another Legacy Recordings collectible digipak reissue.......2007-05-25

i was pleasantly surprised to find this coming to me packaged in a digipak version like the other journey 2006 reissue albums that i have been collecting so of course i had to go buy the rest of perry's albums which thankfully for the pocketbook spans only 3 albums while journey is something like 20 albums with all the various compilations and permutations. best song on this album is definitely oh sherrie and foolish heart, the others are ok but take some repeated listening to really enjoy. if you're a perry fan definitely get this album. not as rocking as a journey album but some listenable pop ballads can be found.

Remaster sets the record straight!.......2007-02-26

Steve Perry's first solo effot,1984's "Street Talk",is softer and more pop-oriented than the albums with Journey,but there's still that distinctive soulful vocal and musical quality that is pure Steve Perry-enough to produce 4 Top 40 singles-the Top 10 "Oh Sherrie",plus "Foolish Heart,"She's Mine" and "Strung Out".Other highlights include the 60s soul homage "I Believe",the ballad "Go Away",and the moving tribute to fallen 60s rock and soul icons "Captured By The Moment".The 2006 edition has excellent remastered sound(by Dave Donnelly)that is vastly superior to previous CD editions,3 interesting unreleased bonus tracks with his pre-Journey band Alein Project in the 70's("My My My My","Harmony","Makes No Difference"),the B-side to "Oh Sherrie"("Don't Tell Me Why You're Leaving")and a song from the "USA For Africa" album("If Only For The Moment,Girl).If you're a fan of Journey or 80's pop-rock,then this is right up your alley.

Street Talk.......2007-01-31

I had bought Street Talk when it had orignally came out in the 80's, on Album band tape. Bought it about a year ago on CD, Now again I have bought the new "remastered" version. LOVE it even MORE.... the addition of the bonus songs are great. I can't stop playing "Don't Tell Me Why Your Leaving" and "Makes No Difference" over and over again. What a refreshing change in style and these songs show his fans just what a wonderfully talented performer/artist Mr. Perry is... And "The Voice" should be a standard for what a singer/entertainer should be. Wish he would put out something BRAND NEW.... Doesn't matter what it is, as long as the "Perry Voice" is singing again.

It's All Steve Perry.......2007-01-02

What else could one hope for but more of Steve Perry. I have loved his voice from the first time I heard it. This CD is fullof more of what you were after... that voice. No One Can Croon like Steve. Thanks Steve for the years of beautiful. You're a legend.

A Journey Down Memory Street.......2006-11-04

Steve Perry's first solo record, Street Talk, was an accomplishment on its own. The re-release in 1996 brought an edited version with improved sound quality. This new reissue of Street Talk sounds even better, and it comes with some extras as well.

The most obvious are the five bonus tracks. The first three of these tracks were from his days with 'Alien Project,' the band that recorded the demo tracks which earned him the lead vocalist position with Journey. The demos have been floating online via bootleg download sites for years. In an interview, Steve was asked if he knew about their existence. He said he did, and that he was waiting for the right time to release them. This is that time, and they sound incredible for having been recorded in 1977. Perry's voice is higher than usual, yet still maintains that energetic charisma that he carried in to Journey and this solo album. These tracks are a must have for any Perry die-hard. The track following the Alien Project demos is called "Don't Tell Me Why You're Leaving." This song was originally on the B-side of the single, "Oh Sherrie." It's an R&B track that sounds like Perry was having a blast recording it. The final bonus track is an extended version of "If Only For the Moment Girl" that sounds just as great as the rest of the album.

The other thing that makes this CD reissue worth getting is the booklet that comes with it. Like the Journey booklets, this one has lots of previously unreleased photos, some from Perry's own private library, as well as ads for the singles and a note from The Voice himself introducing the CD and its bonus tracks. Street Talk has never sounded better, and the extra tracks make this a must buy for any Perry fan or lover of great music. You will be hard pressed to find a voice as infectious and energetic as Steve Perry.

