1999

Amazon.com
Two of the most revered producers and remixers of the French Invasion, Phillipe Zdar and Hubert Blanc-Francard more than have the skills to toss off crates of jiggy dance product if they so desired. But on their debut as Cassius, they've created something very different, a seamlessly postironic piece of abstract hip-house that's so off-kilter and fun, it feels subversive. Subtle gospel samples and a bluesy '30s trumpet bring on the opener, "Cassius 1999," then flip it into a flashy Latin electro super-digitale, and it's a good clue to where this whole thing wants to go. Thus we find plus-sized freestyle bass lines blithely slung under the vit-vit of old-school acid or a hard-house shuffle invaded both by toony synth arpeggios and liquid cobalt washes à la Richard James. Somehow, Cassius make it all cook. 1999 more than lives up to its unreasonable advance hype--a gorgeous and surprisingly restrained showcase for two visionaires. --Steve Lafreniere

Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Mamma Mia Musical CD.......2007-03-21

This is a grand list of songs from the original musical when it was first introduced in England. The songs from ABBA are very recognizable even if you haven't seen the show. But, making a trip to NY to see the Broadway production is a plus. ENJOY!

JUST GREAT MUSIC.......2007-03-08

I RECENTLY SAW THE SHOW MAMMA MIA IN LAS VEGAS. ALWAYS LIKES THE MUSIC OF ABBA, AND THOUGH THE PLOT WAS THIN, THE MUSIC WAS WELL PERFORMED. IN THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM, THE ENGLISH ACCENTS WERE A BIT MUCH, BUT THE SONGS WERE GREAT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ABBA.

Like the Black Crowes themselves, the greatest-hits collection A Tribute to a Work in Progress hearkens back to the good old days of best-of collections: you get a bunch of songs you've probably heard on the radio a million times and that's it. These are arguably the group's best songs, but there are no unreleased outtakes or remixes to force rabid collectors to purchase the disc for the sake of two songs. This straightforward document of a straightforward band is also the best entryway to the group's fabulous, swaggering, ballsy, bluesy rock & roll--that is, next to their 1992 breakthrough, Southern Harmony & Musical Companion. While arranged chronologically, what one hears here is the Atlanta-based group playing great, unpretentious Stones-, Faces-, and Zep-influenced rock. This music was made for pure, visceral enjoyment, so play it really loud and dance around. --Mike McGonigal

I love this CD. The music is not too heavy or too bubblegumish, it's just plain rock music. A great buy.

Insane that "Sometimes Salvation" isn't on here. .......2007-06-23

That's easily one of their best songs (from their best album "Southern Harmony and Musical Companion"). Wasn't that a single? even if it wasn't, it's a perennial favorite among fans.

I purchased this CD on Feb 5, was supposed to receive by Feb 8. Unfortunately, the delivery system is definitly not as good as the cd. I finally received it March 1st. It was well worth the wait and aggravation of calling a few times to find out where it was. I can say I like every single song on the cd. Usually, I skip ahead to this song or that one. No need to here. Great songs, great cd....have to admit great price, just really lousy shipping. Better luck with that part next time.

Amazon.com essential recording

Prince's fifth album came right before the lascivious multi-instrumentalist became a huge star with his 1984 film and soundtrack, Purple Rain. But Prince had already proved himself to be the most audacious talent to emerge in the 1980s, and 1999, the bulk of which features Prince on all the instruments, reflects the dance-rock styles that he also brought to the acts he produced, particularly the Time. Prince knows how to run a one-man-band individual instruments don't blend together as much as they compete in a funky showdown which allows tracks like "Automatic," "D.M.S.R.," and "Delirious" to sustain their long playing times. But the album's two enduring hits, "1999" and "Little Red Corvette," outshine the rest, and define the essential roles that rock and funk play in Prince's music. "Little Red Corvette" is a sexy song about a car, which would have been enough to make it a terrific rock song even if it didn't also boast an infectious chorus and a great guitar part. As for "1999," count on it being the dance song of the millennial year. --John Milward

Customer Reviews:

1999... Legacy cemented.......2007-07-13

1999 is an album for the ages. Bumping funk and creative and fun tracks like 1999, Little Red Corvette, and my personal favorite D.M.S.R. make this album probably one of the 80's top 5 albums and one of musics top 40 albums of all time.

