Album Description

The popular "Hitchhiker" books by the late Douglas Adams inspired the engagingly quirky score by Joby Talbot. In addition to the score, the CD features: "Shoo-Rah Shoo-Rah" by Betty Wright; "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)" by Al Green; "Magic Moments " from Perry Como; "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" by Neil Hannon; "Careless Talk" and "Vote Beeblebrox" by Neil Hannon, Douglas Payne and Andy Dunlop; and "Reasons to be Miserable (His Name is Marvin)" by Stephen Fry.

Joby Talbot began writing and performing in the early '90s, working with artists such as Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, and producer Nigel Godrich. In 2000, his score to the primetime British comedy "The League of Gentlemen" won the Royal Television Society Award for Best Title Music. The British Film Institute commissioned Talbot to compose a new score for Alfred Hitchcock's silent classic "The Lodger." As a classical composer, he has worked with all the major U.K. orchestras and has been commissioned by the prestigious BBC Proms Festival.

5 out of 5 stars ah-HA ... Quite a pleasure, really. .......2006-03-05

.
If you enjoyed the movie [and we will assume that you did since you're here] you will love this soundtrack! It's got Everything!

Much of the work is orchestral. Some of it is techno. There are a couple of pop tune, and Perry Como [it works, trust me].

The Opening Theme "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" is a gloriously funny show tune. It was funny on screen, but here you can pick out the lyrics. It's even more fun when you can sing along.

It's got the theme from the original radio play "Journey of the Sorcerer", banjo and all. [so did the movie].
Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is mellow enough to blow your mind.
"Huma's Hymn" about the Coming of the Great White Handkerchief is nothing more then Holy.
The "Planet Factory Floor" is ...Well, it's just plain Huge!

And Stephen Fry rapping. Stephen Fry, Man!! Reginald Jeeves of "Jeeves and Wooster" fame! If you are familiar with Stephen Fry, then the absurdity of him rapping makes this even more fun to listen to. He does the last track called "Reasons to Be Miserable (His Name is Marvin)", and he pulls it off so well!

It's enough to make you want this album!

5 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise.......2005-11-12

The Hitchhiker's Guide movie,for all its stupendous obserdity, had a surprisingly good score that one doesn't usually find in a comedy.

The silly tracks are in there too, and they're just as entertaining as the more traditional stuff. I love the music that is emitted from the Guide; its digital tones sound like a cell phone (except way less annoying and way cooler). Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is really awesome; it's like chilled Guide techno.

The slower tracks are equally nice. Tea in Space, Love, The Whale, and Space are all so simple and very pretty.

Then there are a few scores that are really big and just plain awesome. So Long and Thanks for All the Fish (and the intro about dophins) is so hysterical...I love how it's all put together. The Journey of the Sorcerer is fantastic. The only thing that's different about this version from the film is the addition of drums, but it's not a bad change at all. Planet Factory Floor is filled with such wonder and hugeness that's perfect for Magrathea. It's followed by the equally awesome Earth Mark II.

The only thing I didn't like about this CD was the addition of
Reasons to Be Miserable (His Name is Marvin). It was just....annoying and incredibly bad. But it's at the end of the CD, so I just don't listen to it. Not a big problem.

If you've seen the movie and enjoyed the music, this CD is definitely worth it. Who knew a comedy could have such epic music in it?

5 out of 5 stars That's It --- I'm Voting for Beeblebrox!.......2005-11-03

By now, you've probably seen the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie in a theater, or at least on DVD (if not both.) Now check out the movie's amazing soundtrack.

The two major standouts of this album in my opinion are "Journey of the Sorcerer" and "Vote Beeblebrox." Anyone who's more than a casual fan of "Hitchhiker's" will immediately recognize "Journey of the Sorcerer" as the classic "Hitchhiker's" theme by the Eagles played on both the radio and television versions and now the movie as well. This version is enhanced and sounds great. It was a treat hearing it at the theater and it's awesome on this CD as well. "Vote Beeblebrox" --- I about died laughing when I heard this one. This is a sort of campaign song for Zaphod Beeblebrox that unfortunately never made it into the movie. "Don't believe the rumors / don't believe the vicious lies" it says, talking about how Zaphod isn't stupid. It continues in this vain with a hilarious spoken part from Zaphod saying that he "y'know, just wants to say all the things that presidents say, y'know." Has to be heard to be believed.

