loved it!.......2007-07-16

I personally enjoyed this album, I have been a fan for awhile, so I must say that I am somewhat biased....

Truely a wonderful body of music.......2007-06-15

Oh man, where to begin? I bought this disc the week it came out and here it is 10 yrs later, and I STILL listen to it regularly. As has been mentioned here, no it's not heavy. That doesn't mean it's not good. Matter of fact, it's great. This disc meant so much to me when I first bought it, that I actually bought a few copies and gave them to friends just so they could hear this. It wasn't everyones cup o' tea but they knew how much it meant to me.

One of the Best Recrods I Have Come Across in a Long Time.......2007-04-10

From the moment I started listening to this I couldn't stop. This quickly became on of my favorite albums. If you thought it was cool when Alice in Chains release SAP and Jar of Flies, then you WILL enjoy this record. It is an amazing melange of songs that are mellow but still quite heavy. I am genuinely shocked that songs like "Way Beyond Empty" and "Road Back Home" never got air play. While "Hangover Music" comes close, I only hope that Zakk Wylde will decide to make another record of similar style and caliber.

WYLDE'S MAGNUM OPUS AND A GENUINE FIVE STAR ALBUM.......2007-01-26

There are no bad Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society albums, period, and in fact most are really good. However, this album is something very-very special, and in my opinion Zakk's best work by a large margin, which is very unusual for me to be saying because this is not Zakk's hardest/heaviest work, which is always what I gravitate towards. Every aspect of this album is wonderful and beautiful, and even though this is not even close to Zakk's hardest/heaviest work, it is also in no way a rock ballad *ank-fest, you likely already know that is not Zakk's style, as he has spent the better part of his career telling us what a bad*** he is. Everyone knows what a talented and diverse guitarist Zakk is, but I think he also has a voice that is tailor made for Rock/Metal, and on some of these tracks his vocal performance is truly phenomenal. Now, if you read my many other CD reviews you will see that I have never used the word masterpiece to describe a CD, and in the big picture of Rock/Metal as a whole I don't know if I would consider this CD at that level, maybe I would, but at any rate this is without question Zakk's masterwork. If you don't own this CD you are missing out on something truly special. This just may be a perfect album. I can not recommend this CD more highly.

A COMPLETE ROCK MASTERPIECE !!!.......2006-09-07

GREAT SONGS, GREAT PERFORMANCE, GREAT PRODUCTION, A PERFECT ALBUM. THIS ALBUM IS ZAKK'S SWAN SONG. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY ROCK FAN. NOTHING MORE TO SAY. A+++

This follow-up collection of "music from and inspired by" the WB network's successful teen witch-with-a-family-twist series offers up a compelling, distaff spin on the first volume's contemporary mix of pop and rock, gathering together 11 all-female tracks, an eclectic mix that spans the diversity of The Donnas' rousing rock opener "Take It Off" and a beat-savvy remix of Broadway-cum-Vegas diva Sarah Brightman's "Free." Its other disparate, yet inviting corners feature signature performances from alt.divas Liz Phair (the gritty "Take A Look" from her eponymous fourth album), Vanessa Carlton and Aussie newcomer Missy Higgins, a shimmering remix of Sarah McLachlan's emotive classic "Fallen," Shivaree's spooky "I Close My Eyes" and the deliciously haunting "House" by Zero 7—though teen-pop lip-sync queen Ashlee Simpson's sugary "Pieces of Me" can't rise above its slinky David Garcia and High Spies remix. --Jerry McCulley

When has Zero 7 been played in the episodes? Season, episode?
Why is that song on the soundtrack? Same for Shivaree.
My personal opinion: this album is pretty crap.

Looking for Season 1 Ep 3? song..stone is sand and water.......2007-02-11

Hi there,
Can anyone help me trace that song? thanks.

Charmed songs.......2007-01-09

Arrived in a timely matter and excellent condition. Songs are not what I thought they would be. Don't recognize them as being song in any of the episodes.

For: hockeygirl537 "Kristina".......2006-08-03

The Charmed theme song is a Smith's song named "How Soon is Now?" from their album "Meat is Murder". However, it is sung here by Richard Butler from Love Spit Love (formerly of the Psychedelic furs). You can find their two albums here on Amazon.