Prince unlike Michael Jackson has not struggled to reinvent himself, because Prince has been constantly experimenting with new sounds and new ways to create his masterpieces.

It is hard to believe that 1999 preceded Purple Rain, but did an incredible job teasing the world's appetite for more of the "Purple One"

This is a must have for any R&B collection and any run of the mill Prince fan!

Great Album, that should live in the history books of music for decades to come!

Pure Genius!.......2007-05-13

This is one of my all time favorite albums/CDs EVER! It was so far ahead of its time, as is usually the case with Prince's music. I listen to this every day while driving in to work, sometimes while doing homework, or cleaning house. Regardless of what I am doing, as soon as "1999" starts I am ready to take on anything.

I adore Prince and admire him for his God-given musical talent and his self-confidence. There is something to be said for a person who can write a number one hit overnight AND play all of the instruments on that number one hit (When Doves Cry from the Purple Rain CD). Not only is he one of the most forward-thinking musicians of all time, he is, without question, THE most talented musician in pop history. He is also the sexiest musician I have ever seen. I thought that when I saw him in concert in 1986 in England, in the movies Purple Rain and Under the Cherry Moon and still think it today, over 20 years later, when he performed the half-time show for Superbowl XLI. Even now, in my 40s, when I watch his movies I get chills just listening to him sing and scream. To meet him would be a 20+ year dream come true for me.

Dance, Music, Sex, Romance.......2007-01-28

As I slowly put the cold cd into the overly large boombox that occupys a large portion of my room, my disco ball slowly turns overhead. I must admit that the mood was perfect when it all started. 1999 came and went along with the whole album. The disco ball reflected smooth colored lights that resembeled what Prince's stuido might have looked like. My ears hadn't really heard such a straightforward album putting out sounds of rock, pop and of course funk. New favorites were positioned in my brain, the gargantuan size of Prince's catalogue really makes your mind implode trying to get every song, but there is something so pure and raw about this album that makes you listen to it over and over. By the time the album ended, my eyes were wide with excitement, not because it was now one of my all time favorite albums, but because I had found one of my new favorite artists.

1999: With out question or comment...10/10

Little Red Corvette: There should be no skipping. This is a jam, and everyone should appreciate how significant this is...10/10

Delirious: Cheesy keyboard, sexual lyrics, and amazing delivery..10/10

Let's Pretend We're Married: Well it runs about 7:50, but it has an irresistable groove that gives this one the title of one the best ignored singles that prince released...10/10

D.M.S.R: Party...9/10

Automatic: A-U-T-O-matic, not hardley it runs for about 9:00, it is still very good...9/10

Something in the Water: Weird song that would, I guess, inspire what would become Computer Blue. This one is like many of Prince's songs, why you done me wrong? and he doesn't understand...10/10

Free: Cheesiest song of all time! 80's vintage sounding song about the world...10/10

Lady Cab Driver: This one has so many hooks that you can't get your head around it....10/10

All the Critics Love U in New York: No Comment

International Lover: Very appropriate ending to this album...10/10

Prince is just amazing!.......2007-01-11

Prince is a very talented musician and as a fellow musician I see his music as very eclectic and very daring. The album starts off with the smash "1999" and it is the long version not the radio edit that people are used to. Absolutely one of my favorites and the reason I got into Prince "Little Red Corvette" is a spectacular rock song that was way ahead of its time. Another one of my favorites is "Something In The Water Does Not Compute" I just love the sound of the synth in the background. First time I heard "Lady Cab Driver" I was suprised but, once you get into Prince you realize that's who he is and what he really likes to talk about. Prince's music is known to be controversial to some but to the rest of us he is an amazing all in one icon who wraps up everything plain and simple into a nice piece of vinyl that we immensely enjoy.

The album is purely 80s era and during this period The Purple One heavily wrote dance and party numbers that have kept fans like me begging for more. Dance, Music, Sex, Romance aisdes from the longevity of the track and the thumping bass line it is a hell of a track to jam to. If you purchase this album, you won't regret it. This is a classic for those who like to party and dance. I believe that this album is worth every cent while, also making you come back for more from The Purple One.