Following close behind these are definitely both versions of the wondrous "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish." Personally, I prefer the second version, a sort of upbeat lounge number, but both are great. "So long and thanks for all the fish / So sad that it should come to this / We tried to warn you all, but oh dear."

This album also includes a couple of what I guess could called Golden Oldies --- "Shoo-Rah! Shoo-Rah!" and "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)." Of these two, I thought "Shoo-Rah! Shoo-Rah!" was definitely better and more fun.

The bulk of the CD is the instrumental tracks from the film. Composed by Joby Talbot, these tend to suit the scenes they come from well. Enjoy some memories from the movie, or just enjoy listening to the music.

Finally, one last thing to mention --- "Reasons to be Miserable (His Name is Marvin)." Performed by Stephen Fry, this is a redo of a song by "Marvin himself." Wanna know what it's like to be Marvin? "In everything he has to do, he finds the world condemning / If he had his time again, he'd rather be a lemming." Yep, that Marvin's sure depressed (and depressing), but the song is fairly fun to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars So long, that's all.......2005-10-01

When I saw the film and heard that catching tune "So Long & Thanks For All the Fish" I immediately decided to have this soundtrack, no doubt. So I rushed to buy the recording and, well brother you've bet, I fell in love with the whole disk. Get this, now, today! You won't be disappointed! You're gonna love the title song!

5 out of 5 stars Zarquad! What A Hoopy Soundtrack!.......2005-06-02

Joby Talbot's score for the film version of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is phenomenal. I mean, wow! Really incredibly phenomenal! I mean, you may think Danny Elfman's score to Spider-Man 2 was phenomenal, but that's just peanuts to this score! Okay, I may be exaggerrating a bit, but that should not distract from the fact that this is a great score for a wonderful film. Not only does the music work well with the film, but I would suggest it as a companion to other versions of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy you may come across. Try listening to it while reading one of the books, for instance. Or playing the text adventure from Infocom.

Some notable points:
The introduction about Dolphins, read by Stephen Fry, who of course played the voice of the Book in the film. And of course, the brassy, Broadway-style show-stopping musical number "So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish" which serves as a wonderfully ridiculous setpiece for the opening credits. The melody appears several times throughout the score, usually whenever Arthur or Trillian are thinking of Earth. It is also reprised as a slow, jazzy, lounge singery song during the first part of the closing credits.

The cue from when the Vogons destroy the earth, which is appropriately tense and dramatic, and climaxes with a panicked-sounding string section playing imposibly high, abrubt notes, and ends abruptly as the earth is destroyed.

To fans of the original radio and TV series, I say to you Don't Panic, because Bernie Leadon's "Journey of the Sorcerer" (Which, for those of you that don't know, served as the theme to both the TV and radio series) is on the soundtrack with a faithful and reverent arrangement, complete with banjo. It is one of my favorite tracks on the album, and I listen to it along with the following track, which shares its name with the film's title, and the title of one of the most wholly remarkable books in the universe: The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

Another great track is the music for the whale that is suddenly called into existance over the planet of Magrathea. It is filled with unwarranted optimism, and pathos, and gives the scene the necessary emotional edge, which I think is something Douglas Adams himself would have enjoyed immensely, since he created the whale in response to cop shows where innocent bystanders are meaninglessly killed as a result of conflicts or car chases that they had nothing to do with, and the audience doesn't care about them since they were only on the screen for two seconds. So Douglas wanted to create a character who would only exist as a character for a very short time, but make him extremely sympathetic so the audience would feel actual emotion when he is killed. And it works, and has worked in every version of the Hitchhiker's Guide I've been exposed to.

Another great track is "Huma's Hymn", which sounds so authentically like a church song that you could swear you'd be able to find it in your church's song book. (But you won't, so don't go looking for it.) As I understand it, most of the chorus singing the song consists not of professional singers, but of fans and other random people who happened to be walking by the church where the song was recorded, to give it that extra level of authenticity that other filmmakers probably wouldn't care about.

Overall, this is a very evocative and wonderfully fantastic score. Mr. Talbot displays much originality, but at points seems to channel other great composers of SciFi movie music. I hear traces of John Williams' scores for the Star Wars films and Superman the Movie, Jerry Goldsmith's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, James Horner's Star Treks II and III, and even Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy soundtracks. Just listen to track 8 and you'll see what I mean.

