movie review.......2007-06-25

Having never been to Paris and always wanting to, this film served as a good introduction to the vast number of neighborhoods that make up the city. The only one i've known about was Montmartre, the neighborhood on the hill which is Paris' highest elevation. But with that said, this film is not really an examination of all these neighborhoods. All they really do is serve as a backdrop to the human drama and comedy that make up the 18?-is-it?, mini-stories that make up this film. Each segment begins with the name of the particular neighborhood the segment takes place in.
The entire film kept me interested throughout except for a couple of the entries. There were moments of positively enraptured elegance and mystery.....I think my favorite segment starred Juliet Binoche as a grieving mother who is visited by a ghostly cowboy played by Willem Defoe who asks her if she wants to see her son. A romantic light/drama set in the overwhelming Paris cemetary was a highlight("friends stab you in the front"-Oscar Wilde) and comic relief with Steve Buchemi set in the Paris Metropolitan(their subway system)was welcomed. A man learns that his wife has leukemia just as he was preparing to split up with her. A comical portrait of a mime takes place around the Eiffel Tower. The final segment featuring a lonely American woman vacationing by herself in the Paris she has always dreamt of reaching, I'm not sure how i feel about it. I feel sad for her despite her segment-ending revelation that Paris has made her understand and appreciate that she is alive. This will be a good purchase when it comes out on DVD. See it in your theaters is you get a chance

The American Experience Encapsulated.......2007-06-23

For more than twenty years now, I've been listening to this haunting music and it has never dulled. Revisiting it now, in my forties, I find it overwhelmingly sad....tracks #2 "Poverty" and #3 "Deborah's Theme" crystallize what I think is the theme of the movie: how a group of young people coming of age just when the country itself is coming into its own can, like the leadership of the country, make choices that impact the rest of their lives. Can they....can the country...find redemption? Like great fiction, and, many would say, like the movie, it has different meanings as you listen to it at different stages in your own life. I call that music for the ages. This one will be regarding as a classic long after my generation has left the earth.

Best Album Ever!.......2007-06-13

I've hundreds of movie soundtracks but this far by the best soundtract I've heard...The quality of the CD and the music from Morricone is timeless. The music is so haunting and so melancholic that feel inside of you. I highly recommend this album.

Once Upon a Time in America Soundtrack.......2007-03-18

For years I have trying to find this! It is beyond wonderful and moving!

One of the best movie soundtracks.......2007-03-08

Of all the soundtracks I own, this is probably the best. Morricone's skills and talent are evident on this CD. The information in the included leaflet give even more insight into the filming and composing of this classic film.

Timeless.......2005-02-24

You will not go wrong with this album. Every track is a masterpiece. If you loved the movie, you must have the accompanying soundtrack. I've had it for 15 years and when the mood strikes, there is nothing like it. Now, this version also comes with a few unreleased tracks. You can't lose!

Another Morricone Masterpiece.......2007-01-24

Once Apon a Time in The West...have you seen the movie? Have you ever heard of this movie? If you are a 'western' freak, a spaggetti western tragic, a serious film student or immersed in popular cultural history it is hard to imagine how powerfull Sergio Leone's westerns would have been without the creative magic of Morricone's musical soundtracks.
Putting an accurate finger on the pulse of these gems is not easy.If you are connected to where music can take you......go along for this ride.I've seen recently that Morricone is touring...performing these tracks.Catch him while you can.

Haunting and Evocative.......2006-02-07

Ennio Morricone's score for THE GOOD,THE BAD AND THE UGLY is probably more recognizable to most people but I think this is some of the most stirring and majestic music ever created for a film; Morricone uses a symphony augemented by other instruments and the result: the best mix of harmonica, orchestral instruments and electric guitar and banjo ever. Once you hear it you will never forget it. Beautiful stuff.