Tribute albums are always suspect; classical interpretations of rock even more so--and follow-ups to the same are fraught with mediocrity. Just witness the inexplicable glut of String Quartet Tribute discs to Tool, Bruce Springsteen, and many other top-selling and cult artists. On Hold Me to This, his second run at the music of art-rock group Radiohead, classical pianist Christopher O'Riley avoids all these pitfalls. These aren't easy-listening piano renditions of Radiohead tunes, but deeply inspired, often challenging and dissonant re-imaginings. O'Riley succeeds by taking the music on its own terms. He doesn't try to make it "classical" but lets the classical nature of the music ring out. From the storming chordal overtone clusters of "There There" to the Chopinesque refrain of "The Spinning Plates," O'Riley makes you forget these songs were originally played by a raging rock band. Instead, they seem born on the keys of his piano. His "Paranoid Android" is like Conlon Nancarrow going boogie-woogie one moment and painfully, sweetly rhapsodic the next. I'm not sure how Radiohead fans will respond to this, but piano and classical listeners should rejoice. --John Diliberto

this has the depth you need..........2007-02-17

I don't believe you need to be ga-ga over Radiohead to enjoy this CD. This CD, it's all piano (w/o vocals) if you didn't already know that going in, will provide an even deeper appreciation of the textures & depth of the Radiohead catalog. Mr. O'Riley does takes some artistic liberties with the songs, albeit minor, but in so doing he unleashes the potential they all have. And this potential is truly staggering---some selections are nothing short of gorgeous.
Hold me to this: you WILL be floored by this CD. it's well worth the purchase.

Oddly Boring.......2006-07-16

I adore Radiohead, and really enjoy solo piano. I should love this disc, but I don't. Even though the wonderful creepiness of Radiohead is completely absent, I would be willing to chalk that up to artistic interpretation. But that's not what bugs me about this disc. What really bugs me is his style of playing. He relies on resonance and the transcript is completely devoid of silence. The result is a droning wall of notes, and all the pieces sound the same. It reminds me of Windham Hill recordings, but without the expression. Get Yorke's new album, Eraser, if you need a Radiohead fix, or get George Winston if you want solo Piano. I really wish I could recommend this, but I just can't.

a bit disappointing.......2006-07-11

O'Riley takes some liberties here, and that's fine. I'm a bit disappointed by his dynamic range, which is a bit predictable from song to song, and also with his tendency to overload the songs with schizophrenic ramblings. The craziness works well at times -- see "There There" for a time when it works well -- and other times it is overwhelming (see: "Nice Dream").

Despite a sometimes overloaded sound, the song list is so attractive and O'riley hits so many high notes (if you will..) that the CD is well worth owning. I prefer the "True Love Waits" album.

Cocktail Party Radiohead.......2006-03-21

I own the first Christopher O'Reily Radiohead Tribute - True Love Waits. If you love his stunning piano in that, or if you love stunning piano altogether, you will love Hold Me To This. I am an avid lover of all things Radiohead turned into wordless music lullabyes and this one does not dissapoint.

Good effort.......2006-03-02

Sound all the same...listen to the samples before you buy it. If your a fan of radiohead you wont like it...if your a fan of the piano you wont like it. But I give my respect to the musician for making the effort to replicate already beutiful music.

Lerner & Loewe Songbook.......2006-02-24

If you like Percy Faith's music, you'll like this one. He quit recording and died much too young. But while he lived, he recorded some great music.

Wouldn't it be lovely?.......2005-09-26

This CD represents some of the best of Broadway done in a great pops style. There are five orchestral suites, one each for the following: 'Camelot', 'My Fair Lady', 'Gigi', 'Paint Your Wagon', and 'Bridgadoon'. They are all arranged for orchestra by Robert Russell Bennett, save that for 'Paint Your Wagon', which was arranged by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra director Erich Kunzel.

