Amazon.com

If Hollywood's marriage with pop music is too often a marketing-driven shotgun affair, there remain musicians whose artistry can't help but elevate whatever film project they're associated with. This 19-track compendium underscores that notion, gathering a career-spanning collection of the Irish rock-R&B legend's contributions to an eclectic body of films that stretches from Pope of Greenwich Village's effusive early solo hit "Jackie Wilson Said" to the unlikely live collaboration with Roger Waters on "Comfortably Numb" that seasons Martin Scorsese's Oscar-nominated The Departed. The collection serves as a concise primer to the high points of Van Morrison's mercurial career, from the gritty career-breakout hits ("Gloria," "Baby Please Don't Go") of his British Invasion band Them through such early solo touchstones as "Wild Night," "Brown Eyed Girl," "Domino," and the collection's fine, previously unreleased live version of "Moondance" from An American Werewolf in London. But, as tracks like "Wonderful Remark," "Bright Side of the Road," "Someone Like You," and his Chieftains collaboration "Irish Heartbeat" ably argue, it's also an invitation to explore less heralded, if equally seductive, corners of the singer's rich oeuvre. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars Not my favorite.......2007-07-23

I am a huge Van Morrison fan, and really like most the songs on this CD, but they are not my favorite version of the songs. A lot of the songs are live, and I expected the studio versions.

4 out of 5 stars Great CD...Van's The Man.......2007-07-19

This is a great CD if you like Van Morrison...Kind of like a greatest hits album really from the various stages of Van's Career....Did not realize how many different movie soundtracks Van has appeared on..My only issue was that the studio version of Into The Mystic is not on here..they used the live version which does not have the same impact on you...still a recommended CD

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Collection.......2007-07-13

Just got this in and it's a great collection. It pulls together some very famous Van performances (like Caravan from the Last Waltz) and mixes it up with his best studio efforts. It's great.

4 out of 5 stars Van the Man at the Movies.......2007-07-10

As Michael Heatley notes in the excellent accompanying booklet, when Van came in at The Last Waltz, it kicked that last concert of The Band up a notch, and the ensuing energy never came back down. He has that effect and, I think, in general, helped the films his music accompanied, rather than the other way around. This compilation ranges from "Gloria" with Van's early band, Them, to a duet with Roger Waters on Pink Floyd's The Wall of "Comfortably Numb". The question is, however, how well does it hold up for general airtime in the CD player?

Quite well. If you already have The Best of Van Vols one and two CDs, you already have most of the best songs this disc leaves off. Heatley makes the choice of soundtrack songs for the films seem so much a matter of director's decision, that rather than lionizing them for what they did include, you wonder why they left off your favorites. Where's "Full Force Gale"? "When Will I Ever Learn (to Live in God)"? "And It Stoned Me"? One could go on and on. Change of tactic, therefore, to celebrate what is included rather than decry what is not.

This disc ranges over what might be considered the various Van periods, which are distinctive musically. Hungry For Your Love" comes from what Heatley calls the "often overlooked" Wavelength album, which hails from the era of horns and gospel vocal back-ups. Astral Weeks, yes, but I think Wavelength is one of Van's best albums ever. Some songs exist in alt/ live versions here, to good effect, as with the best known classics, "Domino", "Caravan". "Moondance" and "Into the Mystic". The studio versions are easily available but most fans will enjoy hearing the new takes. Van handles them confidently, and drops into his effortless live groove, slurring the words of "Into the Mystic" which, like these other songs, can survive any number of interpretations. "Bright Side of the Road" comes from another Wavelength era overlooked album, Into the Music, which unveiled the amazing "Full Force Gale", the latter conspicuous by its absence. '90s Van appears with the standout "Real Real Gone" and "Days Like These". Two songs will already be familiar to non- van fans, having been hits for John Cougar Mellencamp and Rod Stewart.

As I write, Van still hasn't gotten the Nobel Prize, although he's done more to bring enjoyment and harmony than almost anyone on the planet, with the possible exception of Mother Teresa, who already did get it, so it's Van's turn. But until that oversight is addressed, at least there's this compilation which shows he's not only raised the bar for music but also significantly improved the movies.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely awesome album.......2007-07-03

A great Van Morrison album for someone who really loves Van Morrison and his legendary sound. It's in my CD player all the time.

