Soundtracks are a mixed bag at best. Some are little more than an assortment of pieces, but others hang together effectively on their own, like this one. The idea of Chinese music--both popular and operatic--juxtaposed with the sounds of Nat King Cole performing Latin music might seem bizarre, but it works beautifully, sustaining a lush, romantic mood created both by the strings and the '40s Chinese music, itself a tinkling Hollywood pastiche. But as atmospheric as all this is, one track stands out above the others: "Blue," actually a version of the classic "St. James' Infirmary," takes on another dimension in Chinese hands. While familiar but completely alien at the same time, the slithering Asian sonorities mesh perfectly with the African-American form to create something evocative but with a sadness that goes beyond blues. The movie is of a time and place; the soundtrack is of a mood and yearning. Listen at night, with someone you love close by. --Chris Nickson

Awsome Instrumental Music.......2007-03-09

The soundtrack is really good; I didn't like some of the songs (the Chinese ones) but there are only 3 in the whole CD. The instrumental music is awesome making the soundtrack an average good.

The Bing Crosby songs are very good but...........2006-07-17

In my opinion it`s the Bing Crosby-songs that makes this album worth buying, but these songs can be bought on compilations. The rest of the music is for people with special interest for backgroundmusic in films.

AMAZING! Hauntingly beautiful..........2006-05-09

So beautiful and emotional, it makes you want to cry! The score for the film and the collection of music together is absolutely breathtaking....

A great soundtrack for a lover of WKW films.......2006-03-22

I loved the film, so I love the soundtrack, which brings back memories of the film. WKW uses period music to evoke the emotions and feel of the time period of the film.

as gorgeous as the film!.......2006-02-11

Film soundtracks are often disappointing---there are songs from the movie that are not on the CD, songs on the CD that were not in the film, different versions of songs on the CD than in the film, etc.

Happily, this soundtrack is absolutely faithful to the film, and it is masterfully interwoven with dialogue excerpts from the film which complement and build on the music instead of being obtrusive. I don't understand a word of Chinese but still enjoyed listening to the actors' voices, and also liked the bits of traditional Chinese music as well. There are some tracks that I don't remember from the film but they are not throw-away filler in any way, just beautiful extras in the same vein.

Walter Trout is not about tastefulness and subtlety--he is about ferocious intensity, exhilarating speed, and raw energy. This double-disc set (at single-disc price) presents Trout's complete, unedited performance from the March 2000 Tampa Bay Blues Fest (where they say he upstaged headliner Susan Tedeschi), and it is truly a thrilling ride. Running on adrenaline after a sleepless day and night traveling, Trout rolls through heavy blues rockers, slow 12-bars, soulful groovers, and even a Dylan cover. To be sure, this is pure blow-your-mind, "guitar god" kind of stuff that many blues purists may not enjoy. There are definitely times that Trout's incessant over-the-top style becomes slightly tedious, and there's not much in the way of originality, unless you count the fact that few others are even capable of such supersonic licks and unearthly tones. Still, despite the lack of a truly distinctive sound, Trout's ability to consistently fan the flames is amazing, and his voice, while not on a par with his guitar, is passionate and powerful. If you are a fan of pedal-to-the-metal electric blues-rock, few can match Trout in terms of sheer dexterity and drive. --Marc Greilsamer

Album Description

2 CD'S for the price of 1 recorded live at the Tampa Bay Blues Fest March 2000. Over 90 minutes of scorching blues. 2000 release. Slimline double jewel case.

PHENOMENAL.......2006-11-22

Walter Trout is an amazing, amazing guitar player and very soulful singer, and this two-cd set captures that perfectly. Trout's guitar technique blows everyone away-- with the possible exception of Gary Moore. (Have those two ever gone toe to toe onstage? A frightening prospect.) Over-the-top blues rock and gutsy vocals. The liner notes are an inspiring testament to Walter's Christian faith and dedication to his fans.