Just so you know, there are three tracks that are not part of the score of the film. I suppose you could call them "Pop" tracks, but they're not tracks that have been popular in the past 10 years, at least. Only one of them: Perry Como's "Magic Moments" was in the film, at least that I could tell. It was used as source music twice, once in the pub near the beginning, and once near the end. That's all I can say about that without spoiling the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it. (And if you don't recognise the name of the song, it's been used in several movies, so you've probably heard it before.) The other two songs are Betty Wright's "Shoo-Rah! Shoo-Rah!" and Al Green's "Here I Am (Come And Take Me)". While the inclusion of these songs on an otherwise orchestral soundtrack may seem odd, they definitely fit the film. Even if "Shoo-Rah! Shoo-Rah!" and "Here I Am (Come And Take Me)" don't appear in the film, you can imagine that they'd be the next songs to be cued on the jukebox in the pub near the beginning of the film, and so they help establish the mood for the scene. Some fans may be surprised or disappointed in the non-inclusion of Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World", but if you see the film, you will see that the scene during which that song played in the radio and TV series is not in the film. But no biggie, if they make a sequel (and there's no reason they shouldn't) perhaps that scene will make it in.

Overall, I'd say that this is a soundtrack that no fan of the Hitchhiker's franchise should be without. So buy it now, before the earth is demolished to make a hyperspace bypass!

    Album Description

    I AM THE AVALANCHE released their full-length debut September 27, 2005 on Drive-Thru Records. Produced by Barrett Jones (Foo Fighters, Melvins) the self-titled album resonates with Vinnie Caruana's sometimes dark, but always clever lyrical musings accompanied by heavy, intoxicating guitars and drums. Caruana (former front-man of The Movielife) and crew rock and awe on tracks like "Dead And Gone" which plays like a musical investigation into the disappearance of love and the bloody and pulverizing "I Took A Beating" that humorously reflects on two really bad years. I AM THE AVALANCHE was selected as one of Alternative Press' 100 Bands You Need To Know In 2005.

    4 out of 5 stars One of the best releases of 2005.......2007-04-16

    When The Movielife split, many adoring fans found themselves confused and bemused as to why one of the most under-rated acts on Drive Thru Records had gone and done something as silly as split. The thought even probably ran through front man Vinnie Caruana's mind too as he found himself working construction in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, two days after he'd been playing in front of 3000 kids.

    Luckily for us both, Caruanas passion for music was long from dead. In fact, it simply needed a short hiatus from band life in order for him to truly realize he belongs on stage being arguably the best front man in pop-punk. When he finally decided to play again, he had plenty of material from which to draw and the end product was I Am The Avalanche, both the band itself, and their first debut album.

    "Dead and Gone", the opening track a live favorite is a melodious ode to an old girlfriend of Caruana's, although thoughts of closure with the Movielife can't help but be considered. Catchy and gritty, undoubtedly a song full of both regret, and anger, but focusing on the future at the same time.

    "Green Eyes" opens with quite a bizarre set of lyrics and gradually builds into a questionable musical assault on an ex girlfriend. "I knew she was from the West Coast, or the best coast as she said" - it's hardly Shakespeare, but this little sonnet has just as much charm.

    Following that quite odd song, "I Took A Beating" should attract any Movielife fan. Loud, proud, heavy and ripened, this song tells the story of Caruana's 2003Undoubtedly one of the best tracks on the album.

    "Symphony", another outstanding song yet again revolves around a simple yet catchy bass line. It's beefy, it's meaningful, and most importantly, it almost signifies what IATA are together as a band. A mix up of several different elements, coming together to make better than good.

    "My Second Restraining Order", the last track closes the album perfectly, drawing influence without a doubt from every single other track on the CD, and probably most of what The Movielife did, its almost an ode to IATA, and a cliff-hanger of an ending. It leaves you wanting more, and if Caruana is anything to go by, more is what you'll be getting.

    All in all, a brilliant debut, matured by Caruana's experiences. Combining the heavy with the melodious, and with the lyrical genius being the biggest compliment the utterly great songs could get, this album is worth fifty of it's weight in gold.

    5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Album.......2006-07-12

    Sorry I couldn't think of anything cute for a headline - but that's what I really think I am the Avalanche's self titled - AMAZING!

