The music for this third chapter in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is a traditional, efficient action score that, due to the film's setting, occasionally incorporates light Asian touches. The popularity of Hans "Long John" Zimmer (all the credits in the CD's liner notes include pirate-themed nicknames, like the roll call in a Simpsons Halloween episode) isn't in doubt--he sure is one in-demand composer--but afficionados are divided about his artistic worth, and this score isn't about to reconcile them. Some think that Zimmer relies too much on his stable of composers and sticks to tried-and-true recipes; others admire his capacity to weave themes in and out of cues, creating a whole made of subtly interrelated parts. At World's End feeds both camps: Seven of his collaborators are credited with writing "additional music," and the album feels by-the-numbers at times; but those inclined to listen very closely will be rewarded by the way Zimmer sneaks in bits of two main melodies (especially variations on the first track, a pirate theme titled "Hoist the Colours" and cowritten by director Gore Verbinski) throughout. The use of electronics is so light as to be almost undetectable, which will please fans of a more organic orchestral sound. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars Hoist The Colours!!!.......2007-07-25

I have always been a fan of soundtracks. I really adore the works of Harry Gregson-Williams, Danny Elfman and, of course, John Williams. I now can say I have a new composer that I can add to my list; Hans Zimmer, the composer for Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest, At World's End and he also Overproduced the score for The Curse of the Black Pearl. Compared to past "attempts" I believe that Hans Zimmer has hit the jackpot.

The CD "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is unbelievably the best CD of the three. It contains 13 tracks including, one of my favorites, Hoist the Colours (the song the boy sings at the beginning of the movie, which becomes the back tone of the entire movie). It is a must buy for all soundtrack, movie, Disney and pirate lovers. I have never listened to a soundtrack this much since John Williams Star Wars Episode 1 Special Edition CD.

But there is a draw back for me. The CD is a Digipak. A Digipak is a CD that has cardboard-like outside rather than a plastic cover like most CD's. I don't `hate' them, I just don't like seeing things of mine getting ripped. So if you don't want your case/album art warped, get it on iTunes.

Overall it is a great CD and a must buy! " Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" soundtrack gets 5 stars out of 5.

My name is Amone. Adios!

5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2007-07-17

This is the best soundtrack in the "Pirates" series. Hans Zimmer has melded the Eastern sounds with the West and composed an intricate melody which is hard to forget. My favorite soundtrack so far!

5 out of 5 stars Movie Soundtrack Review.......2007-07-16

I love his music. And all the movie soundtracks he has done. I already have two of these,one for my car,and one for my home. This purchase was for my best friend on her birthday. His music for soundtracks,always intenses and blends so well with the movie,which it is all about. He's a wonderful composer.

I LOVE this CD! It is just so much fun.
If you gotta' travel the road to work, school, etc.
or you gotta' run errands or you are just in the
mood to GO -
Well, get in the car, get on the road, stick in this CD,
roll the windows all the way down, turn up the sound,
and DRIVE!
Have a ball!

Amazon.com

Loosely based on the popular Disney theme park audio-animatronic ride, one might expect a modicum of good-natured "Yo-ho-ho-ing"--or maybe a little rousing Korngold/Errol Flynn/Captain Blood orchestral romanticism--here. Instead composer Klaus Badelt initially entices us with some sparing Celtic folk charm, then unleashes a furious broadside of symphonic and choral thunder to rival his ominous score for K-19. The composer's fellow German mentor is an obvious influence throughout (the album is credited with a wink as "Score overproduced by Hans 'Long John' Zimmer") but Badelt brings his own muscular instincts to bear throughout. Perhaps shrewdly realizing that genre cliches are nothing if not for reinventing, Badelt delivers his rhythmically nervous Eurocentric sensibilities--sort of Holst duels Shostakovich on the Spanish Main--with the subtlety of a scorching cannonball. It's seasoned with a little romantic respite in the final act, if a bit gingerly, and could no doubt profit by some of Korngold's sparkling melodic verve. But it's a loud, unabashed Summer Blockbuster score at heart; alert the neighbors. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Music review Pirates of the Caribbean.......2007-07-18

I loved the movie, but I love the music even more. This is an excellent CD with only one problem - the last song (which is my favorite) is not long enough. It's easy to picture scenes from the movie while listening to each song. If you enjoy the symphony you will enjoy this CD. Happy listening!