The works of Lerner and Loewe were a mainstay of Broadway for decades in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, but it was during the late 50s and early 60s that their true glory days took hold. The presidential term of John F. Kennedy gained the nickname 'Camelot' in part because of the influence of the Lerner and Loewe production going on at the start. The songs contained in these suites are instantly recognisable by many, as the Lerner and Loewe songs have become so well known that many know the songs better than the musicals or the composers from which they come. 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'Wouldn't It Be Lovely' come from 'My Fair Lady', 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls' from 'Gigi' - these are but the most of famous of the familiar tunes.

There are a lot of pieces here that the listener will appreciate, both in remembering old pieces or in learning new nuances to the tunes.

This particular disc by Telarc has a feature called 'Spatializer', which gives a three-dimensional quality to the sterophonic sound, enhancing regular players and working well with surround-sound systems, too. The Cincinnati Pops are expert at this kind of music, having produced dozens of CDs of popular music and modern composers of musicals, film music, and pops-oriented major compositions.

This is a fun disc to have.

A Successful Sequel.......2005-08-03

This CD is a follow-up to the Rodgers & Hammerstein Songbook for Orchestra (1991) from the same team. It is a thoroughly successful sequel: I believe anyone who enjoyed the R&H will enjoy this one as well. If I am very slightly less enthusiastic about this one than the R&H, it's not because of any shortcoming of Kunzel, the Cincinnati Pops, or Telarc, all of whom are at the top of their form. Rather it's because Frederick Loewe, for all his undoubted expertise, is not quite in the same class as a composer with Richard Rodgers. But that's asking a lot, since Rodgers was the American musical theater's leading light. Lerner & Loewe's musicals were second only to R&H's during the golden age of the American musical, and their My Fair Lady is by any standard one of the best musicals ever staged. If Loewe did not create as many unforgettable numbers as Rodgers, he nevertheless wrote many delightful songs and much enjoyable music. This CD features five orchestral suites, ranging in length from 9 to 18 minutes (total playing time 68:06), from Brigadoon (1947), Paint Your Wagon (1951), My Fair Lady (1956), Gigi (film 1958; staged 1973), and Camelot (1960). The arrangements (all but one by Robert Russell Bennett) are expert. The performances are masterly (if perhaps lacking in just a tad of the infectious brio that the same team brought to R&H). And Telarc's robust sound (recorded 1993) would be hard to improve on. Warmly recommended.

Delightful Listening.......1998-12-05

Some of the nicest and nearly forgotten music (Paint your Wagon & Brigadoon) is nicely compiled here. It will make you want to listen to the full soundtracks again, but for a quick tour of Lerner & Lowe, it is very nice.

Amazon.com

The only major Rodgers and Hammerstein show not to have had a major Broadway revival, South Pacific receives its first complete recording, capturing 107 minutes of classic songs as well as reprises and underscored dialogue. Given the thankless task of succeeding Mary Martin of the original Broadway cast is the wonderful Paige O'Hara (Disney's Beauty and the Beast, John McGlinn's Show Boat), full of sass and spunk as Nellie Forbush. Although this Emile De Becque, Justino Diaz, isn't actually a Frenchman (but hey, neither was Ezio Pinza), his accent is only a faint distraction from his rich voice. Filling out the cast are tenor Sean McDermott as Lt. Joe Cable and Pat Suzuki (Flower Drum Song) as Bloody Mary. It's a very good recording, and an easy choice for anyone who wants the complete score. The only drawback is that, unlike other JAY Masterworks Editions, this one doesn't include extra songs, such as "My Girl Back Home," a song cut from the original production but restored for the 1958 film. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

Great complete recording.......2004-07-19

In reply to M.Clegg's contention with regards to the status of the stars of this great complete recording, I would like to point out that all the main leads, Justino Diaz (New York City Opera Production), Paige O'Hara (Australian production), Sean McDermott (The Pace Production - USA) and Pat Suzuki (Long Beach Light Opera Production) have all played their respective roles on stage in various productions. This is clearly listed in the booklet of the recording. On the contary, I find their interpretation to be vivid and compelling. A great recording.

