Because it would be un-Prince-like to release a new studio album without kicking up a little controversy first, the Artist Formerly Known As a Cool-Looking Symbol gave away copies of Planet Earth with a British news tabloid weeks before its U.S. release. Among the reasons he shouldn't have: nobody who catches wind of the peerless funk-rock-soul he lays out on these 10 tracks--least of all longtime fans--would think twice about shelling out for it. A big chunk of the appeal is that Prince finds his way back to his guitar here. The title track, a politically right-on-time environmental rant, steers him back toward "Purple Rain" territory, as does "Lion of Judah" ("Guitar," oddly, doesn't--it's more of a straight-up, shout-it-out modern rocker). And the flirty numbers are seriously flammable: "Somewhere Here on Earth" seduces with a crackly jazz vibe, while "Mr. Goodnight" gets friendly with a refined slip of rap. Coolest of all are two tracks at cross purposes-- "Chelsea Rodgers" fuses funk with disco until it's so far off the hook it's in a heap on the floor, and "All the Midnights in the World" paints a picture of artistic maturity through piano and lyrics that lean hard on positivity. There's an elegance to it that Prince fans, no strangers to pop music that's truly sublime, won't fail to appreciate. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

Simply put, Planet Earth is the album longtime Prince fans have been waiting for. Several cuts on this album revisit some of the classic Prince sound the captured fans all over the world and helped deem him an incomparable music icon. Superstar and legendary musician prince kicked off 2007 with a show stopping Super Bowls Half-time performance. Prince pulled out all the stops during the second most-watched super bowl broadcast ever. With an estimated 93.2 million viewers to entertain, Prince wasted no time showing off his stages powers and irrefutable guitar skills. He masterfully captured the attention and respect of music fans in general, while sending a message to long time Prince fans that he was ready to once again reign supreme.

For us long time fans, this one is worth it.......2007-08-03

I bought the CD mostly because, as a major Prince fan, I tend to buy all of his CDs. It's an impulse, not a researched, purchase. My first piece of pre-recorded music that I bought was _Purple Rain_, as a 10 year old...I've been in love with the genius that is Prince ever since.

While I haven't been unhappy with the last 2 CDs, I wasn't fully satisfied...and judging by what others on here say, I'm clearly not alone. But upon listening to the grooves of "Planet Earth" and the subsequent songs on _Planet Earth_, I have to say that this is about as satisfied as I have been in a long time with Prince. Just like _Purple Rain_ and _Diamonds and Pearls_ (my absolute 2 favorite CDs of all time), the songs on _Planet Earth_ hit all the notes: sensual, blusey, gutteral rock, classic funk and R&B...I am 98% sated. It's not as good as the other two, but it's definitely one to have the in permanent rotation.

This is a good CD.......2007-08-03

Let's face it, Prince was in the zone from 1982 to 1988. During that period he could do no wrong. Planet Earth is not from that period. Compared to more recent stuff, I think Planet Earth is better than Musicology but not as good as 3121.

To me, there are 3 stand out tracks: Guitar, The One U Wanna C, and Chelsea Rodgers. Guitar is a catchy little pop-rocker. The One U Wanna C vocals are laid down very well and this too is catchy. Chelsea Rodgers is relentless disco-funk.

The rest of the songs are good and well written. There is an overall brightness to the tunes on Planet Earth. Like I said, this is no masterpiece, but it's worth the $15 you shell out.

A holding pattern.......2007-08-02

Forget the reviewers telling that Prince has grown so much with this release. In fact, as far as Planet Earth is concerned it's all been said and done before...and much better. Am I getting sick of Prince or am I spoiled with his 80s output, which was new, fresh and exciting with each release? Sure, it's not reasonable to expect that pace from him anymore. In any case, there is indeed nothing new under the sun.

Classic Prince.......2007-08-02

You can tell the real Prince Fans and the sometime I like Prince fans. This is classic Prince. Some people wants him to do the same music all the time. Please get over the Purple Rain times, yes that was good music, BUT WAKE PEOPLE! Prince has grown up and moved on. If you play all the cd's he's made, each one is different. Prince music has never been better. I really don't see how anyone can judge a cd by playing it one or two times and say that it sucks. You have to give music time to sink in your spirit and understand why good artist like Prince never does the same things. I always look forward to his new music when it comes out and this is a great cd. My only complaint is that it's only ten songs.

