From Amazon.co.uk

The pop world might be all cooing 'n' cross-eyed over this flamboyant elfin with extended tail-feathers, as if it were shaken suddenly from a slumber, but the arrival of such a character was in fact always inevitable. He's an unlikely but traceable amalgamation of random pop culture explosions from the past few years--two parts Paulo Nutini, one part Kemal from Big Brother, a dash of Daphne & Celeste, a barrel measure of Scissor Sisters, and another pinch of post-ironic dancing to Elton John at the Students' Union gone midnight. It's no secret that the UK has a weakness for pretty-boy singer songwriters either--he fits in there too, in that he's about to stick its index finger in the socket and pour it a drink.

Give it 12 months and you might be taking out a restraining order--Mika will split opinion--but his quasi-soul falsetto is unbelievable, that much is immediately obvious. There are moments nearing syrupy Feeling-esque normalcy (take "My Interpretation"), but those aside it's high camp insatiability all the way. There's a hint of Freddie Mercury's theatricality in the voice, and in "Big Girl" he's even written a modern day "Fat Bottomed Girls". "Lollipop" is Jake Shears leading the Jackson 5, "Love Today" is the missing link between the Bee Gees and Village People and "Relax, Take It Easy" is a chilled Pet Shop Boys in gold lamé. Too cheesy to be a classic, perhaps, but this is just the brand of subversive eccentricity Robbie has failed miserably to achieve over his past few albums. --James Berry

Album Description

`Historic', `sensational', `flamboyant' and `without-any-doubt original' are just some of the adjectives being thrown around by critics in praise of 22 year-old UK newcomer, Mika's eclectic debut album, Life In Cartoon Motion.

Fun, smart, musically adventurous and thematically provocative, the songs on Life In Cartoon Motion, all of them written and produced by Mika, combine euphoric rushes of melody with darker unexpected elements. They range from bright daytime melodramas to night-time tales of love, loss, abandonment, hope and happiness. Each is a splendid blend of fresh imagination and deft pop craftsmanship.

Album gems such as "Grace Kelly," "Lollipop," Billy Brown," and "Relax And Take It Easy," display Mika's innovative wordplay. `I've always respected people who make great records to their own vision,' writes the quixotic Mika. Mission accomplished!

We rated this album.... as part of a camp project at St. Ives Camp near New York City. We did a poll to choose everyone's favorite album of the summer.... and the winner .... is an album called + EURO CLUB HITS VOL. 1 + which is downloadable from iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, etc...... (it's not on Amazon yet)......it was a close race between many albums.... everyone in the camp (200+ kids!) is now going to vote again on Amazon & iTunes... and please add your vote also!! Thanks!

5 out of 5 stars Mika is amazing........2007-07-21

Mika has brought us one of the most fun CDs that I've seen in a few years. Yes, he sounds like Freddie Mercury at times, but he's got a style of his own.

If you've heard Grace Kelly, you should have a good idea of what Mika is all about. It's fun, high-pitched pop. If you're turned off by his falsetto, stay away from this album.

There are a couple not-so-good songs on this album at the end (I don't even remember their names because I skip over them), but other than that, every song will get stuck in your head for days. I highly recommend this!

4 out of 5 stars Needs some editing.......2007-07-06

I agree this is a very good album, but the end of Track 6 (Ring Ring) and less so 7, has an annoying segment with a woman speaking in broken english talking about having her heart broken and left with only one eye! It would be cute if it was quick, but it goes on for 45 seconds! There is also a bonus song following the last song "Happy Ending" There's a 1 minute gap between the last song and the bonus song. (a song cookie?) How many people pop out the CD at that point thinking it's over? It's a very haunting piece with a piano and falsetto vocal. I used a music editing program to get rid of the 45 second rambling spoken word segment and to cut out the 1 minute gap between the bonus track.