    I am the Queen of Exageration though, so you may want to check it out for yourself :)

    I was a hater at first. I had been hoping for a Movielife reunion but when the members started joining new bands I started to face the facts. They were done. So I listened to the new bands. Nightmare of You. WOW. Awful. Sorry Brandon and all his loyal followers but if I wanted to listen to the Smiths - I would.

    Then came June 2005. I had been keeping up with what Vinnie was doing on MySpace but wasn't really sure if he was touring or what. SO I go to see Head Automatica and who's opening!? None other than IATA. Very excited.

    Not so much when they came out as a disaster (no pun intended) - again it could have been that I tryed not to listen. Again saw them at Warped 2005, and a little intoxicated, I may have screamed out some Movielife songs for requests. Still I was a hater.

    Then this album came out and blew it all out of the water. My roomate got it and I would stick my tongue out whenever she played it. But after a few hundred listens I came to understand that this is one of the best albums that has come out in the past year!

    There has been some doosies (from the label that signed the Movielife and ultimately IATA - Drive Thru) but I am really proud to say that this album stuck out in the midst of a bunch of really medicore and passion-less albums.

    I listen to this album and as much I don't want to compare it to the movielife I have to for just a second. I listen to Vinnie's voice and remember the passion he (and I) had for the movielife.

    I Am The Avalanche experiments with alot of different riffs and music types for this album and it's one reason why it's so electic. I listen to Murderous and I feel a little Sublime/Incubus feeling and then I listen to "I Took A Beating" and feel like I'm seeing a hardcore show.

    The album slows past number 10 in my opinion (but don't most albums)and it's also where the lyrics fail (listen to "Emergency" and you'll know what I mean).

    I fought with giving this album 4 stars - but it deserves 5 for sure. Even if the lyrics get questionable :)

    5 out of 5 stars Deceivingly inventive.......2006-02-09

    So yes, I did like the Movielife, but I was not a huge fan because I felt like it was too similar to what I had already heard countless times before. What did intrigue me, though, was Vinnie Caruana's intense voice, a barrage of emotion and anger that deflected any of the "emo" labels that people love to pin on bands nowadays. The first time through Avalanche's self-titled, I couldn't help but sing along to Vinnie's driving melodies, but after a few more listens, I realized that he wasn't the only person in the band. The guitars pound away with the sort of rolling intensity that with Vinnie's voice, seem just at home. The drummer is not one to overlook either, with solid non-showoffy rhythms that aren't just lifted from your everyday pop punk band. Standouts for me are:

    1)Green Eyes
    2)Clean Up
    3)Always
    4)This Is Dungeon Music

    This album is always what I play when I can't decide what else to listen to. Definitely pick it up because you won't be disappointed.

    2 out of 5 stars What's Interesting about This?.......2006-02-01

    I should know better by now. Seeing I Am the Avalanche's moniker and the thrill of self-disintegration it promises, I long for a reapproach to that feeling that other bands labelled emo create: the William Burroughs stream-of-consciousness of At the Drive-In, the intellectual gutter-punk of Fugazi, the dizzying cacophonies of Radiohead. I hope against hope that a record label thought to specialize in the next wave of alternative music can offer anything slightly interesting. The drive-thru label, like usual, doesn't come through.

    Because nothing is more predictable and safe than this avalanche: the same slow-fast "dynamics" that should have been laid to rest with Kurt Cobain, the archetypal "dead girlfriend" song that more or less dropped off the cliff after Axl Rose got a pop hit out of it (though Kurt did well with the theme in "Polly"-but he's Kurt and noone else is!), the melding of styles that wants to be adventurous but only ends up turgid (mixing slow skank, locker-room chants, and the same old distorted three-chord tune in "Murderous").

    There are the same old flip lyrics taken from the playbook of like-minded bands such as Blink 182 and A Simple Plan, lyrics that mimic the sturm und drang of the singer's life, seemingly calculated to align he and his bandmates with some rioutous tradition. Different associations altogether come to mind when I listen to him:
    I'm ready for the next train wreck.
    A new disaster,
    `cause I'm getting good
    at falling down
    and playing dead.
    He then goes on to catalogue a list of other disasters in the whiny voice that the "emo singer" is supposed to have, while the guitars slash melodically along. Yes, there is a wreck going on here, but it is a lumbering one, not the kind that comes from musical anarchy. I'm learning now that I'll find more authentic hardcore attitude by listening to Anton Webern, Thelonious Monk, or Nancy Sinatra than by giving the newest emo simulation a chance.