Astoundingly beautiful music from the quintessential western opera!.......2006-01-20

It is not an exaggeration to say that the music on this CD is incredibly beautiful. And if ever anything has been composed that evokes the images and emotions of the West-this is it! Strange that a bunch of italians produced a western movie that captures this genre in a way that makes John Wayne look like a city slicker!! See the movie and buy the music and on this CD-it has additional songs that aren't usually put on the soundtrack. The songs are hauntingly beautiful, lonely, and the images in your head will be those of the vast, open western landscape-from Nebraska to Arizona. And, of course, the drama and emotions of the characters.
In the director's discussion of the movie, it was said that the movie was written to the music. A must have. . .

Ennio Morricone's grand musical score for "C'era una volta il West".......2005-08-14

John Williams gets a lot of the credit for the revival of the motion picture film score, mainly on the strength of his work for "Jaws" and "Star Wars." I can remember reading the linear notes for the double-album of the later which explained how each character had a theme and how Williams wove these all together. That was all impressive, and "Star Wars" is certainly on my list of Top 10 soundtracks of all time, but I saw "Once Upon A Time In The West" a decade earlier and so I know that Ennio Morricone had already done that. For me in the decade of the Sixties the only other comparable film scores for an epic film are what Maurice Jarre did for "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago." Still, I will maintain that no film score in that decade was as important to the story being told as Morricone's score for "C'era una volta il West."

Pertinent Aside: There is much to be said for composers who work with particular directors to great success. This would obviously include John Williams and Steven Spielberg, Maurice Jarre and David Lean, Bernard Hermann and Alfred Hitchcock, and Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone. For that last pair, "C'era una volta il West" represents each at their peak. No wonder this Spaghetti Western is a mythic representation of the Old West.

I am still fascinated by how Morricone employs variations of his themes. The main title theme sounds like a classical composition, with the soaring voices of the Modern Singers of Allessandroni, but then comes back as a simple violin piece for "A Dimly Lit Room." "As a Judgment" uses the fuzz of an electric guitar to establish the movie's "showdown" theme, while "Farewell to Cheyenne" weaves together whistling and the rhythm of a horse clopping along the trail. Morricone strips down the latter to be "The First Tavern." "Man With a Harmonica" has the wailing of the title instrument but with the underlying theme of "As a Judgment" working through it until we finally find out at the point of dying why Harmonica wants Frank dead. But the composer also strips the underlying music down farther in "The Man," while the harmonica becomes totally distorted in "Death Rattle." Morricone even anticipates the "Star Wars" music for the Cantina band with his old "Bad Orchestra."

Of course, now that I have listened to the score again I have to follow up by watching the movie, which remains my favorite western (and the first classic in the genre I actually got to see in a movie theater as opposed to discovering on television decades later). But I have to do that because ultimately it is a grave disservice to divorce the soundtrack from the movie, because there are so many key sequences where Morricone's music replaces the dialogue. This is especially true of the climatic duel between Harmonica (Charles Bronson) and Frank (Henry Fonda), and the entire end title sequence where Jill (Claudia Cardinale) brings out the water to the men working on the railroad. In fact, I think I can make a very good case that no other film score in movie history is as important to the story and as prominent in the overall equation of the film as what Morricone composed for "C'era una volta il West."

Of course, you can only come to this score through the film, and once you have seen the film there is no need to convince you of either the effectiveness or the importance of this score. Finally, I want to contend what we have here is the best film score not to be nominated for an Oscar and in case you were wondering the best film score to be nominated but not win is Randy Newman's one for "The Natural." Both are among the film scores nominated for consideration in the American Film Institute's 100 Years of Film Scores (which is, apparently, simply going to be a concert at the Hollywood Bowl on September 23, 2005 and not a list like AFI has put out for the Top 100 Movies, Songs, Quotes, etc. Morricone's scores for "The Mission," "Once Upon a Time in America," and "The Untouchables" have been nominated as well, but this one is still the best of the bunch by far.

