Writer-director Marc Lawrence's romantic comedy gently satirizes the music industry's past and present via Hugh Grant's Alex Fletcher, a has-been Rock of the '80s icon given another shot at the charts by young pop diva Cora Corman (newcomer Haley Bennett). Grant gives some surprisingly credible--if often gently tongue-in-cheek--performances in his musical debut; indeed, he carries better than half the soundtrack with his earnest vocal charms. The production gets key help from Fountain of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, who contributes a delicious, loving send-up of Wham! courtesy of "Meaningless Kiss," the emotive piano confessional "Don't Write Me Off," and two versions of "Way Back into Love," the comeback ballad/duet that drives the story line. A playful demo version of the latter pairs Grant with co-star Drew Barrymore (playing the florist who becomes Fletcher's unlikely songwriting foil), while Grant's ultimate duet with young Bennett evokes contemporary pop conceits with a keen, affectionate flair that also graces the young singer's Britney-esque "Buddha's Delight," "Slam," and the more obviously snarky "Entering Bootytown." Rounding out the collection are a pair of complimentary tracks by Swedish pop acts: The Sounds' bouncy "Tony the Beat" and the club-slinky groove of Teddybears' "Different Sound." Highlighted by Grant's sympathetic vocals and a knowing musical sensibility that never quite lapses into mere parody, it's a pop-lover's delight from start to finish. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars The Problem Is - I Want More.......2007-07-12

This is another instance where I thought the movie was, ".....eh", but I love the soundtrack.

I was a little irked at what I felt was another attempt to show that the 80s was nothing more than a vapid, superficial decade which only produced goofy, forgettable, lightweight fluff. Yes, there was a lot of that, but there were also many serious, moving, culture-defining moments as well. If we want to assume that "My Humps" summarizes all of the music produced during the current decade, then I'll buy in that "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" was what the 80s was all about.

Anyway, half of songs here are designed to sound like they came out in the mid-80s; obviously the ones Hugh Grant sings on are supposed to be like the equivalent of Wham! (not that Wham! was a synth-pop band, but whatever). And I have to say - they're great songs, and it's a pleasant surprise that Hugh sings; his voice works well with these songs!

When I went to see this movie, people in the audience were laughing at the "music video" for "Pop Goes My Heart", and I was like, "Why are you laughing?? Videos were in its infancy back then, so many of them by today's standards appear kind of goofy!" Awesome song; love the "crash" after "Pop" during the chorus. "Meaningless Kiss" is a great knock-off of "Careless Whisper" (whatever happened to the infamous saxophone solos anyway?). "Tony The Beat" is reminiscent of "Push It" by Salt N' Peppa, and for the longest time I couldn't decide if the singing during the chorus was annoying or not; eventually I decided it wasn't (although just barely).

Now, on the "current day" songs, I love the Haley Bennett songs; the best being "Buddha's Delight" and especially "Entering Bootytown." I know these songs were written to sound like the typical Britney Spears/teen pop music from a few years back, but they're great songs regardless. There's no reason why these songs wouldn't (or shouldn't) be as popular as songs by the artists in which they were inspired by.

I was angered that Haley's songs were so wonderful, but that she was just playing a character for this movie and I'd never hear anything else from her. However, I see that she will be coming out with her own album soon.

I have to commend the writers of the songs on this soundtrack. They wrote songs as if to sound like they came from a specific time period, but still they created some great songs. However the problem with loving songs by these fictional characters is that - you want more, and unfortunately it's just relegated to this one album. If Haley's material sounds anything like what appears on this soundtrack, at least that will pacify my desire to hear more from her.

5 out of 5 stars Music and Lyrics CD.......2007-07-11

Excellent collection of lighthearted songs from the movie. I never knew Hugh Grant had such talent! I memorized all the songs within the first week after buying the CD.

