One is the theme from Cinema Paradiso for piano and strings. Another you will recognize from Room With A View as sung by Maria Callas. The remaining two are for Orchestra and Chorus. They http://rapidshare.com/files/110684442/FourShowtunes.zip belong on your IPOD.

The problem with the Popeye Soundtrack on vinyl is that the tunes are in a different order than in the film. This http://rapidshare.com/files/104696681/PopeyeEsper.zip corrects the problem. Connecting dialog is stitched back in so that you get the whole story.

Popeye is this blog's most popular download.

He has written a lot of great music. http://rapidshare.com/files/87176296/PardonGoddessOfTheNight.zip is a sample from Much Ado About Nothing. Crank it way up.

It's a great soundtrack from a great film. http://rapidshare.com/files/86661405/Serenity-Funeral-Rebuilding.zip might be the nicest thing in it.

Here is the best Anime tune I have heard in a while. Pop star Lia sings.

Flo and Eddie insisted that pop tunes say what they have to say in their first minute. I agree that many tunes have a very sweet sixty seconds in them that make the rest of the tune filler. String these best bits together and the http://rapidshare.com/files/79890202/HolidayMashdown2.zip could be special.

This thing got lots of airplay in 1968 and yet was completely out of the blue. Guy Marks sings this track as part of an album of old novelty tunes. Inquire within.

I loved the movie myself. Mention it at a party to start a row. This is the original LP. The music was edited again for the VHS and again for the DVD. Why ask why. The rapidshare link is in the comments. YOUR comment would be very welcome.

Johnny Mercer and Gene de Paul wrote http://rapidshare.com/files/69197001/Lament.mp3 for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. You will listen to it a dozen times.

You really do. Download the http://rapidshare.com/files/21860814/TwoMashUps.zip. Thanks.

I didn't like the chart version of this but really admire the live version. Eric Woolfson as part of The Alan Parsons Project delivers http://rapidshare.com/files/65909267/AlanParsons-Time-Live.zip very touching piece. The second most touching piece of all time.

Here's a Sargent Pepper remix and it was done 27 years ago. That's right, pal.

After more than a month of painful consideration I am satisfied that http://rapidshare.com/files/44097813/Borodine-Steppes.mp3 is the one. The french horns are hard to catch- headphones would work. Or you could crank the stereo way, way up. Crank the stereo way up.

The Carpenters did this http://rapidshare.com/files/44094312/Carpenters-MrPostman.mp3 would you believe 31 years ago.

Another big band + vocalist effort by Engelbert. This http://rapidshare.com/files/37844189/EngelbertHumperdinck-LesBicyclettesDeBelsize.zip works for me. Discuss...

Roger Cicero sang http://rapidshare.com/files/34140584/RogerCicero-FrauenRegiernDieWelt.zip for the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest. Shades of Bobby Darin. You may just love it.

This is a very lush http://rapidshare.com/files/30900781/Bokurano-OST.zip from an anime running right now in Japan.

It's J-POP and I think you will prefer the two minute version to the original four and one half minutes. You might http://rapidshare.com/files/30277704/MorningMoon-Short.ziphttp://rapidshare.com/files/30277704/MorningMoon-Short.zip after a few listens.

Nigel Hess wrote and Cameleon sang this short http://rapidshare.com/files/28999525/SummersLease.mp3 for the Summer's Lease mini-series which ran on the BBC in 1989.

I haul you back from the brink. This http://rapidshare.com/files/27593583/Cast_Your_Fate.zip got a lot of play one summer long ago.

Adnan Sami sings a Bollywood song about loss. Terrible, sad, romantic http://rapidshare.com/files/27059799/TeraChahra.zip.

http://rapidshare.com/files/26730639/Dil_Ka_Rishta_-_Sad.zip is a sentimental and sad Bollywood song. These things tend to run 2 or three minutes longer than western ears prefer. Next time- one even more sad.

The tune from The Red Elvises contains a touching solo with twin balalaikas. Find it http://rapidshare.com/files/26730356/RedElvises-AllIWannaDo.zip unless you have heard too much of this sort of thing.

Hard to beat http://rapidshare.com/files/26565725/Lettermen-ShangriLa.zip offering from the Lettermen.

My view is that pretty music is sometimes relaxing but can also be exciting or sublime or something else yet. http://rapidshare.com/files/25357642/BrianEno-DeepBlueDay.zip by Brian Eno should be available only by prescription.

My most essential music bookmark is right here.

http://rapidshare.com/files/25356459/Scott___Fran_s_Paso_Doble.zip one is really special.

is available now in a single zip file http://rapidshare.com/files/25349824/April10.zip. Next time; a very nice piece of dance music.

If you've never heard Andreas Vollenweider you really http://rapidshare.com/files/24872888/Pace_Verde.zip.

This is from Star Trek First Contact. Get it http://rapidshare.com/files/23425479/FirstFrench.zip.

You might like this one an awful lot. http://rapidshare.com/files/22938997/SMTV-MoonCrystalPower.zip.

It doesn't seem likely, but it's true. Get it http://rapidshare.com/files/22938395/Jack_de_Mello_-_Pearly_Shells.zip.

The very active composer David Newman wrote http://rapidshare.com/files/22719013/Serenity-Funeral-Rebuilding.zip for the movie Serenity.

Credit Ken at WFMU for this idea. Enclosed please find 2 shortened tunes, each of which is made more harmonious by remixing it with itself. They are http://rapidshare.com/files/21860814/TwoMashUps.zip.

A very nice short number with horn and violins. From the TV show Red Dwarf. http://rapidshare.com/files/22027537/Ace_Rimmer_Horns.zip it is.

John Barry has created a lot of great music. Try this tune. It's http://rapidshare.com/files/22027389/BarryPiano.zip.

WNET purchased only limited rights to broadcast this especially remixed Beatles tune in a movie in 1980. When the rights expired it was never broadcast again. You might find it very pretty. Get it http://rapidshare.com/files/21861102/LatheOfHeaven.zip.

Composers are often asked to create something both great and 45 or so seconds in length. It is common in television but happens in film as well. Please check out this short http://rapidshare.com/files/21851656/AWrinkleInTime.zip from the movie A Wrinkle in Time. You can learn more about the composer Jeff Danna and the film at the Internet Movie Data Base.

There are lots of examples of this to be found in soundtracks for Japanese anime. Their voices are small in the verses and large in the chorus. See if it doesn't grab you. Anza of Seramyu fame sang Dreaming for Card Captor Sakura. Hanazawa Kae sings Motto Sutekie... from the Sailor Moon anime. The group Cloudica performs Under The Sky from the anime Bakuretsu Tenshi. All three together as a zip file http://rapidshare.com/files/21850543/J-Pop-SmallVoices.zip. Enjoy.
