Around the World With the Sticky Kids

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Childrens Music
by: Sticky Kids

December 13, 2004
Thought this was a lovely idea for a children's CD, with great songs (and slightly 'different' from the norm) from around the world. I was really disappointed in the never-ending introductions and unconstructive 'chatter' before every single song, though, making it completely useless as a bedtime CD or even a nice 'music' CD, since it's all turned into a kind of lesson and once listened to my kids couldn't be bothered listening to it again as it was boring second time around and rather pointless. Very disappointing as the idea was super.

Colours Are Brighter

We have been listening to this CD on repeat play for several weeks, and we all know the words to all the songs!!!! As a grown up I don't mind this at all, because they are so much fun.

This is a cheese-free CD, packed with belting little tunes for the whole family to sing along to. If the usual commercial children's compilations made of crappy chart pop 'hits' makes you want to hurl, you'll probably love this.

We also like 'they might be giants' kids cd's, some of the smithsonian pathways albums for kids, putumatayo for kids (especially animal playground) and the save the children compilations 'for the kids' 1, 2 and 3.

Our kids are all 6 and under, but we have had an 8 year old and 11 year old bopping ... Read More:

The Little Mermaid [Special Edition]

I ordered this recording the other week. Disney is known for its award-winning soundtracks anyway (or it used to be until the 90s), but the soundtrack for The Little Mermaid has to be their best work. It's Alan Menken at his best.
Jodi Benson is absolutely gorgeous as Ariel. The most memorable songs have to be 'Part of Your World', 'Part of Your World Reprise' and 'Under the Sea'.
This may be obvious to some people, but the songs on this soundtrack are meant to stand by themselves, i.e. certain dialogues that are part of the songs in the movie may be missing here.
CD 1 definitely gets 5 stars from me!

As for CD 2, this one mainly features cover versions. Generally, I think there can't be enough cover versions of good ... Read More:

Star Wars Episode 4 - A New Hope [Deluxe Remastered Version]

Listening to this soundtrack - feels like watching the film, from the opening credits to the tie-fighters attacking the falcon to the death of obi-wan. You simply don't get the same feeling listening to any other soundtrack (maybe because of my mis-spent youth?). Fantastic, iconic, seminal, legendary, universally recognised, i could go on at length - but i think you get the picture. This album really doesn't need reviews anyway, if you've seen the film and liked it and you are looking at this page you'd be mad not to get this (and the other 2 in this trilogy).

Simply the best!

The Many Songs of Winnie the Pooh

Its great to get a CD with music that you were brought up with. I bought this CD for my niece and found myself (along with everyone else) getting more enjoyment from the CD than she did! Its great to have something to play that won't drive you nuts!
My first concern in buying the CD was the songs were recorded with different voices and instruments to the films. However, the CD contains tracks that are identical to the songs that are heard on the Disney films, so the CD is everything you would expect. Recommended for young children (and adults that do not want to be driven mad by daft tunes).