Amazon.com

Concept discs tend to go one of two ways--they dance around a theme, causing listeners to draw their own conclusions about how well the album hangs together, or they come on strong. Sax man Dave Koz's At the Movies floats mellifluously into the second category. From the moment Judy Garland's voice comes keening through the crackle of "Over the Rainbow," we're transported directly into the cinema alongside Koz and a handful of high-wattage friends. Only in Koz's theater, the music is at times more heart-tuggingly pretty than we remember. "Moon River," from Breakfast at Tiffany's meanders gracefully before Barry Manilow surfaces to lend a languid, signature-smooth vocal. "The Shadow of Your Smile" from The Sandpiper sends ripples of bittersweetness down the spine straight through the soul. In a surprising standout track, India.Arie snakes her vocal to Tootsie's "It Might Be You" around Koz's sax so winningly you half-wish she had sung the original. Koz himself is no slouch here, either: six instrumentals belong to him exclusively, some so lush it seems a shame do-overs aren't on Oscar's radar. --Tammy La Gorce

5 out of 5 stars Imaginative Coupling.......2007-07-27

The artists with whom Dave Koz chose to collaborate made this a 5 stars, plus album.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Movie Music at Its Best..........2007-07-07

Dave Koz has a real winner with this album of revisited movie music.
A great collection songs and done so well with super talented vocal artists.
If you're a movie fan, you gotta have this one.

Hope he'll do another with more movie themes; are you reading this Dave??

4 out of 5 stars Growth and Change with At the Movies.......2007-07-06

At the Movies is a way of Dave expressing himself along with stretching and growing as a person and a fabulous musician. Ever since he came out he's been happy to be accepted for himself and has become more creative and daring. I believe At the Movies is an example of an artist who isn't happy just with the same ole, same ole.

I can't say this album is my favorite and I find I hardly ever listen to it even though the songs are incredibly beautiful. Everything Dave ever does elicits a different mood or touches one's heart or soul.

I would have to say my favorite songs would be The Pink Panther, Somewhere with Anita Baker singing as only she can, and Johnny Mathis sings The Shadow of Your Smile so that you think you're actually there with him. Eventually I'm sure I'll find others I like as well except for Over the Rainbow. I truly hate that song, but Dave plays it so well I can listen to it. I think the lead ins from the old songs add to the authenticity of the songs.

Hopefully next time Dave will give us smooth jazz people another jazzy album. I'm guessing he'll most likely surprise us again!


































































































































































































































































































































































































































































5 out of 5 stars Dave Koz at The Movies.......2007-07-05

Dave Koz at The Movies is an enjoyable C.D. to listen to if you are a jazz fan as I have been since the late 1950s. Now that my favorite sax player, Gerry Mulligan, has passed on to that "jazz club in the sky" I have elected Dave Koz as his replacement. His sounds are clear, and he blows a sax with what seems no effort at all based on having seen him on T.V. when the artists on this C.D. performed. I would recommend this with a "High-5."
Bob of Gainesville, Virginia

5 out of 5 stars Great Memories.......2007-07-04

5 out of 5 stars At The Movies by Andre Rieu.......2007-05-20

Andre Rieu brings a warmth and pop-like aire to his music.Here he plays popular music with a classical orchestra and adds his special ingredients to it ie:humor (musical jokes for the serious listener),fun,light-heartedness.It's a band of very talented musicians having alot of fun as is evident in the playing and especially if you've seen them in concert.I can "hear" the smiles on their not serious faces by their style of playing...less staccato and with more feeling.Andre and company swing and dance through every track climaxing on Ravel's Bolero from the movie "10".

4 out of 5 stars very beautiful.......2007-01-09

This cd is very beautiful. It captures the songs wonderfully. The orchestra does a fine job.

5 out of 5 stars Refreshing Music.......2006-11-03

Andre Rieu presents wonderful songs in a very inspirational way. They are to be enjoyed as "dinner music" or just for times when the TV is off and you need some "quiet time". It is a great grouping of melodies.

5 out of 5 stars from texas--AND FROM A MUSIC LOVER.......2006-08-30

ANDRE RIEU TAKES US ON A WONDERFUL TRIP BACK IN TIME TO THE MOVIES YOU CAN=T FORGET AND THE MUSIC THAT MADE THEM CLASSICS. DO BUY IT. IT IS A TREASURE...

4 out of 5 stars Andre Rieu - Music for the masses.......2006-08-10

Sometimes you just want enjoyable music as a backdrop to the job at hand. I turn to Andre to get me through these events. Probably not a glowing endorsement, but if you know of Mr. Rieu's feelings about music, he would just smile and nod his head. This is music to just enjoy for the sake of music - and that is a good thing.

4 out of 5 stars A Fun Collection.......2007-06-20

Well, I can't say that this collection holds any hidden secrets because it does not. In fact, if you are a die-hard Elvis fan, you probably carry much of the content of this set with you in the car. (Especially on disc one.) I think most of the "fun" tracks are on disc two.

My favorites are "Little Egypt," "Clambake", "Shake That Tambourine," and most notibly, "Long Legged Girl With The Short Dress On." Don't get me wrong, I like many of the songs. What is nice about this collection is that you get a neat variety packaged in one easy to carry set.

I will have to agree with the person who was complaining about the so-called REMASTERING. Case in point; "Long Legged Girl" is one of my favorite Elvis songs of all time. So much so that I recorded my own version in my home studio. I based my recording on an original copy of the 45 record. That version is SMOKIN' HOT! In the beginning of the song, the electric guitar jumps out of the speakers and smacks you right in the face! In this collection "Long Legged Girl" sounds very "tepid" to say the least. The guitars are held back, you can barely hear the horn section, and the dynamic levels are the same through the entire song.

I was very inclined to rate this as a three star collection rather than a four. I changed my mind at the last second basically because of the variety of tracks included in the set.

3 out of 5 stars Retreads...are retreads.......2007-06-16

This is a nice, fun collection for new fans, or for those who did not buy any number of similiar sets. There's nothing for the historian, and in fact, there were several spots where something special could have been delivered: like the first appearance of the movie version of Tickle Me's "I Feel That I've Known You Forever" the movie versions of Kissin' Cousins' "Catchin' On Fast"; of ...World's Fair's "Happy Endings"; of Speedway's "Your Time Hasn't Come Back, Baby".
Perhaps some more imagination could also have been applied to "Do The Clam", a high energy tune featuring Boots Randolph. The pressing with the curious drop-out in sound is used, but that's one thing: this track should been pressed in mono, with the background voices muted and the syncopated hand-claps O-U-T. Similarly, "Long Legged Girl..." is the original album version, with the rhythm section in the left-field grandstand. Terrible.
Presumptive mistakes: the alternate take of the themesong from "Follow That Dream", as great as it is, and the original of "King of The Whole Wide World" without the long sax solo ending. Add the version of "I'm Yours" *not* used in Tickle Me - the 1962 album track with the narration.
The title song from "Clambake" is here in all it's ignoble glory, more rockin' that one might recall, but still an embarrassment. That movie actually had some entertaining tunes - they shoulda used "The Girl I Never Loved" or "A House That Has Everything".
The best sound here is from the '50s, particularly "Hard Headed Woman": all the instruments have great presence, especially that of Mr. Scotty Moore. Those who have determined he's really just an inspired *stylist* should check this one out - among others here: "Frankfurt Special" has alot of Sun Records ambience thanks to him, and "Rock-A Hula Baby" is handled perfectly. A light and bright, but insistent complement to a fun soundtrack tune.
[Superb notes by Michael Hill; cool cover shot of Elvis, circa. '66].

4 out of 5 stars His BEST collection of movie songs!.......2007-06-12

I have stopped trying to make sense out of BMG's marketing strategy for Elvis' impressive catalog of music, otherwise I would be driving myself crazy wondering why they released this 2 CD set of Elvis movie songs less than a year after releasing a single CD of Elvis movie songs with many of the same songs!?! Not being a record company executive, I guess I will never understand the logic behind that.

Regardless, this is an excellent collection of Elvis movie songs and is probably the best one currently available. It contains many songs that were hits; in fact it includes far more hits than most other artists' greatest hits collections! It includes three songs that went all the way to number 1 on the Billboard singles chart (Love Me Tender, Jailhouse Rock, and Hard Headed Woman), two other songs that just missed hitting the top spot peaking at number 2 (Can't Help Falling in Love and Return to Sender) and the top 10 single Bossa Nova Baby. 16 other songs made the Top 40 and 6 more made the Top 100 chart. It only includes a few songs that probably made Elvis wince when he recorded them (while the songs Elvis was given for his movie soundtracks were not always the best, his performances were).

The first CD is the strongest, but the second CD has some highlights. It includes Elvis' underappreciated country-rock classic Clean Up Your Own Back Yard plus the original versions of Little Less Conversation and Rubberneckin', which were remixed and became hits a few years ago. All-in-all this is a very strong collection and highly recommended if you do not already own most of these songs on one of the numerous other collections of Elvis movie songs.

Admittedly I'm a big Sting fan but this CD exceeded my expectations. His original compositions are great and his covers, particularly Michel LeGrand's Windmills of Your Mind (a favorite song) bring something absolutely unique to each song. A lot of music you can't get on any other Sting CD.

5 out of 5 stars Worth Every Cent.......2007-02-17

Yes, it's expensive, but if you're a Sting fan, find a way to buy this. Today. Now.

It's a small price to pay for such a comprehensive selection which includes many of what I consider his best recordings. The fact that there's an overwhelming number of jazz pieces only adds to the overall value. Sting excels at this genre, but has kept them out of his commercial releases, though I have no idea why.

A personal favourite -- the sublime Moonlight from the soundtrack to "Sabrina" -- makes a welcome appearance here, together with other noteworthy gems like The Windmills Of Your Mind ( sensual ), Until... ( lovely ), My One And Only Love ( gorgeous ) and It's Probably Me ( super cool ).

18 terrific tracks, one rare collection, superb sound quality. You couldn't possibly ask for anything more.

5 out of 5 stars The Sting you may not know.......2007-01-10

A wonderful collection of recordings by Sting done for movies. His interpretation of My One And Only Love is one of my favorite versions of this song. There are many well done Jazz standards and this is as close as one can get to a Jazz standards album that Sting available now.

5 out of 5 stars My Funny Valentine..........2006-12-19

This is an expensive update of the import that came out and I bought a few years ago. The additions are amazing especially My Funny Valentine, which is all you'd expect it to be: a quiet, thoughtful reading by Sting closely mic'd and accompanied by an upright bass and soft piano arrangement. (Think 'Moonlight.') 'Until' reminded me of the b-side 'This was never meant to be.' 'My Funny Friend and me' is nice and the Irish flavored 'the Mighty' sounds like it could've been on the Mercury Falling CD. However; you DO get the superior 'Windmills of your mind.' which was originally a Brand New Day b-side, (which probably adds to the price tag) AND you get the original 'Fragile' from 'Nothing Like the Sun.' Overall, these songs are exchanged for 'De Doo Doo Doo', 'I burn for you', and 'Need your love so bad.' Which is all to the good--however, why the disc ends with the loud Demolition Man remix is anyone's guess.

5 out of 5 stars Expensive? Define expensive........2006-07-22

18 tracks for 50 bucks seems extravagant? Not here. Not at all. Under ordinary circumstances I'd agree that 50 bucks can go a long way elsewhere say on iTunes but you HAVE to have this cd if you have any love for music. Figure this into the equation: Where do you get a perfect musical combination of hip and cool but without hype and yet still acquire the epitome of sophisticated? Where do you find such absolute impact as Sting's experience and vocal outgrowth? He reaches and it works - magnificently. Get lost in these 18 tracks and thank me later.

The extraordinary orchestrations and his voice make it clear why many of these songs were focal pieces for movie scores. I love this cd. I treasure it in fact. If you're on the fence - choose "yes." *whispering* sometimes you can find it much cheaper on eBay.

