Editorial Reviews

Whether the movie Great Expectations was any good or not, the soundtrack excelled, crossing generations and cultures as Cesaria Evora nestles next to the Dead's "Uncle John's Band," and Mono's breathless "Life in Mono" leads into former Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell's surprising "Sunshower." A new song from Pulp, the first solo release by former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, and Great Expectations offers a wealth of surprises, the mood constantly changing, the only constant being the quality of the music, whether from established figures or relative newcomers. From Tori Amos to the Verve Pipe, this is an album that has it all. --Chris Nickson

4 out of 5 stars Awesome line up of musical talent from the 1990's.......2007-05-15

Loved the movie, loved the soundtrack even more. A great collection; perfect for anytype of mood. These songs have passion and a purpose. Highly recommend for alternative/rock listeners and those who enjoy 90's style music.

4 out of 5 stars Like the music.......2006-08-05

This is a CD I couldn't find in Wal-mart or Hastings, and Amazon delivered it quickly.

4 out of 5 stars A great collection of music that's better than the movie!.......2006-05-05

I didn't hesitate in the least when I saw this CD for cheap at a used bookstore. With previously unavailable songs from some of my favorite artists and a list of other artists that I enjoy hearing from every now and then, this soundtrack was a great buy!

As a Tori Amos fan, I love the way the album opens. The song "Siren" is just beautiful and was a taste of things to come for her. "Life in Mono" is one of the most haunting bits of electronica that you'll ever hear and this is the single that got me into Mono the group. "Today" by Poe is another highlight for me; new Poe material is hard to come by. "Walk This Earth Alone" is another bright spot; Lauren Christy material is also hard to come by since she started writing songs for today's teen pop stars. The solo tune from Scott Weiland is great too; not really a song you'd expect to hear from him.

It's also great to listen to the tracks from other artists that I enjoy but don't listen to often. Chris Cornell, Pulp, Duncan Sheik, and The Verve Pipe all have strong tracks featured here. I also really love the song by Fisher. I'd never heard of her before, but her voice is so lovely. I know I'll be getting more from her in the future.

The music from this film was much better than the film itself. Not that the movie was really bad, but as a fan of the original novel, I find this film to be lacking in emotion. I also don't care for Ethan Hawke. That's hard to overlook. But I recommend this album if you want to hear an eclectic mixture of sounds made by some of music's most respected artists. You might even hear something new!

5 out of 5 stars Unique Track 03: Tori Amos Complete Lyrics (Siren).......2006-03-20

And you know you're gonna lie to you
In your own way
And you know you're gonna lie to you
In your own way

And I lie some other day
You do
And you say girl

Know too well
Know the chill
Know she breaks
My siren

Know teenage flesh
Know the chill
Know she breaks
My siren

Never was one for a prissy girl
Coquette call in for an ambulance
Reach high, doesn't mean she's holy
Just means she's got a cellular handy
Almost brave, almost pregnant
Almost in love
Vanilla
Vanilla

And you know you're gonna lie to you
In your own way
And you know you're gonna lie to you
In your own way

And you don't need the light on
To guide you through the southern lands
Go said go, yes

Know too well
Know the chill
Know she breaks
My siren

Know teenage flesh
Know the chill
Know she breaks
My siren

Never was one for a prissy girl
Coquette call in for an ambulance
Reach high, doesn't mean she's holy
Just means she's got a cellular handy
Almost brave, almost pregnant
Almost in love
Vanilla...

5 out of 5 stars One of the best soundracks ever!.......2005-10-07

I've been listening to this cd for 7 years now and it continues to remain one of my favorites. While the Tori Amos song is good and has definately grown on my since I heard it, it is not the best song on the album. Duncan Sheik's "Wishful Thinking" is truly a masterpiece, beautiful lyrically and musically. The cd is so emotional, every song has interesting lyrics and what makees them great is that they relate to the movie so well while also relating to your life as well. "Breakable" and "Walk this Earth alone" are other great songs. But honestly, I thik all of them are great and I find myself wanting to simply list all of them right now. But instead of boring you, I just want to highly recommend this cd to anyone who is very interested and open about music. It is so different from anything else I've heard but its so great. I can't say enough good things about it!

5 out of 5 stars My favorite soundtrack.......2005-08-04

This is my favorite soundtrack. There are different styles, but they all blend together wonderfully. John Williams is masterful, as ever, on the guitar.

4 out of 5 stars Kissing in the Rain.......2003-08-28

Track #8, "Kissing in the Rain," is the sexiest track. It's the music played during my favorite scene when Estella runs after Pip. It is a powerful, emotional, heart rising piece. Play it over and over and dream of kissing Ethan Hawke.

5 out of 5 stars Better then most any other score!!.......2002-06-25

Ok ok..don't get me wrong Titanic's score was great, but Great Expectation's score is full of different moods. While titanic was full of love and the fear of the sinking, this one is quite different. Throughout the score the different themes come alive, from love, betrayal, regret, greed, and forgiveness at the end. This is one of the most beautiful scores I have listened to in a long time. "Estella's Theme" is just beautiful, and I usually don't like guitar, but it's just enchanting! AS with "Kissing in the Rain" I feel chills every time I hear it! Just shut off all the lights and lay down and listen to this score! You can just imagine yourself there and feeling what the characters felt! It's just amazing! a 5+ star!!