5 out of 5 stars Music and Lyrics Soundtrack.......2007-07-07

I loved this movie, and I have watched it over and over again. The CD is also one of my favorites that I listen to constantly. I was very impressed by the duet, "Way Back Into Love," with Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett. All of Haley's songs were great, especially "Entering Bootytown." This little girl is a cutie, and I expect to see her become a big hit when she releases her first CD, soon. I think Hugh's solo, "Don't Write Me Off," is very good. I had no idea he could sing so well, and Drew Barrymore didn't do bad, either, with her demo version of "Way Back Into Love." It was worth the money just to hear the Haley/Hugh duet of "Way Back Into Love." They made a great team, and the song has wonderful lyrics, with a haunting melody. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

4 out of 5 stars What's Wrong with a Bit of Meaningless Fluff?.......2007-07-06

Oh people...this has NO redeeming features except extraordinary chemistry between always-cute-and-sexy Hugh Grant and remarkably-focused Drew Barrymore in a simply silly but very lovely tale of a self-proclaimed has-been Eighties rocker (Grant)who commandeers his plant-care lady (Barrymore) to write some lyrics he badly needs in 48 hours.

And why does he need these lyrics? Because the greatest female pop icon of all time, Cora (played brilliantly by newcomer Haley Bennett, hilarious as a cross between Britney Spears and Christine Aguilerra) has invited him to join her on her upcoming world tour--IF he can write the "perfect song." This would mean goodbye to performances at county fairs--goodbye to has-been-hood and hello to resurrected rock-hood!

Can they do it? Can they write THE song when they only know each other's names, are completely different in age, temperament, and just about everything else? Hey--this is Hollywood.

Just fun all the way through, and the songs (both from Grant's mythical Eighties band "Pop" and his "new" hits) are actually catchy. Very enjoyable.

5 out of 5 stars Hugh, Drew, and Haley-an awesome musical pair!!.......2007-07-01

When I think of Hugh Grant I think of Elizabeth Hurley's ex with the proper British accent and the 90's floppy hair. I never expected such a beautiful voice!! Wow!!! The songs are beautifully written and Grant's soothing voice over the 80's pop melodies and beautiful piano ballads was addicting! Drew Barrymore and newcomer Haley Bennet, each with their different voices, made listening to the different versions of "Way Back Into Love" very enjoyable.

Is Sarah McLachlan a secret punk rocker? To be sure, her rebellion is hushed. On Afterglow, her first studio album since 1997's Surfacing, McLachlan's music is as tempered as ever; at times even the piano chords at the heart of the sound are tucked neatly beneath layer upon layer of strings and overdubbed voices. Listen to what's being sung within this soothing aural bed, though, and hear the just-before-sleep murmurings of the quietest riot grrl: "I'm a train wreck waiting to happen.... a wildfire born of frustration," "How stupid could I be.... you're no good for me, but you're the only one I see," "I have to push just to see how far you'll go." The latter song ("Push") resolves itself with the assurance, "You complete me." Ultimately, McLachlan fans will be comforted again by what turns out to be her reliably untroubled aesthetic. --Rickey Wright

4 out of 5 stars "I know you can't resist, trying to re-open a sore...".......2007-05-08

Afterglow by Sarah McLachlan is surprisely moving and wonderfully produced. I am not normally a McLachlan super-fan but some of her songs before this album are quite engaging. I decided to give this album a chance, standout tracks include: Time, Perfect Girl, Dirty Little Secret, Stupid, and Answer. Sarah's voice has improved and her lyrics are at its strongest. I could listen to the track, Time all day long, it sucks you in after the first 20 seconds, amazing! So whether you hate or love her, Afterglow will have you bathed in it for awhile. Enjoy!

I know that this review won't be very helpful, all I can say is that I love this album. Been listening to it for a couple of years now, and it's a fave when I'm in a mood to be mellow. I am giving this five stars so that amazon will recommend more music like this in my personal recommendations. Same with Fumbling Toward Ecstasy.

5 out of 5 stars John Rutter Collection.......2007-02-19

This CD is one of several that features Rutter directing his own choir. It has a good cross section of the John Rutter compositions, and is a good starting place for someone who has not heard Rutter's music before. I think you will be "hooked" if you really love choral music.