This is one of the worst of the 80's.......2006-10-29

I knew after 1983 things would never be the same with Rock and Roll ever again. The music was becoming more clean sounding with technology more or less replacing the majority of musicians. This would be one of the first ones. I remember hearing the first single from this which was "Little Red Corvette" I still say probably one of Prince's best songs, and the only other tune that's passible is "Let's Pretend We're Married". Everything else is horrible. The title track to me is a mindless, brainless dance tune, and I feel has no inadmissable value to life. Unfortunately, I guess the only way to get girls is to like this song. I also didn't take too much fancy to the other hit which was "Delirious". I am somewhat disappointed with this as to me Prince is a gifted performer, and plays a decent guitar, so why go technical? I just am appalled at the way music wound up, and it all started here.

For better or worse, John Williams has completely reshaped the art of the soundtrack. His scores for Star Wars, E.T., and Jaws are simply unforgettable, and his knack for tugging at our heartstrings is uncanny. John Williams: Greatest Hits 1969-1999 collects 30 years of the composer's best-loved themes into one double-CD package. You'll find all the soundtrack moments you'd expect from Indiana Jones, Close Encounters, and Schindler's List, along with a few surprises (The Reivers Americana-filled main theme and Williams's 1984 Olympic theme, for starters). Most of the earlier works have been digitally rerecorded by Williams, so while you may not get the original recording of these works here, nothing shows its age. And although we really do get only his "greatest hits" (the longest track is the nearly 10-minute-long Close Encounters theme), most of these soundtracks can be purchased in their entirety for the true aficionado. John Williams may be an acquired taste, but this set proves why--year after year--he scores some of the most successful films Hollywood can produce. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

A Great Compilation of Williams' Best Scores.......2007-07-26

This two disc CD does an excellent job of covering thirty years of Academy Award winner John Williams' greatest hits. It contains main title themes from films such as Star Wars, E.T., Jaws, Indiana Jones, Home Alone, and of course the best theme of them all (in my opinion), Superman. It also contains two principal themes from the summer Olympics that NBC has used in its broadcasts since 1996 when John Williams composed the album "Summon the Heroes."

The sound quality is excellent and I've been extremely pleased with the product.

Bottom Line: Great CD with unforgettable hits. Buy it today if you're interested in it.

Beethoven is an insect compaired to this titian of composition........2007-07-18

In the past when I went to movies, I rarely thought about the music unless it was a popular song that was being played. I never realized how much the score had to do with the overall effect I felt while watching the show.

Once I started paying attention to the music and identifying different pieces that I enjoyed from different movies, I was suprized to realize that John Williams had composed many, many of them.

This CD contains possibably the greatest most timeless music I have heard. Sure, you, like my classical music loving boss, have probably already written off my opinion as foolish or ignorant. Honestly, I don't care.

I like Mozart, Bach and the rest, and they have their place, but their music doesn't move through me like Williams. While this collection is far from a box set of his work, all the most popular pieces are there: Raders March (Indiana Jones), Star Wars, Superman, Empire March (Darth Vader). None of the operas or preludes the other guys made up generate the experience I get from listening to the opening stanza of Superman.

While it is very hard to sing along to these pieces, if you have an office as I do, it makes great background music. Everyone who comes in is pleasently caught off guard and I enjoy watching them trying to place the various songs that are playing.

Even if you disagree that Williams is better than Wagner or Debussy, if you enjoy his music, you will love this CD. "These are the droids you are looking for."

An excellent survey of this great film composer's music.......2007-06-15

John Willams' film music is of such high quality it still holds up away from its source material.

Williams not only has the talent to write memorable melodies but to expertly interpolate themes from the story into his scores, for example the drum rolls in "JFK" evoking the president's funeral procession and the mournful bugle calls in "Born on the Fourth of July".

Williams also employs a variety of styles, but never gratuitously, always to the service of the film. His "Jaws" theme is as legendary as the violin shrieks from Bernard Herrman's famous score for "Psycho".

The performances are excellent - only the "Born on the Fourth of July" performance exposes some thinness in the string section of the Boston Pops Orchestra.

There is much to enjoy here for film and music lovers alike.

