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.

A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

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.

The songwriting is honest and emotional yet never cloying or trite. A great album.

Wonderful!!!.......1998-10-18

Christine is an amazing artist, performer, and person. I listen to her CDs over and over. She understands women so deeply. You will be thrilled with her beautiful music.

what more could you ask for?.......1998-10-05

A fabulous cd by a fabulous artist. Christine Kane's talent is unquestionable. "This Time Last Year" showcases her phenomenal voice and guitar. Touching, ligthearted, intense, sexy, and funny, this cd is sure to work its way into your stash of favorites!!!

Amazing music, amazing lyrics.......1998-05-05

I honestly believe (and earnestly hope) that Christine Kane is an up-and-comer whose name everyone will know very soon. Her voice, her guitar playing (and that of fellow guitarist Richard Birt), her sheer ability to capture incredible emotion into every song, have caused reviewers to compare her to the Indigos, Shawn Colvin, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. And she's at least as talented as any of these. This album, though somewhat spartan in arrangement, features some truly great songs and while more orchestration would be fine, it's completely unneeded. They're songs you feel completely comfortable in from the first time your hear them, like your favorite chair. Ms. Kane's ability to understand human emotion and her capacity for what Tom Robbins calls "joy in spite of everything" make her albums indispensable for anyone even remotely interested in the best of the modern acoustic world.

It's certainly not news anymore that soundtracks have a life of their own, far independent of their cinematic tie-in. In fact, it's highly likely that fewer than half of the songs on this soundtrack appear in the movie; after all, there needs to be some time for dialogue and plot. Nevertheless, these compilations--let's call them what they are--serve a vital purpose, since, with the exception of prog rock, singles are more important than albums, and a good collection of singles beats a few good songs and a smattering of filler by a single artist. However, what can be said about a handful of good singles sprinkled amid indistinct and mediocre tracks from a variety of high-profile artists? That's the problem on the Rush Hour soundtrack. Dru Hill, Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Too Short, and the duo of Snoop Dogg and Slick Rick are the few highlights in the 70 minutes of music here, while Montell Jordan, Wu-Tang, Jon B, and others mail it in. I guess that's why they make CD players programmable and sell them with remotes. --Martin Johnson

Customer Reviews:

Good Album.......2004-07-06

Def Jam's "Rush Hour Soundtrack" is an almost perfect soundtrack album. It has a skit every now and then, that was tooken from the movie. The song by Too Short is amazing, and Can I Get A? buy Jay-Z is also good. It also has a song from Westcoast gangster rappers Daz Dillinger & Big Tray Dee. I gave it a 4 star all because of the first 2 songs. EVERY other song on this album is awesome, a hip hop masterpeice.

Good effort.......2001-05-19

First off, this isn't really focused on the movie. As you can see from the title (Def Jam's Rush Hour Soundtrack) this is mainly an excuse to get a compilation of Def Jam artists out there. Although the skits are from the movie, and Can I Get A was used in one scene, everything else is basically new. So anyways, onto my review. There is nothing unique or special about these songs, but they are enjoyable. The album opens up with the "Skit" Never Touch A Black Mans Radio from the movie. Anybody who has seen the movie should know what scene all of these skits are from, as they are all from major parts in the movie. The CD then goes into the trio of three singles from the album: the mediocre How Deep Is Your Love performed by Dru Hill, the unimaginably boring Faded Pictures by Case and Joe, and the runaway jamming hit Can I Get A . . . by Jay-Z, Amil and Ja Rule which is easily the best song on here. Wu Tang has their song And You Don't Stop, which is pretty good but could have been better. Then Ja Rule has the angry, in your face, almost too much Bitch Betta Have My Money. Some of these songs will make you wonder what rap and hip-hop have come to, but wait. Two of the most awesome songs are coming up. Slick Rick's Impress The Kid is in a league of it's own, and the Montell Jordan/Monifah collaboration If I Die Tonight is sexy and intimate as hell. Everybodies favorite hottie Jon B. delivers well with his song Glad That We Loved, which is also

pretty good. After that, none of the tracks beside the movie snippets are really good. I'd buy this if you like the artists mentioned here, or you want to buy a soundtrack with hip-hop and R&B music. Fans of the movie might like this, but as the biggest song in the movie, War by Edwin Starr, is not included, beware before you buy it.