    5 out of 5 stars amazing....emo/punk.......2005-12-19

    i listen to alot of emo/punk and these guys stand out, Vinnie writes amazing emotional songs like on I Took A Beating. Creative but originial mixed in. What can i said about it, just get it!

    4 out of 5 stars Just Listen to It!.......2004-03-11

    As a longtime fan of Incubus and also a classical music wonk, I had to buy this CD. I read the reviews of this album after I listened to it all the way through about twice and fell in love, but the reviews disappointed me. Obviously, people have a problem with changing what are already good songs. Also, it seems like most of the reviewers aren't listening hard enough, as all of the best songs are very easily recognizable. The only misses on this CD, the Morning View songs, frankly weren't that great to begin with. The Warmth is the best track here, becuase the slightly ominous tune was captured perfectly by strings. Make Yourself and Drive are also very good. With the exception of the Morning View songs, the composer chose the songs to reproduce with a great amount of consideration, because only the melodic Make Yourself tunes translate into classical. No one would have enjoyed a string version of Certain Shade of Green or Hilikus. All in all, a great buy, but if you don't like classical or if you only began listening to Incubus with the Morning View Sessions, then don't bother, because you just won't appreciate it.

    3 out of 5 stars Expected more!.......2004-01-04

    As a big Incubus fan and a violinist, I thought this CD had the potential to be fabulous. I will say that you can recognize most of the songs, and it is a peaceful, tranquil way to listen to Incubus. However, often the strings sound similar to tuning instruments in an Elementary School orchestra (boy does that take me back!). Perhaps they could have selected more experienced artists, because the Incubus songs are so beautiful.

    1 out of 5 stars soo bad.......2003-11-25

    this is the worst version of any incubus song, even my cat could wail an incubus song better than this. even if i ever did recognize any not of this as being an incubus song, its still crap. Most of this CD is an unrecognizable slice of junk. Buy a proper INCUBUS cd!

    5 out of 5 stars HOLY ka-NOLY! hot DANCER SPA-coal-EE!!!.......2003-09-27

    very well done. musically creative. if you truely apriciate incubus, and you also appriciate the classical music. this album was put together very well. its a good album to relax to while driving and you just want to be calm.or sleeping to or whatever.
    you can TOTALLY tell what songs are what. and after listening to this album, you will have a new look on incubus and there creativity. but seriously...i know music. and this is good and well thought out music. ---chuck says "enjoy incubus!"

    5 out of 5 stars absolutely beautiful.........2003-08-12

    I just got this cd today. I've already listened to it 3 times. All I can say is it's amazing.. I'm a huge fan of Incubus and when I first heard this I was in shock on how amazing this quartet could play.Just get it.. you won't be let down

        5 out of 5 stars As Patsy would say !!!FABulous!!! darling.......2006-08-25

        This single is FABulous this song is almost as good as the song, So Fabulous So Fierce that *Thunderpuss* made. the best version is the (7' Edit) and Edina is saying that you can't have enoght "hats sunglasses and shoes" and Patsy is saying "I Am Thin And Gorgeous!!!" in the background. they should play this song on a "Fashion Cat Walk" i know i will!!

        3 out of 5 stars "Dull soulless dance music".......2000-05-09

        That's a phrase AbFab character Patsy uses to describe the music scene, but it almost fits here. On its own merit, this disc is little more than sound bites from the series set to a generic dance beat, which adds a bit of kitsch to a nightclub Saturday night. And to be fair, the elements are blended with skill and precision. However, when compared to the Pet Shop Boys' own AbFab tribute, it's apparent that their version is simply more listenable. There's a melody and structure, which is conspicuously absent here. Pleasant club track; annoying in any other context.

        4 out of 5 stars Makes you miss this "fabulous" show.......1999-12-22

        AbFab had to be one of the best shows of the 90s. Although US audiences did not catch on right away, we eventually did and that is evident in the cult status this show as taken on. Junior Vasquez's remix takes lines from the show and entertwines them with dance beats and tribal funk. And although out of print, this CD is a must for any ABFAB fan, so I strongly recommend dashing down the info highway to your nearest auction house and beginning bidding away. You won't be disappointed!
