Customer Reviews:
The picture.......2006-12-11
I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Customer Reviews:
Beautiful Music.......2006-04-05
Joe Hisaishi's score fit perfectly with the movie by Miyazaki. The music provides wonderment, excitement and even comedy and really highlights what is going on in the movie. The score can take you to another land and raise spirits. It is truely inspiring and makes you want to get up and go on an adventure. The way Hisaishi uses strings and percussion to puncuate the mood is amazing. This music rivals that of "Spirited Away" and makes the band nerd in me want to get out the horn and play. From one that loves music, I would recommend this score to anyone.
A Spectacular Musical Journey!.......2005-10-18
I just bought this soundtrack as used and new for only twenty bucks and I was glad I did. I found the score mystical and glorious, a perfect addition to the Princess Mononoke CD I also have. Joe Hisaishi is most certainly among the masters of movie scoring. His simple melodies and breathtaking arrangements get me every time!
I have never listened to any other additions of this music and have only seen the english movie But as far as I'm concerned, I basically the entire score and I enjoy it constantly.
It was so fun for my brother and I to go and listen to the music, while picking out what part of the movie they were from and quoting the lines with gusto (We absolutely LOOOOVE the movie).
SOme of the songs I have to say, swept me away with grand style. These included "The FOrgotten Robot SOldier", "The Lost Paradise", and of course the main theme, "THe GIrl who Fell from the SKy".
Other themes such as "Dola and the PIrates" and the prologue "Flaptors Attack", had me laughing because I could easily envision the parts of the movie that they were from. And that is the magic of Hisaishi's music. Usually I have to listen to a score many times and THEN watch the movie before I can pick out all the themes from my CD. THis was quite the opposite. After seeing the movie about ten times throughout the past year and a half, I came to know all the music so well, than almost none of the music on the CD came as a surprise.
BUt most certainly, nothing compares to the heartwrenching piece right before the finale, "THe Destruction of Laputa (CHoral Version)". SOmetimes when I listen to this song, it is all I can do not to cry.
Over all a musical masterpiece. NO collection is complete without this work of genius!
Great rearrangement but still prefer the original.......2005-08-22
I've been a great fan of Joe Hisaishi/Hayao Miyazaki ever since the original Laputa movie came out in 1986. I used to have the original soundtrack on tape back then and always wanted to get it on CD. Recently, I bought this US version by mistake. The music is still great. But maybe I'm too attached to the original scores, I still prefer the original. Also it feels incomplete without the closing theme sung by Azumi Inoue.
Excellent OST.......2003-10-03
I first saw Castle In The Sky over a decade ago, and then unfortunately only about half of it but the memorable images and scenes (e.g. the robots laid against the giant tree) immediately came back when I clapped eyes on the US import DVD last april. Ive been a big Miyazaki/Hisaishi fan ever since.
I'm disappointed that I had to import this from Japan, but it was worth it. The music is very majestic and reminds you of the scenes nicely, especially track 8 (on the train being chased by Dola's gang) which is my favourite.
Ive bought several soundtracks since for the miyazaki movies, and would put them in the following order of purchase:
1. Castle in the Sky
2. Princess Mononoke OST (US)
3. Spirited Away (No-Faces' theme is used too often in the later tracks, but otherwise great)
4. Princess Mononoke Symphonic Suite (some of the tunes in the middle of the CD are plain noisy)
There is really only one problem with CITS, and that is the closing theme, sung by Azumi Inoue, is missing! I was looking forward to that..
Beautiful, impressive (and grossly undervalued) reworking of Hisaishi's classic score........2003-03-16
Back in 1998, when Disney released Miyazaki's wonderful KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE on video, they announced that their next video release would be LAPUTA: THE CASTLE IN THE SKY (changed to CASTLE IN THE SKY since Laputa is an offensive word in Spanish) in 1999. That was before PRINCESS MONONOKE received a rather limited (and too little seen) release in the US. Disney had at one time considered releasing this movie to theaters, but that idea fell by the wayside. Since then, however, Disney has finally unveiled its much gossiped English track to DVD; introducing newcomers to this rollicking adventure classic.
For the production of the dub, Disney suggested for composer Joe Hisaishi to rerecord his much loved score for the film with the Seattle Music Orchestra. This caused a bit of controversy from some Anime purists, but Hisaishi went ahead and did it, since he has an understanding of Hollywood's style of scoring for films. Naysayers attacked this ambitious reworking (sometimes unfairly, too), claiming that it tarnishes the film, but Miyazaki is said to have praised Hisaishi's efforts, which probably renders such arguments moot. The new score was eventually released on CD in October 2002 in celebration of the film's DVD premiere in Japan.
Like many, I hold the score of LAPUTA close to my heart (as I do for any score Joe Hisaishi writes!), but, unlike those who said nay beforehand, I had faith that Hisaishi could churn out a gem that doesn't have to top the original score for LAPUTA, but would be spectacular enough to hold its own ground. I understand that there will be those who will object to what you're about to read, but I stand behind my review: this album didn't just meet my expectations, it surpassed them... and then some. From start to end, I got what I was hoping to hear - a masterfully arranged orchestral suite of Hisaishi's marvelous score. (It's similar to listening to the GAME MUSIC CONCERTs... the joy of hearing your favorite game tunes played by an orchestra.) For those of you who are worried that this is a butchering of one your favorite scores, don't. The orchestrated pieces follow their original compositions closely and are performed with pure beauty and power by the orchestra. Even better yet, there are piano solos (and some of the same synthesizer sounds from the original score) tucked in more than one track from Joe Hisaishi. The result is nothing less than breathtaking.