The Master of Soundtracks.......2005-04-06

When speaking about soundtracks,There is only one true master and his name is Ennio Morricone. The "Once Upon A Time In The West", the Import version, is a true gem. It took me 37 years to find this soundtrack and it will always be a treasure. One of the features of the Import version are the 7 bonus tracks. It is hard to imagine owning this soundtrack, without hearing "Morton".For those who remember the movie, know all the main charaters had their own specific tune. I wish Morton's tune could have been longer. Who can forget the hypnotic harpsichord, associated with Jill in the movie, on the opening title track. This soundtrack is truly a masterpiece and Ennio Morricone's best.

When we bought the second volume of Mcleods Daughters I wasn't so sure that it would be as good as the first one but I was definatley wrong, there is such a mixture of happy songs and sad songs which brings back so many memories from the series. I can't wait for them to release another CD.If you are a fan of Mcleods and have not bought this then do you will have hours of endless memories from the series

i grew up in the area that mclouds daughters was filmed... and its great to see that it is on TV and on CDs in stores in America where i now live... i have met most of the cast and crew when they were filming the first season... and they are great people and it is excellent to see the sucess soar above all expectations.... oh and for all you who are wondering... Nick is even more attractive in person (and you didnt think it was possible)

Songs of the Outback.......2005-10-12

As an avid fan of the show the music is the next best thing to seeing it. It is produced in Australia so we don't get to see enough episodes. That is why the the background songs are very endearing. It has a quality that is different than most and is hard to put it in a specific genre.

My Fiance Is Currently Running A Goonies Motion Picture Score Release Campaign.......2007-03-09

If you're wanting the original filmscore music of the talented Dave Grusin that is heard and enjoyed in the actual film by thousands,you may be interested in knowing that my fiance, Chris is currently in contact with Varese Sarabande Records about releasing the much-coveted music to fans for the first time.Varese recently released Grusin's own Lucas score, and before that, the much- desired Ghostbusters. Like so many of you, Chris has wanted the score since he was very young, and now in his twenties, he is trying to do something about seeing that you all (not to mention himself) finally receive what is deserved.We've been denied for too long!!

This soundtrack collection of pop songs is fine for nostalgia reasons, but if you want the score music, (not the re- orchestrated music from the over-rated Best Of Adventure CD)you need to sign Chris'petition, which is on [...] has a message board, on which he has been posting all of his progress thus far being made with Varese Sarabande's Soundtrack Club Dept.According to Varese, they are very interested in offering the score, but need ample proof that it will sell. Chris has already submitted many of these disgruntled reviews to them, and according to Varese, their office has been flooded lately with requests via email/telephone.

There is contact information for Varese on their site, or through Chris' posting on thegoonies.org, under the miscellaneous tab. The post is called, "Hoping To Start Things Up".You can also access these links through www.grusin.net (The Dave Grusin Archive)through their Goonies page as well.

If you want Dave Grusin's beautiful,rich score as it was intended to be heard, please support the cause.Sign the petition, contact Varese Sarabande.Thank you!

...* Goonies Never Say Die *..........2006-06-04

"The Goonies" pop soundtrack capures the fun-loving decade of the '80s and listening to these songs makes various scenes from the movie come to mind in vivid detail. My favorite track off the CD is probably REO Speedwagon's "Wherever You're Goin' (It's Alright)". I also quite like Philip Bailey's "Love Is Alive" because that song played during the part in the movie where Troy catapults Brand off the side of the cliff in that little girl's, pink, training bike. Classic! Who could forget Cyndi Lauper's "The Goonies 'R Good Enough" track; not me. I love this song as well, and it brings back some incredible memories of the '80s and from this movie specifically.

NOW.. to address the film score controversy.. There is some debate to whether or not the entire film score was ever released the UNITED STATES. Many say it was simply a bootleg that got around in small circles. (Go to soundtrack.com to learn more about the film score.) That said, I DO know, however, that the film score WAS recorded as a 'world premier recording' on the CD, "The Best Of Adventure". I have this cd, and the Goonies score on it is, quite simply, AMAZING! I'm not kidding, when I played it for the first time, I actually teared up. So nostalgic and beautiful. The recording on this CD is almost 19 minutes long; it was recorded by the City of Prague Philharmonic. This is the ONLY legitimate cd that the entire Goonies film score was ever released on; the booklet in this CD, "Best of Adventure" also confirms that the recording is a 'world premier' for the Dave Grusin Goonies film score.

