Released during the era of leisure suits and pet rocks, the film Superman: The Movie has aged about as well. But the often-clumsy charms of Richard Donner's cartoonish, hit-and-miss take on the Man of Steel was blessed with at least one superlative artistic effort: John Williams's epic score. The composer's Oscar-nominated music (coming on the heels of Star Wars and Close Encounters) was a wall-to-wall heroic symphony, rife with memorable melodies and ominous arrangements. Almost every original cut on this soundtrack appears in an expanded version, supplemented by nearly a dozen previously unreleased cues and alternate takes. Featuring a deluxe slipcase and extensive, new liner notes, this is the definitive release of one of Maestro Williams's greatest scores. --Jerry McCulley

1 out of 5 stars Original 1978 Recording?.......2007-04-04

FIVE STAR FOR MUSIC. 1 STAR FOR AUDIO. Ok I've wanted this recording for almost 4 years. Now I got it. I am a discerning listener. This soundtrack is not the best quality. Tape hiss is very pronounced. You can tell it's taken directly from a cassette recording. I have other digital recordings of this music. They are miles ahead of this cd. Soundtrack is on the Rhino label. What? Rhino is not known for high fidelity. So it is very deceiving for one to buy a cd thinking it's John Williams conducting on a new recording in 1998 or whenever. It's the actual 1978 recording. Now let me unleash my rage. This thing sounds as if it's recorded with a single microphone in a bathroom, at a truck stop. Yes the music is phenomenal. My favorite track is #2 Krypton. I was hoping to discover some new hidden melodies that I've never heard in previous recording (original 1978). Nope. This IS the 1978 recording. So I will be getting the Debney recording just so I can hear what I'm missing. Love the music. Just can't hear it. ALL OF IT! But cool booklet. I can't listen to a booklet. But I got it. Whoopee.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME! John Williams shows again why he's the master of movie scores.......2006-08-31

After over a year of trying to find a seller of this fine soundtrack, I finally found it! It is high time that the full score was released on CD.
The original soundtrack release from 1978, while still an excellent collection, was sadly lacking in several of the best cues from the film. Most important of these was Track 12 (Disc 1) in which the helicopter crashes on the Daily Planet's roof and dangles precariously above the street. Williams builds on it, introducing Superman's theme into it as Clark Kent runs across the street, then rips open his shirt to reveal the 'S' - the symbol of the House of El - then enters the revolving door & exits as Superman. At the end of this is one of my favorite cues; the Superman theme is played as the Man of Steel appears above Metropolis, flying over the city on the hunt for criminals. 'Crime of the Century' (Track 6, Disc 2) was one of my favorite cues; this one portrayed the missile convoy as it made its way along the freeway, where Luthor staged the accident to get his cronies close enough to sabotage the missiles. There are too many new tracks to list here that should have been included the first time around, just a lack of space precluded this from happening.

5 out of 5 stars Is John Williams Superman???.......2006-08-20

After listening to the CD, John Williams must be Superman. By far, the greatest movie score ever written.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2006-08-10

Other than the over kill of "Can you read my mind", an excellent collection.

5 out of 5 stars Hector, about the liner notes..........2006-07-14

I have the previous edition, and the notes that came with it were nestled next to the CD in a thick booklet (with a cover of Reeve in front of an American flag) that was large enough for the slipcase cover, but too big to fit into the CD case front. Otherwise, the one-sheet cover that came with your soundtrack is identical to the slipcase version.

5 out of 5 stars Heres another one!!!!.......2007-03-02

Once again OOE delivers with an awesome album to encourage the broken-hearted, and just to remind everyone that God will always have your back no matter what.Its not so much the beats in the songs but its the actual lyrics that really minister to me daily. Whenever I need that something when I'm feeling down you could never go wrong with OOE. My personal favorites are "No Turning Back", "Tomorrow", ( Thats my testimony!!), "Open Up You Heart", "Draw your Near", "River", and "Heres my Heart". Which is practically the whole cd but that just goes to show how the sisters really minister in this album. Keep up the great work women of God.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous R&B/Soul Christian Group!.......2003-03-05

Out of Eden's No Turning Back is the third Christian R&B album release from Gotee Records. The vocals are made up of three talented sisters-Lisa Kimmey Bragg, Andrea Kimmey Baca and Danielle Kimmey. Most of the songs are written by Lisa Kimmey unless otherwise noted. The album focuses on finding the perfect love, the presence of God's joy, God's call to the lonely and troubled, overcoming life's battles and the nearness of His Touch is as close as your heart.