4 out of 5 stars Typically gorgeous Rutter.......2005-12-20

I love John Rutter's music. Especially the "For the Beauty of the Earth" that is on this CD. Rutter is not the most inventive or varied composer of modern music, but if you have a taste for traditional choral writing with some angelic children's chorus singing, then you will probably share my enjoyment of Rutter's writing. Unfortunately I cannot give this CD 5 stars when it seems there is a drum set tapping annoyingly away on several of the songs. I do not understand this at all and am bothered by it every time I listen to those songs. It's a shame, because otherwise I love the music, and think it is lushly written, and simply but beautifully performed. I would highly suggest listening to sample track 3 before purchasing -- you can hear what sounds like a ride-cymbal right at the very end of the sample. This sound occurs in several of the songs on this recording.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......2005-12-03

I am a huge John Rutter fan. The lilting melodies, the poignant lyrics and the lush orchestrations make his music not only accessable but also uplifting. This compilation, although drawing from many other previous recordings, is a great composite of his wirk. The sound is exquisite. Even if you own other recordings of this music, this is worthwhile.

5 out of 5 stars To sample Rutter's best music, this is the one........2005-06-30

I purchased this CD as an introduction to the music of John Rutter and went on to purchase many more of his compositions. Still, this remains my favorite collection. It is choral music at its absolute finest. Far from "just church music", this CD has songs of faith, a few Christmas carols, a Celtic song for lovers, and even a child's tune or two. While most of the pieces are peaceful, warm, and thought-provoking, a few are up-tempo and lively. In my opinion, it is a perfectly balanced collection in which one song flows beautifully into the next with no sense of a jarring change of pace. If you have any interest in choral music, begin with the best...John Rutter... and this superb arrangement. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars The Best.......2005-04-29

The John Rutter Collection in my opinion is one of the finest and most perfect works I've ever heard. The Cambridge Singers demonstrates the best vocal discipline and style of any vocal group in the world.

A children's album, influenced by James Taylor, Bob Dorough (Schoolhouse Rock) and Randy Newman, Great Big Sun is full of songs that are by turn humorous, educational and poignant yet never lose the wide-eyed naiveté of childhood.·

“Great Big Sun is directly responsible for some of the fondest memories I will have of our twin daughters infancy. In fact, I'm so fond of [Great Big Sun] that I've played it for my own enjoyment when the girls were nowhere near.” - Lou Diamond Phillips, Film Actor

My son heard one of Justin's songs on a kids network. I searched for the CD and I'm so glad I tracked it down. ALL of the songs on this CD are catchy and singable - without driving parents crazy if they have to listen to it over and over.

I have been working backwards through the JR catalog and this second title I own by this artist. Great Big Sun is catchy, humorous, intelligent, soulful (yes I said soulful describing a children's album) and positive. The title track (Great Big Sun) sets a high bar and the tone followed by refreshingly creative new spins on counting ('If you got 1'), the alphabet ('Everything else starts with e' and 'a,b,c,d,e'), and childhood ('Apple tree'). The themes are relevant to life, no matter what age. The only negatives compared to 'Way Out' are the run time is a little short at 31:56 and 'Do You Wanna Go' does not fit in with the other songs in speed or tempo. However, this is music you and your family will enjoy..."Aint gonna let no wolf run my life"...

Hap Palmer may be best known for his vocal contributions to the hugely popular Baby Songs video series, but parents of 2- to 5-year-olds, particularly those with a sturdier than average educational bent, will find a lot to love on Early Childhood Classics: Old Favorites with a New Twist. This release rids itself of tiresome attempts to turn performances of simple songs like "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" into minor personal masterpieces and instead injects its de rigueur dose of creativity directly into familiar lyrics. For instance, while there's the usual cow and pig on Old MacDonald's farm, we're also introduced to Henrietta's House, where there's a cat, Zebediah's zoo with its tiger, and the puppy in Pamelina's pet shop. Similarly, instead of the usual "Pat-a-Cake" cliffhanger, where the cake's put in the oven and that's all she wrote, we get to hear the ding-ding-ding when it's done and layer on the frosting. The sequence of songs is repeated instrumentally after Palmer's interpretations to allow for sing-alongs and the dreaming up of more new lyrics--a useful device for caregivers who think like teachers (those who don't, though, can make use of clever movement and activity suggestions in the liner notes). Each song's wordplay and simple rhymes are catchy enough to fall into the can't-fail category when it comes to enhancing vocabulary, phonics, and vocabulary skills, and the surprise lyrics lend themselves nicely to attentive listening. Early Childhood Classics delivers old-fashioned fun in a satisfyingly unsplashy way. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

Here is a joyful collection of all time favorite activity songs for young children. Hap Palmer's unique renditions preserve the charm and simplicity of traditional songs while adding new, original lyrics and melodies to extend and enrich the familiar classics.