5 out of 5 stars 9.......2006-09-23

"Nine" the brilliant Broadway musical directed by the brilliant Tommy Tune and starring the brilliant Raul Julia and with a brilliant scenic design of glaring white tile including the stage floor, and a brilliant costume design, except for the "Folies Bergere" number, every one was dressed in black, and a brilliant casting coup- 1 man surrounded by 21 women-and a couple of handfuls of brilliant musical numbers and by now you get the picture, the show was brilliant but it was its' brilliance that sabotaged the show and to boot the show was stubbornly not audience-friendly.

This led to moments of awe-inspiring highs surrounded by moments of boredom.

The first high comes about 15 minutes into the show by the entrance of flame-haired Anita Morris. Dressed head to toe in a lacy,skin-tight,see-through outfit that doesn't even try to hide her ample attributes-and she is making a phone call to her lover draped over a white tiled cube(bed) and she slithers, slides, stretches in positions not humanly possible, purring seductively to her boyfriend and having a real good time with herself in what is possibly the hottest and most erotic moment
I have ever witnessed on a Broadway stage and threatened to blister and melt the very tile she played on. Ironically the number was "A Call From the Vatican".

Another high moment came with Liliane Montevecchi as Guidos'(Julia) producer who bemoans the gloom of modern cinema and longs for the days of song, dance and color,,"Folies Bergere"

A pivotal moment in Guidos' life is when at the age of 9,he and a couple of his classmates visit a notorious whore who teaches the young boys how to "Be Italian" This incident so shames Guidos' mother she sends him away to a draconian Catholic school run by cruel nuns who happily beat the devil out of their students. This leads to the beautiful Gregorian Chant-like "The Bells of St Sebastian".

Guido begins his new film of Casanova "The Grand Canal" which is a 15 minute mini-opera.

I have to mention Karen Akers who plays Guidos' wife and I adore her voice which to me sounds like a mix of honey and melted caramels-just listen to her long ago section of "My Husband Makes Movies" and "Be On Your Own".

Raul Julia also has effective numbers "Guidos Song" "Only With You" and he sings the afore-mentioned spine-shivery "Bell of St Sebastian" and he duets with his 9-year old self on the finale "Nine" which ends the show on an effectivly quiet moment.

There are other fine moments to be found "Unusual Way" with Shelly Burch comes to mind.

This CD is a wonderful reminder of just how great a Broadway musical can be and although I enjoyed the entire show warts and all, I only wish the show had been more accessable to a wider audience so everyone could have witnessed the brilliance I had.

5 out of 5 stars "Nine" is spectacular!.......2006-07-24

Based on Fellini's autobiographical film, "8 1\2", "Nine" opened in 1982 with a score by Maury Yeston and a book by Arthur Kopit. It starred Raul Julia, Karen Akers, Anita Morris, Liliane Montevecchi among others. Its direction was by Tommy Tune. All of these individuals (oh yes, Jonathan Tunick, the orchestrator) are responsible for this spectacular original cast album of the spectacular musical, "Nine.
Mr. Yeston has supplied as score that is filled with memorable songs that are tuneful and musically interesting. His lyrics are witty and original. Every song is outstanding. I must single out Ms. Akers' wonderful torch songs, "My Husband Makes Movies" and "Be On Your Own" as being the bests of the score. Ms. Akers performs them so well, which makes them even more enjoyable. I also cannot forget the exceptional "Folies Bergeres" sequence featuing Ms. Montevecchi in her element.
However, Mr. Julia and the other cast memembers give absolutely wonderful performances as well.
This is a nearly complete recording at something like 70 minutes. ("Nine" is not two and a half hours long for those of you who began to question the above statement.) As a bonus, it features Mr. Yeston performing some of his great songs.

5 out of 5 stars ...Their sound can last a hundred years..........2006-04-22

I have to admit that when I first listened to this CD I was not favorably impressed. None of the songs captured me instantly and many seemed rather jarring and confusing, particularly as I was not acquainted with the show and no synopis is included. I put it away only to recently pick it up with the guilty feeling that I had not given it any true consideration. This proved to be very true. After forcing myself to listen to it several times, I had to force myself to stop listening! There is something truly magical and mysterious about this show, a quality which sings through the stirring, passionate, indelibly European music and the moving, often bitingly clever and even provocative lyrics. Maury Yeston certainly knew what he was doing. He has created something which is very different from much of the broadway fare that came before it and was to follow it, something which is truly unique, but in such a subtle, elusive way that it is impossible to pinpoint wherein this individuality lies. This is certainly not one of the greatest musicals of all time. It is flawed; there is a disjointed quality to the songs some of which are decidely weaker than others. It is simply distintive.
This is must in great part be attributed to the performances. The cast of 'Nine' is superb and deserves to be remembered as it is. As Guido Contini, Raul Julia gives a performance which perfectly captures the internal struggles and outward charm of this character. While his singing does not match up to his acting,(his voice is rather grating, and occasionally he does things to the high notes that I would prefer not to discuss) he makes an admirable effort in each song and succeeds in most. He nails 'Guido's Song' in which the character's state of mind is so brilliantly outlined and has just the right bravado for 'The Grand Canal.'Nobody, even the worst singer in the world, could ruin the sweetly simple and utterly lovely 'Only With You', though I do not feel that he does justice to 'The Bells of St Sebastian' which is one of my favorite songs; I find the mix of styles and rythms incredably stirring.
It is the women who surround Julia who are responsible for the life and the fantasy that is so palpable on this recording. The women's overture is one of those inspired strokes of genius which serve to bring an entirely new sound to Broadway. As a whole they provide excellent support in 'The Grand Canal' and in the rollicking 'The Germans at the Spa' which is hysterical but also performs the task for which it was written, namely to create atmosphere, much better than many similar songs in other shows. Camille Saviola provides excellent vocals as mama Maddelena. As Yeston comments in the liner notes, hers is only one of many standout performances. This musical is wonderful in its ability to make stars of each of its soloists, each is brilliantly showcased in the respective song/s. Karen Akers(Luisa) may not have the strongest voice, but as another reviewer commented she has a worldly weariness which perfectly suits her character. Her two songs 'My Husband makes Movies'and 'Be on Your Own' are two of the most moving moments in 'Nine', the former raises so many questions about life and love while the latter is almost heartbreaking in its desparation..."go off and live your petty fictions full of blatant contradictions you can't see..." Anita Morris(Carla) does not have what could be described as an attractive voice, but she has just the right brash, steamy powerful belt for 'A Call from the Vatican'. Taina Elg(Guido's mother) and Shelly Burch(Claudia) both provide sweetly pretty renditions of 'Nine' and 'Unusual Way' respectively while Kathi Moss' voice soars in the wonderfully exciting 'Be Italian'. One of the weaker moments is the unconvincing 'Getting Tall'; Cameron Johann does not have the ability or is simply too young to save this song. But all this would still not be worthy of five stars, it is the true showstopper, the glorious 'Follies Bergeres', which catapults this show to the hights of my regard. Brilliantly concieved, it is brilliantly executed here by Julia and Stephanie Cotsirilos but particularly by the extraordinary Liliane Montevecchi. Never was there a performance which was more worthy of a Tony. She soars through this song both as an actress and a singer...and almost evokes Edith Piaf in some of those dizzying climaxes...I could go on raving for some time longer but this review has already become ridiculously long. The one true downside of this recording are Yeston's demo recordings of some of the songs which are quite simply ghastly. Talk about composers butchering their own material! In spite of this I heartily reccomend that any fan of musicals add this to their collection, would I really write such a long, pompous review if I didnt feel it was worth it?

5 out of 5 stars Best Musical - 1982.......2005-06-29

The surprise winner of 1982's Best Musical Tony (beating the equally deserving "Dreamgirls) was "Nine", an intelligent production, with a beautiful score by Maury Yeston.

While arguments can be made about whether this original or the 2003 revival are better, I slightly prefer the revival, only because the orchestrations sound richer. The casts of both are terrific!

Best tracks include:

My Husband Makes Movies
A Call From The Vatican
Only With You
Folies Bergeres
The Bells Of St. Sebastian
Unusual Way
Simple
Be On Your Own
I Can't Make This Movie

Both versions are worthy purchases, but if you have to pick one, pick the revival (single disc, synopsis, lyrics).