Walter Trout Melted My Stereo.......2006-10-10

This CD is a blues/rock guitar-driven 4th degree assault on your ears. If you are looking for something to brush the cobwebs out of your skull, this is it. Someone told me this was God's favorite CD.

new discovery.......2006-08-15

I knew very little of Walter Trout before I bought this disc. The man is an amazing guitarist that reminded me of a cross between Roy Buchanon and Frank Marino. Gary Moore, Stevie Ray and Snowy White move over and make room for Walter Trout to stand proudly amoung you.

Slow down dude.......2005-04-24

I finally picked up a W.Trout cd after years of reading about him. He is no doubt a talented guitarist. My problem is, (and I know most will say WHAT), I think he continually plays too fast. After awhile its like the solos all just blend together into one long blur. I really don't care for his vocals either. I think the best song on the album is Walking in the Rain. Great riffs and tone. To me there is only one heir to the throne of SR Vaughn and he is............Jimmy Thackery. Pick up Sinner Steet or Drive to Survive. Both are awesome....

Jump at chance to be at Walter Trout & the Radicals gig.......2004-07-26

If you are looking for a man and a band who can give you everything they've got; look no further. If you are searching for music that will sear into your soul; look no further. Walter Trout can play his guitar up there with the best of them. He can also DO things with a guitar that will leave you speechless. In his hands, the instrument can wail, talk, cry, moan, whisper or do anything he asks of it. His singing voice is powerful and comes from the depths of his heart. He truly presents his all to you in this live performance CD. His energy will be transferred to you and be engraved into your memory and you will be grateful you found your way to the performance venue of this remarkable musician and his band. The next best thing to being there is this 2 CD album.

This is where it all began. Ten years ago, Ottmar Liebert brought flamenco music to the world with a new style of playing he dubbed, appropriately, nouveau flamenco. Ten years later, despite such adventurous CDs as Opium and The Hours Between Night and Day, Nouveau Flamenco remains his most popular CD. The reasons are obvious. Although Liebert is a technically gifted player, he lets the melodies of his flamenco-inspired tunes ring out over his own virtuosity. That's what makes songs like "Barcelona Nights" and "Sante Fe" so memorable. Nouveau Flamenco spawned countless imitators, some of them even very good, but this CD instantly reveals why Liebert has managed to be the top-of-the-brain name for modern flamenco music. On Nouveau Flamenco: 1990-2000, they've remixed everything, extended some tracks out a bit and brought in five additional pieces recorded at the same time as the original CD. The resequencing may throw off your memories of the original, and the mix here tends to be thinner and less reverberant, but one decade and millions of CD sales later, Nouveau Flamenco still lives up to its title. --John Diliberto

Soothing.......2006-04-24

If beautiful guitar music is your thing, you don't want to miss this cd. This is some of the most beautiful guitar sounds you will ever hear.

I'm a wedding officiant/minister in south Texas and as such, many of the weddings I perform have an hispanic flavor to them. I've found this music to be extremely popular for the pre-procession when people are gathering their seats and waiting for the ceremony to begin. I play this often and without fail, have somene comment on it later, wanting to know what it was.

You'll love the mellow, soothing sounds. I often play it at home, particularly when I'm relaxing on the back patio on a warm summer evening with a cool glass of lemonade.

First experience with Nouveau Flamenco.......2004-06-04

For someone new to Liebert's work this disc was a pleasant eye opener with excellent quality and variety. I found it relaxing, exciting, soothing, romantic and fantasizing. I could actually picture myself at a Mexican resort on the beach with dancers sourrounding our table.

I could also visualize myself at home in a meditation listening to this CD; yes, exciting and relaxing at the same time. After listening to this CD a couple of times on the radio, I heard that Liebert was coming to town in an outdoor concert in three weeks and like a fantasy come true, I got a couple of friends together, played the CD in their car, and got three tickets for dinner and a concert. We are all psychologists, and this concert is our weekly gathering for business, pleasure, and entertainment.

great music.......2003-05-31

If you want to listen to some great guitar music, whether you call it flamenco or not, this is the guy you want to listen to. His music is both upbeat, and relaxing. I first heard "Barcelona Nights" about 8 yrs ago, and I couldn't forget it. This whole disc it excellent, you can't go wrong, and I think you will get hooked on his music just as I did.

