The soundtrack of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's first ever musical episode, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More With Feeling, is every bit as fun as the episode itself. It manages to do a couple of things most musicals don't do: give a reason for all the bursting into song (a demon named Sweet has put a curse on the town that makes everyone sing) and ...
Imagine an album that could contain tracks by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Elvis Costello, as well as Frank Sinatra, Cream, and Van Morrison. That's part of the lineup on this various-artists sampler of music used in the television series The Sopranos, music that dates from each of the last five decades of the 20th century, from Bo Diddley's ...
Even though independent and underground rock and pop play a significant role in the critically acclaimed WB TV show The Gilmore Girls, it's still surprising just how much hip and diverse music is on Our Little Corner of the World: Music From the Gilmore Girls. In fact, the soundtrack -- released in conjunction with the beginning of the show's ...
Season two of the hit television medical drama Grey's Anatomy focused much more on the relationships of its characters rather than everyone just trying to make it through each unpredictable day as doctors at a Seattle hospital. This change of pace is reflected in the subsequent second volume of the show's soundtrack. Just like the indie rock and ...
What with the scores John Williams has penned for the Star Wars movies and those of Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, and others for the Star Trek films, you'd think it was settled that the music of science fiction involves grand themes and lush orchestral arrangements reminiscent of European classical music. But Bear McCreary, who has taken on the ...
For those who can't get enough of Angel, the TV series, Rounder Records has released Live Fast, Die Never, an album comprised of music from the show. Much of the album reminds one of an orchestrated movie soundtrack. Pieces like the emotive "Start the Apocalypse" and the quiet "End of the World" are impressive, but still qualify as the type of ...
Some soundtracks are strictly souvenirs of a particular film or television series, and they aren't terribly meaningful if you aren't a fan of the movie or program in question. But other soundtracks are able to stand on their own two feet. Take the Scrubs soundtrack, for example. Whether or not one is a fan of the NBC sitcom Scrubs, this is a ...
At the end of each episode of The Sopranos, a different song plays under the credits. Sometimes the song has been featured elsewhere in the episode, sometimes it is first heard at the end. What the songs have in common is that none of them are mentioned in the credits. Viewers may recognize the familiar ones, a song by Otis Redding, say, or Them's ...
Like most WB programs, Charmed often serves as a cross-marketing platform for those wily folks at the WB. Most episodes begin with a typically middle-of-the-road adult alternative track, and there's usually a few moments for music in between all the vanquishing of baddies and gratuitous ganders at Alyssa Milano's beguiling figure. Piper Halliwell ...
Given that the WB's Felicity is light years beyond other contemporary teen dramas in its note-perfect portrayal of young adult life, it's no real surprise that Felicity's success is simple -- by and large, these are actually artists that a college freshman like the title character might be listening to circa 1999, from Lilith Fair icons like Sarah ...
Songs From Dawson's Creek, paced by the already established hits "I Don't Want to Wait" (Paula Cole) and "Kiss Me" (Sixpence None the Richer), not to mention its association with the popular television series, then nearing the end of its second season, was a gold-selling Top Ten hit in the spring of 1999. A year and a half later, Dawson's Creek ...
Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim's score for Gypsy has had five major recordings: the 1959 original Broadway cast album starring Ethel Merman; the 1962 original motion picture soundtrack starring Rosalind Russell, partially dubbed by Lisa Kirk; the 1973 London cast album starring Angela Lansbury; the 1989 Broadway revival cast album starring Tyne ...
Filled with songs featured during the fourth and final season of Felicity, this CD attempts to soundtrack the life of a sensitive and introspective college senior and seems to do a pretty decent job of it. Tracks from 2001's golden boy Ryan Adams, Barenaked Ladies, Jude, and Natalie Merchant strike a nice balance of rocking out and straight-up ...
The 1999 ABC/Disney production of Annie features Kathy Bates as Miss Hannigan and a supporting cast that includes Victor Garber, Audra McDonald, and Alan Cumming. Songs like "Hard Knock Life," "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile," "I Don't Need Anything but You," and, of course, "Tomorrow" are included in this new interpretation of the ...
Pokemon trainers of all ages will enjoy the soundtrack from their favorite cartoon. Along with the show's theme and "PokeRap," 11 previously unreleased songs appear, including "2.B.A. Master," "Misty's Song," and "The Time Has Come (Pikachu's Goodbye)." The enhanced CD contains a video for "PokeRap" and includes a 15 dollar Nintendo Game Boy ...
While it isn't much more tied into the action on the show than the first Charmed soundtrack was, Charmed: The Book of Shadows streamlines its approach, focusing on female artists both loud and gentle rather than the willy-nilly, grab-bag feel that Charmed too often had. Though the soundtrack boasts more than a few well-known names, like Sarah ...
Though the "no boys allowed" rule that seemed to guide Charmed: Book of Shadows made it the best of the collections of music loosely tied into the WB series, Charmed: The Final Chapter returns to the more scattered feel of the first Charmed soundtrack. Along with tracks from Lillith Fair-esque artists like Liz Phair's "Baby Got Going" (which is ...
Released in 1999, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Album was the official soundtrack to the series, while 2002's Once More With Feeling was the soundtrack to the peerless musical episode with the same name. Which makes 2003's Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Radio Sunnydale...what? A cash-in attempt for a cult series that's now off the air, but still ...
CBS-TV's crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was the top-rated network television series in the U.S. in the fall of 2002, when this soundtrack album was released. At least a part of that success could be attributed to the music used on the show, which is featured here, starting with the theme song, the censored single edit of the Who's 1978 ...
The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" serves as a rousing theme song for the CBS spinoff hit CSI: Miami, and it opens the show's soundtrack as well. From there, Miami tries on some thickheaded nu-metal (Ill Niņo's self-explanatory "I Am Loco"), but it's only afterburning background music. The set's remainder consists of oddly England-centric rock ...
SpongeBob Squarepants: Original Theme Highlights celebrates Nickelodeon's hippest cartoon in song, collecting the show's silly sea shantie theme, some of its funniest original tunes, and performances by special guest stars like Ween and Pantera. SpongeBob teaches Plankton the meaning of fun on the bouncy "F.U.N. Song" and deals with the ...