Amazon.com

On this 1997 outing, the precocious pack of Broadway belters brings their stadium-size-and-still-growing pipes to the songs of the silver screen. Sometimes it works, mostly with classics like "Talk to the Animals" from Dr. Dolittle, "Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins, and "High Hopes" from A Hole in the Head. Other times, like the theme to Ghostbusters, the effect is more weird than winsome; picture Ray Parker Jr. singing Annie's "It's the Hard-Knock Life." Still, finding fault with these chirpy singing champs, harmonizing as they do with earnest sincerity and effortless sweetness, isn't easy, and anyone with a penchant for pint-size performers who pour every last ounce of their 80-or-so-pound frames into their craft will want to take this spin to the cinema. --Tammy La Gorce

I like this CD because I know a lot of these songs from movies, and kids are singing them. I drive my parents crazy wanting to play it over and over again. I think they know all the words by heart too. My favorite song is FAME! I got this CD as a present and now I have five other Broadway Kids CDs because I loved this so much!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD for any music fan!.......2003-05-08

My younger sister, in a dance recital, did the Broadway Kids version of "King of New York", and about a year later, her and I did the same song for our figure sjating show.
We love this CD.
My favorites are:
King of New York- from the "Newsies (one of my favorite movies)
Fame--- from "Fame"
Ghostbusters---from "Ghostbusters"
As well as others.
AWESOME CD!

5 out of 5 stars Both my daughter and I love this CD.......2002-03-22

"Don't Go Hollywoood On Us" alone makes this CD worth it's price. "King of New York" is a great song, so is the "Wizard of Oz" medley. A CD you won't be embarassed to have your kids listen to, and you might even listen to when your kids are NOT with you! Great for anyone looking for music to dance to for talent shows or dance schools. Wonderful, full orchestrations.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for any Broadway Fan!.......2000-06-30

This was an absolutly wounderful music selection.(and still is!) My favorites having to be: Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid and sung by Eden Riegel(an exceptionally talented girl.), Can You Feel the Love Tonight from the Lion King and sung by Michael Shulman(another talented performer!), Fame from Fame sung by Cassidy Ladden and Ariel Harris Osumenya (two talented girls), and my absolute favorite being You've got a Friend in Me from Toy Story sung by Amy Braverman and Travis Jordan Greisler(both with amazing vocal talents.) What I love about the B.K.'s is how original they are. A very positive group that gives you a positive feeling when you listen to their music. A MUST for any music fan!

5 out of 5 stars Musical Gem.......2005-12-03

A MARVELOUS collection is "Stanley Clarke at the Movies"!! One would not have to be familiar with any of the film titles on this compilation in order to hear and feel the emotion in every last musical arrangement!

The orchestral piece I most enjoy from "Stanley Clarke at the Movies" is "Lucky Again," from one of my top favorite films, POETIC JUSTICE. "Lucky Again" has a relaxing melody with a FANTASTIC finish!

5 out of 5 stars Just one song..........2003-02-03

Stanley Clarke is very much unheralded; just the track "Lisa" (Passenger 57) is worth double the album price. Magnificent!

5 out of 5 stars Have you ever..........2000-10-19

...closed your eyes and imagined you were floating on a cloud? If not, purchase this CD, put it in your stereo and get ready for a ride to heaven. Stanley is so awesome! This CD demonstrates that Stanley is deliberate, concise and very thorough in his expression of music as it relates to films. The fullness of each composition fills your heart, mind and soul and leaves you hopeful that some day, someone will understand you and communicate your thoughts in some type of creative way. What a wonderful piece!

Having listened to stanley for 28 years now, I never fail to get goose bumps down my neck, especially when hearing a new release for the first time. this album is no exception. I want to have this man's babies. He is the inspiration for my own bass playing career. Stanley, a genius amongst genius's.

Its muscular aura of international intrigue informed by smart characters, sharp writing, and a sleek cinematic sense, the episodes of the hit Alias often seem more like a chapters of a successful movie spy franchise than mere network television series. Key to achieving that masterful illusion is young composer Michael Giacchino, whose soundtracks range across a dizzying range of musical styles and dramatic undercurrents. This anthology of cues from the show's first season incorporates shrewd, techno-savvy club beats, sweeping orchestral sequences of pounding action, brooding suspense worthy of Bond, and inventive indigenous music of indeterminate nationality. Firmly grounded in rich Hollywood traditions, yet hip enough to keep an ear cocked to pulsing, contemporary styles, Giacchino's TV scores often outshine those of the pricier, big budget Hollywood boilerplate he's competing with. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Perfect soundtrack to a nearly perfect TV show.......2005-03-17

