Master and Commander

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Various Artists

December 01, 2003
A good musical score is can what often make a good film excellent, as is the case with Master and Commander. The soundtrack is classical but not stuffy, energetic without being intrusive. In other words, just excellent. If you enjoyed the film then it is a certainty that you will love the score.

Lake Wobegon Days: Original Radio 4 Broadcast (Radio Collection)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Garrison Keillor

June 02, 2003
Listen to the CD - then read the book. Once you've got Keillor's voice in your head, you'll never read his books the same way again. Gentle humour about growing up in Lake Wobegon, the town the map-makers missed (yes, it's in Mist County). Carefully observed detail, related with love (and occasionally impatience). Yes, this is small-town America, and eventually Keillor escaped to the big city. These are the memories of his childhood.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5 - Unabridged Audio CD Set - Adult Edition)

I really enjoyed the 5th Harry Potter book and mainly for the creation of Professor Umbridge! J.K. Rowling has created such a good villain with this character, I really could not stand the woman by the end of the book and the reader could really identify with the characters frustration with this vile and unfair woman. This book really sees the main charcacters growing up and is darker than the previous ones, I thought it was brilliant.

We'll Keep a Welcome

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: Bryn Terfel Orchestra of the Welsh National Opera Gareth Jones

October 16, 2000
I was given this album as a Christmas present, and I can only say it's one of the best presents I've ever received! Lots of old favourites are here, including 'Sosban fach' and of course 'Land of my Fathers'. But for me the highlights are a truly rousing rendering of 'Men of Harlech' (enough to make even an army of the dead want to rise and fight!)and Bryn's impassioned delivery of one of the greatest of hymns, 'Cwm Rhondda (Bread of Heaven)'. Even if one is not religious (and I am not), this must surely move all who hear it - it had me in tears. It comes from the guts, and it goes straight to the guts. Terrific stuff!

Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Soundtracks
by: OST Various Artists

August 01, 1998
Lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels is a crime tale about a group of friends from London who happen to lose a game of poker, they end up in a lot of debt thus having to get out of it. The story takes many twists & turns and will also make you laugh as it has a very good use of wry & dark humor. The plot evolves around one man but there are many characters who share as if not more an important role. The star of the show in this movie is Vinnie Jones who acts brilliantly.
I recomed 'Snatch' If you like this.

My two sons just love this . Martin Jarvis is absolutely fabulous with his voices, lisping Violet Eliabeth, and her parvenue arriviste mother. The stories are hillarious. William having to play fairies and having to say he likes all little girls(sweet little girl in white)William and the outlaws losing a baby(she is ok) and trying to replace it and ending up with 3 babies, and running from three angry mothers.(William and the triplets).Willaim showing an American around his village telling her it is Strattford Upon Avon, and passing his house off as Anne Hathaways cottage(William and the lost tourist) All the stories are so superbly read it is an absolute joy to hear. Go on buy it .

Hancock's Happy Christmas: Four Original BBC Radio Episodes (BBC Radio Collection)

November 05, 2001
Buy this.

Having heard all of these shows previously on the radio & having just bought the cd version to play in the car. I can only say that if you really want to celebrate this is the way to do it.

Although the plots are somewhat dated the pathos that runs through the shows remains relevant today. Truely masterful performances by Hancock, James, Williams ably supported by Jacques & Kerr.

Sit back, enjoy and maybe cry a little - with laughter of course.

Sleepless in Seattle Ost

January 13, 1997
I was about 15 when I wrote that so apologies are due as I seemed to be lacking in brain cells at that time although I stand by my statement that it's definetely worth dipping into your pockets for, whenever I'm bored of my other cds I put this back in the cd player and become content. The timelessness of most of these classics makes it a joy to listen to among my favourites is nat king coles stardust perfection. I'm also a sucker for joe cockers - bye bye blackbird. 'In the wee small hours of the morning' i do find to be somewhat tiresome and grating at times so possibly skip over that the odd times but other than that it's close to perfection. A fantastic soundtrack to accompany a personal fav film of mine.