Here's your help Kristina..........2006-07-31

Kristina,

The Charmed theme song is a Smith's song named "How Soon is Now?" from their album "Meat is Murder". They are the original writers/performers of the song, not sure who actually is performing the version as heard on Charmed (it sounds a bit different to me, and is obviously edited to shorten the song).

Typical movie cd soundtrak formula:


include every bloody song EXCept the best ones, first and last, "disposable teens" and "Haunted"

this is why these albums end up on amazon starting at 0.21c.

hey whats .......2005-12-29

Somebody tell me the name of the song that is played when the cast starts at the ending of the movie. you can tell me by email : naveed_one@hotmail.com . thanks, I'll try myself hearing the samples until I get any help from anyone.

missing some of the songs from the movie.......2003-03-04

This cd would have been alot better if they would have included Marilyn Manson's "Disposable Teens" and Poe's "Haunted", but some how they screwed that up. Don't get me wrong, it's an ok cd, but it's just not the same without the other two. But anyways, my favorites are Lie Down, Mind, Stick It Up, Suicide Is Painless, PS, Old Enough, & Feel Good Hit Of The Summer. My only complaint is, why is Stick It Up edited?! That really makes me mad. Oh well, I guess the cd was worth it. I've had the cd since it came out, and since then I have probably bought all of the albums from the more famous bands on it. So you might like the actual bands' albums better. I think I do. That's all.

The mutts nutts.......2002-01-23

I thought this soundtrack was excellent, solid top tunes throughout the begining to the end. You can winge 'they could of had this and not that' but who cares, it was good to hear At the drive in and Queens of the Stoneage in a movie. It was a fast and entertaining soundtrack for an fast entertaining movie. Much better than the miserable first movie which didn't even bother with tunes. I mean, if you go camping in the woods, you'd make sure you took a Brixton breafcase wouldn't you?

Seems like only yesterday the Kronos Quartet stepped up their career as musical mavericks with a coveted, wide-open contract with Nonesuch Records. Now it's Nonesuch's turn to give Kronos the big-package nod, gathering key works recorded by the group--from younger composers and time-tested veterans alike--into this 10-CD box set. As one might expect, the set is stuffed with contrasts, from the first CD, with its 11-part, upstepping John Adams suite and then the far more solemn Missa Syllabica from Arvo Pärt. Nearly 20 of these pieces here were composed expressly for Kronos, pitched and sculpted for their easily-racked mixture of straightforward string quartet roles and intelligently restructured approaches to the even the simplest gestures. Perhaps most key here is George Crumb's Black Angels, in large part due to Crumb's role in inspiring David Harrington to form Kronos 25 years ago. Crumb's music spirals and chases through the air, engaging high pitches and fast pacings as if they were ends in themselves. Gone from this set are most of the short snippets that have filled some of Kronos's other fine single CD recordings. In abundance instead are some of the legendary works: Morton Feldman's long, endlessly patient Piano and String Quartet (with Aki Takahashi), Steve Reich's unnerving Different Trains, and Henryk Górecki's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2. There are also some of the astounding Eastern European works from Night Prayers as well, including the stunning Quartet No. 4 from Sofia Gubaidulina. And of course there are the Kronos biggie pieces: Philip Glass's works fill one CD, and so do Terry Riley's. What's more, Riley's Cadenza on the Night Plain and "G Song" are presented here in entirely fresh, new recordings. What the listener gets is a huge block of music, full of shifting colors and textures but perfectly apt in giving a wide-angle vantage on what Kronos has done for contemporary music. --Andrew Bartlett

A worthwhile investment.......2003-10-06

It would be an understatement to say that this is a fabulous box set. All 10 CDs are packed with some fabulous music that beautifull highlights the first 25 years of the Kronos Quartet, and the booklet included provides a great history of the group as well as nice blurbs on the composers and their pieces.

Equally nice about the box set is the inclusion of multiple new recordings, thus making this a worthwhile investment for fans. The Peter Sculthorpe Quartets are a particularly nice addition, as are the added Piazzolla, Part, and Riley compositions.