There are bootlegs being circulated with The Goonies film score on it on eBay. Some of these pirated CD's have so called 'previously unreleased' tracks from the film. These eBay sellers blatantly lie and trick and try to pass these cd's off as original 'imports' from Japan etc. Some people will believe anything, so I am here to set the record straight and tell you the truth. I have even found that one eBay seller from California has gone as far as changing his user ID three times to try to get away with selling a slick looking bootleg. This particular pirated CD is a 2 'gold' CD Goonies Dave Grusin film score that also has a so called gold coin prop replica and two bumper sticker decals along with the pirated music. I am keeping a record of what he has been up to. As an AVID official Goonies collector, eBay seller and also a professional Graphic Designer, I hate to see people getting ripped off by greedy liars who know Photoshop too well and who visit Knikos too often. I could go on about exactly how these bootlegs were constructed and believe me I could whip up an exact repliac within a day.. yup, even down to the printed on gold discs, 'high quality' decals, 'unreleased tracks', photo booklet and the gold coin replica. Anyways, consider this information as a buyer beware, word to the wise, warning. All cd's other than Best of Adventure with The Goonies film score are pirated. So there is no confusion, there IS a legitimate Japanese POP soundtrack import, which you can see from the Amazon picture above, but there is NO such thing as a Japanese film score CD or any other film score CD other than "Best Of Adventure".

Who knows if the entire score will ever officially be released in the USA as well, but, in my opinion, to have found the "Best Of Adventure" cd is even better than finding One Eyed Willie's rich stuff. While I think of it, who knows whether Warner Brothers will FINALLY let Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg make an amazing sequal to The Goonies. All of the stars are up for it as well, but NOOO, Warner Brothers had to go and screw it up! (Okay, enough stealing Mouth's lines). haha.

I really feel that, in order to get the film score released officially in the USA, and also in order to get the sequal made (before everybody starts looking like One Eyed Willie) is THE PEOPLE. The people like us who love this movie and who dream BIG. Like Mikey said, it's OUR time down here; so start writing, Warner Brothers, people; let your voices be heard. It's our time.. Never Say Die.

Film Scores going the way of the dinosaurs!!!!.......2006-05-22

I am film score buff, and this is the thing about soundtracks that gripes me the most. To me the film score is what gives the film its soul, its personality. I hate when I have gone to see a movie and just absolutely fallen in love with the score, then go to buy the soundtrack only to find out that it is a blasted soundtrack album of pop songs that weren't even in the movie to begin with!!! There are so many beautiful scores out there that haven't even had a soundtrack release to speak of.

only 3 stars......o.k.songs, not enough film score !!!!!!!.......2006-03-13

i MUST agree with all of you. they really should have added much more of the film score to this cd. it is pathetic!
as far as the pop songs go, the worst of the lot is cyndi lauper's "what a thrill", a headache inducing, noise pollution of a song. what a waste, as i call it!!
"save the night" by joseph williams provides guitar driven and bouncy pop rythms to the soul catching quiet sound of "she's so good to me" by the late luther vandross,[sadly one of his few least known AND heard songs by him.]
"14k" by teena marie, another non heard of gem contains one of her better vocal singing in her career. her voice melding to the rock beats, blending seamlessly together making it one of the better tracks here.
R.E.O. speedwagon's "wherever your goin', it's alright" is also a guitar driven piece of rock and roll.
the bangles "i got nothing", the fastest song on the album, is a savory harmonistic little pop song.
philip bailey lends his talents to a well produced written track as good as his other well known hits. another treasure by him.
my least favorite is "8 arms 2 hold u" by the goon squad.
a song cut from the film involving the octopus sequence, also edited.
but i gotta tell ya'.......I WOULD RATHER OWN THE FILM SCORE!!
THESE ROCK SONGS ARE DISPOSABLE AND WORTHLESS COMPARED TO THE FILM SCORE!!! PLEASE RELEASE DAVE GRUSIN'S MUSIC!!!!!!!!

great soundtrack but score is better.......2003-07-15

I have listened to this soudtrack and it is preaty cool,but the score is even better.If they did bring the score out I would bye it but then again why buy it when I own it.