It's my second copy!.......2007-03-09

This is by far the best driving music! Especially on those long desert roads.Adventure lies ahead for you when the Indiana Jones soundtrack is blasting from the dashboard of the car. Kids Love this CD Buy it now!

Sarah Michelle Gellar may be saving the world from vampires but her TV show is also helping a few worthy bands get some much needed exposure. Dayton, Ohio's ridiculously prolific Guided by Voices lead things off with the playful "Teenage FBI," a strong distillation of the band's knack for the irrepressible hook. The all-femme Hepburn protest in true "Maggie's Farm" fashion (as in "I ain't gonna work on...") for the quickstepping, bubble-gum punk-pop of "I Quit." Bif Naked's arena anthem "Lucky" is perfect for staring at candles. Garbage are in suitably psychedelic glam shades for "Temptation Waits." Rasputina, the gothic cello ensemble, include the appropriate "Transylvania Concubine." The only misstep is from virtual old-timers the Sundays, who deliver a lazy-day version of the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses." But this is made up for with the inclusion of Nerf Herder's "Buffy" theme song and Christophe Beck's instrumental theme music, which round out this all-inclusive collection. --Rob O'Connor

Compendium of music from Buffy and some of the best music of the 90's.......2006-02-05

This CD was released around the midpoint of the run of the series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so it primarily is from the high-school years of the show. It is not just a soundtrack of the music from Buffy, it is a very good mix of music from the last half of the 1990's. Although I consider myself a die-hard fan to the point that I can pretty much rattle off the names of the episodes in order and tell you what each was about, I did not recognize many of the songs on this CD as far as being able to link a particular scene or episode with a song.

There are, of course, a few exceptions, the most obvious being the show's theme by Nerfherder and "Close Your Eyes", which is the Buffy/Angel love theme. The latter has always been one of my favorites, as I can almost feel what Buffy is going through when she realizes she must kill her dearest love in order to save the world at the conclusion of "Becoming Part 2". Another song that brings back memories of Buffy and Angel's tortured romance is "Wild Horses", which is playing as the two dance together at the prom, both knowing that Angel is leaving town soon and this is their last chance to have any kind of normal moment together. "Lucky" recalls the episode "The Harsh Light of Day" when Buffy allows herself to be seduced by aspiring Lothario and fellow college student Parker Abrams. I've always been intrigued by "Transylvania Concubine", which is the quirky and memorable tune playing during Drusilla's "coming out" party in the episode "Surprise".

The remainder of the songs did not really provide any emotional cues for me as did these five that I have mentioned, but they are still a good collection of lively music from the 90's that I consider to be a worthy purchase.

Must Have for REAL Buffy Fans.......2006-01-29

It's easy to see why You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown is so popular. With its simple set and small cast, it has become a staple of high-school drama and small-scale productions all over America. Of course, this doesn't necessarily translate into a grandiose Broadway show, but this Michael Mayer-directed production is enjoyable. Anthony Rapp (Rent) plays an effective Charlie and Ilana Levine's Lucy is fun. The lively "Snoopy" number (Roger Bart plays the canine's role) is the musical's highlight, but such tunes as "Beethoven Day" really date the musical. Some may find it simplistic; others will love it. Which probably makes it a lot like the "Peanuts" comic strip itself. --Jason Verlinde

Laugh-out-loud.......2007-04-03

Charles Schultz' beloved comic-strip characters come to life in this award-winning audience favorite. The revival is so delightful. The musical score is delightful. And the songs will definitely bring you lots of laughter. Kristin Chenoweth's character Sally Brown is most definitely the one to watch for. With her rendition of My New Philosophy alone, it's hardly surprising why she won the Tony for this role. Also loved the song Little Known Facts, I can't stop laughing when I first heard it. I admit I kinda winced the first time I heard Ilana Levine's voice. But it sorta grew on me I guess. And anyway, the more I think about it, her voice is appropriate for Lucy. Another favorite is Glee Club Rehearsal, the way they keep fighting over that pencil. And "What's an enigma?" Hahaha. Anthony Rapp and BD Wong also has funny moments. I especially like Charlie (Anthony Rapp) when he was singing The Doctor Is In. "Wait a minute, Snoopy likes me!" Lucy:"He only pretends to like you because you feed him." Poor Charlie! And Lucy's quite mean to Charlie. I also laughed at BD Wong because I'm used to seeing him in Law&Order:SVU.
Get a copy of this revival cast recording. It's really worth it. For your whole family. Hilarious and great musical score. One of the best family musicals.