Something's Missing Here.......2000-10-09

Rush Hour is a great movie! The Soundtrack however is something I could do without! The biggest song in the movie is Edwin Starr's "War." Not only is it played countless times, but it is even referred to by Chris Tucker in the dancing scene. But for some reason it did not make it to the soundtrack! This is unfortunate because had it been on the soundtrack...it would've easily been the best song on this CD! True there are one or two decent pieces on here...but if you're in it for a song or two, resort to Napster!

big pun.......2000-05-10

a great soundtrack! the terror squad song is the best r.i.p. big pun u had dope lyrics

a sountrack must have the songs of the films.......2000-03-05

i found this movie great, of course, i'm a chan fan. i also like some songs and music of the film so i decide to buy this album. the surprise is that i don't found a lot of songs, the worst thing is that the songs that appear don't reflect the movie feeling. what's that of def jam? always the same, a poor hiphop, without strong, without heart, always the same. there are many songs or just one very long? i hate this cd, this is not a sountrack is another bad-defjam-album. SOUNDTRACK, music of a movie! if you like the music of the movie connect your taperecorder to your vhs and just record the sound, believe me.

It's easy to understand why Joe Lovano is the most admired tenor saxophonist under the age of 50 in jazz today. The 43-year-old Cleveland native has the thick, burnished tone of swing giants such as Ben Webster and Lester Young, yet he is completely comfortable with the open structures and radical harmonics of such members of the vanguard as David Murray and Bill Frisell. In Lovano's playing, you can hear the essential unity of the jazz tradition. Seldom has that unity been illustrated with as much lucidity or feeling as on Lovano's Rush Hour, a brilliant album which should expand his following from critics and fellow musicians to a much wider audience. Rush Hour is an unusual album, for nine of the 13 tracks were arranged and conducted by Pulitzer Prize-winning classical composer Gunther Schuller. For four ballads, including Ellington's "Prelude to a Kiss," Schuller backs Lovano with a jazz combo and a string orchestra which thickens the atmosphere without sweetening it. For four more vigorous works--including two extended Schuller compositions plus a movement from the Charles Mingus "Epitaph" symphony which Schuller resurrected--the conductor backs the saxophonist with a brass, reed, and woodwind orchestra which features some dazzling clusters of low-pitched clarinets and high-pitched saxophones. Coleman's ballad "Kathline Gray" is arranged as a jazz chamber piece for soprano sax, cello, harp, guitar, bass, and drums with gorgeous results. Lovano completed the album with three of his own compositions plus Billy Strayhorn's "Chelsea Bridge;" on these he multi-tracked various reeds and drums himself and added some truly adventurous scat singing by his wife Judy Silvano. In its perfect pairing of a major jazz voice and an uncommonly imaginative orchestrator, Rush Hour reminds one of nothing so much as Miles Davis's collaborations with Gil Evans. --Geoffrey Himes

Customer Reviews:

One of my favorites.......2001-05-23

When it comes to jazz cds my collection heavily favors the classic artists like Miles, Trane, Monk, and Mingus. But I would put this recording right up there with any of the heavyweights. Lovano's technique is superb and his range is impressive. Schuller's arrangements of some classic as well as original material is on a par with Gil Evans' collaborations with Miles. Particular favorites here are some of the ballads (Angel Eyes, a great Lovano tenor solo on Chelsea Bridge), and Schuller's "Lament for M" a poignant ode to his late wife. Superb.

Eclectic mix of tunes, great orchestrations.......2000-08-18

There is a great deal of variety on this album, with tunes from Monk, Mingus, Ellington, Coleman and a few standards and originals by Gunther Schuller and Lovano. The settings range from lush scoring for band and strings to Lovano alone. Gunther Schuller's "Rush Hour" is for me the highlight of this set- it's a frantic, 12-tone bop line with some fairly free solos. Also outstanding is the arrangement of Monk's "Crepuscule With Nellie" which manages to capture something of Monk's original quirkiness while still sounding new. This album has a lot to offer, and while some of the tracks are more accessible than others, all are worth repeated listenings.

Riding the streets with no music sucks........2005-09-19

This is one of Wesley Willis' earliest albums. The songs have the same basic song structure as all his other songs. But the songs have different subject matters than his later songs. For example, most of his later albums have several songs describing concerts he attended. This album doesn't have any songs like that. Most of these songs are based on fantasies out of Wesley's imagination. Wesley describes getting attacked by electric eels, vampires, dragons, Batman and more. To be honest, some of these songs don't make a heck of a lot of sense, even by Wesley's standards. But that is part of their appeal. This is probably Wesley's best album, not counting "Greatest Hits" albums.

tales of modern life.......2003-01-07

wesley willis is a true american poet whose writings are a painful summation of the harshness and banality of modern American Life. In undeniable kafka-esque fashion, wesley strips away the artifice through writings which reflect the bureaucratic nature of our destroyed emotions. His songs are brilliant parodies, not only of life, but also of the pop song structure itself. "Rush Hour" is a shining moment for Wes, featuring some his best songs ever, in my opinion. "King of Fire" "Creep Show" "Electric Eel" and "Electra 225" are some of the highlights here. I've had an admiration for this artist for quite awhile. Wes' combination of banality, harsh observation, and completely open honesty is refreshing in the extreme. Escape from over-produced pop fluff, buy Willis, and discover that some artists can rattle off nonsense with sheer brillance, thus making them genius. This also seems to be Willis' most spiritual album...

He plays his Casio well
I'd like to record with him one day
You can imagine his voice singing these words

I'm a funky white man, I'm a funky white man
I'm a funky white man, I'm a funky white man

Rush Hour 2's mixed bag of prefab sounds seems more like a corporate merger than an artistic effort. The concept: Raid Def Jam's stable of battle-scarred veterans (LL, Scarface) and next-up's (Musiq, Christina Milian), add appearances by some genuinely hot names (Snoop, Jill Scott), throw in a couple of outside-the-genre celebrities (Japanese superstar Hikaru Utada), and--as Nate Dogg croons on "Paper Trippin'"--get to stackin' cheese. Frenzied production can't overcome the overall low-energy vibe. Ludacris's filthy-but-funny "Area Codes" is fairly catchy, as is Meth's Biggie-referenced "Party & Bulls***." Macy Gray helps turn a Slick Rick classic into an interesting big band lullaby, while Jill Scott and Jazz's "Love Again" is little more than a postmodern Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway impersonation. LL's "Crazy Girl" is, hands down, the worst song he's ever done. But here's the good news: Keith Murray's still the most 'beautifullest' thing. Even Rockwilder's synth-based beat can't take the edge off of the Def Squadian's musical reentry. Welcome back, Keith. --Rebecca Levine

P.S. If you're wondering what the song's words are when it starts out it's:

Pretty good: My girl Utada Hikaru iz OFF DA HOOK!.......2002-11-16

The Rush Hour 2 soundtrack is good. There are some real good songs on this album...and there are ones that don't even deserve to be heard. Songs such as "I'm Sorry", "No", "You Make Me Laugh", "Party And Bullsh*t" are all great. I can't help but nod my head to the beats and feel the music. But, like most CD's, It has it's downside. Tracks such as "How's It Gonna Be" and "Keep It Real" should not have made it onto the Album. Even "Area Codes" got played out.

But the one song that made me say "WOW!" was Utada Hikaru's "Blow My Whistle". This song is produced by The Neptunes and features Foxy Brown. Of course Foxy's raps are tight. But Hikaru's voice flows perfectly on this song. What is so amazing is that Hikaru generated the most discussion on the album, and she's virtually unknown in the U.S. That, to me, shows a bright future in Utada's U.S. career.

ok, i haven't even heard this cd--i just watched the movie and the 2 of the songs that intrigued me (TUCKER's "don't stop..." and ST GERMAIN's "so flute") aren't on the soundtrack...ok, that happens sometimes but what irks me is the spate of recent soundtracks that say "music from and INSPIRED BY"--what is THAT about?? people wanna buy the cd's for songs they heard in the film, don't they? first there was the controversy of songs used in trailers not showing up in the film or on the cd, and now THIS! but the thing is, this particular cd doesn't even warn u that alot of these tunes have nothing to do with the movie! it's just stupid, if u ask me....i don't understand it....

Yes, Hikaru Utada graces this album, and this will be the only basis of this review, unless you want me to give a negative score and read an 8 page essay on why I don't like most of the rest...

We now interrupt this review for a News Story...

Hikki, or rather the name she likes better in the America biz, Hikaru Utada, has signed a contract with Island Def Jam, a division of Universal Music Group. According to Japanese news sources, Hikaru will apparently record an album and it will be released nationwide.

Customer Reviews:

A great Russian pianist of former times........2003-07-02

Unlike Artur Schnabel, who scorned the giving of encores at his recitals, Benno Moiseiwitsch was very generous in providing delectable extras at the end of his recitals. I can remember such recitals, the delight that Moiseiwitsch took in sharing favorite miniatures with his audience and, in particular, Moiseiwitsh as soloist in the best performance I have ever heard of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto.

This concerto is not heard here, but there is a sympathetic and lyrical performance of the rarely heard Delius Piano Concerto. The rest of the program comprises a cosmopolitan and interesting collection of smaller recital pieces, recorded between 1925 and 1950. Listen to the slightly abridged performance of Godowsky's "Die Fledermaus" concert paraphrase and you'll think you are listening to several pianists and several pianolas at work. I especially like the cultured, controlled performance of Debussy's "Clair de lune". Audio quality, sometimes of demonstration quality at the time the recordings were first issued, is top class in this Ward Marston restoration. Sometimes more surface noise is heard than in other reissues of these items, but that makes me feel (and believe) that I am hearing a full reproduction of the original recording. This is the sixth Moiseiwitsch CD in a Naxos "Great Pianists" series, a series I can heartily recommend.

This series continues and adds a real rarity.......2003-02-25

This is the sixth of the Moisewitsch reissues on Naxos. It contains mostly short pieces often played by him as encores. This release contains a couple of high points, for me. The Ravel 'Jeux d'eaux,' while not one of my favorite pieces, is played to a fare-the-well here by Moisewitsch.