Complete but not Perfect.......2004-07-16

As with the complete recordings of Guys and Dolls and The Pajama Game, this double CD brings together the full score including uncut dance-breaks and incidental music. The orchastrations are fantastic but, like the others in this series, the cast suffer due to the 'studio' nature of the recording. There is little of the vibrancy and excitment of a Broadway Cast Recording because the cast are only singing the roles and have probably never seen the script at all. This means that many of the performances, while technically good, are characterless.
Paige O'Hara, excellent as the voice of Disney's Belle, plays the part a little too twee - yes, I know Nellie is a hick but she goes too far in that direction. Justino Diaz, as Emile, has a good voice that does not cover the lack of a personality. The rest of the cast are equally too note-perfect.
The people who will find this recording the most useful will be people, like myself, who are performers. When performing in a production of South Pacific this CD was very useful, more for the not-available-anywhere-else material than anything else. The dance music and the incidental stuff is useful to rehearse with.
On the whole, a worthy CD for the completist but if you want a more character-driven recording, search out one from an actual stage performance.

Complete Score Recording.......2000-04-11

We are performing South Pacific at my high school and this CD was really helpful in choreographing the dance numbers because it has the music in between the singing, in other words, the complete score.

Ah...the memories. I remember this musical with fondness because it was the first musical that I had the honor of playing in the pit band for. Out of all of the South Pacific soundtracks, I love this one the most because it includes every song in the score (I checked)!

With Some Help, Perry delivers a Solid Debut Album.......2006-09-22

When Steve Perry joined Journey in 1977, he succeeded in transforming Journey from a Progressive Rock band into a mainstream band. Journey had been a band that was an off-shoot of Santana by Neal Schon - who was considered to be the band's leader. I find it very interesting how integrated Perry became with Journey. A few years later, Perry and Schon would be joined by Keyboardist Jonathan Cain. Together, the Perry-Cain-Schon songwriting combination became as powerful as any songwriting combination on the music scene. Following the release of Journey's 1984 "Frontiers" album, Perry decided to strike out on his own with his debut solo album entitled - "Street Talk". This album is best known for the hit songs "Oh Sherrie" and "Foolish Heart". While I would put this album a notch below the work that Perry was doing with Journey, it still was a very good album. It was an album that should have provided Perry with a solo career that could have been done in parallel with Journey (i.e. like Phil Collins did with Genesis) - unfortunately that would never happen.

Despite the fact that Perry had moved Journey into a mainstream band, Journey's sound could still be categorized as an "Arena Rock" sound". The "Arena Rock" sound provided both power ballads and high tempo songs - complete with a good balance of hard guitars and keyboards. Despite the fact that Perry brought in acclaimed guitarist Michael Landau, the sound still has very much a 80s synth-pop sound. Also worth noting is the inclusion of Larrie Londin on the majority of drum duties for "Street Talk". Londin would later be brought into Journey by Perry to work on the "Raised on Radio" - replacing longtime drummer Steve Smith. The songwriting trio of Perry, Cain, and Schon isn't going to be on this album. Perry still contributes to the songwriting of all ten tracks of "Street Talk", but he does bring in songwriting partners to collaborate with on each of these tracks. This allowed Perry to explore his own musical directions.

Here is a synopsis of the ten tracks:

"Oh Sherrie": Many know this song to be about Perry's longtime girlfriend Sherrie Swafford. While this might have been an MTV hit, this is very much a complete song. Outstanding guitar and keyboards - especially Landau's guitar riffs that seem to "slide in" perfectly. The verses have a terrific build-up to the chorus Ultimately it is Perry's vocals that dominate this song - both on lead and background vocals. Listen to the a cappella beginning where you can literally hear Perry's breath as he kicks off the song.

"I Believe": This is a nice track. Londin's drumming seems in-sync with this nice "feel-good" up-tempo song. The chorus is actually a little more of a let-down when I compare it to the verses, but it's still a good song. The saxophone toward the latter part of the song plays a nice role.

"Go Away": This is very much a synth-pop sounding song. With the exception of a short guitar solo by Landau, this song didn't have me doing handstands. This was definitely one of the weaker tracks.