What's the difference between the 1967 Original Broadway production of YAGMCB and the 1999 Revival?

The characters that is presented in the original stage production has been maintained, but a new perspective has been added. The new cast of six characters includes Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, Snoopy and Sally Brown (she replaces Patty.) The original twelve songs all remain in this version, and two new songs: Beethoven Day (Schroeder & Company) and My New Philosophy (Sally with Schroeder) have been added. Some of the underscoring music was also replaced (Lucy's Queen Lucy and Snoopy's Red Baron). The music and the dialogue has also been reworked.

A Family Favorite.......2007-01-16

It's good music to listen to in the car. It's appropiate for everyone of every age. It also teaches children how to appreciate the arts,since it's based on a children's program that everyone knows and loves.

Nostaglic .......2007-01-11

I saw a production of this great play in northern New Jersey last year and was struck by the introduction in the program that the story of "Peanuts" was written by an American WWII veteran who endured the tough winter of 19944-45 in Europe just as my Dad and a number of uncles did. Perhaps another perspective on these timeless stories of growing up and learning to be happy.

A really cute show.......2006-08-05

This is a fantastic score, and though the original cast recording may be more authentic/true to the Peanuts cartoon, a clearer sound and a bigger orchestra does nothing but good for this CD. Anthony Rapp is a fantastic charlie brown and shows his distress perfectly. the song that was written for kristin chenoweth is laugh-out-loud funny and a great addition.
ilana lavine's voice is, i admit, little short of a screech, but it's only annoying because in the songs with the whole cast, you can tell she has a beautiful voice normally. for those who were complaining that her songs are unlistenable, it isn't that bad and it's part of lucy's character.
my favourite songs are 'you're a good man, charlie brown' and 'happiness'. they both have an underlying message that makes the CD worth listening to for adults as well as children. 'for happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you...' how true is that? definitely buy either this or the off-broadway cast recording, but this CD has a more definite beat and rhythm and is wonderful to listen to.

Great Broadway show for families.......2006-07-14

As a long-time Broadway junkie, I've made it my mission to introduce my 2 young daughters to as many age-appropriate musicals as possible. Charlie Brown is fun with a basic, life-affirming message without being sugary and melodramatic. The multicultural casting on this version was a nice touch, and the cast vocals blend nicely as well as standing out on their own. It's no surprise that Kristin Chenoweth won the Tony for this performance-just listen to My New Philosophy and you'll see why. Great to hear Anthony Rapp apart from Rent, and BD Wong's My Blanket and Me is sweet and charming.

This is a good CD for anyone wishing to introduce their kids to Broadway. My girls and I sing to it in the car all the time! Due to the low overhead as far as sets and costumes are concerned, this show is performed frequently in community/regional theatres around the country. I highly recommend taking your kids to see it, and you'll enjoy it also.

A Straight Thuggin' CD...............2007-07-16

Bone Thugs is mad talented, this disc starts with "The Introduction" Mad creepy! It's is all about the hustle, and hangin' on the side, I can relate! "East 1999" had them reminiscing about being in the game, slanging and running from the crazy thugs in the streets, but, as long as you're cool, it's all good with Cleveland mad gangsta flava. "Eternal" has a sweet old school beat, all about getting that skrilla! Ducking and pumpin' shots, it's time to get paid! "Crept And We Came" has them in stealth mode, hurry in and get the job done, whether they have to bust a cap, collect ends or settle a debt.

"Down 71" starts with Bizzy Bone at trial. He is reflecting on how he got there and this track is full of action & violence, ghetto style! "The Bill Collector" can be said to get what is owed, on the real tip! Don't test BT&H or there will definitely be consequences. I love the homage to the underground on this! "Budsmokers Only" is a tokin' tune with the homies, it's all about smoking, the taste, the feeling, everything! (Check out any Kottonmouth Kings) "Crossroads" is the signature song here, how fitting it's at the middle of the CD. I guess this is all about finding yourself through reflections of your actions, whether good or bad. Keep prayin' brothers! "Me Killa" is poetic in verse, short, but to the point of being a straight, ruthless dealer!