Ghost in the shell series.......2007-01-09

Great tracks fromt the entire CD. I look forward to any further efforts from Kenji Kawai.

1 Star for Ghost in the Shell.......2006-02-01

What an incessently annoying score this is! There are few times where I so feverishly hated what a composer was doing to my ears. I have about 400 scores in my collection, and this one is in my top 5 most hated. Absolutely atrocious.
It's hard for me to describe the actual music in detail, because there's such little music to describe. This CD is more like one of those sound effects collection CD's you buy at the loonie store for 2 bucks. How people love it is beyond me - it's there opinion, to be sure, but I sure can't agree with it.
If you're looking for melodical music, or action music, or beautiful music, or basically interesting music of any kind, look elsewhere. This isn't a popular opinion, I know, but it's my personal feelings of hatred towards this "score". Do yourself a favour and go buy a score that will really give you some great music, like Passion of the Christ, or House of Sand and Fog, or Rabbit Proof Fence, or Requiem for a Dream. Not this thing, which couldn't carry a tune if it held it in a bucket.

Ancien Japanese and Cantonese.......2006-01-02

It's great music.you don't have to see movie to enjoy this music.even I don't understand lyric still like it.Lyric of track 1,5 and 10 must be written with ancien Japanese probably around 4 or 5 century. I can pick some words but can't make sense from there. then track 11 is Cantonese of cause I don't understand but I like the song.Talk about track 11, English title is never presented anywhere on CD or liner note.All I get from liner note is lyric writing by Pong Canck Man, sing by 15 years old girl Fang Ka Wing, how Kawai struggle to find right person to sing and all these happen because Oshii wants short Cantonese song. but when I play this CD with my computer while connecting internet,media player shows track 11 title as " See you eveyday " I could be wrong but that must be the English translasion.

bonus track? not quite..........2003-11-20

For those of you who are still clueless as to why track 11 was included in the soundtrack, go watch the movie again. If you listen carefully you can hear the song playing in the background during the chase scene in the market place. FYI, the song's in "cantonese" not japanese.

Great.......2003-10-08

I loved this... although the Track (11) is titled wrong. The real title is 11 - "Complex Universe."

If you really like 70's themes, you should like this CD. It was a little too dated for me.

Bond and beyond on an excellent career retrospective........1998-08-25

Imitation is often considered the greatest form of flattery. John Barry's oeuvre has been sampled by dozens of contemporary musical artists, and he is often credited as being the godfather of "trip hop" (check recent albums by Portishead and Mono to hear the Barry influence). The Academy-award winning composer has been producing music for over forty years, but this collection focuses on the artist's most commercially successful period, the 1960's. The instantly recognizable and inimitable Barry style is well documented throughout 23 varied compositions. Selections range from classic to obscure, and include all the title tracks from the early James Bond soundtracks. Barry's film and television music is the defining sound of that era - lush orchestrations, cool jazzy riffs, pure excitement. "Themeology" is an excellent starting point for the novice collector and equally attractive for the long-time admirer.

Customer Reviews:

Truly Beautiful.......2004-05-05

This compilation is one of the most moving collections of music that I've heard. It's power are emotion are matched to such treasures as Pet Sounds. You may be initially turned off by the price but don't be. If purchased, this cd set will become a favorite, one that you will not grow tired of in time. I owned this cd and made the mistake of sharing it with a friend. Needless to say the cds were never returned. I searched for over a year to replace it. Unfortunately no one was stocking it. Its great to see that Amazon.com now has it in their catelogues. Buy it before it disappears forever!!!