5 out of 5 stars Mika Rocks.......2007-07-03

Love listening to new talent! I saw Mika on Good Morning America and knew right away I was looking at a success story! Music that makes your heart sing!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Debut CD.......2007-06-28

I'm a little late to the game when it comes to being a Mika fan, but in this case, it is definitely better late than never. This CD is phenomenal! His style! His voice! The songs! I could go on and on and on and on.
"Grace Kelly" starts off the cd, and it grabs you right from the start. By the time you are grooving to "Big Girl" near the end of the cd, you'll suddenly realize you haven't had this much fun listening to a cd in a long, long time.
Give it a try. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Amazon.com

A romantic's collection if ever there was one, this cachet of songs graced the equally heart-tugging film. King of the Croon and Swoon, Nat King Cole's "Stardust" is probably the most obvious of the young lovers' themes here. Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Durante, ordinarily not the most romantic of sorts, prove themselves worthy contenders with "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" and "As Time Goes By," respectively. "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" gets an elegantly simple treatment from Carly Simon, and Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man" confirms her status as the late, great Queen of Country. The only disappointments with this collection are the absence of heart-wrenching numbers by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, or even Johnny Mathis; and the inclusion of the horrendous rendition of "When I Fall in Love" by the over-rated Celine Dion with Clive Griffin. --Steve Gdula

Bought this CD for Christmas to replace a worn out cassette tape of my Mom's. She can listen to this 24/7 and never get tired of it. Nice CD/soundtrack that will appeal to many age groups -- multigenerational. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Possibly the best movie soundtrack of all time........2005-12-06

I absolutely love this soundtrack. My parents and I watched "Sleepless in Seattle" as the in-flight movie on the way to America and the movie always congures up such warm memories for me. We bought the soundtrack after coming back home and it has become almost like a lullaby to me. We have played the CD so often it actually wore out. Such timeless, soothing music. I think it is one of the best movie soundtracks of all movie. All other versions of any of the songs on the soundtrack just don't compare. I definately recommend this soundtrack to all.

5 out of 5 stars A classic soundtrack for a classic romance. .......2005-06-26

This is one of the few album/soundtracks, in which I never skip a song, because each one is good and perfect. Each song's lyrics describes the relantionship perfect, about two people who don't meet intill the very end. Each song talk about the longing of each other and love. " As time goes by" by Jimmy Durante is pretty good and he puts his print on the famous song. " Stardust" by Nat King Cole is very romantic, and tells of two people who long to be together. " A wink and a smile" by Harry Conick Jr. tells of two people are meant for each other ( just like the main characters of the movie ). The theme to " An affair to remeber" is here, and is of course what the movie ( sleepless in seattle ) makes reference to! It's a gem of an album, and is romantic as the movie.

Amazon.com

While director Jeannot Szwarc's 1980 time-travel romance nearly drowned in a sea of its own bathos, the score of the Christopher Reeve/Jane Seymour vehicle has become something of a word-of-mouth classic. Chalk that status up to the great English composer John Barry, whose lushly romantic score has largely overshadowed the film it was written for. Note to Titanic fans: if you liked the score for that film, you may fall in love with (or to) this one as well. Ironically, much of the action of Somewhere in Time takes place in 1912, the year the Titanic sank. --Jerry McCulley

Some very nice compositions but will only probably grab you if you have seen the movie. Otherwise might seem disjointed. Probably will not have wide appeal, but, as I said, if the movie touched you, you will want the soundtrack.

I am a pre-school teacher. I teach children from 18 months to 4 years old. Kids in motion is my favorite CD. There are so many different activities for the kids to do. We use it for basic music lessons and some of the songs for birthday parties. I have even bought this as gifts for mother's of toddlers and other pre-school owners.

5 out of 5 stars Sub Saver.......2007-04-28

This CD is a real substitute saver. I've used it with preschoolers, kindergartners, and first-graders, and it has brought much joy. After all, my son used to say this when he was young -"you have to move to live". This CD will keep everyone moving!

