Review of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Soundtrack by berlioz

Advantages: Stands well on its own, with sublime music
Disadvantages: "Western'" ears may find it difficult to understand

..." action music. Instead he uses a variety of percussion instruments and subtle, light-textured instruments that are used widely throughout, most notable of them being the cello solos of Yo-Yo Ma and a handful of different woodwind instruments, with only a handful of more weighty brass to be found. Now Tan dun is most notably a concert-composer, so this work reflects that background well. As a sure indication the score on album stands very well alone, without the action on-screen, while not really giving us a vivid description of the actual images. Yet, the music probably fits the action on-screen very well, which is something not everybody is capable of producing (being either perfect on film, but not on album or vice-versa). For Western ears the Chinese elements take some time to get used to. The music is so subtle, that it requires multiple... Read review

Review of Because Of You - Ne-Yo by bobb2007

Advantages: Great songs that never ever get boring. Love a good love songs.
Disadvantages: Only 13 tracks ! want more !

...I'm a big fan of ne-yo. bought both albums and am very happy with every song. they are the types of songs that make sense and never get boring, mainly about love and romance. type of songs that couples can listen to without fighting.not all the songs on the album are released into the charts, you get your moneys worth from the good songs that aren't released in the charts. in this album songs like: Do You, Say It, Because of You, Addicted and Crazy are such great songs that the album should be bought just for them. not saying that the other songs are not good because they are all excellent. i would definately give it a 10 out of 10 and Ne-Yo is such a fantasic artist that there should be an award for best album. The 13 songs are definately worth £10 of any love song fans.... Read review

Review of Seven Years in Tibet by berlioz

Advantages: Fantastic main theme, lyrical throughout, Yo-Yo Ma, a real pleasure
Disadvantages: For the most part will not satisfy fans of noisy music

...be considered as a mild failure. But it is not something to do with the actual quality of Williams' work, but rather a question of how the music was edited in the film, which was unusually bad. This score could most easily be described as a companion piece to the composer's classic Oscar-winning score to Schindler's List in its overall approach of using a prominent instrumental soloist, this time featuring the cellist Yo-Yo Ma (as opposed to violinist Itzhak Perlman in the former film). Like Perlman, Ma performs in only a select few places, but still so that whenever he does appear, it is always notable. These performances are sprinkled all over the album, often playing the main theme of the score; and what a main theme that is. First presented in the opening concert suite "Seven Years in Tibet," the main theme is one of the most powerfully sweeping... Read review