The simplicity and repetition of these songs guarantee active participation by encouraging children to sing and move with the music. While having fun and participating actively, children develop motor and musical skills and learn about animals, counting, identification of body parts, and phonics. As children sing along, responding to the imagery and humor of the lyrics, reading readiness is also enhanced. Alliteration and rhyme develop a child's ear for the sounds of language - an important pre-reading skill.

These songs are developmentally appropriate for the very young child - infant to 5 years. However, the familiar melodies and contemporary arrangements also elicit surprisingly gusty participation from first and second grade students. A variety of musical styles adds new life to well known songs with swing, blue grass, country, classical, rock, pop, and blues arrangements.

Fifteen songs are presented with vocal interpretation. The sequence is then repeated instrumentally providing opportunities for singing along and creating new lyrics using children's ideas. The instrumental selections also familiarize children with the sounds of a variety of musical instruments including piano, bass, drums, guitar, violin, viola, cello, trumpet, trombone, tuba, French horn, saxophone, flute, English horn, accordion, and a variety of percussion instruments such as conga drums, bougaraboo drum, ouiro, shaker, wood block and tambourine.

The instrumental versions of each song can be used in the following ways:

1. After children have learned words with the vocal version, they can sing along hearing only the music.

2. Children can create their own lyrics and sing the song using their ideas.

3. The music can accompany sessions in movement exploration and creative movement.

Suggestions for activities and variations are not limited to those presented in this guide book. There are endless possibilities awaiting your creative impulse.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best young children's CDs!.......2006-02-24

My almost 4 year old is a huge Hap Palmer fan, and it's catching on to me. Just listen to one of his CDs, and you'll understand. This one in particular is great. I love how he makes beloved children songs even better. I never thought I'd be just as happy to hear a children's CD as one of my own, but this is so catchy, and it is priceless hearing my young daughter singing along to the words! It's great for her memory skills, remembering and singing to all the songs, and it's great for her learning rhyme and rhythm. The lyrics he adds are sooo fun and cathy and sweet. I love this guy!

I bought this for my daughter, who is two, and my older kids love it as much as she does. Easy to remember lyrics and catchy tunes make this a great cd to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Great music, great twist.......2005-10-28

If standard kid's tunes play in your house or car all day long, you will love this refreshing cd and your kid's won't miss a beat. I don't understand the 2 star review. If you don't like something, that's fine. But the reviewer's logic is very skewed in that they said it didn't meet their expectations, even though 1) The cd was a gift, and 2) The title of the cd tells you that it's not an album of "to-the-letter" standards. So if you don't like the music or your child doesn't like it, fine. But don't rate it down because you had ridiculous expectations from something you didn't even want or buy. If you are open-minded and enjoy good, fun, music you will love this. There is varied musical accompaniment and Hap sings great and truly seems to feel the music (unlike most performers of children's standards). Of course, the ultimate critic is the child. My daughter LOVES this cd (she's 21 months old now and has been listening to it since 12 months). Again, if you want standard kid songs, you may be disappointed with this because the music and words are different (usually, each song starts in a traditional manner but then non-standard lyrics and music follow). But if you want a twist without leaving the traditional songs altogether, buy this. I don't think you will be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars A favorite at library storytime.......2005-10-19

I'm a children's librarian in Illinois and this cd has become one I use at almost every storytime. I especially love "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" because it contains a verse inserted by Hap Palmer which allows me to introduce Shakespeare to the tiniest child. He uses a line from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" -- "silver bow new bent in heaven" to describe the moon. I have entire families singing along, learning a famous quotation painlessly! And it's a beautiful, calming song to use at the end of a storytime. Parents and kids love it!