Buy the ORIGINAL-- nothing is "special" about this edition!.......2003-01-19

"Special" doesn't always mean better!

Get the original album that was released in 1990. This flat re-release boasts "extra tracks" that in reality are just remixes masquerading as new material. Note that the above editor's review mentions the "thinned" out sound of the special edition versus the original release. I agree completely, and that is the bulk of my complaint about this cd. The original version was meatier, had more purposeful arrangements, and the sound was unique without being flashy.

This new edition, however, is a castration. New age guitar music already teeters dangerously on the edge of the easy-listening abyss, and this remastering has pushed 'Nouveau Flamenco,' a recording that barely evaded the evil clutches of Lite Jazz, into the bubble-bath music category.

Bottom line: if you want MUSIC, purchase the original release in all of its dynamic acoustical glory; if you want a collection of lullabies or a smooching soundtrack, pick up this so-called "special" edition, complete with its extra synthesizers and a computer's sense of rhythm.

Flamenco ?.......2002-12-23

Is it laziness, ignorance, lack of respect? Or where is the big obstacle finding out what real Flamenco is? Ottmar Liebert is just posing as a flamenco guitarist.
There are a lot of new, real flamenco guitarists with infinitly more 'duende', 'compás' & 'aire':
Manolo Sanlúcar, Serranito, Paco de Lucia, Tomatito, Moraito, Vicente Amigo, Pepe Habichuela, Gerardo Núñez, José Antonio Rodríguez, Niño Josele, Rafael Riqueni, Chicuelo, El Viejin, Jeronimo, Enrique de Melchor, Juan Carlos Romero, Cañizares etc etc
Í have no problem with his music except the 'flamenco' label he is selling it with - ottmar's has absolutely nothing to do with flamenco. Its just his way to make money......

A one-time preacher who has logged long hours onstage at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry backing country graybeards such as Grandpa Jones (Hee Haw), Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, and Tennessee Ernie Ford, Doyle Dykes is a skilled acoustic guitarist who integrates elements of folk, classical, pop, gospel, and jazz into likeable, refined instrumental works. Popular in Europe, Dykes leans far more heavily on structure and melody (and less on introspection and experimentation) than other fingerpickering proponents in the Windham Hill fraternity, most notably Michael Hedges and Alex de Grassi. Dykes's sound, in comparison, is almost entirely different; it offers a cozier, sweeter savor, though it exudes a level of sophistication and complexity that elevates his tunes a notch above typical easy-listening fare. The Jacksonville, Florida, native wisely soft-shoes his overtly spiritual instincts and instead delivers an agreeable, densely chorded package that can easily appeal to secular ears. Highlights: Dykes's thoughtful interpretation of "The Lord's Prayer," the homey panache of "Nothing's Too Good for a Friend," and the earnest, finger-flying energy heard on "Angel's Desire." --Terry Wood

Customer Reviews:

Bland and Insipid Can Do Better........2007-07-20

This must rank as one of the most disappointing buys I've ever made.
The gushing reviews that I have seen for this product are an offence to reason. Most reviewers make reference to his live perfomances or other tracks they have heard. Why? None of that is present on THIS album.
The guy is almost certainly a very talented player but has made a very bad choice of producer(if he was given a choice) and the whole thing strikes me an excersise in targeted marketing rather than an artist presenting his work.

The music is of the standard you might expect to be played in a restaurant. To be honest I've heard much better played in restaurants.
The opening couple of tracks showed some promise but then the saccharine coating arrived in the form of some of the most awful string arrangements I've ever heard. Particularly execrable is an appallingly insipid version of 'Girl' (yes it's the Beatles song) which pretty much sums up the approach to to the album: zero imagination, zero inventiveness.

Apparently his earlier albums were much better and his live playing is something to behold. I guess the Wyndham Hill label must bear the greatest part of the responsibility for this travesty of wasted talent and effort.