3 out of 5 stars Not great, but has some good tunes.......2006-10-03

I was looking for a few new cds for my 2 year old and came across this one. It is a mixed bag in that some of the songs are upbeat and fun to listen to while others are not. The Animal Action songs are good and so is the Beanbag Boogie. Interestingly the artists must have known they had a good thing because they repeat these songs on the CD. Note that this is quite an old product. The music recalls the era of Flashdance.

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

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful.......2007-01-11

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.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2006-11-10

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.

Few filmmakers managed to capture the awkward coming-of-age catastrophes of '80s teens the way John Hughes did, just as few soundtracks encapsulate the sound of an era better than this one does. It's not the best 1986 had to offer, but it's a cohesive whole, transporting the listener to that other time, imagined or otherwise. There's enough variety to ensure that it doesn't become wallpaper, and very little filler. "Left of Center" by Suzanne Vega, with Joe Jackson on piano, is tremendous and transcends generations. Psychedelic Furs frontman Richard Butler has long been bemused about Hughes not taking Molly Ringwald's character's name from the title song, which inspired the film, but everyone was paying too much attention to what Ducky was wearing to notice anyway. --Scott Wilson

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars As Good As The Film.......2007-04-19

I love this movie, I love Molly Ringwald, I love that she worked at a record store, I love her car, Annie Potts, Jon Cryer, Andrew McArthy, and all the music on this CD. Opening with OMD's "If You Leave" it only goes up from there. "Left Of Center" by Suzanne Vega is the anthem of anyone who ever left on the side lines of the main stream, New Order's "Shell Shock" - The Smiths brilliant, "Please Let Me Get What I Want", and my favorite "Wouldn't It Be Good" (wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes/ even if it was for just one day), "Bring On The Dancing Horses", the always welcome "Pretty In Pink", I mean really isn't she? This is pretty much my teenage life caught on CD. Now I need to go out and buy that new version of the DVD that came out.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT 80'S SOUNDTRACK.......2007-02-02

This is a must have for any 80's enthusiast for that era! Wow! Who can forget the great music of that era?!! This one is a winner.

5 out of 5 stars A must have for fans of the film or anything 80s.......2006-05-10

John Hughes' "Pretty in Pink" has always been a favorite movie of mine. I fell in love with it immediately. It is easily one of the greatest teen movies ever and is rivaled only by "The Breakfast Club" as the best "Brat Pack" flick of the 80s.

The soundtrack, much like the film, captures the essence, the spirit of the 80s. What you get here are ten new-wave, alternative and pop songs that helped define the era. Standouts include Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's "If you leave," The Psychedelic Fur's title track, and the Smiths' "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want," but really the entire soundtrack is great, not a dud among on the CD.

The album is somewhat bittersweet, with the songs being equally morose and celebratory. Much like the film, the songs seem to focus on unrequited love and longing, with a glimmer of hope.

If you are a fan of the film, 80s music and or pop-culture, this CD is well worth adding to your collection.

4 out of 5 stars Much loved music.......2006-04-09

I was in HS when the movie/music came out. Wore out my tape, twice, and melted another on my car dash in the hot sun and had to wrestle a fourth tape copy from my little brother who'd since discovered how awesome the Furs and Bunnymen were. Ahhh, memories. Still enjoy a good reminiscing now and then. I think I've gotta break down and buy it on CD finally! (Four rather than five stars just means I'm a tough grader! It's a great album, nice mix, very 80's retro.)

5 out of 5 stars Lovely.......2005-12-16

I had watched Pretty in Pink a couple of times when I was about four. Years went by, and I found myself in a used CD store, throwing over a couple of bucks for this soundtrack, I went home, stuck it in my CD player, and all of these memories from the movie came rushing back, I cried. It was so odd, I hadn't remembered any of the movie before then, but the minute If you Leave came on, I could picture Andy hugging Ducky....

Now, I wouldn't give up this CD even if you payed me, somehow I feel it's conected to my past.