5 out of 5 stars Great music.......2007-07-08

A great soundtrack from a wonderful movie. Too bad the second and third pirates movies weren't as good as the first. Regardless, great soundtrack.

5 out of 5 stars This soundtrack will make you feel like a pirate.......2007-07-07

i saw the movie which i recommend to buy now from amazon,i recommend to buy the three movies and have all the selection of pirates of the caribbean,this soundtrack is something that put you in the movie,words can't describe this cd,click,buy and you will see

5 out of 5 stars yes, all true, but the sound!!!.......2007-06-28

I agree with the other reviewers about the music, which is fine, but also want to point out that this is a terrific work-out for sound systems with REAL sub woofers (not the scrawny boxes that say they are, but aren't). If you have a room shaker system, down to like 15 Hz, this is for you. The deepest and most sustained bass I have ever heard.

Secret - listen for hints of Gladiator and Mission Imossible. He helped with those films - maybe they are little inside jokes?

5 out of 5 stars awesomee.......2007-06-21

I'm not a huge fan of classical music, but many of the songs in this soundtrack melted my heart. :) Some were not *that* good, but some were just very incredible, which makes it worth five stars !

Things have gone ridiculously well for Coldplay since 2002's A Rush of Blood to the Head. The group's global album sales have soared past the 10-million mark, putting it in the same stratosphere as megabands U2 and the Dave Matthews Band. People have offered up their bank accounts, cars, and even bodies for tickets to its shows. And, in a interesting twist, frontman Chris Martin married Gwyneth Paltrow and set the tabloid world aflame. Funny thing, then, that the British quartet's much-anticipated third album, X&Y, is all about staying grounded. In the powerful opener, "Square One," the singer insists people are fundamentally the same no matter what their stature: "You just want... Somebody listening to what you say," he sings. On "Fix You," Martin grapples with imperfection and missed opportunity: "When you love someone but it goes to waste... Could it be worse?" Meanwhile, the vibrant single, "Speed of Sound," is all about reconnecting with the spirit and soul in the face of the paparazzi's flashbulbs. Musically, the band has never sounded more adventurous, referencing everyone from Kraftwerk ("Talk") to the Pogues ("Swallowed in the Sea"), all the while sweeping aside those Radiohead-lite comparisons to embrace a massive, moving sound that makes simplicity seem sublime. --Aidin Vaziri

5 out of 5 stars Coldplay rocks.......2007-07-12

Even though this is not my favorite CD by Coldplay, I found it very enjoyable.

3 out of 5 stars 3.5 Stars: It's No Rush of Blood to the Head.......2007-07-03

This is not a bad album. However, it is not a great album either. I am a Coldplay fan. I thought both Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head were very good albums, particularly a Rush of Blood, which didn't have a really bad track on it. X&Y is not of the same caliber. I admit that I really liked some of the tracks on X&Y--particularly Fix You, A Message, The Hardest Part, and Til Kingdom Come. However, it had at least one track that I absolutely hated, Twisted Logic, and a number of others that just seemed like filler and all blend together for me. I can't say exactly what went wrong with this album--only that something did.

Encouragingly, some of the best songs associated with this album are the B-sides, in particular Proof and The World Turned Upside Down. So, I have some confidence that Coldplay can right the ship with their next album. I give X&Y a half-hearted recommendation, but if you don't own any Coldplay albums, don't let this be the first one. Purchase A Rush of Blood and Parachutes first, and if you absolutely love them, go for this one.

