Amazon.com

For his third collaboration with director Sam Mendes (after American Beauty and The Shawshank Redemption), composer Thomas Newman has come up with one of his finest scores. The music mixes modern atmospheric quasi-rock touches with Middle Eastern influences (with particularly great success on the tracks "Welcome to the Suck" and "Zoomies."). The latter manifest themselves in both the beats and the instrumentation--the credits include soloists on exotic instruments such as the bowed cumbus (a type of banjo-like lute) and the processed xaphoons (a sax made of bamboo). All the more jarring, then, when the CD's handful of songs pop up. (It's quite a jolt to hear Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" after four eerie instrumental tracks.) The other song picks are obvious but well chosen: T-Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," "Naughty by Nature's "O.P.P.," Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," and Tom Waits's "Soldier's Things." Still, it's Newman's work that propels this CD, not the pick-up songs. Surprisingly, Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries," which figures in one of the movie's most memorable scenes (when soldiers watch Apocalypse Now), isn't included here. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

You fools!.......2006-10-27

I am reading all the negative reviews of this soundtrack, and most of them mention the absence of Kanye West's "Jesus Walks." One reviewer gives the album one star because he was "misled" into buying the album.

Um, hello? This is an instrumental score for the film! NOT a Various Artists soundtrack! This is, you may have noticed, an album that falls under the name of Thomas Newman! If anyone bought this expecting other music, then it's entirely their own fault. It even says on the front: "MUSIC BY THOMAS NEWMAN."

That said, I'd also like to correct Amazon on something - they said this is Newman's third outing with Mendes, the other two being "Shawshank Redemption" and "American Beauty."

Shawshank was directed by Frank Darabont, NOT Sam Mendes.

Mendes' other pairing with Newman was actually on 2002's "Road to Perdition," which is another great soundtrack I'd heartily recommend purchasing.

Missing Theme Song - but otherwise not bad.......2006-03-01

If you've watched the previews for this film, you're likely expecting a song called Jesus Walks by Kanye West to be on the soundtrack but it's not there - very annoying. But otherwise it's a pretty good CD of music to listen to while you work out or drive fast.

Fine score, but a consumer warning for the CD.......2006-01-20

Thomas Newman's original music for JARHEAD is not only typically daring with many unconventional sounds (utilizing samples, electronic treatments and exotic percussion), but one of his most stirring, rock-influenced efforts as well (as with the opening track, "Welcome to the Suck"). At first I thought there were no melodies as memorable as "Dead Already" from AMERICAN BEAUTY or "Road to Chicago" from ROAD TO PERDITION, but the 3/4-time march used in both "Raining Oil" and "Desert Storm" has grown on me. Of course the CD is recommendable for Newman's score alone. But...

...while one doesn't buy a CD of this nature primarily for the extra songs, one does expect the extras to be competently presented when they appear. So I was taken aback to hear Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" at a faster tempo and higher pitch than usual, as though mastered from a sped-up tape. I can't think of any intentional reason for this, so I'm assuming it was a mistake, but either way I found it not only annoying in itself but because of "Fight the Power"'s thematic significance, with its reference to the Bobby McFerrin tune heard earlier in the movie. ("'Don't Worry Be Happy' was a number one jam/Damn if I say it you can slap me right here".)

So then, while I like the Thomas Newman score a lot, I'm docking the CD a star for the sped-up "Fight the Power". Caveat emptor.

Thomas Newman is a Genius!.......2006-01-07

Thomas Newman is brilliant as always and delivers beautifully. Having read the book prior to the motion picture, Thomas Newman truly brings Swofford's tale to life. If you enjoyed The Horse Whisperer or the Shawshank Redemption score, then you'll thoroughly enjoy Jarhead.

Almost perfect for the film, loses points as a cd.......2005-12-23

Make no mistake - Jarhead proves Thomas Newman's abillity to write music for film. He is not making the music in order to show off his amazing talents, he is making the music so it is perfect for the film. Whereas some composers might score depressing scenes with grand sweeping movements trying to make themselves look like complex composers, Newman knows what will enhance the scene and what won't, and what can convey the message required.

Ultimately, this describes Jarhead perfectly. I have seen the movie and music is seamless and perfect for it. For the most part, there is a sonic texture created, with guitars and drums to represent the bravado of the characters. If you are a fan of Newman's stirring orchestral works this is definitely not something you would like. Newer fans of "American Beauty" and the like will find things to enjoy here, but not in as vibrant or pleasing a way as in that album. The score on it's own is just not as exciting or involving as it could be. It is interesting in it's own right, but not very pleasing to hear. However, there are many good tracks interspersed throughout the score to take you to the good spot.