Not for all Trance lovers. Only for die-hard Oakenfold fans........2004-01-29

This is very early Trance/Techno that is mixed well but not as well as some of Oakenfold's better works like Tranceport (his best CD to date) or Great Wall (His 2nd best).

This is more industrial club DJ music that is fast trance, with lots of very early beeps and beats. I would only recommend this one if you are a die-hard Oakenfold fan or if you want to listen to some fast trance with lots of fast drums. It does not really peak as much as his better CDs and certainly is devoid of the magic, but there is a DJ in the making here. This may have been good for its time but there is a lot better Oakenfold out there (and some worse ones!) when all is said and done.

This is very fast and early and not the best Oakenfold you can start with. I certainly recommend Tranceport over this one or Great Wall and prefer those CDs to this one but as you can see die-hard lovers of Oakenfold will rate this CD highly. I would not recommend starting here though.

The best blend of classical and electronica ever........2003-12-13

I was fortunate enough to get this first time around in the UK (The 2 disc version), where it failed to sell many copies on release unfortunately. But it is probbaly my most played album over the past few years.

The true talent of Oakenfold shines through here, as both a mixer and also as an ear for great music. The way the music flows from beautiful classical score to deep and thoughtful trance and back again has never been bettered. This is one of the few albums that I would say is beautiful, perfect for listening to in a darkened room or with your eyes closed.

I am even more impressed now as a number of these artists were not even household names in their own house at the time. The brilliant Astral Projection, Transa, Y Traxx and Man With No Name steal the show in my opinion but the album in quality from start to finish.

Disc 1 starts in chill out mode and regularly returns there in between some very cool sections of Goa and Trance.

Disc 2 is slightly harder overall but starts out with the achingly beautiful chimes of Zbigniew Preisner (Craven Leaves), quite possibly one of the most eerily beautiful tunes I've heard in a long long time.

Just out of inteest here is the full track listing (with artist).

Disc 1
01 H.H.C. - We're Not Alone
02 Ryuichi Sakamoto (Duplicate) - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
03 Y Traxx - Mystery Land
04 Red Sun - This Love
05 Ryuichi Sakamoto (Duplicate) - Little Buddha
06 Man With No Name - Teleport
07 Terrorvision - Conspiracy
08 Man With No Name - Sugar Rush
09 Eric Serra - Cute Name
10 State Of Emergency - Banks Of Babylon
11 Juno Reactor - Jungle High
12 Ennio Morricone - Miserere
13 Virus - Moon
14 Grace - If I Could Fly
15 Our House - Floor Space

Disc 2
01 Zbigniew Preisner - Craven Leaves
02 Johann - New Kicks
03 Samuel Barber - Adagio For Strings
04 Astral Projection - Kabalah
05 Wojciech Kilar - Love Remembered
06 Transa - Prophase
07 X-Section - Atlantis
08 Björk & David Arnold - Play Dead
09 Ozaka OZ - Real Nightmare
10 Legend B - Lost In Love
11 Jamie Myerson - Revisions

Truely inspiring, I only wish that there were more like this. 5 out of 5 in any language.

I know I paid only £25 for this (about $25) at the time, but it really is worth the $48 or whatever it is these days. You will never regret it.

One of Oakie's Best by far!.......2003-07-23

This is my 6th addition to my ever growing Oakenfold collection and fuels my ambitions to keep it growing. Fluoro is rated at the top of my collection along with all other Oakie albums i've acquired. The Trance and Break Beats mixed with the Ambience gives this album a balanced fulfillment of what Oakenfold is capable of. I have yet to be disappointed. Five Stars!!!!

oakenfold at his best!!!.......2003-05-17

Paul Oakenfold is without question the most well known dj in the world and although, of late, his musical style has leaned heavily on euro-pop. This recording captures Oakenfold in his prime. The track listing is outstanding. The songs are quality through and through and they do not sound dated such as other compilations of the era. If you are a fan of this type of music, snatch this one up ASAP as it is now out of print. This one is even better than the revered Tranceport. Enjoy!! rock the vote :)