If Henry Mancini and Ferry Corsten collaborated on a TV soundtrack for a spy drama set in the 21st Century, the results couldn't be any better than Michael Giacchino's work on this CD. Giacchino can compose for an orchestra like the best of them, but he's also savvy enough to add a contemporary edge with multiple nods to electronica. Synth pads and drum loops are phased through various low-pass and comb filters on several selections here, resulting in a delicious, chewy-sounding percussive effect. Other reviewers have commented on this being a great exercise CD; I agree and would also add that this is a great CD for driving or browsing through glossy photo magazines.

My favorite pieces on the CD are "SD-6 Dance Party," "Red Hair is Better," and "Spanish Heist." I've no idea who the guitarist is on the latter two cuts, but he's quite good!

I recommend this first and foremost to anyone who fears that soundtracks are a dead medium; Giacchino's a challenging composer and takes some real risks. Alias fans will snatch this up (although it doesn't include any soundbites from the TV series), as will anyone willing to play both techno and retro lounge on their CD players. Completists may not be happy with this CD as none of the popular music heard in the show is reproduced here, nor is the torch song Jennifer Garner sang in one episode. But that's what future installments of Alias soundtrack CDs are for!

5 out of 5 stars Best TV Soundtrack.......2005-01-09

This is well worth your money for any Alias fan, and it's better than most movie scores.

5 out of 5 stars The Best soundtrack EVER from a TV series!.......2004-08-23

I think the title says it all, but it's true. I bought this CD knowing and loving the show and realizing just what the music adds to all of the highly enjoyable adrenaline rush scenes. This CD does not disappoint. I now exercise/kick box to it and if your pumped up by just watching the series, you'll really enjoy playing this CD in your car while driving....just try not to get a speeding ticket because the impulse to floor it will definately be there!!

5 out of 5 stars Pleasing in an addictive way!.......2003-06-04

I RARELY give 5 stars to any cd, but this one deserves it! Lousy with sensuality, the selected melodies will hold you in their sway long after the music has ended. The "Body Heat" theme is a haunter from "Born Free" composer John Barry.
Another stunner,"The Theme From Taxi Driver," recalls Bernard Herrmann's best work on "Vertigo." But all these compositions are memorable melodies. One interesting note, in the film version of "Calling You" from "Bagdad Cafe," the song is sung by a female vocalist. In this rendition, Bob Telson's ("The Gospel at Colonus") masterpiece is voiced by a man; suprisingly, it works.

5 out of 5 stars Body Heat:: Jazz at the Movies.......2002-06-05

Ordered this CD a month ago and was elated. Played it for a friend and was so impressed with the music i.e. so relaxing and puts you in the mood of expressing your thoughts to that special person that she wants to ordered one as well.

5 out of 5 stars UNBELIEVABLE.......2000-04-19

I accidently purchased this CD 8 years ago and I have to say it was one of the best mistakes I have ever made! An unbelievable recording. Each song is an elixir, drawing you into a most mellow mood. Break out some fine wine, get your sweetheart, lay back and enjoy. A remarkable CD

5 out of 5 stars Put champagne on ice and grab the one you love.......2000-03-31

This sensual music melts on the tongue. I put the CD player on continual play late at night and watch what happens. I was longing for the BODY HEAT soundtrack and this collection bridged the gap nicely until it came out recently. Not a bad track on the disc.

5 out of 5 stars Gin, smoke and sin.......1999-05-28

Some favorites on here include 'Body Heat', 'Farewell my Lovely', the theme from Taxi Driver (I can see Travis Bickle's eyes in the mirror every time this one plays) and 'Memories of Green', the theme from Blade Runner. Play this one often enough, you'll be willing to off a few replicants yourself. This is a great CD to play when you don't have to answer the phone, when you can relax. There's better jazz around out there, but you'll have to go looking for it. If you consider some of the 'classic' jazz albums as a great single malt scotch...this one is at least Chivas. An extrafine blend that satisfys without offending anyone. And there's something to be said for that.