Sequencing, Sequencing, SEQUENCING!.......2007-08-02

The good:
Wendy and Lisa return. Hooray! Prince needs to include them more. "The One U Wanna C" has a similar feel to "Take me with U", "Raspberry Beret", and "I could never take the place of your Man".

More good:
I agree with a previous reviewer about "All the Midnights in the World" -- it is a brief, glorious trip back to 1986. Very reminiscent of "A place in Heaven" from the original (and tragically shelved) Dream Factory album.

The bad:
Song order. Momentum is key, as well as the placement of serious ballads like "Somewhere here on Earth", which are tough to follow.

Bottom line:
I've spent an hour reconfiguring the songs to something far more practical. If the album were resequenced in the following order, I'd give it 4 stars...

NOOO.......2007-06-21

I cant believe they left out the best song on the show, when the flowers are opening on the saguaro cactus in the deserts one and the same song plays in the rain forest when the tree falls to the ground and everything else starts to grow...someone find the name to that song please

Stunning.......2007-05-31

This stunning music is moving and truly beautiful, written to accompany the landmark tv show but blisteringly good by itself.

Stellar Sonics.......2007-03-24

I can't believe I'm the first to write a review on this gem here. The music was intended to support the beautiful imagery of the acclaimed BBC series Planet Earth and perhaps did not attract much attention to itself. You simply cannot really appreciate this music when it is drowned by images and narration. But listening to it as I did on a good headphone system, which really supports a concentrated listening effort, makes for a great musical experience. Sonically awesome and musically outstanding, this is trademark Fenton, sure enough, with broad orchestral sweeps and clever modulations. But even if your musical tastes do not care much for soundtracks, you owe it to yourself to get hold of this cd. It does not get much better than this.

Amazon.com

In the liner notes to Jamiroquai's debut album, lead singer and mastermind Jason Kay delivers a sincere, if oversimplified, screed about distributing the wealth and saving the rainforests. The lyrics follow suit: except for a single love tune ("Blow Your Mind"), Kay bemoans war, greed, racism, and conformity, or extols the power of music as a drug ("Hooked Up") or as a catalyst for social revolution. This is not Jamiroquai's most eloquent album, nor their strongest musically, what with most songs structured as long-form, open-ENDed jams weighing in at six minutes or more. Though interesting as a chronicle of Kay's musical vision taking shape, overall it's a document that will appeal most to Deadheads and jam-band fans. --Suzanne McElfresh

Their first and best in my opinion........2006-02-27

I own all of Jamiroquai's cd's and i think most of them are great. This is absolutely my favorite to listen to straight through. I think the horns are amazing especially on "Hooked Up", and the percussion always ends up pushing the pace in a subtle way. This album just makes me move and I think JK and co. have so much raw energy. Stuart on Bass is sick sick sick straight through. "Revolution 1993" has become my favorite song by Jamiroquai -- love the lyrics, the message, the excitement, the tension/release, its just put together so well. "Music of the Mind" is a great instrumental track and shows off the jazz-rock-funk roots of what became the later disco-enhanced Jamiroquai. Sweet solos too, the keys are great. Also love "Too Young To Die" and "Emergency On Planet Earth". Impressive debut from a band, and it stands as one of my favorite discs.

jamiroquai are soo cool!!!!!.......2005-11-08

this album is my first from jamiroquai, and i think this album is great!!! "when you gonna learn" and " too young to die" are great songs and "music of the mind" too. if you love and like funk music buy this cd!!

Forget the Stevie Wonder comparisons...........2005-07-05

Jamiroquai, as it stood in 1991, was one of the freshest sounds to come out of the Acid Jazz movement. This record, though uneven at times was overshadowed only by it's ambition. 10 tracks, none under 4:50, and most well over 5 minutes all the while creating a conscious VIBE. That right that was something that the kids were not getting on the radio back in 1991, especially here in America where Hip Hop had finally pierced the brains of record executives as a financial reality. However, for those in search of something just as viable with musicianship to boot, how much did it feel like Christmas Day after just one listen? Yes, in the years since they have had better records, "Space Cowboy" & "Travelling Without Moving", also worse ones "A Funk Odessey", but for what it was worth they have been well worth following just for the music alone. No Jay Kay is no Stevie but who the hell is? If you should choose to listen to this record just listen as a fan of music and in the context of it being 1991 and what was going on musically at that time. Now if you pick up their other CD's you will find that as time passes and the original band starts to splinter that the music also suffers. In particular, when Stuart Zender's bass leaves prior to Synkronized, the band goes to a more Disco influenced direction. This, in my mind, is why Jamiroqual has never had the success stateside that Sony had gambled on back in '90-'91.