Finally, I would simply ignore all of the Radiohead fanboys who constantly rip Coldplay. I love Radiohead, in my view one of the best bands of the past 20 years. But I'm not so foolish as to think that no other band can make great music, including a band that is heavily influenced by Radiohead. There is no doubt that Coldplay's music, especially Parachutes, was influenced by The Bends and OK Computer. But if you can listen to OK Computer without hearing the influence of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, Miles Davis or the Beatles, then you haven't listened to enough music in your lifetime. The short story is, Coldplay stand on their own just fine without being accused of being completely derivative of Radiohead.

3 out of 5 stars Good, but this band is capable of more........2007-05-21

Having listened to a great deal of Coldplay's rarities and B-sides before, I have to say that I was unfortunately a little let-down by X&Y. Though it's by no means a bad album, when compared to tracks like "Rush of Blood to the Head", "Spies", or their almost completely unknown "Ladder to the Sun", nothing here quite matches the complexity that we all know this group is capable of. There's a lot of great moments, but not quite as much to make you drop what you're doing and hang onto every word.

If you're looking for their best work, I'd have to recommend "Rush of Blood to the Head" over X&Y. If you already own "Rush" and like what you've heard, by all means give it a shot. But just make sure you listen with an open mind.

5 out of 5 stars Creative Genius.......2007-05-14

Chris Martin is absolutely amazing. Not only does he write his own music (unlike Brittney Spears, Christina Agulera, Pink, Jessica Simpson, and so many other cheesy singers), but his music and lyrics are absolutely fantastic. If you pay attentoion to the lyrics, there is a much deper story to the entire album. Moreover, there are so many creative twists and turns with not only the melody, but also the sudden introduction of bass that bursts the song into life! My heart pounds with the beauty of Coldplay's music. I would reccomend this CD to anyone [...]

5 out of 5 stars A classic of the '00 decade.......2007-04-23

There's no denying the U2 influence on "X&Y." Chris Martin's soothing voice, mixed with soaring vocals and a huge rock sound, are reminiscent of U2's best work over the years (see U2 - The Best of 1990-2000). Other U2 elements are present as well: hopeful but questioning lyrics, tight staccato beats, swirling or chiming guitars, a bit of piano, an anchoring bass and serious musicians who truly want to change and heal the world through music, one weary person at a time.

Like Bono, Martin's voice has good range, and he can even hit the higher notes with a bit more ease (probably because he's younger than Bono and cigarettes and drink haven't yet ravaged his pipes). Also like Bono, Martin writes beautiful, transcending lyrics that really do inspire.

"Square One," one of the album's best songs, leads things off: "From the top of the first page/To the end of the last page/From the start of your own way/You just want someone listening to what you say," croons Martin. Right off the bat, there's a storybook, conceptual feel to this CD. Despite his rock-star status (or maybe because of it), Martin sounds just as insecure as many of us; check out the fragile tunes "What If" and "Fix You," for instance. "X&Y" seems to be an album about finding one's way in this tough world, taking risks and fulfilling your potential. Martin's sad lyrics are often redeemed by the hopeful tone of the album, and it's a rare feat to pull off a piece of musical work that contains such great songs AND meaningful lyrics. Unlike most multi-platinum sellers, "X&Y" has an understated edge to it that gives it a leg up.

With its killer high-pitched riff, giant rock sound and big sing-along chorus, "Talk" gets the award for the most arena-ready and accessible song on "X&Y." "You can take a picture of something you see/In the future, where will I be?/You can climb a ladder up to the sun/Or write a song nobody has sung." "Speed of Sound" also contains commercial appeal (like all these songs), and was indeed released as a single in the mid-'00s.

"X&Y's" title track is the album's most romantic, a lush love song that aims for the stratosphere via airy lyrics, a peaceful string section and mesmerizing guitar: "You and me are floating on a tidal wave, together/You and me are drifting into outer space," croons Martin. "Swallowed in the Sea" has a similarly beautiful sound and message, with Martin singing, "I could write a book." This fully loaded line almost brings the album full circle. Almost.