If you want music to nod off to it is quite possible you may find this a useful product, otherwise, steer well clear.

Doyle Is A Top-Notch Guitar Player!!!.......2005-12-29

I heard parts of this CD on our local public radio station when it first came out. Doyle is a top-notch guitar player!!! He is one of the best fingerstyle guitar players that I have ever heard. The best songs are Gitarre 2000, Girl (an old Beatles song remade), and The Lord's Prayer. Thanks Doyle!!!

"...when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life." .......2005-07-09

taken from Proverbs 13:12 (Amplified.) Doyle Dykes is a very special artist you should hear. His acoustic guitar playing resonates his joyful heart. It's so hard to express in words how his music makes me feel! I just wish the whole world could hear it! With each listen, my heart feels uplifted beyond comprehension. You're missing out if you haven't heard Doyle.

This is his debut and I'm blown away. Each and Every song is like a precious gift, for each listener. I know you will be touched by his "flawless technique" and "heartfelt passion." Each song builds on the former getting better and better, expanding into dizzying heights of beauty--I love albums that achieve this as it so Rare. Some of my favorite songs are: "The Road Back Home," "Caleb's Report," "Shadows of the Heart," and definitely his lovely rendition of "The Lord's Prayer." [This song was sung at my wedding and it's always been in my heart since that day. I enjoy singing it often to my daughter before bedtime.] "Angel's Desire" and "The Visitation" complete the musical feast of the ears, heart, mind and soul.

In his dedication, Doyle thanks his family (wife Rita, and four children) for their encouragement and inspiration in his music. And expresses his love and gratitude. But he goes on..."I also dedicate this album to the giver of life and music...our Creator and Lord. At age eleven, I became a believer in Christ, and I wanted to do something "special" for Him. The desire to play guitar came to me as real as the sun rising on a fresh spring morning. That desire has never left me. I still love to play."

May we all pursue our God given desires for they are Holy and will always guide us on the path of excellence and joy. o8E
Soar!

Gitarre 2000.......2002-07-23

Doyle Dykes is a guitar player supreme, but this CD gave me some dissapointment. After whatching Doyle on the Grand Old Opry I thought maybe this CD would have some real down home pickin, but It doesn't. I would prefer to hear him play some real hard knockin traditional music which he is so outstanding at.

Incredible.......2001-12-19

No one else that I have ever seen plays with more skill or emotion. An incredible guitarist yet humble and real. If you are a guitarist, you will appreciate Doyle Dykes.

Swedish singer Bosson was nominated for a "Best Original Song" Golden Globe Award for this album's lead-off cut and single "One in a Million." Its free-floating, lightweight pop perfectly reflects the lighthearted humor that underpins Sandra Bullock's film about an undercover FBI agent sent to infiltrate the Miss America pageant. Beats per minute are kept at a brisk, steady pace as even old-time showboater Tom Jones has his kitsch-classic "She's a Lady" remixed and hyper-energized by electronica artist BT. The Baha Men, who last let the dogs out, try for hit number two with "Get Yer Party On." A*Teens provide a smooth remake of Abba's "Dancing Queen," while Los Lobos update the Wilson Pickett R&B classic "Mustang Sally." Southern Culture on the Skids, with the help of a festive horn section, keep things lively with "Liquored Up and Lacquered Down." No question here, there's a party goin' on. --Rob O'Connor

One In A Million..........2007-03-01

One In A Million is the most hot beat from this album and I love the rest of the songs from this album and I begin to wonder what does it compare to the 2nd Album??? Is it any good than this one?? I havent got a chance to buy the 2nd ablum but I do have 1st and 2nd DVD of Miss Congeniality but 2nd soundtrack is my huge concern because it wont let us be able to listen to it before we buy it. I have read the reviews but it only has 2 people that left comment about it but I know we all dont have the same opinion tho.

Great soundtrack!.......2004-06-18

This is one of the best soundtracks EVER!!!! All the songs are great(especially "One in a Million") and make you remember the movie, which is also the best movie you'll ever see. One thing I'm dissapointed in is that in the movie "Miss Congeniality" the song "One in a Million" had a very cool arrangement, like in the begginning, the song was slow, and then it became fast. Does anybody know where I can find that version of the song? Thanks!