Unexceptional.......2005-06-13

I like "Too Young to Die," but the rest of this disc is mostly just filler to me. The band channels the Stevie Wonder of the 70s and does a good job of emulating that funky vibe, but they don't really do anything original with it. In addition, most of the songs go on way too long, turning into jam sessions that become background music, unable to command my attention.

got that space cowboy vibe kinda thang goin on.......2004-07-30

ROTSC is such a solid album. The production is very so smooth. Stuart does such a splendid job on bass, probably the best in his Jamiroquai years. Jay Kay does a great job as far as songwritting, it's apparent he had more than just a few hits from the bong though.

From a band worthy of worship by Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Papa Roach fans, (hed)'s second album is a dozen-song collection that's personal, versatile, and eminently listenable. Much of Broke's dark yet surprisingly melodic and memorable charm lies in the portentous and chaotic musical climate the band creates. The well-crafted tunes explore a gamut of styles within the loosely defined hip-hop/metal genre, moving from the primal groove of "Killing Time" to the lively, Van Halen-inspired "Feel Good." The sextet includes a turntablist in DJ Product c. 1969, plus two guitarists, allowing the lineup to create a massive sound rife with subtle textures. From the psychotic vocals of "Pac Bell" to the epic rock chorus and hip-hop verses of "Bartender," (hed) seamlessly weave close-to-the-bone angst with commensurate musicality. This on-the-rise Orange Country band have definitely delivered the goods with this one. --Katherine Turman

Customer Reviews:

I can feel my spirit leaving.......2006-08-04

If ever there was such a thing as a perfect union between hard rock and rap, (hed) PE surely discovered the perfect balance.

I actually found out about (hed) PE from the song Feel Good with Serj of SOAD and Morgan Lander of Kittie. I loved Serj and Morgan's parts but wasn't entirely sure about Jahred's. The rapping eventually grew on me so I decided to pick up Broke purely on a hunch. Turns out that I really do enjoy this CD, much to my surprise.

If the topic of sex is taboo for you, definitely look elsewhere, (hed) PE doesn't shy away from that topic. Other than that, if you like rock beats and you like rap, Broke just might be exactly what you're looking for. For the majority of this CD it really is just rapping, but Pac Bell is a little more than that. A lot of the time the songs on here are just fun, but Pac Bell seems, I don't know, real. The intensity in Jahred's voice is incredible towards the end of the track. Other than that, Bartender is a great song with excellent verses and an extremely memorable chorus. Jesus (Of Nazareth) has some pretty honest lyrics and yet another great chorus. The Meadow is a nice closing track, with almost a Sublime-esque quality. Not the best song, but it seems a fitting end.

My favorite songs are Killing Time, Feel Good, Bartender, Pac Bell, and Jesus (Of Nazareth). Broke isn't a groundbreaking CD, just a solid listen. However, if you're a band wanting to infuse both rock and rap together and avoid being completely cliche, you might want to listen to a few (hed) PE CDs. Each song has a solid beat and, the majority of the time, good rapping. A worthy addition for any music library.

Best Hed P.E. CD.......2006-05-04

The title says it all. Even though I like all their cds they have yet to top this one and that will be hard to do. These guys know how to make good music and they prove it with this cd.

