If you crave music to free your body from the prison of your mind, plug this set from soca outfit Krosfyah into your CD player. But this is no mindless disco sound. The band is extremely popular throughout the Caribbean, where it tours incessantly (as well as in the States and Europe), in part because Krosfyah hail not from Trinidad but from Barbados and sometimes record in Jamaica, all of which adds variety to their tropical spice. Another reason Krosfyah stand out is that their rolling soca beats are not studio manufactured but crafted by hand by a rhythm section that includes bass, steel pan, trap drums, and congas. The album is packed with profoundly erotic tunes like "Oil Pumping," unabashedly dedicated to packing the dance floor with sweating bodies by urging "hotty hotty gals" to wind their waistlines and "jump in the air." The group's fount of racy double entendres seems downright inexhaustible as lead vocalists Edwin Yearwood and Anthony Bailey trade calls to action with their background brothers and sisters' honeyed responses. --Elena Oumano

Great compilation - and that's just the first half........2005-09-14

I first got this on cassette in the summer of '94 and listened to it every day, drawn by its thematic range and compositional depth. And that was just side-one.

Elfman pioneered the sound that drives today's movie adaptations of comic-books and darker-themed children's stories. Side-One kicks things off with a rollicking, hyper-cartoonish theme from the first Pee-Wee movie - the one where Pee-Wee searches for his beloved bike. Elfman's theme contains layers of different rides - on tightropes, highways, in the middle of a NASCAR rally - which rudely yet melodically crash into each other.

The Batman entry actually contains several pieces - the opening credits, the extended sequence in the cathedral and the climax - which show Batman's darkened extreme at its "Frank Miller" best. (Dir. Tim Burton couldn't sustain the mood in the next sequel, and the franchise took a turn towards the camp of the TV series with the next 2 movies.)

The theme for "Dick Tracy" is perhaps the most romantic on this disc, a quality that surpasses the theme's comic-book origins, but ends on an ironic note that's pure Elfman.

"Beetlejuice" (opening & closing credits) gives Elfman's childish ID a chance to stretch its legs, or in this case, slam-dance.

"Nightbreed" is an enigma wrapped in a dark mystery, and that's just Elfman's score. Elfman's work on this movie is as good as the movie wasn't, having a more powerful narrative than the script - easily the best track on the entire disc, one likely to exceed the movie in its dose of chills.

"Darkman" doesn't quite rise to the occasion, though the score may be hobbled by the movie itself, which seldom surpassed one of the many "Batman" clones of the early 1990's. "Darkman" (the movie, I mean) excelled as a parody of many comicbook staples (the wronged hero, the relentless villain, the scientific breakthrough with just one flaw), but not enough to escape being largely anonymous. Within those constraints, it's still a moving if scary piece.

When is Elfman not like Elfman? When he was in the mid-late `80's and scored "Back to School" (A Rodney Dangerfield vehicle) and "Midnight Run". Horns in "School" bring it closer to Elfman's over-the-top style, while "Run" sounds like a love-theme for the run-down, out-of-the-way parts of America that seldom appear in Elfman-movies. "Run" is a fun score for a fun movie - it's nothing like Elfman's previous work but it perfectly captures the on-the-road-without-a-map craziness of the movie.

To this day, I don't know why I never ventured to Side-two, but it's irrelevant. Even half this disc is worth it

The best of Elfman!!!.......2005-09-05

I was obsessed about getting this CD right from when I heard about it. I found it at the library and was so excited about it, and it didn't let me down. In fact, it was a lot better than I expected. It's a fun and creepy (strange mix, but it really works!) collection of Danny Elfman's film and television soundtracks. The first track, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, is probably my favorite. Also, I really like Batman and Wisdom. Batman is creepy and dark, and Wisdom is just weird, in the best possible way.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes film music, or everyone who is even the tiniest bit an Elfman fan. It's amazing!

Great Collection, A LIttle Too Eclectic.......2003-08-19

You should be able to tell from the movies and TV shows listed here whether or not you'd be interested in this collection. It's a little too eclectic for my tastes (hence only 4 stars) but better than volume 2. I think thatthe miscellaneous collected ites here along with the previously unreleased stuff should make this worth buying. Especially if you're a fan of Elfman's movie soundtrack work.

What Great Music.......2003-05-11

I fell in love with the music of Danny Elfman when Beetlejuice came out. There was something different about the music that he made. When Edward Scissorhands, and then Nightmare Before Christmas - I knew this man was a musical master. Its the verbal form of surrealism.

super.......2003-04-17

What a great CD. Danny's music is so original and inventive. this CD contains his pre 90's quirky, gothic music. it's all very well written and beautifully orchestrated. batman and darkman contain some really excellent long, dark, gothic cues that really take u away from reality. in my opinion no one, apart from howard shore, is as inventive and original as danny in the world of filmmusic. he far surpasses the repetitive works of williams or horner. buy this, and volume two, and keep supporting one of the greatest film composers of all time.ohh...and buy fellowship of the ring and two towers by howard shore....amazing work!

A Zone of Their Own.......2000-01-16

I first heard this album at a natural food restaurant - I couldn't wait to finish the meal and buy the album!

Zone unknown is an extraordinary musical experience, akin to an evolving acoustic collage. It has music that I can listen to when I want to think, when I want to dance, and even when I want to bribe the kids to go to bed.

I don't yet know if Gabrielle Roth and the Mirrors other offerings are as outstanding, but my bet is that few people will be disappointed with this album. It's an easy winner!

Catchy lyrics, strong vocals mark this debut CD.......2007-04-24

Here is a band from Sherman Oaks, California that has stirred up interest in several countries including the UK, Poland and France. When you listen to the CD you can't help but "get into the groove" of the music, while at the same time your ear grabs on to the catchy lyrics, not an everyday occurrence in modern day blues. This CD takes you through a musical journey of 14 songs (12 originals). It's 53 minutes of a variety of blues that is playable over and over again. What a great debut CD!

I played wid da BOOOT for many years, in the early "80's, and this man will give you one 'onest product, for your perooooooosaal. support the KING, and help the U.S. economy in the same stroke. this man lived almost exclusively on cheap rose' and packaged popcorn for a long while, then of late, i heard he burned down his crib!!
Is this rock 'n roll, or not! it will come thru his music, and give you a glimpse of another life you would like to see, thoooooo really never want to be part of.

The Lovemaster takeover Detroit!.......2004-02-17

With the recent insurgence of Detroit music into the mainstream, it is with great pleasure that I am able to introduce on of Detroits finest. For those who are unaware, The Lovemasters are fronted by Bob Mulrooney formerly of the great Detroit punk band the Ramrods. He is also known by the name Bootsey X. This album is amazing. Bob wails like Iggy Pop while James Brown controls him from the waist down.
I highly recomend checking this one out!