4 out of 5 stars I loved the film, I love this CD!.......2001-02-17

I actually purchased this CD by mistake. I had originally wanted the other Soundtrack (the one with the words!) I realized I made the error only after I took the plastic off the CD-- oops! Well, for once, one of my mistakes worked to my favor! This CD is excellent. I did see the film and I loved it. The film itself totally exceeded my expectations and I hightly recommend you renting it. This CD creates a certain aviance-- perhaps a rainy evening best describes it's alluring charm. It's wonderful background music when you have guests over and want to create a "relaxed" atmosphere-- it's very condusive to conversation. I've owned this CD for about a year now and still enjoy it.

4 out of 5 stars Good CD.......2000-06-04

I didn't enjoy the film much, pretty boring. But the CD is pretty good, the John Williams is nice..and the BIG highlight was Kiri Te Kanawa's 'aria' which she sings so romantically. Why wasn't it in the film!

Daughter of working-class Jamaica-to-England transplants, Tasmin Archer has a terrific voice--a soprano with plenty of power even in the lower gears of the conversational verses but capable of erupting on the choruses into a siren wails that can sustain of single syllables as long as she wants. When she grabs hold of a juicy melody, as she does on "Arienne" (a transparent rewrite of the Hollies' "Carrie- Anne"), she sounds like Annie Lennox against the synth-pop backing. Unfortunately, Archer's songwriting partners are isn't not Dave Stewart but guitarist John Hughes and keyboardist John Beck, who have none of the Eurythmics' knack for hooks and humor. Instead Archer is handed 11 very somber tunes with lyrics that circle serious issues like ecology, women's rights, and class injustice without ever quite grabbing hold of them. --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Undiscovered expectations.......2007-01-10

What a great talent - seems undiscovered in the U.S. Should be on everyone's iPod!

5 out of 5 stars A pop/rock gem.......2006-03-18

This album is fantastic. Her voice is unique and soulful. In my opinion the best songs are "Sleeping satellite", "Lords of the New Church", "In your care" and "Somebody's Daughter". The whole album it's outstanding! Buy it.

5 out of 5 stars In Tasmin's Care.......2005-10-24

Album otvara ultimativni hit 90', Sleeping Satellite, koji i danas jednako uzbudljivo zvuci bas kao i kada je izdat i plasiran da pretstavi debitantsko izdanje Great Expectations. Sjajne pesme se samo nadovezuju jedna na drugu Arienne, Lords Of The New Church gde je vidan uticaj Annie Lenox,When It Comes Down To It, sarmantna i pevljiva Steeltown, The Higher You Climb, odlicno otpevana In Your Care koja je svakako i najbolja pesma na albumu zajedno sa Sleeping Satellite i Ripped Inside, Somebody's Daughter daje pravi ritam i pomera album za jedan stepenik vise, Hero je jedina pesma koja skripi na ovom albumu jednostavno ne pripada tu ni tekstualno ni konceptualno, jednostavno nikako, i Halfway To Heaven koja zatvara album sigurno i suptilno dajuci oblik albumu.
Ako volite Annie Lenox ili Tracy Chapman, ovaj album je za vas.

5 out of 5 stars An elusive but memorable soul-folk-rock blend........2005-01-26

Even if you don't know who Tasmin Archer is, you may have heard her debut single "Sleeping Satellite". While not a huge hit, this was one of the most distinctive mainstream songs of the '90s. Not quite R&B, not quite folk rock, and not quite ambient, the song almost guarantees that once you hear it, you won't forget it.

On her debut, Archer was a little similar to Tracy Chapman in her presentation -- a young black woman who didn't belong directly to an R&B/soul genre, with songwriting and arrangements that beckon more to white traditions -- confessional folk in the case of Chapman, and polished pop/rock in the case of Archer. But both artists were able to add a distinctive flavour to their music with a huskier, soul-inflected vocal style, and so Chapman's folk songs and Archer's radio-friendly pop-rock sound like nobody else, both harmonious black-white amalgams with unique personalities.

"Sleeping Satellite" was a hugely impressive debut single, all the more so because it's a very low-key song. The melodies don't soar, the arrangements are subtle and even (a chiming piano, acoustic guitars mixed very far back), and the backbeat stays in a quiet, pensive groove.
But somehow it sounds anthemic (the larger-than-life lyrics help), another one of those songs you feel like should have been written a long time ago. Archer has more tricks up her sleeve, though -- "Arienne" is Byrdsian folk rock in the classic car-radio tradition, but "Lords of the New Church" is high-energy rock, harkening to Bruce Springsteen, and "Somebody's Daughter" is a moody midtempo rock number with a memorable lyric hook but a very Europop string section which spices up the arrangement nicely.