Along with this, the "classic" Kronos recordings are all here: "Black Angels" "Different Trains" "Salome Dances for Peace" (well, exceprts), and Feldman's Piano and String Quartet. Of particular note, I think is the inclusion of Gubaidulina's Quartet No 4, a fabulous recording that is otherwise hidden in Kronos' recording "Night Prayers."

Yes, this is quite an investment, but I firmly believe that it's worth it - longtime fans and newcomers alike have a lot to gain from this collection.

Excelent compilation!.......2001-09-09

I like more classic period, like Hayden, but Cronos does it very well, technicaly excelent. The ten sets are wonderful recordings and the selection is unique. It deserves the investment, If you buy it, youre going to have more than ten hours of joy.

Amazingly Now Retrospective.......2001-06-26

Since their youthful start in the NW back in the 70's, Kronos has collaborated with, commissioned, or just played such a breadth of musicians it almost seems that breadth - and especially non western world culture - is their mission. But, while this conservatively and esthetically designed 25-yr-retrospective box (with its increasingly sophisticated photo-portraits) belies the pulsation of social angst and conscience that underlies the bulk of the inclusions, the latter concern, its vitality and relevance - and not some stylish chasing after cultural breadth - is what overtakes the listener/reader, rather soon. I say reader, since the booklet is very helpful, especially to the relative novice, and well balanced in its coverage of composers, historical contexts, performers, individual texts, etc.

There are probably more non contemporaries performed by the Quartet over the years than this selection would indicate. That undercuts their ties with the sense of revolution in music throughout the ages, but it leaves more time for the present: and that is where one expects the group wishes to be, is most contributory and challenged, and is best and most fairly judged. Highly recommended, both for those who know Kronos's work well and wish a handsome tribute on their shelf, and for those who do not but are open and ready to be affected, whether impacted esthetically, reminded socio-morally, or whatever combination of both befits.

How Could You Not Listen?.......1998-12-19

My opinion pales when compared to this CD. Indeed the group's ingeniousness, its knowing and its balls are in full display here, hopefully to put to rest any lingering contention that there is little more to Kronos than form. To any person who accepts the merits of 20th-century music, this CD presents the genius of our culture and teaches that daring and ingenuity do not have to be sacrificed on the road to technical brilliance. My only regret is that the CD does not include Kronos's interpretation of Bartok. But, so what? Górecki's here, as are Part and Benshoof. Listen to this CD -- soar and struggle with it.

Good for help to know up-to-date contemporaly music.......1998-11-28

The Kronos Quartet has released many albums. There let us see what the quartet has tried new titles and arrenges in each period. But this is the best set for understand the quartet as summary of thier works. The CDs are distributed by each composers and we can see thier identities easily.Unfortunately this dose not include all but be enough to see what the quartet has been.I hope that every classical music fans(not only contemporaly music fans) listen this CDs.

Total Haunted House Material!.......2005-01-14

I run a Haunted House every Halloween season and this compilation will go very nicely for the queue line. Not a bad song in the bunch. There's stuff to keep people on their toes, weirded out and just plain pumped up to enter the haunt. A definite mood setter!

Hypnotizing.......2005-06-01

I have been listen to this for a few years now and find all of the songs very good. However I do wish that I could find more music by Teisan. I find that his for his very hypnotic. Every time I hear him it's like I being transported to another time and place.

Bewitchment.......2003-08-22

This entire CD puts me into an almost trance like state. Haunted is enticing, eerie, and... haunting. Ophelia is my favorite though, unbelievably beautiful, a touch of sadness and longing come through, bringing the listener into another world. Carnival ride brings a different twist, dragging you into a slightly crazed and exciting world... I wish they had kept the name Coven13 though, Seven13 just doesn't have the same ring to it.

A CD that moved my Body & Mind!!.......2001-01-22

A voice that could lead the pack of all the new top acts out today!And music that will lift your spirit to new heights in your daily life! I recomend turning down the lights and putting this cd in your player and sharing a bottle of wine with that special someone in your life tonight!!!

