Anyway, that being said, my favorite soundtrack records would be: American Graffiti - The first record I ever bought for myself. Pure perfection from beginning to end, the songs work brilliantly in the film and of course all of these were huge hits anyway. How can you lose starting with "Rock Around The Clock" and finishing with "All Summer Long"? And some JC: Frankie Lymon's "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" is on it as well. I Am Sam - Just out this year, I love this one from start to finish. Beatles covers...hard to miss when you're singing these great songs. Badly Drawn Boy - About A Boy - It's a soundtrack! It's a solo recording! It's 2...2...2 discs in one! Whatever it is, it's infectious as hell and I never tire of hearing it. The Beatles - Yellow Submarine: Some fun original songs, but what I really like on this record is the orchestrated instrumentals by Sir George Martin. Luffly! Harry Nilsson - The Point: I remember watching this on the ABC Tuesday movie of the week, and then getting the LP (well, talking my sister into getting it because she had a job) and listening to it over & over & over & over.... Until The End Of The World - This one's so awesome it even features a good Jane Siberry track! ;~) A couple of throwaways, but mostly haunting stuff from a variety of artists. As far as Broadway soundtracks go, I always put West Side Story on the top of my list. As much as I love the Rodgers musicals both with Hart & Hammerstein, there is not one of them that is strong (song for song) as WSS in my book. Pippin also has to go on my list. Great songs, scads of unbelievable memories... That's enough for now.

It is a hoot! Anyway, here are my Top Ten Desert Island Original Broadway Cast Albums: 1. West Side Story (Don't argue with Bob Muller. He's a Broadway queen from way back) 2. Funny Girl (OBCA surpasses even the great soundtrack) 3. Candide (the original, or any of the revivals) 4. Carousel (the best of Rogers and Hammerstein) 5. Sweeney Todd (Sondheim's masterpiece) 6. Parade (the most underrated musical of our time) 7. Kiss Me Kate (still the freshest and most literate musical of them all) 8. The Lion King (deserves all the praise and rewards it has received) 9. Hair (rocked the foundations of Broadway) 10. Show Boat (the mother of all musicals) Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 20:52:38 +0800 (PHT) From: Subject: Re: 10 Desert Island Soundtrack Albums, Bob, njc I always liked THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS by Dave Grusin. Maybe because I like the film, too. The opening track "Welcome to the Road" was especially bouyant and has this sad tinge. Also, some tracks from Benny Goodman and the Duke Ellington Trio, plus the sexy vocals of Michelle Pfeiffer in such songs as "Makin' Whoopee" and "My Funny Valentine". When the intrumentals are viewed in the context of the film, its really quite poignant, most especially if you know the music by heart. Ennio Morricone's CINEMA PARADISO, THE MISSION and LOVE AFFAIR were really atmospheric music. String-laden usually, the songs were most evocative even without the visuals that accompany them. In CINEMA PARADISO, "Song for Elena" and "First Kiss and First Fellini" were standouts. In THE MISSION, "Gabriel's Oboe" and "On Earth as it is in Heaven" were aural delights. But LOVE AFFAIR is quite unmatched in its still beauty. The leitmotiv is this song that has a subtle crescendo that lovingly paints a love affair doomed from the start. The cathartic elements of the reworked leitmotiv in the closing credits still used the elements of the recurring theme, but this time, and oh-so-quietly, inserted something upbeat and happy without necessarily creating dance-like rhythmns. Gabriel Yared's ROOM WITH A VIEW is also a desert-island pick. It started with a Kiri Te Kanawa vocal of "O Mio Babbino Caro" and the rest are remembered music one can't get out of one's head. Beautifully melancholy. Te Kanawa's aria from La Rondine was also touching. But the music stands on its own without visuals, too. Finally, THE PRINCE OF TIDES. The music's quite good, too. Makes you apreciate cafe apres midi and the musical equivalent of unexplainable loneliness that afflicts adults. Although I could do without Barbra Streisand's vocals, her one vocal called "Places That Belong To YOu" was quite good. Although I am not a fan of Streisand, I like the music that accompanied the bittersweet scenes. This film works well if one watches the film (but those towards-the-end Nolte-Streisand scenes were cringe-inducing but complemented at least by good music from James Newton Howard). As for musicals, MISS SAIGON is quite compelling. Maybe because Lea Salonga sings so exquisitely. joseph in manila ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 08:52:24 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@fluor.com Subject: Re: 10 Desert Island Soundtrack Albums, Bob, njc <<4. Carousel (the best of Rogers and Hammerstein)>> I would have to agree with you (the GENUINE BQ!) on this selection, Jerry, and I almost added it to my list (but I didn't want to take ALL the best ones! ;~) Dire Straits kicks off their superb "Making Movies" record with an excerpt from "The Carousel Waltz"...then there are the classic songs, "If I Loved You", "You'll Never Walk Alone", and the piece de resistance, "Soliloquy", which I always wanted to perform on stage but now I'm much too old to be Billy Bigelow. Maybe we can put it on when we're all in the JMDL retirement home. The only real dud in the show is "A Real Nice Clambake". Six degrees to Joni? Well, Mark Knopfler recorded with Chet Atkins (his musical mentor) and Chet recorded BSN.

