City of Angels Ost

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Original Soundtrack

May 04, 1998
A timeless album... I bought it for the song by Sarah McLachlan (Angel) and it was worth it for that one track which is so beautiful that it never fails to make me stop and stare. The rest of the album follows suit, particularly Peter Gabriel (I Grieve). If you like music to think to, this is for you.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Original Soundtrack

February 06, 2006
This is an excellent score to a truly brilliant film. As someone who has played this score with an orchestra it really does encorporate the true sounds of the pirate way of life. It has so many different atmospheres, the music is terific. This is a must have soundtrack!!!!!

Five Children and It (Junior Classics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: E. Nesbit

March 29, 2004
Yes, a great story, but to manage your expectations, this is not a patch on the Puffin tapes of the book read by Samantha Bond. This abridgement lacks colour compared with the Puffin one - you jump to the Psammead after about 3 minutes, and a lot of the Edwardian charm has been dropped. Anna Bentinck is just not as good either. But as this is the only audio available, I suppose you'll have to get it!

Book of Longing

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Philip Glass, Leonard Cohen

November 26, 2007
I wholeheartedly disagree with some of the reviewers who claim that Glass has provided the perfect setting for Cohen's later poetry. For one, Cohen on paper is not as great a poet as he is in song. In fact, his later poetry harks back a good deal to the poetry of the beats (Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, etc) and is comparable to a great degree to the late, great Charles Bukowski, but not as good, in my opinion. The difference being that Bukowski had no choice but to immerse himself in a squalid existence, and write, as it were, inside the belly of the whale. Cohen, on the other hand, has always exuded real class, and he has a much higher-minded side to his character, so that i.e. in 'The Energy Of Slaves' when he writes of Valentina, that "I loved ...

Doctor Who Original Music from Series One & Two

FANTASTIC!

I have had it in my car for over 3 weeks and still havent tired of it. Each time I listen to a song it reminds me of a specific moment in the series. The only downside is that they arent in order. I would however recommend this cd to anyone who isnt sure.

Greatest Hits

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Jason Donovan

December 04, 2006
If you have JD albums and previous collections there is NO NEED to get this as it contains only PWL singles and non from his last album ALL AROUND THE WORLD/MISSION OF LOVE or any recently recorded material. This is simply a cash in from recent reality TV work.

Hoffnung: A Last Encore (includes the Oxford Union Speech): A Last Encore (Includes the Oxford Union Speech) (BBC Radio Collection)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Gerard Hoffnung

July 01, 2002
Another reviewer of this product complained that the interview section with Charles Richardson isn't very funny - a reaction I simply can't understand, as these twelve interviews are simply the funniest exchanges I have ever heard. Gerard Hoffnung was just 35 when he died, but he sounds like a portly (and utterly mad) sixty-year-old, and his timing and instinct for the absurd are just exquisite.

A special mention to Charles Richardson, a totally straight American reporter, assigned to extract a meaningful interviews from this eminent musician and cartoonist but finding each attempt he makes to start a conversation quickly unravelling and thus being driven ever so gently to utter exasperation. Richardson surely *must* have been in on the joke, ... Read More:

This Is England OST

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Various Artists

The music's fine - the Ludovico Einaudi instrumental tracks particularly - but why, oh why, are there five dialogue tracks on this CD? You don't want to listen to them time after time!!! Also the listing as on this site when I bought the CD is wrong - there are only 24 tracks not 26 as shown - these two are missing: 17. Elgar: Pomp And Circumstance March No.1 In D Major + 19. Maggie Gave A Thistle - and the order of the others differs somewhat...