Album Description

Imagination Movers combine pop, hip-hop, rock and world music with educational themes for kids and their parents. The Movers sing about healthy eating, separation anxiety, sibling rivalry and other topics that relate to being a little kid, but the group's musical style has a decidedly grownup groove. Think Mr.. Rogers meets the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Regardless of how you describe it, Movers music is catchy stuff that parents and children will want to listen to over and over again!

The Movers' new disc, "Calling All Movers," features the band's trademark blend of kid-friendly themes and sophisticated rock and hip-hop music. "Please and Thank You" is a Caribbean-touched homage to every parent's three favorite words. The call-and-response jam "What's in the Fridge" is evidence of the Movers' continued obsession with snack food. And "First Day of School" is a sentimental look at a milestone from a child's point of view. These and 12 other new Movers tunes will be favorites in family CD players for years to come.

5 out of 5 stars The Movers Rock!.......2007-03-13

My 2-year-old loves these guys! Ever since the first time she saw them on Playhouse Disney, they have been her favorite. And now they're mine! All of their songs are loaded with good messages and I love all the musical influences. Each song is different and great in its own way. I just cannot say enough good things about the Movers, and especially this album. Check out "Looking Out the Window" (one of my favorites) and "First Day of School" (my daughter's favorite, along with "I Want My Mommy" from "Good Ideas"). We also bought the Movers' "Good Ideas" album and love that as well (although personally, I prefer this one!). :-)

5 out of 5 stars Fun for Parents, too!.......2007-02-18

This music is GREAT. We are from New Orleans, but unfortunately never attended an Imagination Movers performance! I am kicking myself now. My sons, ages 4 and 2, request this music every time we get in the car. And I enjoy listening and singing along, too. It's like good adult music with kid lyrics. Can't beat it! Thanks you guys.

5 out of 5 stars Think outside the box!.......2005-11-16

This guys are great! Kids love them! Parents can tune out the lyrics and the music will take you back to your college days! I've dropped my kids off at school and continued to listen without them in the car! Baton Rouge, LA

5 out of 5 stars I got it - You get it!.......2004-11-24

We've had Good Ideas for a while and just bought Calling All Movers. Wonderful! Simply wonderful! My kids love the Fridge song and the Recipe song and I like Please and Thank you. Do youself a favor and buy this for your kids because this is real kids music - you'll get hooked too:)

5 out of 5 stars Wow, a pleasant surprize!.......2004-07-31

My son got this as a gift for his 5th birthday. I heard it in the background one afternoon and walked to his room to see what it was. I was shocked when I listened to to lyrics and realized it was music for him. I sat an listened and watched him dance around. Remarkable music. Two thumbs up. One kids size and one grown up. Now I need to get their other CD.

Product Description

Sci-fi rock superstars Warp 11 are back with their much-anticipated fourth studio album, "It's Dead, Jim". From the raw power of "Belt Buckle Tractor Beam", the Ramones-inspired "Tribbles and Ecstasy", the Christian rock anthem "Beam Me Up to Heaven" and the somber trip-rock journey of "Trekquiem", the wickedly funny Warp 11 is clearly at the top of their game. Warp 11 recorded the new release in their hometown Sacramento, California with co-producer Joe Johnson (Cake, Deftones). The album was mastered by Jason Livermore (Ataris, Less Than Jake, Rise Against).

4 out of 5 stars Love the band, but this one fell a little short for me..........2007-06-28

Just as the title of this review suggests, I LOVE Warp 11. They have an extraordinary talent for witty lyrics and great music in all styles they attempt. I was a little disappointed in this release if only for the fact that the previous albums have offered hilarious lyrics that were cleverly structured. This album contains a few of those gems (I'm Dead Jim, Trekquiem, Belt Buckle Tractor Beam, and others) but half the songs seem to be forced, almost disjointed. Red Alert has to be my favorite CD, but seriously, anything from them is good.
Warp! Warp! Warp! Warp! Warp!...Rock on...

5 out of 5 stars The Best CD Ever!.......2007-06-10

This is by far the BEST CD Warp 11 has ever released!!! I didn't think it could get much better than their last CD, Red Alert, but I was wrong! Warp 11 does it again - they bring the humor, the lyrical genious, the catchy tunes, and the sex, drugs, and rockin rollin' FUN! And they're hot too! This is a must listen - I highly recommend it to anyone!!!