"Foolish Heart": While not the "complete" song like "Oh Sherrie", this is still a solid track - and justifies its hit single status. While "Oh Sherrie" blew me away from Day 1, this song took a little more time to get into. This is a softer song. I wouldn't categorize it as an Arena Rock power ballad, but more of a pop ballad. Perry's vocals are the highlight of this track.

"It's Only Love": This is very much a synth-pop song - with a lot of keyboards. It has a very up-tempo style. The use of the Caribbean-sounding Steel Piano shows some nice innovation on the part of Perry. I like the bridge into the part of the song that goes ..."so let's turn it around". This is a very underrated track.

"She's Mine": This was another single from the collection, but it didn't get as much attention as "Oh Sherrie" and "Foolish Heart". This song has the most-Journey like feel of all of the tracks on this collection. Again, Perry integrates the saxophone brilliantly on this track - and again a nice solo by Landau. Londin does a nice job on the drums on this track.

"You Should Be Happy": This song also has an 80s feel from both a keyboard and guitar standpoint. The song starts with some 80s keyboards and then progresses to a harder guitar sound. The "happy" on the chorus invokes some memories of Journey, but I'd still very much call this a Perry song.

"Running Alone": This is a softer song - and a more unique song from Perry's standpoint. Once again, a very underrated track. Perry delivers a very emotional performance on this song - probably the most emotional one next to "Oh Sherrie". This song grows on you each time you hear it.. Listen to the sound of the children integrated on this track.

"Captured By the Moment": This song switches back and forth between the soft and hard rocking sound. Perry and Landau really shine here. Landau's guitar helps Perry make the transition from the soft to the hard sound. Landau also has another terrific solo.

"Strung Out": This was another single released, and again I'm surprised it didn't get as much attention as the others. All of the elements come together on this track for another "complete performance". Nice balance of the keyboards and guitar on this song, great drums - even though no Landau or Londin on this track. As the last track on an album, it does its job well - namely having you want more.

The liner notes include all of the lyrics and musician credits. Overall, this is a very good album. It's different than Journey, but still very good. Too bad Perry didn't release many albums. I'd highly recommend this one.

Oh Sherry.......2006-05-27

She should have been gone, knowing how he made her feel. But what did Sherry do? She hung out. She could've done worse. Sure he made a really cheesy, mullet laced video about her, but that's love, man! That's love. What would 9th grade have been without Steve saying what we felt and with synthesizers? Different, I tell you. He told some broad "Go Away." He told yet another, if she would have tried, if she hadn't lied, she'd never be alone again. Why'd I miss my bus listening to Strung Out and eating cornflakes? It was the Steve Perry magic. That's why. He spoke for the poor, unrequited young dude. Viva la Perry! Viva la Perry!

Street Talk ~ Steve Perry.......2006-02-28

This is a great CD! Steve Perry is a timeless singer. The music is exceptional. I have always been a fan and I always will be.

A Journey Into Hell.......2006-01-03

Steve Perry, the singer of Journey, is one of the greatest vocalists ever. He sounds very good on the album but the problem is...this is not Journey. Journey knew how to do a slow song, but they also could rock like no one else. This album has a few rocking moments but most of it is a mangled mess of pop balladry. I bought this album solely because of Oh Sherrie. Journey fans will not enjoy this, but if you love Steve that much you will probably enjoy a little of it.

Steve Perry proves he can stand alone!.......2005-10-09

With Journey guitarist Neal Schon having done two solo albums with Jan Hammer and one with Sammy Hagar, Steve Perry decided that after Journey's Frontiers tour it was time for him to try a solo project. Street Talk is Steve Perry's solo debut. With Street Talk Steve Perry proves that he can be successful without Journey. While the band Perry has chosen is not as good as the members of Journey, Perry put together a great set of songs and a good band to perform them.