Refreshing!.......2001-01-19

Original lyrics! Original tunes! The male vocalist has a wonderfully rich voice, but the keyboardist is a true master. The lyrics are touching at times, thought provoking at other times. Thoroughly delighted with this CD and looking forward to seeing another one produced soon.

Coven 13, with or without the "witch" hype - it's good music.......2001-01-17

I found Book of Shadows to be an interesting blend of many things. For the pagan, there are themes woven within the lyrics to satisfy. For the non-pagan there is great musical arrangement and thought provoking lyrics. The range of style in the music found on this CD proves the talents of those involved with creating it. One of the things I appreciate most is that the songs in both music and lyrics provoke thought. I have read recent negative reviews by "pagans" admonishing Coven 13 for not being "direct" enough with their "paganism". I have to disagree. I think by being less direct, they open the door to people who are also not pagan. Therefore not limiting themselves or their audience. I have to disagree with another couple of recent reviews (that really sound more like personal "sour grapes" than reveiws) that praise the singer and mock the musician. This CD, although far from perfect is well put together, the composer is obviously highly learned in her art and the singer is obviously talented as well. I'd recommend this CD to anyone who likes something new and doesn't mind having thought provoked while listening to great music.

not the best.......2002-06-12

This has some good selections but really doesn't have the best because it is so subjective. i certainly got bored with many of the pieces they selected in the group, while others had my foot stomping. i recommend getting the original stuff anyways.

"must have compilation for film buffs".......2000-11-24

Milan Records celebrates the history of popular cinema with a 2-CD anthology of the music that drove the most affectionately remembered films of the modern cinematic era. These indelible musical impressions come courtesy of the most renowned film score composers of our time - Maurice Jarre, Max Steiner, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Ennio Morricone, Bernard Herrmann, Randy Edelman and Henry Mancini.

Released into two general categories, the album presents moments from films of "Love, Passion & Comedy", on disc one - gives us the most powerful classic love themes from "WEST SIDE STORY", "DR. ZHIVAGO" and "LOVE STORY", and features newer classics from "TITANIC", "THE TRUMAN SHOW", "UNCHAINED MELODY" and on the lighter side "A FISH CALLED WANDA", "BENNY & JOON" and one of the most familiar themes ever written "THE PINK PANTHER" from legendary icon Henry Mancini.

On disc two "ACTION, ADVENTURE & SUSPENSE", includes themes from Alfred Hitchcock's landmark films "NORTH BY NORTHWEST" and the absolutely unforgettable "PSYCHO" finale...then the greatest action hero of all time leads off with Monty Norman's "JAMES BOND THEME", and action cues from "BACKDRAFT" and "SPEED"...next up the Academy Award winning theme from "THE LAST EMPEROR" and "GETTYSBURG" main title, one of the best-selling score CD's of all time.

A must have for "movie-music" collectors and film buffs, including music lovers and anyone who really enjoys a little nostalgia now and then...thank you Milan for this trip down memory lane and the amazing legacy of 20th Century Cinema!

The original Blair Witch Project, the gothic Z-budget horror film that became the 1990's most unlikely blockbuster, was so impoverished it literally didn't have a score. Its soundtrack ultimately became one of those suspicious, quickly produced "Music inspired by" collections of motley rock tracks. The inevitable sequel was well-funded, though only a fraction as financially successful. Arguably, one of the producer's wisest investments the second time around was hiring Carter Burwell to produce the music. The musician has risen to the occasion here with one of his most experimental scores, an exercise in dark atmospherics using samples of falling water and rustling wind coupled with a relentless rhythmic thrust. The effect is an eerie, all too compelling soundscape of the mysterious forest and its impending terror; nary a recognizable melody surfaces until halfway through, by then suffused in a tense stand-off between the organic and the electronic. Although subtly reminiscent of The Shining, this is Burwell at his most distinct and inventive. --Jerry McCulley

MESMERIZING!! CHILLING!! HYPNOTIC!! SURREAL!!.......2005-11-08

I'm not going to bore you with the details of the movie, artist or methods used to produce this recording.

Here is what you would really like to know:

The definitive Blair Witch soundtrack-without the "music"
from a compilation of new bands.