Finally, a few months ago, I re-watched the movie, and I have to admit, the soundtrack is better. I liked the movie of course, but it was a little too 80's for my taste.

On his seventh album (and first for Dave Matthews' ATO label), David Gray refines his sonic palette with wonderful results. The first record made in a "real" studio and the first done with an outside producer (MOR hotshot Marius De Vries), it's a nice improvement over 2002's lukewarm, sparsely electronicized New Day at Midnight. There's quite a bit of diversity afoot; "Hospital Food" begins with a sheen of '80s-cheese keyboards, while "Alibi" has an orchestral pop arrangement that brings to mind Rufus Wainwright collaborating with Jeff Lynne (and yes, that's a good thing). The album's title seems to refer as much to the fact that the album took three years to appear as the way the songs unfold glacially. With his band really fortifying him throughout, parts sound like Coldplay unplugged. But where that band's lyrics start with self-doubt and burrow inwards from there, Gray seeks absolution, something beyond himself. He also seems to have a sense of humor. It's too bad Six Feet Under is off the air; this entire album would make a great soundtrack for a special episode. Slow Motion is, in its subtle way, a huge step: the blue eyed folk-soul singer's first truly stadium-ready album. --Mike McGonigal

5 out of 5 stars Took awhile for this one to grow on me.......2007-07-28

When i first got this album listened and thought, this is ok, but nothing special. Put it aside. Found the song Hospital Food popping up randomly on my iPod and feel in love with it. Played it to death. Even my wife who doesn't like too many modern artists wanted me to keep repeating it.

Then a couple more months passed and decided one day at work to just play the entire album in the background. I've been hooked ever since. The beauty and depth of the lyrics grabs me. My favorite song is Nos Da Cariad, but I love them ALL! One of my favorite albums now from start to finish.

3 out of 5 stars No, no, no, no, no.......2007-06-12

Why, please someone tell me, would one of the best guitarists on the scene keep turning out mediocre piano tunes? I would lead David away from the keyboard and then smash the danged thing to smithereens. Then I would hand him a guitar and return to the audience. I mean, would you go see Richard Thompson if you knew he was going to play piano? Or Tony Levin play French Horn? Come on David, knock us out with six strings. Leave the ivory keys to Chris Martin. And the sea thing? We didn't like Christopher Cross when he did it. Why would we like it any more now? Now do what I say, David, and play son, play!

5 out of 5 stars I'm in love with David Gray..........2007-05-23

If anyone can sound hot on their album, it would have to be David Gray. Cadence, gritty tone, deliberate phrasing of each line-- you can really FEEL what he's singing. This album (from what I understand) is heavier instrumentally, and has an orchestral sound. In my opinion, a beautiful accompaniment to Gray's voice, which can stand prefectly stand alone as well. A must buy!!!

5 out of 5 stars Captivating Sound.......2007-05-21

Enjoyed the passion of the songs and the powerful music. Lyrics are interesting. What David writes about his lyrics and his new style of music was interesting. Just a good, emotionally moving, but mellow compilation of songs that may cause you to pause and think.

Seeing the lyrics were helpful, because his enunciation is not good at all times. I fell asleep while watching TV and the title song "Life in Slow Motion" was playing on an "ER" episode and the melody and passion behind the lyrics awoke me from my sleep.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-05-19

I love this CD and every song that is on the CD!! David Gray is not sold at Target stores in my area. To find the time to track a Borders or a Barnes and Knoble that sells CD's is too much of my time wasted in my day. So I went to Amazon.com and ordered the CD on a Thursday night. I selected standard shipping and received my CD on Monday. I am planning on purchasing more of his CD's and will do so on Amazon.com.