Album Description

The popular "Hitchhiker" books by the late Douglas Adams inspired the engagingly quirky score by Joby Talbot. In addition to the score, the CD features: "Shoo-Rah Shoo-Rah" by Betty Wright; "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)" by Al Green; "Magic Moments " from Perry Como; "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" by Neil Hannon; "Careless Talk" and "Vote Beeblebrox" by Neil Hannon, Douglas Payne and Andy Dunlop; and "Reasons to be Miserable (His Name is Marvin)" by Stephen Fry.

Joby Talbot began writing and performing in the early '90s, working with artists such as Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, and producer Nigel Godrich. In 2000, his score to the primetime British comedy "The League of Gentlemen" won the Royal Television Society Award for Best Title Music. The British Film Institute commissioned Talbot to compose a new score for Alfred Hitchcock's silent classic "The Lodger." As a classical composer, he has worked with all the major U.K. orchestras and has been commissioned by the prestigious BBC Proms Festival.

ah-HA ... Quite a pleasure, really. .......2006-03-05

.
If you enjoyed the movie [and we will assume that you did since you're here] you will love this soundtrack! It's got Everything!

Much of the work is orchestral. Some of it is techno. There are a couple of pop tune, and Perry Como [it works, trust me].

The Opening Theme "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" is a gloriously funny show tune. It was funny on screen, but here you can pick out the lyrics. It's even more fun when you can sing along.

It's got the theme from the original radio play "Journey of the Sorcerer", banjo and all. [so did the movie].
Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is mellow enough to blow your mind.
"Huma's Hymn" about the Coming of the Great White Handkerchief is nothing more then Holy.
The "Planet Factory Floor" is ...Well, it's just plain Huge!

And Stephen Fry rapping. Stephen Fry, Man!! Reginald Jeeves of "Jeeves and Wooster" fame! If you are familiar with Stephen Fry, then the absurdity of him rapping makes this even more fun to listen to. He does the last track called "Reasons to Be Miserable (His Name is Marvin)", and he pulls it off so well!

It's enough to make you want this album!

A Pleasant Surprise.......2005-11-12

The Hitchhiker's Guide movie,for all its stupendous obserdity, had a surprisingly good score that one doesn't usually find in a comedy.

The silly tracks are in there too, and they're just as entertaining as the more traditional stuff. I love the music that is emitted from the Guide; its digital tones sound like a cell phone (except way less annoying and way cooler). Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is really awesome; it's like chilled Guide techno.

The slower tracks are equally nice. Tea in Space, Love, The Whale, and Space are all so simple and very pretty.

Then there are a few scores that are really big and just plain awesome. So Long and Thanks for All the Fish (and the intro about dophins) is so hysterical...I love how it's all put together. The Journey of the Sorcerer is fantastic. The only thing that's different about this version from the film is the addition of drums, but it's not a bad change at all. Planet Factory Floor is filled with such wonder and hugeness that's perfect for Magrathea. It's followed by the equally awesome Earth Mark II.

The only thing I didn't like about this CD was the addition of
Reasons to Be Miserable (His Name is Marvin). It was just....annoying and incredibly bad. But it's at the end of the CD, so I just don't listen to it. Not a big problem.

If you've seen the movie and enjoyed the music, this CD is definitely worth it. Who knew a comedy could have such epic music in it?

That's It --- I'm Voting for Beeblebrox!.......2005-11-03

By now, you've probably seen the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie in a theater, or at least on DVD (if not both.) Now check out the movie's amazing soundtrack.

The two major standouts of this album in my opinion are "Journey of the Sorcerer" and "Vote Beeblebrox." Anyone who's more than a casual fan of "Hitchhiker's" will immediately recognize "Journey of the Sorcerer" as the classic "Hitchhiker's" theme by the Eagles played on both the radio and television versions and now the movie as well. This version is enhanced and sounds great. It was a treat hearing it at the theater and it's awesome on this CD as well. "Vote Beeblebrox" --- I about died laughing when I heard this one. This is a sort of campaign song for Zaphod Beeblebrox that unfortunately never made it into the movie. "Don't believe the rumors / don't believe the vicious lies" it says, talking about how Zaphod isn't stupid. It continues in this vain with a hilarious spoken part from Zaphod saying that he "y'know, just wants to say all the things that presidents say, y'know." Has to be heard to be believed.

