Advantages: Fantastic opening track and good accompanaiment to film
Disadvantages: Some tracks are poor and does not contain freestyle sessions from film

I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with this album when I first bought it shortly after watching the film (which I thought was fantastic). Firstly, the CD does not contain the freestyle sessions from the movie, which are, in my eyes, the highlight of the motion picture. Secondly, the overall quality of the tracks is not as solid as I expected. The album opens with 'Lose Yourself', which is sublime. However, the rest of the album fails to ...
...disappointing. 'Adrenaline Rush' could be considered a highlight, but isn't really anything special. Jay-Z appearing on track 7 lifts the competition slightly, but other than that this album isn't really anything special, and lacks the grit other rap albums have. If you loved the film and are a huge fan of Eminem then this is worth buying. The record is by no means a failure, but it could be better. It's a shame that a fantastic film about music ...

Advantages: Funny, Some classic songs
Disadvantages: Not to everybodies tastes

"The original soundtrack for ALI G INDAHOUSE, British faux-gangster comedy film. Playlist holds plenty of rap hits like NWA's "Straight Outta Compton," Nelly "E I," and Public Enemy "Fight the Power." " Following the release of 2002's Ali G feature length movie 'Ali G Indahouse' was the less renowned soundtrack. You will probably know whether or not you will like it simply by looking at the play list. I'm not a huge fan of the entire compilation ...
...by Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G himself, these are highly amusing and add the appeal of the album. The CD features 15 tracks which span the Drum and Bass, Hip Hop and R&B genres amongst others. In between some of the tracks (and at the start and finish) are skits recorded by Ali G which creates the idea of the CD being part of Ali G's Drive By FM (a pirate radio station recorded from his Grandma's house). This idea is continued throughout and all ... Read review

Advantages: Vonda's amazing voice
Disadvantages: Your other CD's may never be played again

Being a massive Ally McBeal fan I used to watch all the episodes so was delighted when the soundtrack came out and I didn't have to skip scenes on the DVD just to listen to a song. The songs are sung by Vonda Shepard who has one of the best voices I have ever heard, I have also seen her live at the Colston Hall so I know she can actually sing. The front cover has a picture of the star of the show Calista Flockhart who plays Ally Mcbeal, the rest ...
...Ally Mcbeal so you can reminisce about the show while your listening to the songs. The inside cover has all the words to the songs so you can do a bit of Karaoke, although to be honest you probably won't need those for long as the songs are very easy to remember. The last page of the cover has the acknowledgements. There are 14 songs on this cd which is a fair amount for any cd. 1) Searchin' my soul 2) Ask the lonely 3) Walk away Renee 4) Hooked ...

Advantages: Catchy upgoing 'happy music'
Disadvantages: music quality wasn't fantastic but when i put album on i-pod it improved

I loved the movie! So i you love a movie why not get the soundtrack? I bought this years ago in HMV for about £5 so i thought i got good value for money. I saw it on ebay for £1 however! I thought this was a good CD. My favorite was by far "Just the Two Of Us" by Dr Evil! It is so funny! I also loved the last song as it was the "Austin powers Theme" and it just makes you happy! Theres some old classics there for all you 'old-young' folk like Burt ...

Advantages: great 3 cd boxset with a variewty of great songs from awesome movies!
Disadvantages: hard to find a copy at the moment

...i have now purchased the Classic Fm at the movies: the sequel box set and the more recent ultimate collection of songs from the movies. I would recommend all 3, but would have to say that this one includes some of the more well known songs and films, but they are of course all extremely good! Disc 1 1. Superman: The Movie - John Williams 2. Back to the Future - Alan Silvestri 3. Apollo 13 - James Horner 4. Star Wars - John Williams 5. The Mission ...
...a variety of songs from classic and more modern films all performed at an exceptionally high standard! Worth a place on the shelf of any film or music fan! Price: I think this CD is not available at many stores ( i have looked on play and amazon and it is unavavilable) and it may been replaced by the new version: the Ultimate collection. However if you look around you may be able to locate it or if not then have a look on e bay - the prices are ... Read review