Amazon.com

Whoopi Goldberg has a lot of talents, but singing is not one of them. Hearing her massacre Motown classics like "Dancing in the Street," "Ball of Confusion" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" in her flat, dull voice on this soundtrack album would be harmless if a whole generation weren't being introduced to these songs through her clumsy performances. Several choirs turn in lackluster performances of gospel numbers. The disc's one redeeming moment is Aretha Franklin's overpowering delivery of "A Deeper Love," written and produced by C+C Music Factory. --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Great Soundtrack.......2007-06-16

I remember when this movie first came out. My brother rented it and let me watch with him. I watched it like 2 more times before he had to take it back. I then bought the movie and it is still one of my favorite movies today. I like the movie soo much because of the music. I had the soundtrack on a cassette tape and I use to listen to it all the time in my portable tape player (that seems like ages ago) and I'm only 21! Lol! Anyways this is a great album to listen to...especially when you love to sing like I do!!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT MOVIE AND CD........2007-01-04

I saw this movie a long time ago and loved it. The CD Soundtrack has great inspirational songs from the film and when I got it, I was so happy to sing along with it.

5 out of 5 stars Love the music.......2006-08-21

Loved the movie, loved the music. I purchased this CD for my 4 year old granddaughter who watched the movie and loved it. She likes to listen to it in the car.

5 out of 5 stars Let the whole earth sing!.......2006-05-03

Amazon.com, Geoffrey Himes must have a tin ear!

Forget the "official" review. The "joyful, joyful" finale alone is worth the price of this soundtrack all by itself! It truly captures the joy that should ALWAYS be the centerpiece of the Christian life.

5 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDTRACKS EVER.......2006-01-29

Please everybody ignores Amazon's review of this album. I am 16 years old, and I was three years old when this movie and soundtrack came out. And at an early age this entire project(movie and soundtrack) gave me a love of music, which is why I like to sing now and introduced me to quality music and great classics, and not like the mess that we hear today. So for anybody who has contemplated bying this project, listen if everytime you watch the movie, you cant help to sing along with them, them you need to purchase this album. Because it will certainly bless you.

Amazon.com

This commemorative reissue of music from 2001: A Space Odyssey combines the Also sprach Zarathustra theme, various Johann and Richard Strauss segments, and a ballet suite by Aram Khachaturian--all of which prove how much Stanley Kubrick's film attempts to avoid the soundtrack clichés of most science-fiction movies. Instead of the expected sci-fi effects, there is a more ironic application of music that would be otherwise incongruous to the celestial settings. Here, "The Blue Danube" complements scenes involving weightlessness and descending spacecraft, while Gyorgy Ligeti's creepy "monolith" music connotes Armageddon more than interplanetary exploration. The tracks play as they had appeared on the original soundtrack release back in the '60s, but there is also previously unreleased supplemental material and a dialogue montage entitled "HAL 9000." --Joseph Lanza

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars great music, great reissue.......2007-04-16

This is a great collection of music and I love the great mastering job that was done with this. The inclusion of the tracks from the original MGM soundtrack release are a great bonus. The liner notes include interpretations of the film and the music that are insightful.

I noticed that the music in the movie is mixed in surround sound, it would be great if they could release this on DVD-Audio or SACD surround. I'd buy it again!

5 out of 5 stars fantastic.......2007-03-11

I have the old lp release of this music, what an incredible array of classical music, topped off by my personal favorite piece of music in the world, the blue danube waltz. Let yourself be carried away in deep space by this incredible score.

5 out of 5 stars whoa........2006-09-04

"Atmospheres" was enough to make me buy this album. just try to imagine what eternity might sound like. okay, now you know exactly what Atmospheres is. wow. who else could having captured the feelings that are in this score? this is above talented. this is above genius. this is above avand garde. this is too good to be labeled as anything at all.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music for Halloween, very creepy.......2006-03-17

I bought this CD to use for a haunted house program, the music will creep you out.