If it ain't BROKE then don't buy it!.......2006-03-09

Broke is by far the best CD ever put out by (hed)PE...from 'KILLING TIME' to 'THE MEADOW' this CD is worth every second. 'KILLING TIME' opens with a great song to get you into the CD...not the best song on the CD but one of the most 'fan-friendly' songs showing the rap and rock side of the CD. Great track. 'WAITING TO DIE' is one of my favorite tracks ever done by (hed)PE...the screaming is great. As a huge fan of Kittie and System of a Down, the next track 'FEEL GOOD' is just a blessing. The verse is great, I just love the monotone rapping done 'I'm ready n****, slice like a macheti n****'. Morgan is awsome, great screaming voice, but it's Serj's bridge that makes this song kick@$$! 'BARTENDER' was the first single. It's decent, reminds me of a Sublime song...not bad. 'I GOT YOU' and 'BOOM' are kicking songs, especially 'BOOM' it's just so freaking awsome and in your face "how you like that!" The start of 'I GOT YOU' reminds me of a KoRn song, the way he sings is like Jonothan Davis. 'SWANDIVE' is one of my favorite songs here, different, more mellow, melodic and slower paced with piano and a great verse...the chorus is heavier, but it's the verse that I really like. 'THE MEADOW' is a great closer, much like 'SWANDIVE' great great way to go out. I just wish every (hed)PE CD would be this good.

This is a really good CD!.......2005-11-07

This CD has alot of really good songs on it, like Bartender which was played on the radio alot a few years ago, and The Meadow which is another awesome song. I also really liked Pac Bell. This is one of those CD's that you can listen to over and over because all of the songs are really good. You should get it.

A flash of brilliance.......2005-10-12

Oh yes - this is the good stuff! A much more focused effort compared to their debut with some great arrangements, terrific sounds, excellent vocals and unique beats - what else could a white, middle-class, self-confessed metal-head want?! (hed) really came into their own with this album. What I particularly like are the computerised beats and sudden flourishes of human drumming over the top - really creative and, if I can get away with saying this, showing something akin to what Peter Gabriel did live with Manu Katche on the Secret World Tour. The two songs on Broke I'm referring to here are `Pac Bell' and `Jesus (of Nazareth)'. Everyone goes on about the song `Bartender', but I don't rate it as high as some other stuff on here. I can't really fault any of the tunes on `Broke' but I do particularly like `Killing Time', `Boom', `Swan Dive', `Stevie' and `Jesus'. The thing I've learned most to admire about this band is Mawk's sparse basslines. Most players would lace these songs with monstrous riffs, but his playing shows some damn fine maturity. I'd recommend this album to anyone because it's not overly obtuse, and it showcases a band that is top of their tree. To be honest, I don't think much else compares in this genre.

This is a hot release, experimental sampling+Hip-Hop+Reggae Dub+Punk Thrash/Metal= This album, you see (Hed)can not be categorized in one particular section, they're a melting pot of styles...Anyways this album is bangin', great breakdowns, dj scratches, rhymes, growls whatever...Pick this up, best of all their releases, their 2nd release "Broke" was good as well, but after that their albums went downhill..PEACE

Funky, fresh, and metallic -- serve it up raw!.......2005-10-12

When (hed) released their debut LP it was right at the height of the "Nu-Metal" craze, largely propagated by Korn, but it still stands out head and shoulders above what is mostly music made by angry, self-absorbed wannabes. I guess the closest group to them are early-era Incubus, although (hed) are probably a little more aggressive. Despite the band knowing exactly how to land a heavy groove, the thing that really sets them apart is the astonishing charisma and vocal talent of their dynamic lead singer, Jahred; a truly versatile frontman mixing up speedy raps, guttural growling, and melodic singing. All the tunes have that distinctive (hed) sound (Korn-esque chord voicings, clean-ish detuned riffs) which remains across all their albums and is testament to their craft. Stand out songs include `P.O.S.', `Serpent Boy', `Darky', and `IFO'. If there's a problem with the album it's that some songs drag and occasionally sound a bit `cut & paste'. But it has a pretty good raw sound and sometimes that unfocused air lends itself for the better; you get the impression these are young boisterous chaps and must be a hoot to watch live! (Which they are.) In summary, a really tight-knit unit offering something unique, energetic and attitude-soaked. Recommended!

Arrived safely and played fine.......2005-09-02

The CD was shipped a little slower that the others I had ordered, but since this is a individual selling this and not a buisness I can understand. The product was as promised and played flawlessly. Thanks!

