Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Very fun and elegant music
Submitted on: 2009-05-12 |

I've always loved the kind of music occidental composers do to suggest or meld oriental sounds.
In this case is so, Funya nd elegant music with an exotic touch.
I enjoyed it very much |

 Beautiful and interesting, with or without the movie

I searched for the ost after seeing the movie. It drew me into the movie and I like the oriental accents in it.
Now I bought it and I find it just as beautiful without the accompanying images. It has faster paced and slower, more emotional pieces. This in my opinion is always a plus. The first song " Mountain of fruit and flowers" is in itself a perfect mix and one of my favorites. It goes from a beautiful soft melody to a happy, faster paced tune. (And having seen the movie, I could really imagine the Monkey King when listening to it). A very good introduction to the rest of the cd. "Monkey Bussiness" is another mix, switching between ominious drums and brass (sorry, I don't know the exact terms as I'm not a native speaker)of the Jade Warlord and the happy playfull violins and flute of the Monkey King. "Ni Chang and her cult killers" has a sort of Wild West edge to it. The oriental sound is present throughout. I could continue discussing each song, but I'll leave that to the listener to disover.
Overall it's a beautiful soundtrack, guaranteed to sweep you off to that forbidden kingdom. Enjoy.
PS: I did read some negative comments about the quality of the cd. My cd itself was in perfect condition: no scratches, no glue. The only way you might tell it's a cd-r instead of a regular cd is the slightly lesser quality of the booklet. But it is really only slightly vissible. Might I not have read the comments, I might not have noticed. Whatever the problems were when this first came out, I think they solved it.

Music fit for a Kingdom from David Buckley
Submitted on: 2009-03-12 |

| I was amazed and stunned when I put this CD in my computer. The music was exciting, emotional, and (I don't know how else to put this) cool! Tracks 1 and part of 19 reminded me of the Pirates of the Caribbean music. 12, 15, and 16 are just plain cool. Tracks 13 and 19 are very emotional. Yes, it is printed on a CD-R, but it rips well to a computer. This Music is amazing; anyone should love it! |

Incredible Soundtrack
Submitted on: 2009-01-10 |

There are countless soundtracks out there with "far-eastern themes", but this one really stands out. David Buckley has carefully crafted something which is refreshing and most of all, outstandingly beautiful. The only other Hollywood film score that I think is a worthy contender that is a fusion of Western and Far-Eastern sounds is Hans Zimmer's "Last Samurai Soundtrack".
The only downside to this soundtrack is that the CD is not a stamped CD, it is a CD burn on a CD-R. Which is why I did not give a full 5 star rating. In fact I almost gave this product a 3 star rating!
However, If you are a fan of Western Classic fused with Far-Eastern sounds, this is probably one of the best you'll have in your collection. |

 Good music but expensive CD-R
Submitted on: 2008-11-07 |

Good score with nice asian flavoured melodies, brilliant action music and spectacular orchestral effects.
However, Amazon is selling this CD-R for the price of a factory pressed CD (some CDs are even cheaper). Too expensive for that stuff. The music worths the money, but the overall product doesn't. It's like a home made burnt CD-R. Would you pay $15.99 (plus shipping) for a home made CD-R?
On the other hand, the product I've received is well manufactured and the sound quality is excellent. I'd like to have this score as a properly pressed silver CD (the same can be said of Craig Armstrong's double CD-R of THE INCREDIBLE HULK). |