Forget the film! Close your eyes! This CD will bring you closer to the Blair Witch than you thought possible!

Mesmerizing! Chilling! Hypnotic! Surreal! Lush textures and sounds! (Industrial-Goth bands take note!)

A "must have" CD of premium background sound for your dungeon or chamber!

So very easy with Amazon on your side!!

It may be hard to believe, but the music is amazing.......2002-03-11

I had no interest in the stupid film, but I picked up the CD based on Burwell's previous work with the Coen's. NOTHING he has done before could prepare you for this EXTREMELY innovative and atmospheric music. Creepy and elegant, it is far more original than the work Burwell is usually hired to crank out. He must have been given total free reign here, whereas I think he is a victim of being too versatile and professional. Sure this is a slick record, and may lack soul, but it is great music for a long drive in the woods.

Interesting, if not Burwell's best work........2002-01-12

While I admire Carter Burwell's innovation, and I think this score is better than the movie, I don't think it's his best work, or admire it as much as some of the others here. While it does contain unique use of samples in music, as others have noted, the average listener might find some of the tracks monotonous or their mind drifiting as they listen to it.

The easist way to review this is to say that if you liked the feel of the films, and a sample based score build around natural sounds is your cup of tea, it might be worth your money. If not, then skip it. I would normally give a score like this 3 stars, but I'm giving it 4 because of it's unique attempts in sound design.

Far better than the song CD (or the film).......2000-10-28

Much of the music is built from forest sounds like rocks and water which were electronically processed to create otherworldly ambiences. There is also the modern air of ancient rituals - wiccan raves. An interesting change of direction for Carter Burwell after his more traditional scores for "Being John Malkovich" and "Fargo".

"spine-tingling score, rivals even the scariest scores".......2000-10-27

Milan and Carter Burwell have given it their best shot, and they've hit the mark, just in time for halloween..."Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2". Burwell scored "The General's Daughter", "Being John Malkovich" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", a prominent composer, but with this latest venture he steers away from the trend of loud orchestra, often heard in contemporary horror films, concentrating on the innate sense of fear, like the dark woods would evoke.

Carter creates chills not by what you see and hear, but by what your imagination invents due to his music's tone, relying on melodic and harmonic development, sounds of the forest build an emotional effect by clinging to the characters relentlessly.

Opening track is a good example "ROCK WATER WIND", sounds of water hitting rock, the wind...all of this is created by percussion and drums with rhythms wildly surrounding you and engulfing your mind completely..."RAIN" is another cue, which gives you a drifting feeling, never knowing to what purpose. Even unrecognizable sounds work as motifs, they recur through the score and become familiar, blossoming darkly at the end.

Milan, is always in there trying to quench the thirst of the avid "movie-music collector", this score is simply captivating to the listener...a great addition to your ever growing collection!

acoustic guitar at it's best.......2000-02-08

This is a must have for any lover of acoustic blues or rock. This is a magnificient piece of workmanship and talent. Overall this is the best acoustic blues I have ever heard. If you like the Allmans & Skynyrd this title is a must have. If you have to pay a little extra this one is worth it's weight in gold.

Zack Rulez.......1999-11-27

What A wonderful work of art!One of the very best, heartfelt recordings I have had the pleasure of hearing.If you love music you must have this cd. Zack is truly blessed with talent.

A lesson in guitar playing........1999-09-19

I have never heard a compilation of songs that has sounded as good as Zakk Wylde has put together on Book Of Shadows. Unfortunate that it is so hard to find. It is a coveted CD to all my musician friends. A jam would not be complete without playing Zakk's tunes.

exellent guitar work, truly shows versatility and roots........1999-08-25

Zakk Wylde has a vey SKYNARD feel to this album and shows his influence of both them and when he was with Ozzy and company. Zakk is probobly one of the the best(if not the best) studio guitarists we have today. If you thought Pride and Glory was good, you would be in for a treat with Book of Shadows.

I have never heard of Zakk Wilde.......1999-07-10

I have never even heard of Zakk Wilde, but I like Black SabbAth so I might like Zakk. I just wanted to say that my name is Zac and This guy spells his name really weird. Go ahead and buy this album if you want to.