5 out of 5 stars Don't let the Star Trek theme fool you.......2007-06-10

Even if your not a fan of Star Trek you'll love the pure musical talent of Warp 11. If you listen to one new band this year make it be Warp 11. With great lyrics and a outsanding sound Warp 11 makes it so.

As someone who works from home, this is a wonderful collection to put on during the day. The beautiful arrangements of some of film's most memorable music is a treat to listen to day in and day out. I was one of those looking for music from the "Cousins" soundtrack. I'm so much happier to have found this CD with more great music than I could've bargained for. I'm very glad to have this in my collection!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A Long Awaited "Gem".......2007-07-09

My LP of this show was totally worn out, so I'm absolutely delighted to have this on such a great sounding CD. Davis is right up there with other musical luminaries such as Hepburn in COCO and Bacall in WOMAN OF THE YEAR and APPLAUSE. All three were non-singers who acted, and their recordings are really just a joy to have to offset soprani like Cook, Chenowith, and Lukker.

This really is a must have recording for any true musical comedy lover who wants the unusual and historical. Davis's "Turn Me Loose on Broadway" is wonderful from her "Mistah conductah, iff You Pleeees" to her slightly off tempo "hey" in the dance break. Davis did try to sing several times through her career. Frank Loesser's "They're Either Too Young or Too Old" has been on a few collections, and there was that failed musical version of THE CORN IS GREEN entitled MISS MOFFAT that closed in Philadelphia. Betty Davis wasn't a good singer, but she tried!

The supporting cast is excellent, and I think it's just a joy to hear an old-school musical by one of the forgotten greats, Vernon Duke. That's why I'm really pleased to have the Duke bonus tracks on the CD as well. It's a great value with Davis, Duke, and Lawrence Welk and his orchestra as well. The album was coveted for years, and it's just wonderful to have it in better sound than it ever was.

3 out of 5 stars Bette Davis in a musical...yes, you heard right.......2006-10-05

Bette Davis in a musical? In 1952, when her film career started on yet another downward spiral and she was unceremoniously labelled as "box office poison", the legendary Ms Davis decided to do the unthinkable, and made her Broadway musical debut in TWO'S COMPANY, a fluffy little revue that would have certainly folded a lot quicker if a mega-watt star like Davis was not in the starring role.

TWO'S COMPANY ran on the box office power of Davis, and the moment she became ill and started missing performances, the closing notices were posted (the show limped along for 90 performances). Nevertheless, this curious jewel of a show was recorded, and now gets it's CD premiere thanks to British boutique label Sepia.

Apparently, Davis was so embarrased by her performance, that she attempted to buy every single copy of the original LP in order to destroy them. One can just imagine Davis (in full Margo Channing mode) swaggering into a record store and slamming a pile of TWO'S COMPANY albums onto the sales counter ("don't bother to wrap `em!").

While Davis was never a singer, she croaks out her songs quite well, and what she lacks in musicality she compensates with comedy and sheer brio.

Performing the more demanding material is Ellen Hanley, known to musical fans for her Tony-winning role as Thea in "Fiorello!"; as well as Adrianna in the 1963 Off-Broadway revival of "The Boys from Syracuse", and replacing Polly Bergen in "First Impressions" (the Jane Austen/'Pride & Prejudice' musical of 1959).

Sepia's remaster of the TWO'S COMPANY album (taken from original 78's) is quite crisp and clean, with some slight hiss and sonic wobble in certain areas (like towards the end of "Haunted Hot Spot"), although we are lucky to have this title on disc in the first place.

Known for their copious bonus tracks, Sepia do not disappoint, and the TWO'S COMPANY disc is filled out with extensive supplementaries (Nancy Walker singing "I Can't Get Started" and Jack Smith with "I'm Gonna Ring the Bell Tonight"); and a whole "Vernon Duke plays Vernon Duke" section.

Now that TWO'S COMPANY has been released on compact disc, we can finally hear what all the fuss was about.