Lookin' for Love-is a song about finding love in the wrong places where you need to look to the one who made you loves you.
River-tells one that God is always near and He cares for you.
Spirits Moves-God is calling you. Let Him take control. He's got the answer for your life.
Here's My Heart-a love song to God. He can mend your broken heart.
Window-God makes a window to let the light come through. When you feel you're going under when darkness falls. He will make a way.
If You Really Knew-tells one don't do it on your own. God's Love is enough. He's waiting for you.
Tomorrow-it's going to get better. Never give up. Joy comes after the rain.
Open Up Your Heart-The Lord's love is real. He came to set you free. you need the Savior's Touch.
Draw You Near-When you're lost in a world of trouble, heartache and loneliness. He wants to hold you in His arms.
No Turning Back-(title track) God will see you through to overcome the battles. He will show you the way to go.
Sarah Jane-Troubled teens need God's Love, too. The children needs an answer in you. Get out of your world into the situation. Show them the Lord will be the Father they need.


This is a really great album. The rhythms are really up with it. The lyrics really touch the soul and the heart. I recommend this to any Contemporary R&B Christian listener or anyone looking for real music with a true message in a secular world.

5 out of 5 stars UPLIFTING.......2002-11-26

THIS CD IS WONDERFUL. I PLAY IT WHEN IM HAPPY AND WHEN IM DOWN. EITHER WAY IT IS ALWAYS UPLIFTING! I RECOMMEND IT TO ALL AGES. YOU WILL FEEL BLESSED.

5 out of 5 stars "HERE'S MY HEART", "IF YOU REALLY KNEW", "SARAH JANE".......2002-01-30

On Out Of Eden's first album (1994's 'Lovin The Day'), the ladies sounded like they were having a blast spreading their good message. OOE's second project (1996's 'More Than You Know') was a decidedly more intense affair; while it didn't hold itself together as well as the first album did, standout tracks like "Get To Heaven" and "It's Me" more than made up for it. Then in 1999, OOE returned with 'No Turning Back', and the confidence displayed here is unmistakable.

"Looking For Love" starts things right, with an upbeat sound and a poigniant message (as always). Featuring a guest rap by Gotee labelmate Knowdaverbs, the sound of "Looking For Love" was slightly ahead of its time, resembling singles that both *NSync and Imx would cut months later. Keeping the upbeat feel of the album going, we're taken into "River", a happy-sounding song. An early highlight of the album would have to be "Spirit Moves", which also has a remix on DJ Maj's 'Full Plates Mixtape 002' album released in 2001 - this song is slammin.

"Here's My Heart" is one of the best OOE ballads of all time. Featuring pop/R&B group the Katinas (also on Gotee Records), this song sounds heavenly (pun intended), and the vocals are top notch. "Window" is a decent uptempo, but "If You Really Knew" is the real winner -- it reminds me of the vibe that was heard on 1994's 'Lovin The Day', just updated. The message, music, harmony, and lyrics of "If You Really Knew" blend together really well to create a song that epitomizes the amazing spirit that OOE represents. "If You Really Knew" is my favorite song on this album.

"Tomorrow" is another steady uptempo cut, but "Open Up Your Heart" is OOE at their best. Featuring a beautiful spanish guitar, sparse percussion, and a stunning vocal performance by Lisa Kimmey (who both wrote and produced the song by herself!), "Open Up Your Heart" is a powerful testimony to the musical gift that has been bestowed upon OOE. The mellow sounds continue on "Draw You Near", and then we hear "No Turning Back" an uptempo cut that sounds as confident as its name.