"Twisted Logic" contains a darker sound and hesitant vibe at first, but soon the music changes and becomes positively soaring and uplifting. The sprightly acoustic hidden track is also a gem, a love song with personal, heart-wrenching lyrics. Martin's voice sounds close and weary, his most Bonoesque vocals of the album. "For you I'd wait, till Kingdom Come/Until my days, my days are done/Say you'll come, and set me free/Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me." Words don't get more poignant than that.

The interesting thing will be to witness where Coldplay goes from here. U2 lifted its sound to more adventurous, interesting territories as they moved on (see Achtung Baby), and so too could this important band.

The revisionist take on the Rat Pack's razor-witted King of Cool reveals a Dean Martin who was considerably more complex than the Titan of Tipplers legend; a man who would just as soon retire to his room with a tumbler of milk to watch a TV Western than prowl the Strip with his famous cohorts. That sublime, preternatural indifference is both underscored and belied with dizzying regularity on this good 30-track overview of Martin's singing career. The breezy hits "That's Amore" and "Volare" underscored his public staying power when many counted him out in the face of a surging 1950s youth market. He repeated the feat again with trademark effortlessness a decade later to knock no less than the Beatles off the top of the charts with the unlikely, if inviting schmaltz of "Everybody Loves Somebody." Ever informed by his warm, deceptive vocal ease, Martin's rich signature tunes are well-represented here. But the collection also spans enough lovable kitsch ("Mambo Italiano," "Little Old Wine Drinker Me") and unabashed romantic yearning ("Innamorata," "Send Me the Pillow You Dream On") to deepen the compelling mystery of one of pop music's most enduring ciphers. --Jerry McCulley

I love this cd it is one of my favorites. It just puts you in a great place and I love singing all the songs.

Under its enigmatic title lurks a remarkably entertaining little show. The Drowsy Chaperone is a droll Canadian import that's part homage to the musical theater, part spoof. Narrated by the unnamed Man in Chair (Bob Martin), the show basically reenacts a 1920s musical named "The Drowsy Chaperone." This allows the creative team to match an inspired collection of familiar 1920s types---the flapper (Sutton Foster), the cad (Troy Britton Johnson), the zinger-slinging diva (Beth Leavel), the Latin lothario (Danny Burstein), the zany character actors (Georgia Engel, Edward Hibbert)---with witty, well-crafted pastiches of songs of that era. Penned by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, the tunes are instantly hummable, while the ensemble cast is uniformly superb---you know the standard is high when the awesome Sutton Foster doesn't even stand out that much. Thankfully, the "meta" concept doesn't lead to arch-irony and detachment. A genuine affection for what makes musicals so fun shines throughout, making this a real keeper of an album. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

This show has got to be one of the most clever shows to come along in years. Very funny and the score is extremely entertaining. A real piece of Broadway fluff that will keep you humming.

5 out of 5 stars Hysterical! Genius! A Treasure!.......2007-06-27

I live in the midst of the theatre district in NYC and see tons of Broadway shows on a regular basis. I can honestly say I can't remember laughing harder than the first time I saw "Drowsy..." When Sutton Foster did her "Show Off" number I fell out of my seat, overheating with hysterical laughter. I've seen the show 3 times so far -- which is a first for me. The CD is great, too. Buy it and sing along! If you like over-the-top, unique, clever musical comedy, this is the show for you, baby!

Bob Martin, Sutton Foster, Beth Leavel, and Danny Burnstein could not have done it any better. Energy was high, score was magnificant, and dialogue had me rolling. This is a fantastic show for teens to seniors to sit back, relax, and have a terrific time. Amazing!

5 out of 5 stars awesome!.......2007-06-17

i saw this show on broadway, and if you know anything about it you know that it is a 1920s musical that "the man in the chair" is adding his little comments all throught it. the cd includes most of them. it is fantastic, although i don't reccommend seeing the actual show on broadway, the cd is great and the songs are fun and catchy!

