1.Nightmare Before Christmas by: Various Artists

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Music : Nightmare Before Christmas
List Price: £8.99

The score for the film The Nightmare before Christmas is brilliant in its own strange way. Both the music and the lyrics are written by Danny Elfman, and he also sings the main character of jack Skellington.
The songs are delightful and variated, and you discover something new in the arrangement, every time you listen to them. Besides, the instrumental tracks are beautiful and melancholy, a nice contrast to the humourous and often lively songs. If you like the film or are just a little bit interested in music, you should definetly buy this CD. It has so many great tunes, and the orchestration is just perfect. All in all, a soundtrack quite out of the ordinary.

Tim Burton's cult classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas has always been held a special place in the hearts of countless people - including myself - that have grown up with the film. The creepy hellish innocence that Burton always manages to bring to his films was never so prominent as in this masterpiece.

Now, celebrating it's 15th Anniversary, the re-release of the soundtrack has fully embraced the alternative goth/rock/metal subculture that holds NBC so dearly. The songs we know and love have all been re-invented and some of the choices of acts to undertake this mammoth task are absolutely spot on. Amy Lee's powerful rendition of Sally's Song is incredibly moving, while Korn's interpretation of Kidnap The Sandy Claws is a thrashing ... Read More:

Mainly a collection of vintage rock'n'roll which Ace specialize in but this is a sub genre which had its roots in such as Screammin' Jay Hawkins and John Zacherle-whose Dinner With Drac is on one of the Golden Age series.
The real classic here is Bobby Boris Pickett's Monster Mash and the CD starts off with an airshot of Pickett's speaking voice.It topped the charts in 1962 and finally made it to the U K in 1974.
Informative sleeve notes tell you who all these mostly failed recording artists were and the title is brilliant

I got this CD for my boyfriend for Christmas last year, and he absolutely loves it!
Both of us are Tim Burton and "Nightmare Before Christmas" fans, so of course it wasn't long before I borrowed it for myself.

The first disc is basically the original soundtrack, so if you already have the standard version then you'll already know what tracks are there and how great it is to listen to. A wonderful addition is that the soundtrack has actually been re-mastered, so the music is clearer, and still a delight to hear.

The second disc is where it gets interesting. The first four tracks are songs from the delightful movie performed by well known artists. Here's the basic rundown.
"This is Halloween", performed by Marilyn Manson: ... Read More:

I'm going to focus on the Dougal Disk here, as it's this that I purchased the cd for. Well it's been a few years since Bonkers 13 was released, and I still find that the Dougal CD is the best hardcore CD I've heard to this day. The Brisk and Kevin Energy CDs on Hardcore Heaven 1 (the one with cartoon artwork of a wierd helmet) are on par in my opinion.

The CD really gets you in a euphoric state of mind, a hardcore paradise if you will. The aptly named "Heaven on Earth" is my favourite track on a mix that builds up beautifully. I think the tune selection is great, they all have mad, clean sounding euphoric riffs, along with some screeching synths in "Xtreme" and "Get Hype." After the insane beginning the mix goes into a brief lull, "Right Here", "Still ... Read More:

WELL IT,S HERE AT LONG LAST! THE COMPLETE SCORE FROM JAMES HORNER OF TITANIC AND MASK OF ZORRO FAME, THE ORIGNAL RELEASE OF THIS SCORE GOES WAY BACK TO 1986, EVEN THEN IT WAS NOT COMPLETE, UNTIL NOW, JAMES HORNER IS ON TOP FORM WITH ONE, AND THANKS TO THE FINE EFFORTS OF THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, THE MUSIC REALLY COMES TO LIFE, WITH TRACKS LIKE BAD DREAMS AND LV-426, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE, IT,S A GREAT SCORE.

I love the Evil dead movies. I do mean love, so this review is tarnished by the fact that I loved this before I even heard it. But if you love the movies too, then this won't disappoint. If, like me, you can recite the scripts to all three films (or are familiar enough to recognise most of the major lines) then you'll have a constant grin on your face as they pop up in the most contrived places. The acting is such over-the-top cheese that you won't want a fondue (or in fact, anything else with cheese over the top) for years to come. But this is Evil Dead, not Shakespeare, and everything fits nicely. After a while, you even stop wishing Bruce Campbell was playing ash, though the lead does tend to be channelling bubba-ho-tep Bruce as much as Ash Bruce.
Bottom line: while you ... Read More:
