Hollywood formula dictates that high school bookworm Casey (Michelle Trachtenberg) must struggle against both her own strong-willed mother (Joan Cusack) as well as her rival's (Kim Cattrall) in her quest to become a champion figure skater. It also inspires this soundtrack to be anchored by a rousing, against-all-odds anthem, "Reach," an infectious modern rocker by Caleigh Peters. Elsewhere, budding teen idol Jesse McCartney offers up the slick, 80's-inflected groove of "Get Your Shine On" while Michele Branch's "You Set Me Free" and "I Fly" by co-star Hayden Panetierre are infused with an inviting, harmony-rich contemporary sheen. Disney's penchant for energetic teeny-pop is showcased via Emma Roberts, Superchick and Natasha Bedingfield. But it's also an album eclectic enough to include the unabashed retro-Broadway charms of Lucy Woodward's "It's Oh So Quiet" and the more modern melodrama of Diana DeGarmo's "Reachin' For Heaven." --Jerry McCulley

Liken' it!.......2007-05-24

If you loved the movie you wont want to miss this. A very exciting CD. It even has all your favorite artists. Aly&Aj, Raven, Jesse McCartney, and more! A variety of different music, but mostly pop. Even if you didn't like the movie the soundtrack is no dissapointment.

I like it.................2006-12-12

I checked out this CD from the library the other day and so far, I am pretty happy with it! I think it is pretty good. Here are my fave songs on it (and pretty much the only ones I listen to):

Unwritten: Track 13. Very Good! ONe of my faves on the whole CD
I fly: Track 9. Pretty Good. Not the best, but very good.
Get up: Track 8: DEFFINETLY one of my faves!!!
You set me free: Track 4. REALLY good!
No one: Track 6. Ok. I like it
IT's so quiet: Track 7. Pretty good

Thanx for reading my review!!!!!

BYE!!!!!

great!!.......2006-12-06

I own the soundtrack, and listen to it all the time! Catchy rythems and it's from Disney, so it's bound to be good! Here's the best songs on the CD:

"Reach"- Cool beat to it.
"If I Had it My Way"- Fun and fast song.
"You Set Me Free- the BEST on the album. I am actually going to buy Michelle Branch's CD because of this one song!

"I Fly"- Simple and sweet, Hayden does really good in this one.
"There Is NO Alternative"- Good dancing song and really pop-ish.
"Unwritten"- Good message in it too.

The rest are good but not great. The WORST song on it was definallty IT'S OH SO QUIET! That song is so retarted and lame with her whilpering in it! Come one! That's a horrid song and i never listen to it!
You should go buy this CD. Trust me, you will like it.

Feel Yourself Flying!.......2006-06-30

Have you ever had a big, big dream and you felt like you were soaring up into the clouds? Even if perhaps you haven't had such a dream yet, the music from Ice Princess is enough to get you feeling that "up in the air" feeling. All of the songs have a great message to give you about just going for things and being yourself... not being afraid to do anything. Many of the singers are probably familiar to you - Natasha Bedingfield, Aly & AJ, Jesse McCartney... even Diana DeGarmo from American Idol. There's just something about this album that reaches out to your innermost feelings and allows you to open up yourself. I realized that many of these songs helped me feel stronger. And if you enjoy this CD, be sure to check out the movie... and if you enjoyed the movie, it's guaranteed that you'll enjoy this CD. Start flying!

great soundtrack.......2006-04-30

I love this soundtrack. It's got good, clean songs and because most of them were used to skate to in the movie, they have great beat. I used several of them to dance to in my dance class. They're great. I also ice skate, not terribly well, but I'm not too bad...and I loved these songs to skate to as well. My favorite song is Get Up. The words are great. I'm not afraid to fall it means I've climbed up high, to fall is not to fail, you fail when you don't try. That's a great message. however, the only thing I wish it had was the song Casey does at regionals, and the songs (without words) like Can-can, Pink Panther theme song, etc. Those are neat songs to dance to as well, and even do gymnastics to. but, over all, great CD. I give it a 9/10.