Great!.......2004-04-27

The first full-length album from 6-piece rap-metal band (hed) p.e. is a great effort. Though what they bring to the table is nothing new, what they do, they do very well. Frontman M.C.U.D. is a notch above all the other nu-metal frontman with his energy, slick rapping, vocals and lyrics that explore planetary evolution, religion, the paranormal, sex, and racism while still being quite amusing. Drummer B.C. is an excellent drummer that doesn't rely on the DJ to make all the beats for him (not on this album, anyway), while DJ product provides some cool scratches and samples throughout. Bassist Mawk makes some funky rhythms in back and guitarist duo Wessyle and Chizad provide the heaviness this album needs and work best together here. This CD contains elements of Hip-Hop, metal, punk, reggae, and even some tribal. If you're not completely sick of rap-metal then this is some good stuff that should keep you banging your head for a while.

Ultimately the best ever put out by (hed).......2003-04-11

When it came out it was so unique and just mind blowing. I still listen to it often. It is probably my most favorite cd of all. If I had to leave all but one behind, this would be the keeper. Although more recent releases from them have disappointed me tremendously. If only they would have stuck with whats on this cd and not break out into "new" direction. Hate to say it but its almost as if they are selling out to a more pop crowd now. I wish they'd stick with the hardcore G punk. This is a must own revolutionary to the industry cd.

I would only say buy this album if you have nothing from Hed PE. Otherwise just buy the "Broke" album and the "Black Out" album, most of these songs are off those two CD's!

Happy Selecting!

B Davis Old No. 7 Brand.......2006-07-18

What kind of review is this B Davis? Do you know anything about record labels and the industry? I guess not. Hed Pe wasnt even with this label when it was released. Hed left this label on bad terms and they were suppose to do another album on this label. Why do you think this ablum was released on the same day as their new album? The label wanted to get under their skin. A contract is a concract to record labels. They can care less about the bands. They just make sure that the bands make them money. Did I buy this album, hell no!!! Hed had nothing to do with it. Your right that this album is stupid and looks bad. I'm just saying you should know the facts before you criticize this great band. Peace Out

Um, did I miss something?!?.......2006-07-13

I don't get it ... (hed) pe seems to have built their career on not caring what anyone thinks and saying f*** you to the establishment ... and then they release a "Best of" disc?!?! What?

The only reason why I gave it 2 stars is because the tunes are great. The concept of a "Best of" disc kills it, though.

I've been a fan of (hed) pe since their first disc and have seen them a few times in clubs and I just don't get this. One other reviewer said something about this feeling like the record label milking the band ... totally agree. And if thst's the case, why would the band let the label do that?

There seems to be fewer and fewer bands out there that truly do whatever they want without regard to what anyone else thinks and (hed)pe used to be one of them.

**cough** sell out **cough**

Where did this come from?.......2006-07-08

Good question, I have no idea... most "Greatest Hits" come from bands anyone could name... (Hed) doesn't fall in there. The album is "alright" a must have for (Hed) fans, but most of us had these songs from the other albums...nothing was new. In general it helps you not have to change cd's... if you don't know them it is a great way to get a taste without having to buy all the cd's!

There's something genuinely interesting about (hed) Planet Earth. Rather than simply singing about being different, they actually attempt to break from convention. That spirit is what makes Blackout a fascinating album. Though nearly all the 14 tracks kick off into a metal frenzy at some point, they're wildly varied in their pace and feel. "Crazy Life," begins with sinister Wu-Tang keyboards, then rips into a raucous chorus, before a hard-hitting rap about sex on the road leads to a screaming rock crescendo. "Flesh and Bone" features vocalist Jahred conjuring lost souls at midnight crossroads, while the shuffling "Other Side" is cushioned by a soft 1970s haze. Elsewhere pop, soul, reggae, and folk slip into the mix, making the band's histrionic outbursts all the more effective. Jahred's lyrics, too, are above the norm, if a bit too self-focused. --Dominic Wills

