Sex and Lucia by Original Soundtrack/Alberto Iglesias (CD - 09/01/2004)
"Sex and Lucia" (09/01/2004) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, PalmOriginal score composed by Alberto Iglesias. The soundtrack to Julio Medem's critically acclaimed film Sex & Lucia features an original score by Alberto Iglesias and songs by Fangoria, Carlos Jean, and Mala Rodriguez. Iglesias' score takes a minimal approach, emphasizing ambient drones and brooding arrangements that emphasize the film's atmosphere of sensual longing. Pieces like "?Y Por Qu? Te Voy a Creer?," "Bajo la Isla," "Encuentro," and "El Deseo de la Sangre" take the score's eerie eroticism to an extreme, while orchestral passages such as "?Puedo Hablar Contigo?," "Fotos," and "Lucia" balance their lush, slightly retro arrangements with a whimsical poignancy. Overall, the score carries on the movie's haunted feel, but is surprisingly evocative and listenable outside of that context. The pop songs at the end of the soundtrack tend to break the spell cast by Iglesias' hypnotic score, but offer some delights in their own right: Fangoria's "Mr. Hyde Visita el Tunel del Amor" sounds a bit like dance-pop sung by a Spanish Siouxsie Sioux, while Jean's "Give Me the Seventies" has an appropriately funky flair. While Sex and Lucia might not be the most cohesive soundtrack, Iglesias' powerful score more than makes up for any unevenness in the rest of the album. ~ Heather Phares

Mamma Mia! [Original London Cast] by Original Cast Recording/Original London Cast/Original Soundtrac
"Mamma Mia! [Original London Cast]" (10/17/2000) Soundtracks Original Cast, Decca (USA)MAMMA MIA is a musical based on the songs of ABBA. Music and lyrics composed and written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Principal cast: Lisa Stokke (Sophie Sheridan); Eliza Lumley (Ali); Melissa Gibson (Lisa); Siobhan McCarthy (Donna Sheridan); Louise Plowright (Tanya); Jenny Galloway (Rosie); Andrew Langtree (Sky); Neal Wright (Pepper); Nigel Harman (Eddie); Paul Clarkson (Harry Bright); Nicolas Colicos (Bill Austin); Hilton McRae (Sam Carmichael); Tom Magdich (Father Alexandrios). MAMMA MIA! was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. Composer/Lyricists: Benny Andersson; Bj?rn Ulvaeus. Based on the Broadway musical, which, in turn, is based on vintage ABBA tunes, the 2008 Hollywood adaptation of MAMMA MIA! features the star-studded cast performing classic tracks by the beloved Swedish pop group. While most cast members (including Amanda Seyfried and Pierce Brosnan), acquit themselves admirably, Meryl Streep truly shines on buoyant songs such as the title track and "Dancing Queen." ABBA principals Benny Andersson and Bj?rn Ulvaeus turned to stage musicals after their band's demise and composed two, one of which, CHESS, ran in the West End and on Broadway. For their third stage effort, they returned to their ABBA catalog and put together MAMMA MIA!, a show that employs their old songs (with occasional lyric revisions) in the service of a libretto by Catherine Johnson about a girl who tries to discover her father's identity in time to have him give her away at her wedding. So, how does MAMMA MIA! compare to an ABBA greatest-hits album? Well, the recordings are less fully produced than the originals, and in that sense less impressive. But the originals were sung by Scandinavians who sometimes sounded like they had learned the lyrics phonetically, the vocals often featuring odd phrasing and word emphasis. Here, the songs are being sung by native English speakers, and that is a distinct improvement. Culled from the smash hit London, Toronto, and Broadway musical of the same name, MAMMA MIA is a treasure trove of ABBA hits penned by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, who are also the guiding force behind said production. The theatrical versions of these classics have been reworked somewhat, and the album also includes some pieces not from the original ABBA catalog, but in the main this is a fun workout from the oeuvre of Sweden's biggest export since Volvo cars. While it's a little disorienting to hear familiar songs like these in unfamiliar orchestral settings, the material is strong enough to withstand the reworking it undergoes here. The result is an enjoyable memento of what should prove to be a long-running and popular production.

Cellular [Original Score] by Original Soundtrack/John Ottman (CD - 10/12/2004)
"Cellular [Original Score]" (10/12/2004) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, La-La Land RecordsComposer: John Ottman. After scoring so many lowbrow Hollywood thrillers, it's somewhat inevitable that John Ottman would begin repeating himself -- listening to Cellular, it's difficult to shake the sense that the composer is simply going through the motions, even if the complexity and craftsmanship of his approach remain crystal clear. A dark, mysterious score that accelerates with each successive theme, Cellular boasts a few unique touches, most notably the mobile-phone keypad rhythms that snake in and out of the music, but Ottman is forced to operate in such a limited emotional and stylistic context that there's little here that wouldn't fit just as comfortably in likeminded schlock such as Gothika or Hide and Seek. Ottman's mastery of the suspense score is indisputable -- the question is whether or not he can thrive in other genre environments, and Cellular does absolutely nothing to settle the debate. ~ Jason Ankeny