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2007-06-10

Just saw the play in NYC and the soundtrack captures all the fun. If you've not seen the show yet, go now! You'll love it.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic!.......2007-07-03

We are having so much fun with this soundtrack! My 7 year old daughter is learning the music for Annie.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic that never gets old.......2007-06-27

My son loved this movie. He watched it 31 times when he was a child. Now my granddaughter (age 2) loves it. She sings all the songs and begs to watch it. It's a wholesome, uplifting story with great music. I love it, too.

3 out of 5 stars Fun, but not the Broadway musical.......2007-04-11

I got this for my daughter who's getting into musicals, because it's the ultimate girls' musical. I had the Broadway show album as a kid, but that isn't available at all. That album is great, so I hope they'll reissue it. This movie soundtrack is like the movie: it's a way to get the gist of "Annie", but it's a bit disappointing.

5 out of 5 stars If you were a kid in the 80s..........2007-03-31

If you were a kid in the 80s you HAVE to love this album! Growing up I wanted to be Annie so badly (I mean, I wanted to play her on Broadway or in the movies--I didn't seriously want to be an orphan with a smelly dog), this album takes me back to being a 7 year old singing "Tomorrow" at the top of my lungs. Buy it! It's a pretty inexpensive piece of nostalgia! Better yet, buy this AND buy the original Broadway cast and compare them. They're both wonderful, but for different reasons.

5 out of 5 stars Made my daughter's day.......2007-03-18

My daughter is a big Annie fan. (she's 4 1/2 just ask her) Anyway, she loves to sing along with all the songs. This is a wonderful CD.

Flaunting the playful, bluesy voice that has kept him popular for almost two decades, folkie extraordinaire Martin Sexton returns on Seeds, his first new set of songs in seven years (not counting 2005's holiday-themed Camp Holiday). Of course, for a renowned road warrior like Sexton recorded work isn't really the point, as this release like all the others is just more fodder for his famously blistering live sets (memorably captured on 2000's Live Wide Open). Still, it's a welcome dose of the man's music--a mix of broadly appealing jams, Van Morrison-esque drama and Sexton's earthy pipes, reminiscent of R&B greats like Otis Redding. "Happy" opens it up with a cheery, gospel-tinged vibe, riding easygoing organs and guitars straight into the equally summery "Thought I Knew Ya." Later, an electrified vocal track plugs a charge into the hop-a-long tune "Marry Me" while guest Nils Lofgren's juke joint guitar vibe livens up "How Far I've Come." Sexton can get a little corny with his lyrics ("Wild Angels" contains a few samples), but as a musician his overt earnestness is the secret to his success. It's not always subtle but the guy has an absolute knack for classic roots music. With the energy of a true believer, Sexton manages to infuse a timeless appeal into every track. --Matthew Cooke

5 out of 5 stars From Boston busker to buying his own home in the country.......2007-07-04

According to his April interview on NPR, that cabin just got running water, but this is Sexton's dream.

"Seeds" sows some joy along with the music. Gross describes Sexton's song as 'setpieces'. Sexton took his inspiration from Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny among others, that he can sound any way that he wants to. All the voices in this CD are his--even the gospel choir. He even can 'replay' his voice speaking backwards--which literally made me wonder if something had gone wrong with the radio.

"Marry Me" has recorded sounds from his cabin in the Adirondacks. Listen close and you'll hear dinner bells, salt and pepper shakers and all kinds of low tech devices.

"Failure" is even inspiring. In this song, Sexton thanks God for failure because he believes that a man learns when he fails. To me, Sexton's reached that contented place we all wish we could find and it rings true in his music. The CD's worth listening to again and again because you never get the whole message the first time.

2 out of 5 stars Catchy tunes but uninspired vocals.......2007-06-02

After all those years of hearing Martin perform live (since 1989 in that church basement in Worcester, MA)...when you hear this recording you just want to grab him, shake him, and yell, "SING!" The performer who has blown us all away with that amazing, soaring voice, refuses to put his trademark energy into any of these tunes. I don't know why, and it's very frustrating. The tunes are catchy, and several lend themselves to be taken "out" a bit...you can feel it coming...then it doesn't happen. Those who have never seen Martin live may enjoy the music: it is not bad at all...it's just not Martin.

