Keeping Up With [Import]

Product Description
Australian import and boy is this going to have tongues wagging we hope. This one is classic Not Lame territory. Sounding like a squeeky clean version of The Shazam in many spots, but also a long list of classic pop sounds familiar to the Not Lamer: Bleu, the Churchills, Ike, The Argument and Sun Sawed In 1/2. There`s plenty of "Bellybutton"-era Jellyfish slipping in here, too. The 10 perfect pop nuggets here are ridiculously catchy throwing dream harmonies and hooks all over the place. Each song is melodic and memorable because they are sweetly wrapped up with arrangements that keep it all both fresh and accessible. "Keeping Up With The Wellingtons" is a stunningly well-rounded, consistently hook-driven affair, w/ power pop melodies exploding in every corner of each song. Independent. 2005.

Amazon.com

Fresh from their box-office triumphs on Close Encounters and the initial Star Wars chapters, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas used their combined studio clout to foster what must have seemed a long shot to some: a revival of the long-moribund action-adventure movie serials of their youth. The resulting exploits of Indiana Jones added another billion dollars or so to their coffers--and offered yet another opportunity for scoring legend John Williams to exercise his preternatural abilities to both inform the films with a nigh-perfect musical sensibility and play to the grandstands with rousing aplomb; "The Raiders March" quickly became one of cinema's most recognizable and enduring melodies. The three generous suites here (performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic under the baton of Nic Raine) re-create Williams's music with faithful energy, from the brass flourishes and Biblical mysteries of the first installment to the bright exuberance of Temple of Doom and the playful recapitulation of The Last Crusade. This 73-plus-minute collection also includes a bonus vocal performance of one of Temple of Doom's key motifs, Cole Porter's "Anything Goes." --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Good Try.......2007-06-10

This soundtrack was a good try because this is not the London Symphony Orchestra with John Williams conducting.
They have a little to much energy on the Raiders March (if you own the original soundtrack you'll know what I mean)
Still not bad.

Actually pretty good. .......2006-04-30

"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" I believe is one one of John Williams best scores. Unfortunately, it has been out of print for some time. This album contains excerpts from all three of the Indiana Jones films. They are not the original recordings but this is a good effort and actually is quite an enjoyable listen. I have gotten alot of enjoyment from this CD. If you enjoy the compositions of John Williams or are a fan of Indiana Jones as I am , I would recommend this very much.

No John Williams mean STUPID MUSIC! .......2005-11-02

There is no way one can honestly call this Indiana Jones music with a clear conscience. The chords are off, and some of the songs are even missing NOTES! They slur when they aren't supposed to, they're giving John Williams THE GREAT a bad name! Indiana Jones movies are best ever in the entire world, and this "soundtrack" or "recording" or WHATEVER it's SUPPOSED TO BE, is dragging them through the mud! Horrible.

Not a soundtrack!.......2005-08-04

Come on, Amazon, you list this under "Soundtracks" when it clearly is but a later rerecording of the original score. A rerecordings is not a sountrack! The average customer would think something you list inder "Soundtracks" would in fact be a soundtrack and would find out it actually is but a rerecording of the score only by going over the details of these reviews. It might be great music, but a rerecording is not a soundtrack!

Well done of the Prague Philh. Orch.!.......2005-04-02

Since there is no album from John Williams himself who brings these great soundtracks of these 3 fantastic movies together, you may say that one is well done!
OK, it's not the Boston Pops Orchestra or the London Symphonic Orchestra, and OK, it's not the master himself who is conducting.
But Nic Raine and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do it very well! They have kept the spirit of the director and the soundtrack-composer. One little detail: the brass-section overdoes sometimes the rest of the instruments...
Conclusion: a must have CD, and the price is OK!

Man this man can play! From days past when he was beating on the hoods of his Dad's old cars to now, when he's burning up the mallets, it's been obvious that this "long and skinny" boy can play. He's not too shabby on bass, either--just don't ever ask him to play flugelhorn...

Customer Reviews:

Definitely the early years before the best years, however..............2006-03-18

......there are about six or seven tracks that will capture your attention. In my opinion, the compilations' best tracks are "Your'e the Only Bargain I've Got", "Your Love Controls Me", "Will You Be There?", "Taster of the Honey (Not the Keeper of the Bee)", "I Need You", "I Turn To You", "The Proof is in the Pudding" and "Man on the Take".

Mostly, the album is comprised of songs that sound like "session" and studio tracks not intended for official release on an LP, but the ones I named could've easily fit any early (or later) works by the ladies.

What this peak into the early years does do, however, is offer devoted fans a taste of what preceded the more polished tracks in later years. In my opinion, it's a "must-have" for any long-time fan of the Jones Girls.