Following close behind these are definitely both versions of the wondrous "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish." Personally, I prefer the second version, a sort of upbeat lounge number, but both are great. "So long and thanks for all the fish / So sad that it should come to this / We tried to warn you all, but oh dear."

This album also includes a couple of what I guess could called Golden Oldies --- "Shoo-Rah! Shoo-Rah!" and "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)." Of these two, I thought "Shoo-Rah! Shoo-Rah!" was definitely better and more fun.

The bulk of the CD is the instrumental tracks from the film. Composed by Joby Talbot, these tend to suit the scenes they come from well. Enjoy some memories from the movie, or just enjoy listening to the music.

Finally, one last thing to mention --- "Reasons to be Miserable (His Name is Marvin)." Performed by Stephen Fry, this is a redo of a song by "Marvin himself." Wanna know what it's like to be Marvin? "In everything he has to do, he finds the world condemning / If he had his time again, he'd rather be a lemming." Yep, that Marvin's sure depressed (and depressing), but the song is fairly fun to listen to.

So long, that's all.......2005-10-01

When I saw the film and heard that catching tune "So Long & Thanks For All the Fish" I immediately decided to have this soundtrack, no doubt. So I rushed to buy the recording and, well brother you've bet, I fell in love with the whole disk. Get this, now, today! You won't be disappointed! You're gonna love the title song!

Zarquad! What A Hoopy Soundtrack!.......2005-06-02

Joby Talbot's score for the film version of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is phenomenal. I mean, wow! Really incredibly phenomenal! I mean, you may think Danny Elfman's score to Spider-Man 2 was phenomenal, but that's just peanuts to this score! Okay, I may be exaggerrating a bit, but that should not distract from the fact that this is a great score for a wonderful film. Not only does the music work well with the film, but I would suggest it as a companion to other versions of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy you may come across. Try listening to it while reading one of the books, for instance. Or playing the text adventure from Infocom.

Some notable points:
The introduction about Dolphins, read by Stephen Fry, who of course played the voice of the Book in the film. And of course, the brassy, Broadway-style show-stopping musical number "So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish" which serves as a wonderfully ridiculous setpiece for the opening credits. The melody appears several times throughout the score, usually whenever Arthur or Trillian are thinking of Earth. It is also reprised as a slow, jazzy, lounge singery song during the first part of the closing credits.

The cue from when the Vogons destroy the earth, which is appropriately tense and dramatic, and climaxes with a panicked-sounding string section playing imposibly high, abrubt notes, and ends abruptly as the earth is destroyed.

To fans of the original radio and TV series, I say to you Don't Panic, because Bernie Leadon's "Journey of the Sorcerer" (Which, for those of you that don't know, served as the theme to both the TV and radio series) is on the soundtrack with a faithful and reverent arrangement, complete with banjo. It is one of my favorite tracks on the album, and I listen to it along with the following track, which shares its name with the film's title, and the title of one of the most wholly remarkable books in the universe: The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

Another great track is the music for the whale that is suddenly called into existance over the planet of Magrathea. It is filled with unwarranted optimism, and pathos, and gives the scene the necessary emotional edge, which I think is something Douglas Adams himself would have enjoyed immensely, since he created the whale in response to cop shows where innocent bystanders are meaninglessly killed as a result of conflicts or car chases that they had nothing to do with, and the audience doesn't care about them since they were only on the screen for two seconds. So Douglas wanted to create a character who would only exist as a character for a very short time, but make him extremely sympathetic so the audience would feel actual emotion when he is killed. And it works, and has worked in every version of the Hitchhiker's Guide I've been exposed to.