There are some minor embellishments for several tracks, though. The trumpet fanfare for Pazu, for example, is no longer trumpet only, but accompanied by a lyre. In addition, the tearjerking choral hymn for the apocalypse of Laputa starts out acapella, then is accompanied by the orchestra. Such alterations infuriated purists, but I'm going to take a different stand and say that, while these changes are noticeable in comparison to the original versions, by no means do they detract from the listening experience. Neither does it hamper the movie in any way.
My one real complaint is that this album is much too short - 61 minutes just doesn't feel like enough. After hearing a wonderful arrangement of the "Laputa" motif, I was both missing the original version and crying for more!
All in all, this is a much underrated rearrangement of Hisaishi's score that deserves a second chance. While many will argue over whether it does justice to the movie or not, this revamp is brilliant and an enjoyable listen in its own right -- it has the recognizable tunes, character themes, and emotions all in the right place, only powered by orchestral glory (and the sound quality is excellent, too). Remember, this IS still Joe Hisaishi!

The Welsh Django Reinhardt........2006-09-06
In America they had Leo Kottke, Duck Baker, John Fahey and Stefan Grossman.Back in England in 1972 John James was hailed as the 'next Django Reinhardt" in The Melody Maker and various British music papers.
Even though he is essentially a folk guitarist whenever he breaks into single line runs he does resemble Django as shown on the very first track of this CD. This compilation of two of his early albums show us his skill (as well as fellow adept guitarist Peter Berryman)in handling everything from sea shanties to jazz to ragtime. Acoustic guitar has never sounded sweeter as James & Berryman tackle some very demanding and intricate passages .
The liner notes say that both men were inspired by Lonnie Johnson & Eddie Lang and this influence comes through on the tune "Easy Street" as they swap solos in that fashion.
The standout track for me is their version of Scott Joplins "Weeping Willow".(beautifully handled)
All the tunes are wonderful. On "Head In The Clouds" John James is aided by ex- Pentangle musician John Renbourne and the extravaganza continues.
In the early 70s in Britain there were several VERY talented folk guitarists who picked up from Davey Grahams legacy abit. Happily most of them are stll around.
(Martin Carthy, John Renbourne, Ralph McTell, Wizz Jones, Bert Jansch,Gerry Lockran,Richard Thompson etc) James & Berryman have faded abit in the distance today but they were amongst the most notable.
A nice missing link in the "new acoustic" guitar scene.......2003-08-23
This single-disc reissue features two albums of obscure instrumental acoustic guitar music by Welsh guitarist John James. The first album, Pie In My Sky" features duets with guitarist Peter Berryman, many with a choppy, blues-informed style that doesn't quite have the expansiveness or imaginative breadth of, say, John Fahey or Leo Kottke, although it is still quite nice. (Certainly better than anything I could play...) By his second album, though, James had grown considerably, and the melodies and phrasing are much, much richer. Underscoring this growth, one of the masters of the genre, John Renbourn, joins him on three of the album's tracks, and these duets are indeed quite lovely. Guitar music fans will find this disc of note.
A sadly little known guitarist.......2000-08-15
In the 1970s John James, a ragtime-influenced Welsh folk guitarist, put out a string of highly personal and technically accomplished albums that any musician would have been proud to have associated with his name. Sadly, in the U.S. he was, and still is, entirely unknown. Folks, this was one of the very best finger-picking style guitarists of his generation! Unlike his blues-influenced contemporaries Jansch, Renbourn and Graham, his was a nimble-fingered ragtime approach to his art--he was one of the first to rejuvenate the style, even before Joplin finally got his due with "The Sting." This particular twofer combines his first and fourth albums. I never cared all that much for "Sky in My Pie" (most of which consists of duets with second guitarist Pete Berryman), but "Head in the Clouds" is a minor masterpiece featuring some stunning ragtime renditions, ragtime-jazz fusions, and double-tracking that looked forward twenty years to some of the more atmospheric efforts of the Windham Hill crowd. Now, if only we could get a twofer of the second and third albums, perhaps his two best overall, the whole picture might finally come into focus...

Very interesting album for Otaku who understand the Japanese.......2003-05-21
This is a very unusual album. This CD features a whole movie without videos -- it reproduces the exaxct dialogues, sound and musics of the movie as the story develops.
To appreciate the CD, one is requested to understand some Japanese.
For those Otaku who understand the language,and memorize the whole story and dialogue par coeur, the CD is interesting.
The dialogue of the movie is especially popular among many Japanese as there are many cool dialogues in the movie.
The dialogue of the movie is very fascinating but you may well see it as it is said that the rehersal for the dailogue is very hard and the Seiyus of the movie are from the finest Seiyus at that time.
In Japan, seiyu is considered a specified purpose-built occupation.
So you may well expect the high quality of the dialogue of the movie. On the contrary, many dubs of the movies outside Japan are carried out by the amateur actors and actress.
That explains why many consider the dialogue quality of the region code 1 (US) is inferior to that of the region 2 (Japan).