Overall, Jarhead warrants a 4.5/5 for the film, but on a cd, it's score drops to 3/5. It is pleasant at times, and mostly an interesting CD, but there are too many Newman masterpieces to consider this one high on your buying list. Then agan, if you are a Newman fan, this CD should satisfy you're urge to see what the guy is up to. Final score? Three out of five.

A Great Collection of Songs That Made Her a Star:.......2000-06-18

It was her first several motion pictures that resulted in Deanna Durbin's becoming the highest paid female star of her time; and it is from those movies that this anthology has been taken. The selections are a good mixture of everything from operatic arias to popular tunes of the day. The original recordings are over sixty years old; but modern engineering techniques have enhanced them to "better than new" sound. If you, like so many others, are rediscovering this remarkable young artist, this album will provide a great deal of pleasure...for the music, and as an excellent example of nostalgic memorabilia.

Customer Reviews:

Geri Halliwell at her best!.......2002-02-21

Ok, i just bought this single as a import here in America yesterday, and heres what I have to say about each track:

1. Album Version Great! Geri has remade the song from The Weather Girls version and has added some nice new lyrics and music. Although Miss Halliwell stated in a interview: 'The producers of the film Bridget Jones's Diary asked me to do it. So I said why not. They liked it so much they had me put it on as another track on the album and my next single.

2. Bold & Beautiful Glamour Mix-Edit I love this mix, of all the mixes of the CD, I'd have to say that this mix is my favorite.

3. Almighty Mix-Edit This mix is good too, It it done by piano as well as other music, and you can her Geri real well on this track too.

4. D-Bop's Tall & Blonde Mix-Edit, I dont care for this mix as much as I do for the others. It is alright, but not at its best. But if I had to grade it from 1: bad, and 10, excellent i'd gve it a 5, so it all depends on taste.

Geri Power!

sad, souless, and sleepy.......2001-10-04

For those of us who love the engergy the original Weather Girls brought to this number, Geri's rendition is..well, lacking. It is truly unfortunate, because this singer is the same vocalist who brought us many memorable hits form the Spice Grils....Geri's impassioned vocal from the Spice Girls "Wannabe", for example, created high expectaions for me. In fairess, I can say that her singing is techincally accurate, albeit souless. The ONLY energy in this new cover is from the techno beat track. The snappy attitude from the original is missing. Cher was able to bring soul and energy to techno, and so was Madonna. Perhaps it is just a bad mixing job (but all of the tracks???) If you are looking for the same kind of energy, vereve, and snappy reverie from the original number, you will not find it on this recording....

COOOOOOOL REMIXES! EXCELLENT GERI¡.......2001-06-20

Incredible opening single for the new album "Scream if you wanna go faster". This second part of the single has an excellent mixes for Its raining men. They just put you up dancing. Geri has done an excellent work.You cant miss this single, so go right now and BUY IT!

It's raining remixes!.......2001-06-02

This is the number 2 cd of a two cd set, they say. I've listened to number 1, it has no remixes at all, only the album version and the cd-rom video, plus two bonus tracks. I had a choice to make, so I bought the cd 2 with the remixes and I don't regret it. The remixes are not very different from the original, but it's better that way: the essence of the song isn't wasted by some annoying and repetitive beats. Track list: 1) Album Version 4:18 - No comments, since you've certainly heard it.. it's GOOD! 2) B&B Glamour mix edit 4:47 - Very similar to the original, but better! A little bit longer than Album version, and a stronger beat. 3) Almighty mix edit 3:46 - This is a good danceable version of the song. Similar to original, but a more "traditional" dance beat. (Almighty had also remixed Cher's "Believe", remember?) 4) D-Bop's Tall and Blond mix edit 6:55 - This remix is a bit too long in my opinion, but is still interesting, especially the chorus, which contains some piano notes. Danceable, and a good way to end the cd. Some reviewers said that the remixes on this cd are like 8 minutes long, and frankly I don't understand, since the longest track on mine is the last one, 6:55. Their tracklisting is exactly the same, with longer versions. I think if you're in Canada like me you get shorter versions of the remixes. Anyway, I don't like endless remixes. Hallelujah! ;-)

AWESOME REMIXES AND AN AWESOME SONG..........2001-05-17

Geri Halliwell's cover of "It's Raining Men" is a pretty cool song. It sounds alot like the old hit, except with advanced acoustics. Here's a list of the tracks:

1) ALBUM VERSION: This song is a really awesome cover of the old 1984 hit. This version is really cool because it has advanced acoustics to it and Geri's vocals are awesome as well. She surpassed what the media has expected from her once again.