Another great track is "Huma's Hymn", which sounds so authentically like a church song that you could swear you'd be able to find it in your church's song book. (But you won't, so don't go looking for it.) As I understand it, most of the chorus singing the song consists not of professional singers, but of fans and other random people who happened to be walking by the church where the song was recorded, to give it that extra level of authenticity that other filmmakers probably wouldn't care about.

Overall, this is a very evocative and wonderfully fantastic score. Mr. Talbot displays much originality, but at points seems to channel other great composers of SciFi movie music. I hear traces of John Williams' scores for the Star Wars films and Superman the Movie, Jerry Goldsmith's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, James Horner's Star Treks II and III, and even Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy soundtracks. Just listen to track 8 and you'll see what I mean.

Just so you know, there are three tracks that are not part of the score of the film. I suppose you could call them "Pop" tracks, but they're not tracks that have been popular in the past 10 years, at least. Only one of them: Perry Como's "Magic Moments" was in the film, at least that I could tell. It was used as source music twice, once in the pub near the beginning, and once near the end. That's all I can say about that without spoiling the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it. (And if you don't recognise the name of the song, it's been used in several movies, so you've probably heard it before.) The other two songs are Betty Wright's "Shoo-Rah! Shoo-Rah!" and Al Green's "Here I Am (Come And Take Me)". While the inclusion of these songs on an otherwise orchestral soundtrack may seem odd, they definitely fit the film. Even if "Shoo-Rah! Shoo-Rah!" and "Here I Am (Come And Take Me)" don't appear in the film, you can imagine that they'd be the next songs to be cued on the jukebox in the pub near the beginning of the film, and so they help establish the mood for the scene. Some fans may be surprised or disappointed in the non-inclusion of Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World", but if you see the film, you will see that the scene during which that song played in the radio and TV series is not in the film. But no biggie, if they make a sequel (and there's no reason they shouldn't) perhaps that scene will make it in.

Overall, I'd say that this is a soundtrack that no fan of the Hitchhiker's franchise should be without. So buy it now, before the earth is demolished to make a hyperspace bypass!

Steve Perry stands on his own!.......2007-02-21

This is Steve Perry's solo debut & for Journey fans this is a little bit of a departure from what Journey does musically but in some ways it is similar; basically Steve found an even ground with his music & Journey's. Most of the tracks on here are excellent--Oh Sherrie, Foolish Heart: the hits from this CD--- Go Away, It's Only Love, She's Mine, Captured by the Moment (my favorite track.) This is a great CD if you are a fan of top notch pop rock such as Journey or Chicago (80's era.)

None of the music you expect is on here.......2007-07-21

None of the songs you want are on this CD like all the Talking Heads stuff. It blows.

Only trails behind Rumblefish.......2006-03-14

Stewart Copeland made some incredible film scores after the Police broke up, and this split disc of entries for Wall Street and Talk Radio is terrific. Especially Talk Radio. The bad reviews for this disc were from people thinking they were getting a Top Gun type soundtrack, this is instrumentals only with some sampled voices.

Where are the songs?.......2005-07-14

I agree with the other reviewer... the songs that make this film were the opening Sinatra version of Fly Me to the Moon, the opera played while Charlie makes sushi at his height and the closing song by the Talking Heads, This Must Be the Place... all of which are not on the album.

Disappointed.......2002-06-15

The only reason I wanted this CD was for the song that plays during the end credits of Wall Street. I love this song and think it is a total eighties song. I did not enjoy the other songs on the CD and I wish I had not bought this.

One more compositional highlight for this Genius.......2001-10-04

This is complex fusion music which attempts to fix different kinds of music into something different and as new as possible. It's more difficult to learn this music, but when you did it will surely turn an unending source of pleasure. Soundtrack music is in a sense slave to the image, but this apparent limitation is the way to get to musica climates that the creator probably could never reached if wasn't commanded to work within certain rules. Stewart Copeland is a drummer and so he can avoid the harmonic-developped but usually boring sketches that are produced to fit with films. Something experimental could appear into theese tracks, but Copland has done a tremendous job and never forget that is one of the most ambitious popular composers of our time (besides of course he's an incredible drummer).