5 out of 5 stars Bleakest of Futures..........2005-10-08

The atonal, unsettling atmosphere of much of the music of Ligeti is fitting to the bleak vision of a human future reigned by nothing but cold technology and of humans drained of emotions except for the deepest animalist fear originating from our inner reptilian brainparts which have not changed for over millions of years. The incongruity of Johann Strauss' lovely 'An der schönen blauen Donau' with the cold technicality of spacefaring as depicted here could not be more complete, but what a perfect find on Stanley Kubrick's part! It makes the uneasiness and confusion even greater. And then, to top it of, the complete and flabbergasting irony of using Richard Strauss' Fanfare for the 'rise of Man' in his 'Also Sprach Zarathustra': what a great destiny for 'Man' indeed, this bleakest of bleak visions of the future!
As a soundtrack for '2001: A Space Odyssey' this music together on one album is just great.
And besides, this soundtrack has indeed, like so many others I guess, made me aware of the genius of Ligeti, which otherwise might have gone unnoticed for me.

Amazon.com

This Clint Eastwood vanity-project was one of the biggest box office disappointments of 1997, despite a masterful performance by Kevin Spacey, Eastwood's typically subtle direction and, to these ears anyway, one of the most satisfying collections of songs gathered in service of a film in many a year. It didn't hurt that they were all penned by the late, great Johnny Mercer (a native of Savannah, GA, the film's locale and most crucial, underrated element) and with the exception of Tony Bennett's "I Wanna Be Around" and Sinatra's classic "Summer Wind," were rendered by an all-star team of jazz players (Charlie Haden, Michael Brecker, Joshua Redman, Kevin Eubanks, Christian McBride among them) and an impressive line-up of vocalists including k.d. lang, Paula Cole, Joe Williams, Rosemary Clooney, Cassandra Wilson, Alison Krauss, Diana Krall, and Kevin Mahogany. Eastwood has long been a jazz devotee and, in recent years, eager proselytizer; this album plays like a love letter to one of his most beloved musicians and composers. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars A must hear for everyone.......2007-05-20

I have several of these CDs in my collection. I keep one in the car, one in the home system and one for traveling.

It is, by far, the best soundtrack I have ever encountered...

5 out of 5 stars A Great Great Soundtrack Album.......2007-02-24

If you could buy only one CD this year, I have NO IDEA what it should be. Maybe you should get a second job, you deadbeat. But if you buy two CDs (without having to work in a salt mine, or sell Uncle Bob, piece by piece, for experiments), it should be two soundtracks: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and L.A. Confidential.

Dark, ethereal, and moody, these albums have an incredible presence, and hold together on their own as great albums, able to stand apart and peer out from beneath the long, great shadows cast by their respective, impressive film counterparts.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a Johnny Mercer 'songbook' as done by mostly modern artists, including Clint Eastwood, Midnight's director. This, of course, proves that Mr. Eastwood is a great ... director.

Actor Kevin Spacey fairs better, pulling off "That Old Black Magic" without a hitch. Tony Bennett's "I Wanna Be Around" and Rosemary Clooney's "Fools Rush In" = Fabulous. But the stand-outs are Alison Krauss and k.d. lang. Krauss' "This Time the Dream's On Me" is absolutely, ... well, ... dreamy. "Skylark" as sung by Bobby Darin, is one of the great Croon Tunes, but when done here by k.d. lang, Darin gets the spanking he so richly deserves. lang's full, resonant voice fills the song with a warm, rich majesty.

Majesty, my friends.
It's good to be the king. And this album is king.
Worth the price of admission itself.

My suggestion: get both CDs, dim the lights, pour yourself a beverage or four, and listen to these two albums back to back.

Repeat as necessary.

4 out of 5 stars Best Jazz Vocal Ever and a Good Album.......2007-01-28

Alison Krauss's version of "This Time the Dreams on Me" unexpectly sets a new standard for female Jazz vocals. Simplely amazing that Ms. Krauss could blow away this old standard, none of the twang of her usual recordings, just amazing.

Otherwise a nice selction of jazz vocals.

5 out of 5 stars Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Soundtrack.......2007-01-17

A very beautiful album of Johnny Mercer music

Very pleased with the music on this DVD. Only reservation is that I expected it to be a little closer to the actual score from the movie.