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by Original Soundtrack (CD - 04/21/1998)
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (04/21/1998) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Polydor (USA)Like the album itself, the soundtrack to the 1978 film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is a legend in its own right. Where the Beatles' album was a groundbreaking moment in pop music, the Robert Stigwood film was an unmitigated disaster, an embarrassment not only to the Beatles, but to everyone involved in the production. Nevertheless, as the years passed and '70s nostalgia grew, certain kitsch fanatics revealed an affection for the debacle, so it wasn't a complete surprise that the album was reissued on CD for its 20th anniversary. A reissue, however, doesn't validate this music, not by any stretch of the imagination. A few performers try to give their best -- witness Earth, Wind & Fire's "Got to Get You into My Life," Aerosmith's "Come Together," and Billy Preston's "Get Back" -- but there's no erasing the fact that this is an absolutely atrocious record, one that was simply beyond saving. There's really no excuse for such mind-boggling mismatches as George Burns' "Fixing a Hole," Alice Cooper's "Because," Steve Martin's "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," or all the endless, awkward numbers from the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, and Frankie Howard. It's so bad that it's not even camp, and only those with truly twisted senses of humor -- or who need every '70s artifact -- will find it tolerable. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Like the album itself, the soundtrack to the 1978 film Sgt.

Battlestar Galactica Season One
"Battlestar Galactica: Season One [Sci Fi Channel Series]" (06/21/2005) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, La-La Land RecordsComposer: Bear McCreary. Personnel: Ken Stacey, Brendan McCreary, Michael Now, Lillis O Laoire (vocals). Audio Mixers: Steve Kaplan; Gordon Fordyce. What with the scores John Williams has penned for the Star Wars movies and those of Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, and others for the Star Trek films, you'd think it was settled that the music of science fiction involves grand themes and lush orchestral arrangements reminiscent of European classical music. But Bear McCreary, who has taken on the task of scoring the second television series to be called Battlestar Galactica (a sort of "next generation" sequel to the 1978 series), has a very different view. To McCreary, space music can sound like almost any earth-bound style, although he is particularly fond of drums. Martial drums, Burundi-style drums, tympani, marching band drums, you name it, McCreary likes it, and he devotes many of the 30 cues on Battlestar Galactica: Season One (78 minutes culled from over five hours of music heard on the first season of the show) to percussion showcases. But that's not all by a long shot. Determined to demonstrate his mastery of musical styles, McCreary writes faux opera ("Battlestar Operatica"), muzak ("Battlestar Muzaktica"), string quartets ("The Dinner Party"), Celtic music ("Wander My Friends"), and more, bringing in vocalists here and there to sing in Latin, Gaelic, and Italian. Now and then, he also gives us echoey, electronic interludes that actually suggest the science fiction setting of the series. But all of these are just side trips in the main percussion fest that to McCreary is what battlestars should sound like banging around in the great beyond. In space, it seems, everyone can hear you drum. ~ William Ruhlmann

"A Prairie Home Companion [New Line]" (05/23/2006) Rock & Pop Original Soundtrack, New Line RecordsThe soundtrack album to Robert Altman's 2006 movie centered around Garrison Keillor's popular public radio show is packed with all the homey, yet slightly twisted content of Keillor's original production--but augmenting the show's regular characters, we have hot Hollywood talent like Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Lindsay Lohan, and Woody Harrelson performing songs like the sentimental "My Minnesota Home," the cowboy anthem "Whoop-I-Ti-Yi-Yo," and the blues classic "Frankie and Johnny." Streep and Tomlin acquit themselves particularly well, but understandably it's real-life regulars like Tim Russell, Robin and Linda Williams, and Keillor himself who steal the show.

The Pink Panther [3/14]
"The Pink Panther [2006]" (03/14/2006) Easy Listening His Orchestra, VarŠse Sarabande (USA)Original score composed by Henry Mancini. Producer: Joe Reisman. Reissue producer: Rob Santos. Recorded at RCA Victor's Music Center Of The World, Hollywood, California. Originally released on RCA (2795). Includes reissue liner notes by Michael Hill. Digitally remastered by Elliott Federman (SAJE Sound, New York, New York). Composer: Christophe Beck. Personnel: Plas Johnson (saxophone). Audio Mixer: Casey Stone. Recording information: Sony Pictures Studio Scoring Stages; Todd-AO. Arranger: Kevin Kleisch. "Moon River" might be Henry Mancini's biggest hit, but it was Mancini's score for Blake Edwards's 1964 farce THE PINK PANTHER that introduced his music to generations of children; the haunting, jazzy main theme was used in dozens of cartoon shorts that were broadcast on television for years. Aside from that familiar tune, the majority of this soundtrack consists of swinging-'60s jazzy pop exotica with a Continental flair and a sly sense of humor, most notably the madcap "Shades of Sennett." You also get one of Mancini's finest pop songs, "It Had Better Be Tonight," here in both an instrumental and a vocal version, with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. (Sadly, the version in Italian sung in the film by Capucine has never been on any of the soundtrack releases.) This reissue also includes four tracks from 1974's RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER.