It's not BROKE, but you can buy this one!.......2006-03-10

While not as impressive as their breakout 'Broke' (no not their debut, but the CD that got them noticed) 'Blackout' is still a really good album. The opener gets you right into the CD with Jahreds ranting "Suck it up" but it's songs like 'DANGEROUS' and 'ONLY ONE' that really get the party started, and the rap oriented 'CRAZY LIFE' that show you their versatility. My favorite track here is 'OTHER SIDE' which is just that, the other side to this band. The song is melodic and cushioned with that 70's rock vibe, but it works on SO many levels. 'CARNIVALE' is probably the most standoutish song here, with the circus music in the backdrop and the eerie vocals it just kicks major @$$ as serves as a unique venture into uncharted territory for the boys of the (hed)...'BLACKOUT' while being the single and the title track, is not my favorite choice and is somewhat dissapointing. 'HALF THE MAN' is great and 'FALLEN' is as well...'OCTOPUSSY' is ehhh and the closer 'REVELATIONS' while not terrible is nothing special and should have been swapped with 'CARNIVALE' which is truly their most unique song on the album and is usually where I turn off the album anyways...Great follow-up even if it's not as good as the predecesor.

once in a great while this album makes my cd changer........2005-06-03

I do like this band, but not as much as the other things i listen to(read my other reviews). This album is very quirky. I can only get hooked on the tracks Half the Man, and Carnivale. I think this band had a lot of potential. This album seems very unorganized in my opinion. I think they need a lyrical structure that is uniform and fits together. They can play (not really in my opinion as a killer musician), and they just need some solid ground. I only like to listen to this album once in a great while. Check it out. You be the Judge.

great album from an awesome band.......2004-10-06

hed pe has been one of my favorates after the song "get away" was featured on NASCAR Thunder 2003. The standout tracks are well, ummm, ALL OF EM. Hedpe is very consitent troughout the entire album. a pick up for nu-metal or metal fans.

Awesome.......2004-08-06

Originally I was not introduced to (hed) Planet Earth until I had gone to a concert with the bands: Saliva, Stereomud, Systematic, and (hed)PE and the concert was amazing it was the best concert I have ever been to and the music was so amazing that the next day I went out to buy these bands albums. As I went through the album I was like they played that and it was awesome, I guess there are different ways to listen to an album, great cd i recommend this cd to anyone who likes heavy rock

The best Rap/Metal band ever........2004-06-13

Its true, Hed Pe is the only band that can possibly remain as playful and rap going as they are while still containing heavy, headbanging qualities to their music. This album in honest opinion isnt as great as Broke, their best album by far, but it definately is as close to perfection as it can get.
Suck it Up 10/10 - One of Hed's best songs to date. And its a perfect opener to.
Bury Me 8/10 - Great, but nothing that we havent seen before.
Dangerous 8.5/10 - Another great Hed Pe song that remains true to their sound.
Blackout 9/10 - With a very catchy chorus, this song becomes a party hit within seconds.
Get away 7.5/10 - The first melodic music on the album but still a good song.
Crazy Life 8/10 - This to is great for parties, and really easy to sing along to.
Half the man 9/10 - Great melodic song.
Only One 10/10 - Perhaps the best headbanging song on the album.
Other Side 10/10 - Im in love with this tune. Its so suttle yet so powerful.
Flesh and Bone 9.5/10 - A great headbanging song as well.
Octopussy 10/10 - Heavy. If only they had turned this into a real song.
Carnivale 9/10 - You notice this song instantly with its circus like music at the start.
Fallen 10/10 - Great Hed Pe.
Revalations 9.5/10 - Good song to end off on, though i feel it could have been ever better.
BUY THIS CD, along with BROKE!

Aaron's vocals sounded just like he was singing at a close family members funeral. He felt everything! My husband and I are using this track for our funerals, along with the track right after.

The Nevilles defy description... they move from r&b to funk to
reggaeto rock without missing a beat....for fans, this is a must have, as it captures their live performances extremely well.....If you have a chance, go see them live....

A live album that rocks.......2001-06-30

This is an excellent live album from 1994 that showcases each of the brothers' talents. As well as the other band members. A lot of the songs are over 5 and 6 minutes long which leaves some room for some great jamming. This album is a must for any fan, it will make you wish that you could see them live, if you haven't already. "Her African Eyes" is a great instrumental by Charles which showcases his sax playing....really wonderful.

Grooves Hard.......1999-12-06

I'm a fan of funk and R&B, and this CD is one of my favorites. The drums and percussion are especially inspiring, and there is a nice mix of slow and fast tunes, both as straight up and ballads.

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!
