own plastic sleeve, complete with a book/booklet which details the story as it unfolds and full lyrics for all the songs. The booklet also includes some marvellous paintings by Peter Goodfellow, Geoff Taylor and Michael Trim, my opinion is that The Birds by Geoff Taylor... Read review

Advantages: Loads of Hits from the Golden Era of Rock N Roll
Disadvantages: None

...The early fifties marked the end of the austere post-war period, and the young people of the time were on the lookout for fun, excitement and sheer enjoyment. They were alive, full of energy and vigour. And so was the music they sang and danced to.

Advantages: Good soundtrack for Pirates of the Carribean fans
Disadvantages: Doesn't have originality of first 2 movies

...**What Is It?** Pirates of the Carribean- At World's End is the soundtrack to accompany the hit Pirates of the Carribean Movie series. Released along side the movie release in May. **Why Buy It?** I bought my CD because i am personally a big fan of soundtrack from movies (as you'll possibly see from my other reviews!) and i was the biggest Pirates of the Carribean fan. So i thought it deserved to be bought. I also bought it because i collect memoribellia as well so it made sense. Another reason to buy it is if you really enjoyed the film. **Artists** The Ciao title says 'Various Artists' but there is only one song that isn't composed by the main guy himself Hans Zimmer. Famous for the 'Simpsons Movie' Gladiator' 'Da Vinci Code' 'The Ring' 'Thunderbirds' and the list goes on. So he is very famous in the movie soundtrack world... Read review