3 out of 5 stars Light on blues, heavy on Happy.......2007-05-24

An upbeat and catchy album, with a good dose of soul, but less than previous albums. Perhaps I am a bit of a cynic, but Martin's happy-go-lucky lyrics:

Happy like the first day of summer vacation
Happy apple pie and relaxation
-from Happy, track 1

and

All you did to mold this kid
You filled my heart you blew my lid
Oh you make me feel so good
Ya give me good home cooking and gravy too
...
Everything's okay now
-from Failure, track 10

don't grab me like those of his angst-filled and broken-hearted earlier work. Two Parts Gospel one part blues-folk-rock compared to past albums where the four were more homogenous. Probably appropriate for an album whose overall theme is the realization of one's dream.

Martin has always nailed blues, putting his own spin on it, but the only bluesy tune on "Seeds" is "There Go I" which is more of a psalm than a blues song. Do you have to be beaten up and busted down to make a good album? Not necessarily, but to make one with the blues-infused magic like any one of his past? Maybe...

5 out of 5 stars At last!.......2007-05-22

It's been many years since Martin Sexton has released new material and, if you like Martin Sexton, you will like this album. There is nothing special or extraordinary here, just straight ahead music that his fans have become accustomed to. I just saw him in concert and he sang many tunes from here, and all fit perfectly in with the rest of his material.

This is a must for current Sexton fans; if you are new, I would start with 'The American'...I know, many purists think that record is "overproduced", but that is only in comparison to the sparse arrangements on previous albums. However, you really can't go wrong with any Martin Sexton record.

5 out of 5 stars Vintage Sexton!.......2007-05-21

Once again, Martin Sexton has created a collection of new hits which hopefully will make their way to our airwaves and give him the artistic credit of which he is so long overdo. Martin Sexton is one of those rare, raw vocalists who leaves his heart and soul on every lyric he sings. Whether performing live or in the studio, Martin's voice always rings strong with his reverential resonance especially on the lead track "Happy" and continuing on thru his politically laced and hopeful "Wild Angels". Spiritually soulful overtones carry on "There I Go" just as a carnival feel runs thru "Right Where You Belong", "Marry Me" and "How Far I've Come". But believe me folks, every song on this record has a way of embedding itself in your cranium to return later for you to enjoy even when the songs are not playing.

I remember seeing Martin live and hearing "Failure" prior to the new album and have to say it is one of my favorite tracks right along with the ballad "Still Think about You" which are both stand outs on this new album for me. "Keep It Simple" took a little time growing on me but as with some of Martin's other songs, it takes some time to fully enjoy them until you have had a chance to absorb all the sounds and songs created by this clever and creatively unique performing artist!

Thanks for a great CD!! Martin Sexton's SEEDS is a must own for EVERYONE!

So plant some SEEDS in your soul today!!

I bought this CD to listen to at work (I am 6 months pregnant). The quality is awesome and the choice of songs is perfect I can listen to it over and over.

5 out of 5 stars Great for putting kids to sleep!.......2007-06-08

I absolutely love this CD! In fact this is our second one because we wore out the first since we played it so much. It is very soothing, and in fact we used it to help both our kids (now 4 and 18 mo) go to sleep since they were babies. I highly recommend it!

5 out of 5 stars Very Relaxing.......2007-04-10

It is very soothing and really helps you relax. I enjoy listening to it in the car during my high stress commute.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have for all Parents of Little Children !!!.......2006-11-25

I bought this when my first baby was...well, a baby. That was 8 years ago. Now I am on my 4th copy of this cd (Mozart For Mothers to Be) and my 3rd child. Nothing works better. I'm on here to buy my 4th copy becasue I've worn them out over the years and have to keep replaceing them. My 8 and 3 year old still use it, and now the new baby, also. Make it part of your nightly bed time routine and you'll have good little sleepers in no time. I swear by it. It is very soothing, calming and not distracting so it won't drive you bonkers if you can hear it a little from the next room.