By far the most interesting thing here is the Delius Piano Concerto with Constant Lambert conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra, recorded in 1946. First of all, the Delius is a rarity in itself. Second, Moisewitsch, who championed this concerto throughout his career, plays it lovingly and makes as much as can be made of this admittedly somewhat loosely constructed piece.

The rush is back.......2002-12-30

Lalo Schifrin, after his success with the first Rush Hour film, returns again to score the sequel. I gave the first score 5 stars and this one 4 because the first one had the better music, but this one sounds much, much better. The first one contained more of guitars and synths and things of that nature with an orchestra. This one contains primarily a symphony orchestra which makes it sound so much better. The main theme is back, this time in a much more orchestral manner with Asian style percussion and woodwinds. "Out of the Way" is an exciting action cue containing great brass punches and thrilling string lines. "Mu Shu Parlor" contains Schifrin's Chinese like music that he used in the first film. "Parlor Fight" contains some meaty brass, Asian type woodwinds, and powerful percussion. "Isabella" contains a sultry love theme and "Nevada Mood" utilizes a jazz ensemble. "The Cosmo Is Las Vegas" contains big band type music along with pounding drums in a Chinese like fashion. The last 3 tracks contain some good action music. 2 tracks in the middle, "Lil' Darlin" and "Shiny Stockings" could have been left out because they do not really fit well into the music, except maybe "Nevada Mood". The orchestra does a nice job doing the music and i'm looking forward to Schifrin's work on Rush Hour 3 (if there is one, which I hope there is).

Some of the best film music around.......2001-10-06

Perhaps the most intriguing part about this amazing music is the great difference from the first movie in the series. I found that this music was even better, considering Schifrin used a Symphony Orchestra instead of an orchestra with guitars and other fancy stuff. The music is outstanding; it simply depicts the movie so well behind the hilarious actions and remarks of the film's two main actors. The main theme is outstanding, especially the opening part of the movie. When such a great theme is used and changed in the movie according to the given mood, there is a successful film score. It blows my mind how such beautiful orchestral music can peacefully exist with the comedic, changing plot of the movie, where there are many other musical features as well. The excitement of the score is its truly best feature; the first movement takes you into Hong Kong, making the movie sound like a journey and such. This, along with the score to the original Rush Hour, are fabulous works and need to be bought by anyone who simply loved the movie or that loves new and interesting film music!

Rush to get this one.......2002-11-28

Lalo Schifrin has done it again. His trademark urban funk rhythms and orchestral passages, along with Chinese melodies are present here that give the score a great rating. "Main Title" kicks off the score in a great fashion with heavy drum pads, driving brass, throbbing electric guitars, and pounding synth loops. The theme is quoted in a few other tracks and in full form in "Lee Arrives In L.A." and "End Titles". The action music is dynamite and is featured in "Jumping The Bus", "Battle At Juntao's", "Chasing Sang", and "On Juntao's Heels", among others. The action music is complete with driving brass, synths, and percussion. In addition to the main theme, another theme is featured in "Soo Yung's Theme", which is a delicate little theme played on strings that sounds excellent. A few Chinese inspired cues are also present and are cleverly put in to the score such as "Won Ton For Two", "Greasy Egg Rolls", and "Sweet And Sour". I'm glad that Schifrin's own record label Aleph is coming out with his scores of new and old. This one is difficult to find, but if you find it, by all means get it!

Very Good.......2001-06-12

I bought the soundtrack for Rush Hour after I saw the movie, because I wanted to hear the Chinese and American songs on it. I was not disappointed in the least. The CD perfectly mixes a couple kinds of music, al the while keeping in the style of the film. If you haven't seen the movie, I would suggest you do. Even if you don't, you will enjoy the soundtrack. It is a great CD, and it is one of my all-time favorites. Go Schifrin!

A great blend of hip-hop and R&B.......2001-01-15

This CD is a great blend of hip-hop and r&b songs! Don't let the fact that its a film soundtrack bother you, because it is a great all-around CD. It features a few very good, catchy songs, but generally it is even all around. Nothing very special, but it's a great for listening all the way through. I especially liked the terrorsquad song because the lyrics were great, and it had the coolest chorus.

INSPIRED junk is junky, thank god people care for REAL Music..........1998-11-08

I was so glad to see that Rush Hour (number 5 on my top 5 faves) released a Musical Score soundtrack. I was mad when I saw the INSPIRED BY cd from Def Jam Records. All tracks (on the SCORE cd) are great. They capture the style of former Mission: Impossible composer Lalo Schifren. (Sorry if I spelled it wrong) Rush Hour is a great movie and it's about time someone releases a great soundtrack to accompany it. - SK