Sling Blade by Original Soundtrack/Daniel Lanois (CD - 05/07/2005)
"Sling Blade" (05/07/2005) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, IslandOriginal score written by Daniel Lanois and Mark Howard. Producers include: Daniel Lanois, Mark Howard. Engineers Include: Mark Howard, Wayne Lorenz. Personnel: Daniel Lanois (guitar, omnichord, loops); Emmylou Harris, Tim Gibbons, Scott Lucas (vocals, guitar); Bambi Lee Savage (guitar); Malcolm Burn (cello); Darryl Johnson , Claude des Roches, Joe Daniels, Willie Green , Brian Blade (drums). Audio Mixer: Tom Lord-Alge. Photographers: Johannes Beck; Kevin Lehman; Michael Yarish; Marina Chavez. Unknown Contributor Role: Daniel Lanois. Arranger: Daniel Lanois. Producer/musician Daniel Lanois's moody, atmospheric score for this story of a Southerner trying to start over after being institutionalized for 25 years is full of as much drama and feeling as the film itself. Lanois made his name producing such artists as U2, Bob Dylan, and Peter Gabriel, and his trademark is a dark, swampy sound. That sound, which is both organic and mysterious, fits perfectly in this story. The score is rich and ambient, featuring Lanois's heavily-processed guitar and the help of a few extraordinary players (mentor Brian Eno, jazz drummer Brian Blade, Emmylou Harris). It's complemented by tunes by country singer Bambi Lee Savage, Booker T. & The MGs, and the rock band Local H (covering Guided By Voices' "Smothered in Hugs"). Also included is "The Maker," which first appeared on Lanois's 1989 solo album ACADIE. It's a churning, funky update of the homegrown spiritualism perfected by the Band in the 1960s, and it closes the album on a hopeful note.

Producers: Neely Plumb, Nick Redman. Compilation producer: Paul Williams. Includes liner notes by Michael Matessino. Digitally remastered by Mike Hartry. Multi-million sales, a spell of 16 weeks at the top of the US chart, and winning Gold Disc and Grammy Awards were fitting rewards for this memorable recording of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's much-loved musical which opened on Broadway in November 1959. The show's stars, Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel, were in fine vocal form, and led the excellent cast through the score's highlights, which included `My Favourite Things', `Do-Re-Mi', and `Edelweiss' - the last song that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote together before the latter's death in 1960. One of the best-selling albums of all time, the original soundtrack for the film version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's THE SOUND OF MUSIC is above all a showcase for the formidable talents of Julie Andrews. She plays the novitiate Maria, governess and eventual mother to the seven musically gifted children of the widower Captain Trapp. During the swinging '60s much was made of Andrews' ultra-wholesome image in both this film and Disney's Mary Poppins. What can't be denied is Andrews' uniquely Briti

"La Cage aux Folles [Original Broadway Cast]" (10/25/1990) Soundtracks Original Cast, RCA Victor Records (USA)All music written by Jerry Herman. Personnel: Gene Barry (vocals); George Hearn (vocals); David Engel, Dr. David Evans , Elizabeth Parrish, Jennifer Smith, Eric W. Lamp, William Thomas, Jr., David Cahn, Merle Louise, Jack Neubeck, Frank Dipasquale, Jay Garner, Mark Waldrop (vocals). Liner Note Author: Harvey Fierstein. Recording information: RCA's Studio A (08/04/1983). Director: Don Pippin. Composer Jerry Herman finds much greater depth in this French farce about a club for transvestites in St. Tropez than did the original play or the film, turning it into a virtual proclamation of gay pride ("I Am What I Am"). The score has his typically catchy tunes and slangy lyrics, and it remains touching, perhaps even more so in the age of AIDS. George Hearn is outstanding in the lead role. ~ William Ruhlmann

All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. Full performer name: Original Soundtrack/Original Score. Disney's remake of this children's classic features a new look, some updated references (such as a memorable parody of the Beatles' Abbey Road album cover) and a soundtrack which mixes the old with the new, making sure that no matter what else changes, that old Disney magic is still there. Featuring classic tracks such as "L O V E" by Nat "King" Cole adds a touch of class. Keeping it in the family, Natalie Cole appears also, with "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)." In addition, the soundtrack takes a more modern turn with sweet pop of the La's "There She Goes" and the ultra-quirky Shonen Knife, performing the Carpenter's "Top Of The World." This mix of artists and material from yesterday and today helps to bring home THE PARENT TRAP's sweet tale of youthful hijinks and the wisdom of the young.
