Review To Infinity And Beyond! : Songs From and Inspired by Toy Story & Toy Story 2 / Various:No matter how advanced the technology or how sophisticated the plot, Disney have always stressed the importance of good music in their animated films. To Infinity & Beyond, a compilation of music from both Toy Story movies, very clearly demonstrates this. Stripped away from the awesome visuals and digital spectacle the songs of Toy Story are, more often than not, wonderful. Contributions from score composer Randy Newman (whose "You've Got A Friend In Me" appears here in four different versions, including a duet with Lyle Lovett and a big band number with Robert Goulet) and Sarah McLachlan share space with the equally delightful "The Claw" (performed by The Aliens), "Cadence 2" (performed by Billy Henry and the Green Machine) and "Pig Rap" (performed by Two Big Pigs). To Infinity & Beyond may be children's music, but it's anything but immature. -Robert Burrow.

Publisher: Walt Disney Release date: 2006-10-16 RRP: £8.99 Price: £3.92
Review A Bug's Life / Original Soundtrack:One of the truly great ironies of modern American pop culture is the evolution of Randy Newman, social critic and songwriter superb, into one of the 1990s' preeminent scorers of animated films. As in Toy Story, Newman's music for A Bug's Life forms much of the crucial human dimension of the computer-generated visuals, replete with an upbeat, if ever-so-slyly fatalistic "theme" song, "The Time of Your Life. " Newman's mastery of the orchestra sparkles here as he playfully romps from '40s-tinged big-band swing through Stalling-esque parodies and tomfoolery to mock-heroics worthy of Korngold and Waxman (or Randy's uncles-Alfred, Lionel, and Emil-for that matter). The brain trust at Pixar may have made impressive strides in forging their digital illusions of life, but they still seem eons away from replicating the musical synapses of Randy Newman's brain. If Walt's impending, much-rumored big thaw actually works out, will Newman be next in line for the Disney deep freeze? -Jerry McCulley.

Review Dinosaur: Original Soundtrack / James Newton-Howard:The opening inseparable double-act of "Inner Sanctum/The Nesting Grounds" followed by "The Egg Travels" represents the first of two uncharacteristically brave, musical choices made by Disney. This is a completely dialogue-free ten minutes starting the movie which, like the trailer that preceded it, tells its story solely through music. The second act of bravery is the complete absence of a single song. Newton Howard, therefore, had both a great weight and freedom on his shoulders. His response is something with the ethnic anywhere percussive feel of The Lion King coupled with a romanticism John Williams would be happy with. After this overture is the love theme for "Aladar and Neera", which is one of the most beautiful melodies the composer has ever produced. The rest of the album follows the overture stylistically, punctuated frequently by angry bursts of electronically augmented percussion. "Raptors/Stand Together" is the best example of this, and also illustrates that the cues are a jumble of the film's chronology since this is the climactic battle finale. The absence of songs means this won't appeal to the usual kiddie collectors, but everyone else should admire Disney's bravery. -Paul Tonks.

Review Toy Story 2 / Original Soundtrack:For those who loved Randy Newman's score to the first Toy Story (but maybe not the singer-songwriter's gruff voice), check out Toy Story 2. Here, we get a handful of memorable vocal numbers: Sarah McLachlan sings the breathy "When She Loved Me," Riders in the Sky give their retro-swing treatment to "Woody's Roundup," and Robert Goulet croons Toy Story's anthem "You've Got a Friend in Me. " The soundtrack's orchestrations are pure Newman-sometimes sweeping, sometimes whimsical, and always fitting for this fantasy story of toys coming to life. Of course, the "You've Got a Friend in Me" theme keeps popping up in the instrumentals, as do Western-themed melodies. Nothing monumental here, but a fun soundtrack nonetheless. -Jason Verlinde.

Review Pokemon: 2.B.A. Master / Various:From the Flashdance-like opener, "Pokémon Theme", to the closer, "You Can Do It (If You Really Try)", 2. B. A. Master is high-energy fare. This CD sports an over-the-top flavour drawn from video-game-styled electronic blips, disco danceability and the hollow tripped-out beats of theme park musicals, all of which makes this super hot stuff for the Pokémon generation. The 13 tunes here are spread between action narrative ("What Kind of Pokémon Are You?", "Together Forever"), scene-setting devices ("Viridian City") and character theme songs for our hero Ash, his Pokémon Pickachu and his pal Misty, as well as rival trainers, Team Rocket. "What Kind of Pok&eaxute;mon Are You?" features multi-tracked rapping and R&B choral refrains; the superlative "2. B. A. Master" bursts with space-age Michael Jackson-inspired speak singing and electronic riffs; and not only is the funky "PokéRap" featured in audio, but the enhanced disc contains the visual component as well.

Review WWF: Forceable Entry / Various:The tag-line emblazoned across the top of the WWF: Forceable Entry album cover reads, "All New WWF Superstar Themes That Rock!". On any compilation where songs by Limp Bizkit and Marilyn Manson are unremarkable for their fast pace and fury, it can be safely said that all of the songs do "rock". Careful work has gone into matching songs to the performers and the opportunity to listen to this album outside the context of WWF shows means that fans can live the fantasy any time they choose-all day long. Even Vince McMahon's theme strengthens the role he plays in the WWF plot: Dope's "No Chance" talks in the first person about a stupidly angry boss and connecting McMahon with this song is smart because everybody hates their boss on some level. This song only reminds the listener of McMahon's part in the drama. Along with "No Chance", some of the other numbers on WWF: Forceable Entry are new covers or remixes of wrestlers' theme songs. Here, this generally means a new version with dirtier guitar work throughout it. This will only bother listeners if they are really attached to the original version of one of the themes, such as Chris Jericho's "Break the Walls Down" (Sevendust), or Undertaker's "Rollin'" (Limp Bizkit). If you know the songs played upon the entrance of these wrestlers then you know which themes you like and which ones you don't-and you know whether or not you need this album. -Mark Huntsman.

Review The Empire Strikes Back: Special Edition Original Soundtrack (deluxe) [SOUNDTRACK] / RCA:As the bridging film of the original Star Wars trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) topped its predecessor in terms of story, character development, and special effects. Directed by Irvin Kershner, the sequel documents the relentless pursuit of the rebels by Darth Vader, a burgeoning romance between Han Solo and Princess Leia, and the training of Luke by the mystical Yoda. Taking advantage of his elaborate leitmotif design, composer John Williams introduces a wise, spiritual theme for Yoda and a delicate love theme that assumes a more dramatic profile after Han is betrayed and frozen into sculpture. The score is also an imaginative inventory of self-contained settings, whether it be the chilly Hoth soundscapes, the otherworldly choruses of Cloud City, or the intricate gymnastics written for "The Asteroid Field". Discarding the heroic optimism of his previous score, Williams enforces the film's overriding dark tone through the ominous, brassy "Imperial March". Appearing in virtually every cue, the march accompanies Vader's obsessive quest to kidnap and convert Luke to the dark side. A definitive accounting of the finest science-fiction score ever written, this remastered two-disc set (released concurrently with the special edition of The Empire Strikes Back in 1997) presents the complete score in its full glory. -Kevin Mulhall.