A Great Soundtrack to a Great Movie.......2003-07-02

Miss Congeniality is a great movie, and the sountrack is great too! Each song totally rocks, and fits very well with the movie. Some of the best songs off the CD are:

*One in a Million ~ It's a pretty cheesy song, I mean, it's from a beauty pageant and all, but it's really fun and bouncy. Good to dance to, and it's got a good tempo.
*Dancing Queen ~ A*Teens do a really good remake of the song, and it also makes you want to dance. This is my favorite track on the CD.
*None of Your Business ~ I love this song! It's really "in your face" and cool! The only bad thing about it is that it gets stuck in your head easily.
*She's A Lady ~ My friends and I always sing along with this song when it comes on during the movie! It's cool and the lyrics are really funky.

This CD is great, it's really fun, and the songs all make the movie sooooooooooooooo much better! I reccommend this CD if you liked the movie, or if you like pop music!

Overall grade: A

Dance culture, and the rave scene in particular, has been a potentially ripe film topic for years, so when Groove was released to heavy buzz at the Sundance film festival, Sony Pictures immediately saw a possible summer sleeper. With John Digweed making a cameo appearance, as well as a savvy mixture of featured music throughout the movie, Groove's soundtrack will do nothing but contribute to the film's success. West Coast dance fixture Wish FM, a.k.a. Wade Hampton, serves as the film's music supervisor, and he comes up with a compelling mix that nicely parallels the momentum of the movie's broiling dance-floor sequences. Starting off with some light house, then darkening his touch into deeper, more trancing territory, Wish reaches a zenith with Digweed's "Heaven Scent," using its soaring keyboard refrain as a natural peak. There are peaks all over this record, though, as Orbital's "Halycon + On + On" and Scott Hardkiss's mix of Alter Ring's "Infinitely Gentle Blows," with its electrified vocal mishmash, provide ever-entrancing moments of turntable bliss. The movie's director, Greg Harrison, has said he intended the film to act "as an authentic document of a time in youth culture history"--his movie's soundtrack is definitely that. --Matthew Cooke

Get your "Groove" on........2004-07-13

I thought the movie was actually pretty acurate, and this soundtrack does a good job too. It may be missing a few songs, but what's here is all worthy, and the continuous mix is a big plus. "Girls Like Us" is a catchy start, and I really like how "Halycon + On + On", "Anomaly (calling your name)", and "Heaven Scent" flow into each other, and the disc ends nicely as well. Overall this may not be the perfect selection, but if raves and trance/dance are your thing, then this should get you in the "Groove".

We need more.......2004-03-19

This CD is good but a lot of songs from the movie were left out. I read rumors of a second CD but that seems to have faded away...too bad. As another reviewer pointed out, an awesome track called Bluebottle by POB (which I found on the CD "Platipus Beginner's Guide") is missing. I didn't know the track's name before buying this disc and was disappointed that it wasn't here. I thought it was the best track in the movie. Overall, still a CD worth owning.

Curious.......2004-01-30

I really enjoyed the movie, I think it captured the spirit of a rave pretty well. I haven't bought the soundtrack yet for one simple reason. I've heard most of the songs on the sndtrk and I dont think it contains the song I'm looking for, which I dont know the name.

Its been awhile since I've seen the movie, but the song is playing as some of the characters go into the *chill room*. Its a real ambient song, slower beat, easier to chill to. If anyone knows the name of the song/artist, It'd be great to know.

I wasn't too happy with the rest of the tracks on the album as it left out alot of the mixes from the movie.

Not as good as the movie.......2002-03-16

But still a decent mix, incorporting a few of the notable track from the movie. Anyone know what song is playing when when DJ Snaz makes his successful fade?

For someone who actually 'attended' a few raves in 1990's San Francisco, I actually thought this movie was great!!!! And the accompanying soundtrack is killer too!