A truely great gift for new parents, or if you have a sleepless little one at home. Turn on the cd, turn down the lights and let it sooth them to sleep.

4 out of 5 stars Inspire the baby-within.......2005-12-13

Beyond sheer musical appreciation and enjoyment, Mozart's music in general is ideal for gently stimulating the "creative centers" as well as instilling a sense well-being. While there is much academic disagreement about the extent or reality of the so-called "Mozart Effect," it doesn't take a genius to observe how Mozart's music puts most people (and probably babies-to-be) in a happy mood ready to take on the day's challenges. There is a simplicity - yet elegance and musical brilliance - in his music that is also well-suited for the youngest of children.

The selections on this CD are all excellent and represent a nice range of Mozart's compostions, emphasising those that are ideal for creating a pleasant backdrop for leisure, dining and social occasions ("divertimentos"). The recordings are from the creme of musicians famous for their Mozart. Few works are as elegant and soaring as the Serenade #10 for winds - an astonishingly beautiful tune made famous from the early scenes of the movie, "Amadeus." Mozart supreme gifts of music are even seen in such humble "background music" as these pieces. And such continuity of warm, leisurely tones as these over 70 minutes is ideal for inspiring the baby to-be if that is why you are considering this CD. Better to expose a baby to the gentile, lyrical music of Mozart than to the dissonant, loud and disturbing tones of some classical music written well after Mozart.

As the reviewer below rightfully notes, compilation CD's of various unrelated works like this one is not quite how classical music is best meant to be heard. But in a way it is better for many to start with such collections like this - especially for those who just want the more quiet selections that are unintrusive. In that respect, this collection can be satisfying for most anyone (not just moms or babies). I have a huge classical music collection, but still really enjoy listening to one full CD of similar-temperament music like this one that flows easily and smoothly that doesn't demand my attention but only seeks to delight. And, in the end, that was the simple and primary goal of many of Mozart's compositions - to be purely enjoyed and delighted.

It's not that surprising that Rent, a successful musical with a strong youth following, would have transferred from the New York stage to film. What is remarkable is that the material has aged very well and that most of the original cast have made the trip to the silver screen. This is no small feat since nearly ten years have elapsed since the show's Off-Broadway debut and the film's release. When it opened in 1996, Jonathan Larson's rock musical based on neobohemian life in the gritty East Village felt a bit hackneyed at times; now, Rent feels more like a Broadway fantasy about life on the edge, and that new element actually works in the show's favor. The two cast additions--Rosario Dawson (replacing Daphne Rubin-Vega as Mimi) and Tracie Thomas (replacing Fredi Walker as Joanne)--act well and with emotion, but aren't quite powerful enough. They are eclipsed by vets such as Anthony Rapp, Idina Menzel, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, and Taye Diggs, who of course had the chance to perfect their roles on stage and can also be heard on the original cast recording. It's a pleasure to hear these stalwarts New York performers strut their stuff again. This soundtrack will please the show's fans, and probably attract new ones. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

One of the longest-running shows (since 1996) in the history of Broadway, and one of its most beloved, RENT was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on Puccini's classic opera "La Boheme," Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic in New York's gritty East Village. Now the powerful musical marks its 10th year on stage by coming to the big screen, accompanied by RENT The Motion Picture Soundtrack, produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, Alanis Morissette).

You can practically feel the scenes come to life through the sound track! Its that good. Any true rent head worth a salt to his or her name would have this in their collection. It is too good to pass up!

5 out of 5 stars Love this Musical!!.......2007-06-20

I absolutely loved this in the movie form and would love to see the live show. But since that will be a while in coming; getting the soundtrack is the next best thing. These people can SING! This way I can hear the songs anywhere at anytime; not just watching the movie.