"Land Of Tha Heartless" is about survival in Cleveland! Watch your back, is the clear message here, there's no place to run! "No Shorts, No Losses" can be said to let people know that these cats never want to get cheated or else! Whether it be drugs, or favors, if a double cross happens, it's time for someone to pay! "1st Of The Month" is a smooth party groove, Everyone's paid and it's time to get that party on. Grillin', Chillin, Stylin', and Profilin' it's that time to relax, hang, and smoke with the homies! "Buddah Lovaz" is silky smooth jam, only for the smokers, but the way they sang it, it makes me want to get laid for real! LOL! I guess you would call this a love song!

"Die Die Die" is a song I cant comprehend too much, accept for the fact that in the send they get got my the cops! "Mr. Ouija 2" is an obvious continuation of Ouija off the Creepin' Ah Come Up EP, Just trying to get insight on a murder about to happen. "Mo Murda" is segued from Ouija 2, but the actual act, based on what was told by the ouija! It's painted picture of how the ghetto is, when the game is involved. "Shotz To Tha Double Glock" rounds out this tale about taking care of business, protecting your hood and your homies is what it's about! Sort of a "Thuggalo" family (LOL! I use that reference because I am a die hard juggalo and I know ICP and Bone Thugs are tight!)

This Cd is straight gangsta for real. I mean it's subtle and to the point, honest, and real! If you ask me this is more prolific than Tupac, and very raw!! An excellent CD by Bone Thugs & Harmony!!!!

Best Album Ever.......2007-07-10

This is BY FAR one of the best selling Hip-Hop Records of all time. It beat Elvis' record!!!

Best of the Best!!.......2007-05-16

This is without a doubt Bone's best album ever! Even though they are still awesome today, they (nor anyone else) will ever be able to top this album. It's just great from beginning to end...even the interludes, which are really just them singing and aint nothin' wrong with that. You can't call yourself a true Bone fan if you don't own this album. If you dont, then go get it now cuz you're missing out!

BONE THUGS 4-EVER!!!

every song is a must listen!.......2007-03-19

this is in my opinion, the best rap group album ever. no other rap group these days have the fire, passion and talents like BONE. i know there's talk about the group getting back together next year, and i really hope so. they're not forgotten and they're gonna be bigger than ever. to the new BONE fans, this is the album that cemented them in hip hop, their videos were on mtv all the time and they were winning all kinds of awards...you won't be disappointed!

Best Rap Album of all Time.......2007-03-08

I've been listening to rap for well over a decade now and the best album of all time is this one. Nothing even compares. This album captures the essence of the city streets through sound and words. The beats are beautifully dark and evil. When I listen to this cd, I feel like I am in a wasteland in hell. The genius of these four artists to capture such emotion in a cd at the ages of 17-20 is unbelievable.

Amazon.com

Love, trust, and loyalty are themes shared by The Best Man's script and the soundtrack. Instead of a hodgepodge of inspirational songs, the album carries a story that parallels that of the film (all but two of the tracks appear in the movie). Near the beginning, Maxwell's sultry voice warns a lover to keep things truthful on "Let's Not Play the Game," arguably the disc's sexiest track. After the damage is done, Faith Evans aggressively justifies infidelity on the upbeat "Best Man." The mood-setting "Turn the Lights Down Low," a studio-engineered duet between Lauryn Hill and the late Bob Marley, leans toward physical and emotional reconciliation. While the soundtrack may not be enough to comfort a groom whose best man has slept with his bride, The Best Man is full of heartfelt soul. --Celine Wong

Customer Reviews:

Very nice soundtrack by a great movie.......2007-06-25

How often does a soundtrack come along that actually contains a good set of the music pertaining the movie? This soundtrack combines both old school and some of the best respected artists in the industry. As you listen to this you'll fine yourself listening to some fast, slow, and mid-tempo songs all line up into this album.