Some albums include those songs that seem to come out of left field; and on "No Turning Back', OOE delivers one of those in the form of "Sara Jane". Featuring a twinge of UK-influenced jungle beats, "Sara Jane" is about the horrible plight faced by young people without guidance, insisting that "we", the listener can "make a difference". I haven't heard social concern on a record like this since Janet Jackson's 'Rhythm Nation 1814'. Closing the album on a disturbingly open-ended note, "Sara Jane" seems to say "you've heard the problem, now it's up to you to do something about it..."

4 out of 5 stars psychobilly romper room stomp.......2006-06-05

I have been listening to the "cemetary shoes" album. Okay now be warned before you rush into Johnny he is considered to be in the Genre of "PSYCHOBILLY" so if you do not have at least a passsing appreciation of Rockabilly, punk, goth, and alt country. So don't blame me if he scares the hell out of you or you just don't get it, but if you can get past any prejudices or dislikes you initially have of the music and really listen to the man, he has something to say and a very unique way of saying it. you can hear a few samples of Johnny on his website at www.johnnydowd.com Here are the lyrics to one of his songs that I really like the words to,

Billy Blu



A crooked little man / lives in the underground
Sometimes he goes up / but mostly he stays down

People call him Billy / William is his name
In the coming darkness / he's the keeper of the flame

He repairs radios / with alien transistors
Cosmic commnication / between brothers and sisters

He has information / unavailable to most
He converses with angels / and sleeps with ghosts

Silence is a sadness / a bird with a song
Billy is a sailor / between right and wrong

A world of light and promise / is beyond his memory
In the present he is occupied / preparing for eternity

Lucifer is coming / don't let the children hear
The devil's in the wood pile / judgment day is near

Things that seem simple / are extremely complicated
When you scratch the surface / of things gold-plated

© Johnny Dowd

I hope the more adventurous of you take a listen and give him half a chance and those less adventurous look at all the pictures of his pretty face (well at least that was the one good thing one young lady could find about him). On another interesting note about Johnny he didn't record his first album until he was 50 years old. Well guess I can't complain I didn't put out my first book until I was 34, and I had twenty odd years of material back logged. Which we can really blame on Bob because I really didn't think much of the "bits" I wrote until I heard SBR and I thought man I want to make statements like that. I look at Johnny's lyrics and it so often reminds me of the ways that I string words together. So take a listen, check out what he says, and always keep an open mind, remember don't judge a book by it's cover (or a book of poetry by it's title).

2 out of 5 stars Meh........2004-11-12

Man oh man...you know I love JD, but this album is sort of making me question me faith. I question whether two stars is really fair, but I gave three to The Pawnbroker's Wife, and this is definitely inferior to that one, so that's what it's getting. The most obvious disappointment here--and I think most fans would agree with me on this--is the absence of the immaculate Kim Sherwood-Caso's vocal talents. This was always a big part of the appeal of any Dowd album; she made good songs into stunning songs, and I suspect that, even if the ones here aren't as good as usual, she could have partially redeemed some of them. I certainly hope the two of them haven't had some sort of falling out, and that we'll hear more of her in future Dowd recordings.

Here's what's good about this album: the frenzied 'Garden of Delights.' I would say that this is the one song here that approaches classic status; an unnervingly intense tale of murder/suicide. Also pretty good: 'Wedding Dress,' with its entertaining southern gothic lyric (maybe Dowd should write books). That and 'Brother Jim' have a gospel feel to them (even if one's about a crossdressing butcher and the other a clerical murderer). 'Whisper in the Nag's Ear' might be okay on its own, but it just seems pointlessly overdone compared to the spare original version on Pictures From Life's Other Side.

But...most of the songs are just kind of there. Not unpleasant to listen to, but not exactly exciting either. I expect a lot more from the guy who wrote 'Worried Mind' and 'Hell or High Water.' Better luck next time.