5 out of 5 stars great soundtrack.......2007-04-26

I have own this soundtrack pretty much since it came out...

I have never been that big on musicals, but when the movie first came out my friend dragged me to the movies with him to see the movie, and right away I fell in love with it...and for the next week I had the songs stuck in my head, they just wouldn't go away...they haunted me in my sleep, but in a good way...I fall in love with all the music, so i had to get this soundtrack so I would be able to listen to these wonderful songs all the time, especially till the movie came out onto dvd, which i also own and love to death. The songs are so addictive...I am actually listening to the soundtrack as I'm writing this review, I can't pick out one song that is my favorite, I love all of them. If i had to choice "Will I" or "Without You". "Will I" is such a touching song on its own, but when its patterned with the movie it hit me hard, great song, it brings tears to my eyes when i listen it. And the same goes with "Without You" its just a very touching song and it connects with my life. Overall one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard.

5 out of 5 stars First Time a Film has been as Good as the Original Musical.......2007-02-23

I will keep this short, because " M J Heilbron Jr. 'Dr. Mo' " said it perfectly.

I have never seen a movie that has been able to capture everything a musical did.

The actors were perfectly selected for the cast. The voices amazing and the acting flawless. Who knew Taye Diggs could act and sing.

Buy this CD. You will love it every bit as much as you loved the original Broadway CD... if not more.

5 out of 5 stars The music will captivate you.......2007-02-21

Even though I have the CD, whenever I'm flipping channels and I come across the movie "Rent", no matter how many times I've seen it and regardless of what point the movie is at, it is like I am mesmerized, and I know from experience that I am going nowhere until the movie is over. My husband feels the same way and we've both discussed why this is. The answer is the music. It actually pulls us both along through the movie. Just as one great song ends, another begins, and we can't pull ourselves away until the movie - and thus the music - ends. There actually isn't a tedious, boring, or even mediocre piece in the whole musical. Every song has a style different from all of the others and each is quite powerful. The music is not the meat on the bones in this movie version of the Broadway musical, it is actually the very bones under the meat. My favorite is "I'll Cover You". Remarkably, this song works both as an upbeat love song for Angel and Collins and also as a funeral dirge. It is very amazing that Jonathan Larson, on his first outing, could come up with even one of these amazing songs, much less all of them. It makes me sad not only for the loss of Jonathan Larson the human being, but the loss of such an amazing artist. I highly recommend this CD. I think you'll find yourself hooked on these unique and powerful tunes.

Amazon.com essential recording

The great irony of John Barry's Academy Award-winning score for Out of Africa (which also took the Oscar as Best Picture) is that it almost never was; director Sydney Pollack had originally envisioned the film with native African music, going as far as laying the indigenous score down as he was editing. But the weight of John Barry's arguments--not to mention his considerable track record and composing gifts--held sway, and the composer delivered on his intent: a lush, romantic masterpiece for the ages. --Jerry McCulley

Out of Africa is a CD with beautiful music. When I listen to it, I imagine myself in the nature of Africa. You will enjoy it!

2 out of 5 stars CD has missing track.......2006-12-03

John Barry's compositions are pleasantly sweeping. There's nothing wrong with this album, just not really enough to recommend it.

I was puzzled to learn that some time between my buying the LP record and the issuing of this CD, the track "The Music of Goodbye (love theme from Out of Africa)" was omitted. It's not that this song, sung by Melissa Manchester, is a must-have; it's more that it's sneaky to leave off tracks when you reissue a soundtrack in another format.

I absolutely love the music from Out of Africa, but I do not recommend this CD at all. The sound quality is so poor that I could only bear listening to it once.

5 out of 5 stars Worth Buying!.......2006-11-06

Highly recommended for those who love instrumental music. A lot of beautiful flute, strings and some piano and harp. Very contemplative and hauntingly beautiful music.

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2006-11-04

For me, one of the best music of last decade. Romantic, full of sense. Please give a listen at least