2) BOLD & BEAUTIFUL GLAMOUR MIX EDIT: This remix is definitely for the clubs and I wouldn't be surprised if it did hit them soon. The beat, unfortunately, is very repetetive and it gets really tiring.

3) ALMIGHTY MIX EDIT: This isn't so much of a club mix, but it's definitely got a dance beat to it. It's got a cool sound to it, but I doubt it will be hitting any clubs soon.

4) D-BOP'S TALL & BLONDE MIX EDIT: This remix is pretty good. It's definitely a club mix that goes good along with the previous club mix on the track. It sounds like it would go good in any club.

Customer Reviews:

It's raining what?.......2004-05-01

My god this is an awfull remake of the classic Weather Girls song. Geri's voice is so flat and harsh on this song. An extremely poor contribution to the Orginal Songbirds classic hit. Buy the orininal.

Geri returns - good or bad?.......2001-07-13

Geri Halliwell has finally done a good song that deserved to go to #1 in the UK. The ratio of the song that I like is 90% music and 10% vocals.

Geri has been slated one of the worlds worst singers and most voted to be kicked out of the studio - but hey, shes enjoying her life so what can you do about.

However, the song is a re make of the Weather Girls 'Its Raining Men' back in the old days. Geri has somehow proved herself to get in my good books.

The single is an uptempo dance number which has a fantastic beat. The video isn't too bad either. If you thought her last singles 'Look at me' & 'Bag It Up' were good, ya gonna love this.

BRILLIANT!GERI¡.......2001-07-09

Excellent single by Geri. Its a great opening for the new album and a great song. Its an excellent single, that contains 3 tracks:

1.- Its raining men: Brilliant song and cover. 2.- I was made that way: Excelent ballad. 3.- Brave New World: Incredible futuristic song 4.- Its raining men (video): Amazing video. It doesnt contains the Bridget Jones Diary parts of the video. IOnstead it contains new parts.

Its a single you must have. so GO AND BUY NOW!

She shouldn't have been allowed.......2001-06-14

This is a song for Divas to perform, not Geri, she has no Diva status, allthough she sings it nicely, she hasn't the presence and the style to do it, much less in a video. The first recording was by the Weather Girls - Awesome, the second one by Ru Paul and Marta Wash - Divine. Geri should try this song again in 30 years if she still exists as a singer, presently she shouldn't have been allowed to record it.

Good Version.......2001-05-30

I know this version isn't perfect but i liked it and i bought it. Geri has managed to breathe life into another classic song that was number 1 in the UK for 2 weeks. This is the first single to be lifted from her album Scream If You Want To Go Faster (number 4 in the UK), which so shows that we are in for one hell of a ride

Last Rose of Summer-Deanna Durbin.......2006-02-26

You have sent an e-mail inviting me to give my opinion on this
item.I am sorry I cannot go over 2 stars as unfortunately there
is a defect on last track of the record, precisely on the song
"The last Rose of Summer".Anyhow I intend to buy other Deanna
Durbin's records as I enjoy very much her voice, but unfortunately the wallet is empty now.
Thanks for all your help on trying to find "Shane: a Tribute to Victor Young"but no euccess. I will try to buy another item later.

Last Rose of Summer - flat and lifeless.......2004-09-16

This is a good CD only because of Deanna Durbin, but it is not a good CD for the following:

- It's stated right on the back of the jewel case that the source material used was "original 78 rpm records."
- The music is so compressed that there is no-longer any dynamic range left. I imagine the producers did this to eliminate any surface noise from the source material. But sense the source material was records you need to expect some surface noise, and to try and eliminate all of the surface noise is not good. Because the music becomes so compressed it starts to sound flat with no dynamic range at all. I understand these recordings are mono and not stereo, but there should be some amount of dynamic range to the sound. These recordings sound flat and lifeless.

Therefore, I do not recommend that you buy this CD look else where.