A cover of "Woodstock" came on by "Matthew's Southern Comfort" or some name like that - it was the worst piece of junk I have heard in a long time - I wanted to smash the CD. Speaking of "The Last Waltz", I saw it on tv for the first time about a month ago. I thought joni's version of Coyote was terrific, better than the album. Even my older brother was impressed - although he thought Joni was "Melanie" until I straightened him out. I told him comparing Melanie to Joni was like comparing a Yugo to a Bentley - he got the message.

I remember that even my sister had the 45 of the MSC version. And many of the other Woodstocks I've uncovered were inspired by the MSC cover. But as always, to each his own...in defense of your opinion, it is a bit dated sounding now. Now if you want to hear some truly horrid Joni covers, I CAN set you up.

She looks so fecking beautiful! Then I gots a hankerin' for Shadows and Light. Fired up the DVD player and got into it like I was there. However I still have issues with the lip-sync! It is off, especially on Raised on Robbery, Free Man, and Shadows and Light (in certain scenes.) Furry Sings the Blues is the one to compare all the rest to. Amelia is also dead on. I'm wondering if some of this was shot on 2 different nights and then spliced together- Especially Robbery, where you can clearly see Brecker playing the sax in one scene, and there is no sax on the audio track. Then it cuts into a shot where he starts playing. Also check out her guitar strumming, and what Don Alias is playing on video as opposed to what you hear. However, I still love this video, since it was the first concert tour of hers that I ever got to experience...

This two-CD set is comprised of selections from the best of the multitrack recordings of the Revue's celebrated performances in Worcester, Cambridge, Boston, and Montreal. The track list will be announced soon. A bonus DVD packaged with the set will include two songs from Bob Dylan's film Renaldo and Clara, remixed for 5.1 surround sound.

I am not sure whether or not you know this, Bob, but Joni was a part of the Rolling Thunder review . . . so maybe she's featured in this new release, unless it's all Dylan stuff.

Yeah, I said to my friend at work that I like Joni Mitchell and the first thing he said to me was 'have you heard of Melanie?'. I hadn't so he played me a record. The first thing I did was laugh. I now like a few songs by her ('Tuning My Guitar' and 'Babe Rainbow') but no she isn't quite in the same league. LOL. Steve T.

My "business" doesn't show any profit, and I'm not up to Enron's or Tyco's tricks! ;~) Seriously, that's cool about that release...I wonder if the DVD/CD releases will include any of the Joni recordings. She sang a couple different songs on a couple different dates, "Don't Interrupt The Sorrow" was probably the most interesting, although I enjoy her taking a verse on the "This Land Is Your Land" encore.