5 out of 5 stars Clever, smart, interesting music.......2004-11-09

Johnny Dowd makes me appreciate having ears to hear with and a mind to think with. Here is a man who, in a just world, would enjoy the success that more commercial musicians do today; that he does not is a real crime (then again, the world's loss is his fans' gain). His music is deep, dark and thoughtful, but well crafted, like an Alfred Hitchcock film. The tunes take some getting used to, as does his voice, because they cover material not usually associated with today's homogenized and emasculated pop and radio scene. But like most acquired tastes, you wonder how you ever got along without it. He writes music like the moon casts shadows, makes you look over your shoulder, and consider your fate. His albums, including his recent, Cemetary Shoes, deal with topics from the seamy side of life, a portion of the world that is anathema to the Britneys, the Jessicas, and the other pop tarts of music. If you appreciate artistry, thought and challenge, check out the Dowd catalog. Stretch your imagination a little. Take a chance on his music and experience an enveloping warmth that is cognition and emotion melding.

4 out of 5 stars Drum & Bass .......2006-06-27

If you enjoy drum & bass with fat, twisted and distorted bass lines - this will not disappoint. In the ever evolving musical genre of all things electronica, this is a nice disc to have in rotation or on the MP3 player. When I first heard Calyx on an AK1200 compilation CD - twas love.

If English Soccer is "A gentleman's game played by ruffians" - this is "Ruffian music played by gentlemen". I can't help but listen to this import CD and envision an entire futbol stadium swaying under the beat of Brazilian Drums, English steins of lager, passion on the verge of violence and an electrifying pulse that takes on a life of its own.

I had an extremely hard time finding this CD. After being on hold for two months the fateful email came back saying, "sorry, sold out, can't find or you're otherwise S.O.L."

I resorted to Amazon.co.uk

And scored !


GOOOAAAAALLLLL !

No Turning Back: 1985-2005. (2005) The Second Greatest Hits compilation from Glass Tiger

If you know of Glass Tiger, you know about their 80s heyday and how they had great success with certain key songs, before fading away into obscurity. So let's get right to breaking down this album and see if it should be added to your collection, while you and I wait for a new studio album to come along...

The title of my review says it all. It gives us 2 new tracks (the title song and "Give It Away") as well as a B-Side from long ago. Everything else is found on the 1994 hits compilation BEST OF GLASS TIGER: AIR TIME, and AIR TIME is the better of the 2 compilations in my opinion. the 1994 version has 15 of the band's hits and album tracks, PLUS 2 very good unreleased tracks. There are more classic hits on that album than are found on NO TURNING BACK. Why didn't they just put the new songs on a new album and move on from there? I understand this CD correspondes with the release of the DVD of the same name, but still, I find this compilation to be pretty unncessary, and for those only looking for the classic 80s hits, this CD isn't compiled as well as it could have been. The 1994 version has pretty much EVERYTHING a casual fan would want (idealy the person that these CDs are aimed at) plus 2 awesome un-released tracks that fit in like magic.

Finally, most of the tracks on NO TURNING BACK are single versions (radio edits)...come on, nobody needs those. Yet another discouraging point on this compilation. And "Diamond Sun" is the french version. Doesn't do anything for me, and if you are a big fan of the original version, you've been cheated on this one.

In closing, it should be noted that BOTH compilations are widely available, so you don't have to settle for this inferior package. I strongly recommend, for those people who just want plain ol Glass Tiger hits, go with the 1994 version. If you are a completest, the new tracks will be a good addition for you until a new album comes along. Otherwise, this album isn't required listening, go pick up the DVD instead.

5 out of 5 stars De Grassi is a modern master........2006-03-04

Imagine yourself as a tiny feather in the breeze. A delightful wisp carries you to and fro, from place to place, rising and falling but never touching the ground of a quiet fragrant meadow. The ethereal magic of sunlight and soft dew kissed flowers on a spring morning giving life and filling the air with wonders beyond what any other world could ever hope to emulate or create without the touch of Earths own nature. This is the world that Alex De Grassi has created in turning back...there is lilac adrift and...there is old wood to burn. Old wine to drink. Old friends to trust. Old books to read...

5 out of 5 stars Exquisite.......2004-08-25

This is the most delicate and ethereal composition/recording I have ever heard and I am 52yrs old. If you can get your hands on a copy, you'll never regret it. You'll be transported to a place few have been. . . .