I'd stumbled upon Archer's music once again while going through my music library randomly, and putting on this record reminds me of the dozens of times I've spun this CD since I'd first bought it way back in 1992. It's a record that ages gracefully, sounding as up to date as it did 12 years ago, and Archer's appealing musical mix continues to delight.

4 out of 5 stars A bit heavy, but high quality.......2004-07-28

I think this is a very strong album: it may sound kind of dark and heavy at first, but it grows on you. 'Sleeping Satellite' is brilliant (the instrumental solo in the middle of the song always gives me goosebumps), 'When It Comes Down to It' melancholy but beautiful and 'Halfway to Heaven' is a very good finishing touch for the album ('when you're flat on your back you can still see the stars/guiding you through the night'). Very nice work.

5 out of 5 stars an army that will never fall.......2005-01-14

New Model Army has often been compared to the likes of WAR-era U2, The Alarm, and countless obscure UK Punk bands who lean towards political and religious subjects, yet they are in a class by themselves by securing the dubious honor of being one of the few Punk bands to actively incorporate the use of a violin or an acoustic guitar into their sound. if there was ever a band who had such a burning desire in their hearts and minds for anything whatsoever, it is New Model Army. and this album certainly lives up to its title. on 1984's 'The Price', Justin Sullivan's introspective and breathy vocals ignite a passionate fire as he channels the vocal stylings of Sting back in the days when he was fighting for New Wave justice with The Police. on 1987's 'White Coats,' Sullivan and Co. question the existence of life, the tragedy of suicide, and what lies ahead of us in the great beyond. the two most recognized tracks on this disc are both from NMA's standout year of 1989: 'Vagabonds' and 'Green And Grey'. 'Vagabonds' is a true battle cry for anyone who has ever felt lost or alienated as Sullivan chants "we are in this together" in the song's chorus, set to a military-style drum beat, a strong guitar, and a piercing violin strain a la 'Sunday Bloody Sunday.' 'Green And Grey' is a haunting acoustic lament to a deceased friend. if you have ever lost someone you love, this song will surely make you feel their presence. it has also been said that Justin Sullivan's voice is "too pristine" to be fronting a Punk band. but like the music he sings, he is fighting for a noble cause, which in this case would be the fact that Punk doesn't always have to sound chaotic to be considered aggressive. and Sullivan's stunning rasp certainly proves that point.
although New Model Army never reached the enormous amount of popularity that the aforementioned U2 achieved, they remain one of the most driven bands of the 1980's and beyond. no matter what struggles they face, this is one army that will never fall.

5 out of 5 stars As good as a band can possibly be.......2004-05-18

This career-spanning retrospective of NMA is nothing more than a document of the only rock band that really matters anymore. R.E.M. have wandered off somewhere, U2 has become too inconsistent, and Bob Mould seems to have retired. NMA keeps soldiering on, however, and even with a five-year hiatus in the mid-1990s, they still bring that fire and passion that they always did. Every song is delivered as if it is the most important news you'll ever hear, and NMA continue to buck against all trends. While they may never have a massive commercial success here in the US, one listen should convince anyone that there is no one who deserves it more.

This CD suffers from one flaw: it should have been two. There are a few singles missing ("Queen of My Heart", most obviously, as well as the live version of "Space" from 1991's Raw Melody Men), but it gets five stars anyway because the material on it is so crucial and arresting and flat-out fantastic that it could hardly receive anything less. Of particular note is the US-only remix of 1986's "Poison Street", a must for collectors as its album The Ghost Of Cain is widely regarded as one of their best. Three tracks come from 1988's Thunder And Consolation, although in all honesty any three songs from that masterpiece would fit perfectly here. Understand that this is a band whose 1994 b-side compilation sounds better and more complete than almost any other artist's studio release.

NMA have always been overlooked in the US, although as of this writing they are touring here for the first time in at least 10 years, playing clubs around the nation. Any fan of English punk, post-punk, rock, balladry and lyrics that actually say something should absolutely not miss this. Those of you who do not know NMA could very easily start here and hear what happens when you don't sell out.

Sounds a lot like the LA Express w/Tom Scott of the 70's. He guests on a cut but even the ones he's not on have his presence. Brian Price on the opening track sounds like Larry Carlton. Good straight ahead jazz fusion and sounds like they are having fun.

      4 out of 5 stars Most Enjoyable.......2001-06-25

      I bought this cd because, I'll admit, I am a big Ioan Gruffudd fan. I loved this movie, so, of course, I had to have the soundtrack! It has proved to be a great addition to my cd collection in it's own right.

      The album tells the story of Great Expectations quite well. Each song is from a specific scene or moment that brings us through the story.The music itself is highly symbolic--with different sounds and melodies reminding us of the pasts our characters cannot escape. The liner notes by the composer are fascinating. He describes the symbolic meanings and threads of each different melody/theme.

      There are several quite brilliant moments. Of note are, "Pip Becomes a Gentleman", "Gentlemen on the River", and "The Last Moments of Magwitch".

      I have not taken this cd out of my cd player since it arrived. I would highly reccomend it to anyone with an ear for beautiful and unusual music. You won't be dissappointed!
