 Startingly Good - stands as excellent music for its own sake December 4, 2005

Excellent compilation of Craig Armstrongs film music.brArmstrong truly is a rare talent in film music scoring - these days, each composer whose name you might recognise has their own tricks that crop up time and again. Hans Zimmer has the #x27;soulful voice as instrument and Wagnerian epic themes#x27;, Jerry Goldsmith has the #x27;lush string sound with simple effective meolodies#x27;, Vangelis has the epic soaring themes market cornered...brBut Craig Armstrong truly uses a large repertoire of tools to achieve whatever is needed for a certain film. This album contains romantic soft melodies gently played (Love Actually Glasgow Love theme), Driving modern dance style beats (#x27;Ball#x27; from Plunckett and Maclean), epic Carl Orff style choir and orchestra theatrics - (Romeo and Juliet - #x27;O Verona#x27;), plus others which are intimate piano pieces, soulful solo violin motifs - basically, anything a musician can use to get the desired effect. And the beauty is, it is all original, and all instantly memorable.brMuch film music can become quickly tiresome, but Armstrong is so inventive and memorable, that this CD bears repeated listening - indeed, you have almost certainly heard many of the tracks before and not realised who the composer was.brArmstrong has achieved that rare thing, of creating film music that stands squally proud by itself without the film. But for sure, this CD will both make you want to go and watch the films again paying more attention to the nusic, and secondly make you want to go and discover more of Craig Armstrongs work.brYou wont be disappointed on either count. Highly recommended for lovers of both film music, and music for musics sake.
As good as he always is... November 10, 2005

Having heard quite a few of his albums over the past few years, I knew roughly what to expect of this CD. However, I have to admit, even I was suprised at how good it really is. There are tracks on here that some people will recognise, either from the films themselves, or from Adverts TV programmes (such as BBC#x27;s Top Gear). My particular favourites are "Escape" "The Ball" from Plunkett Macleane, a film I didn#x27;t know he scored. brI#x27;m not disappointed with this album, and neither will you be. It#x27;s a good starting point to sample some of his best works, before going deeper into his Discography, which won#x27;t disappoint either.
You might have heard these elswhere May 25, 2009
Herts Review (Herts UK)
Bascially a collection of pieces of film music that this guy has done.
br /
br /I was after the Chanel film advert music with Nicolle Kidman.
br /
br /some of the tracks contain parts of the film soundtrack that the actors spoke.
br /
br /This lets the album down slightly.
 Good........but not great September 8, 2009

Never really heard about Craig Armstrong until I heard a piece of his music on Classic FM. Overall it's not a bad little compilation of work, but can't really stand up to the grandeur of say John Barry for example.