Hip-hop/ R&B's reigning queen, Lauryn Hill teams up with the late Bob Marley on a beautifully redone track of "Turn Your Lights Down Low." Introspective and controversial rap group The Roots start off the album with their upbeat "What You Want", and the very soulful Maxwell contributes two new tracks to the album, "Let's Not Play the Game" and "As My Girl." Eric Benet`s "Poetry Girl" is very nice along with Latocha Scott's "The Girl is Hot." Though the love infused ballads and sultry R&B cuts are enough to keep the record on top. "The Best Man" has its low points. The Sporty Thieves' "Hit It Up" seems to be misplaced in the ocean of love songs, and "The Best Man I Can Be", which teams up Ginuwine, Tyrese, R.L., and Case, is a musty, ill-fated anthem for men with morality. I was also slightly disappointed that they didn't have the Stevie Wonder's "As" and Cameo's "Candy." But I got over it.
However, "The Best Man" is able to hold its weight and hits hard with passion and love.

I would get this if not see the movie which I highly recommend but I think you should do both to really understand everything. If you listen to the lyrics of some of the songs they really match some of the characters in the story. Like Faiths song "Best man." She takes the place of the The girl who got married in the movie and you know it when she says......"He is your best man, I guess you didn't know that I had him, I know that you hate that, but it's like that, you are the best but yet he ain't so bad". I won't say more than that.

Other than that this soundtrack is one of the best and strongest soundtracks that had drop in 99'. It almost reminds me of the "Soul Food" album. I guess because the movies are similar in there own way and they both give out great and memorable songs. Once you hear this you'll definitely add this too your collection.

Not bad at all, for a soundtrack * * * . 5 stars.......2007-06-08

Eight out of 14 tracks are good for me so not five stars but,it is good because of great tracks by Allure and Beyonce. I do not know if the Boyonce track, After All Is Said And Done is a cover, as it is a very good track the best on this cd...if it is not just another cover of someone's song, then it should have been a big hit for her. Allure's (not many people know of them) When The Shades Go Down is a good track.
Maxwell, Eric Benet and Kenny Lattimore have some good tracks and Faith Evans's Best Man..I think is her best up tempo track...the Lauryn Hill Bob Marley track is good also....so check this cd out.

Great CD.......2007-04-02

This CD is wonderful! I am using several of the songs from this CD in my upcoming wedding. There is a great mix of up beat and slow tunes, which is great because it covers many different emotions.

birthday party song.......2007-03-11

could anyone tell me the name of the song which was played at the birthday party,cuz it wasn't included in the sound track.

Great CD Great Movie.......2007-01-05

If you want something to put on and just jam a lil without all of the dancin and sweat this is the CD. The music speaks for itself. Its nice when you want to just keep a mellow mood.

Although Woody Allen has been using jazz from the '20s and '30s on his soundtracks since Sleeper, Sweet and Lowdown is his first movie featuring the musicians of the period. The story is about Emmett Ray, who is a brilliant guitarist but is always being unfavorably compared to Django Reinhardt. Allen hired the guitarist Howard Alden and the Dick Hyman Group to play the music of Ray and his band, and they have done an excellent job of recreating the small band swing of the '30s. Alden has assimilated the music of such guitarists as Eddie Lang, Karl Kress, and Django to create a guitar style that is unique yet also sounds thoroughly authentic. He is the Zelig of guitar players. This music has all of the excitement of '30s jazz with none of the stodginess that sometimes plagues other jazz revivalists. --Michael Simmons

Had to own it after seeing the movie - fabulous! Go Django, go!

Luke Darlison.......2006-08-06

To Eric Verworst,
You won't be able to find any original pieces from Emmet Ray because he is a fictional character.

Great sound track for a great movie........2006-03-23

This sound track from Woody Allen's movie Sweet and Lowdown is fabulous. The guitar renditions are exceptional as is the story.
It is a must listen to and must see.

Very pleasing.......2006-02-25

I never saw the movie, but I am very interested in the music of this under strange circumstances vanished guitar player.
The music on this CD is really close to a few originals that are out there from him.
Anybody who can point me in the direction of any original work from Emmet Ray on CD or DVD, please feel free to contact me.

Marvelous soundtrack.......2006-02-24

I am particularly haunted by track #6, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams (And Dream Your Troubles Away). Great soundtrack.