A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

great soundtrack, but lacking satisfaction.......2007-05-29

Vampire Princess Miyu is a great show. It has great music too. The music is more background music...to maybe set a mood? but it's not the kind of music you'd listen to with friends. You'd listen to it by yourself. Like the show, the music is depressing. It wouldn't be party music. It has all the vocal songs from the show (which are all in Japanese). If you're the type of person who likes their music loud, this CD isn't for you. If you're the kind of person who likes mellow music to listen to by yourself, this CD may be for you. It's for you to decide.

The price on Amazon for this item at the moment is around $70.00, is the music from that show really worth that much? in my opinion, it's not because i rarely even play the music on this CD.

Melody of the Dark.......2004-05-01

As much as I love and am addicted to Japanese animation in general, one thing I look forward to the most is the music heard throughout the episodes and the original score for "Vampire Princess Miyu" is one of the best I've yet to come across. To be honest I have never heard a more beautiful soundtrack in my entire life! Even before I experienced the OVA's and TV series for this amazing show I bought this gorgeous piece of work on a whim and was absolutely blown away! Before this I wasn't familiar with acclaimed composer Kenji Kawai who is best known for "Ghost in the Shell" but I was more than impressed with the atmospheres he created here so I'll gladly pick up anything I see his name on...

With the exception of a couple vocal performances by Saeko Suzuki on "Miyu Forever", Miki Nagasawa on "Temariuta" and Hiroko Kasahara on "I Wanna Meet You", as well as a few others such as "Chase Of The Devil" which is upbeat but slightly darker in mood for it's used for the battle scenes when Miyu and Larva capture the shinma (demons), most of the songs are less than two minutes in length. However, these lush, melancholy tunes make up for that in quality, and there's plenty of quantity with 34 stunning tracks and over 73 minutes worth of traditional Japanese folk music that will captivate and enchant you, just as it did me.

This is highly recommended!

Beautiful, Haunting Soundtrack.......2004-02-24

How the composer managed to convey the ethereal beauty of Miyu, the complexity of her emotions, or the haunting darkness of her world is beyond me. The CD contains the extended versions of the opening and ending themes of the TV series, which is fantastic. From the first sound of the eerie flute to the rhythmic energy of the Japanese drums, the haunting opening theme is what initially captured my attention while watching the episodes for the first time. It was the primary reason why I purchased the CD-- yes, I thought the theme song alone was worth the price. And I have to say, I'm not disappointed.

There are only three vocal tracks on this CD, tracks 9, 23, and 34. "I wanna meet you" (track 9) is a beautiful song that expresses the nostalgic longing of love. Tenderly sung, it brought unexpected memories of childhood sweethearts and summer days. A very unexpected and pleasant surprise in a series that's known for its dark, gothic themes.

"Temariuta" (track 23) is a haunting counting song more in line with what I expected from the series. The sound of Miyu's voice being echoed by the delicate children's chorus was like hearing the ghosts of the past carrying across the darkness of time. Spooky, but oddly inspiring. Don't ask me how.

While the vocal tracks are very well done, it's the excellent instrumental music that captures the raw emotion of the series. Certainly the opening theme is a good example, and deservedly so, but my favorite is the "Tragedy of Female Fighter" (Track 26). It's short, only two minutes in length, but as another reviewer (Jen L.) had noted about the piece, it perfectly captures the "nostalgia, sorrow, and steely resolve reflecting that of the girl who seeks revenge on the Shinma who murdered her family."

I highly recommend this anime soundtrack to any fan of the series, and especially to those who enjoy listening to instrumental pieces.

Beautiful, haunting Japanese music........2003-02-22

This is some of the best anime music I've heard in a long time. Its haunting with the flute, and beautiful for it shows Miyu's emotions right through. The vocal tracks are extremely good as well. To hear a voice with the intruments (ack, spelling) makes it even more haunting.
