Love in the Time of Science

by: Emiliana Torrini

Release Date February 23, 2004
This CD came up as an Amazon suggestion. I listened to the preview tracks and liked what I heard. Now that I've had the CD for about a month, I really like this disc. It's very pleasant. Emiliana has a wonderful voice. The songs are somewhat chillout like.

I think that if you like Dido, Beth Orton, Suzzane Vega, Sarah MacLaughlin, and Natalie Merchant (toss in a bit of Chillout); you will likely enjoy Emiliana. She was a very pleasant surprise to me. Not at all Bjork like.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

by: Howard Shore, Isabel Bayrakdarian (soprano)

Release Date December 10, 2002
This is a great work by Howard Shore. Its the darkest movie in the trilogy and this soundtrack portrays that. The Rohan pieces are inspiring because you can sense the themes of 'hope in hopelessness' and helps you to remember that God can and will help you when all seems lost; He is the Savior.

Fisherman's Woman

by: Emiliana Torrini

Release Date April 26, 2005
This was one of those albums that I heard one song off while driving late at night and had to dig around for a pen while driving to write down her name so I could go and buy the album the next day.

It is a quiet and beautiful album that is really touching, great to listen to loud with the lights turned down low. Check out the background sound at the start of the album which is the sound of a boat creaking against a dock. It has a real live sound to it as if you are just sitting in the room with her, a guitarist and an accordion player.

It reminds me a lot of Nick Drake's Pink Moon but without the depressing angle to it.

I find it to be a far superior album to her earlier Love In The Time Of Science as I think ... Read More:

The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (Limited Edition)

by: Howard Shore

Release Date December 10, 2002
What can I say that hasn't already been said about Howard Shore's magnificent score for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy? A soundtrack can define the whole atmosphere of a film, and this fully orchestrated work certainly does that with sweep, splendor and wonder, alternately humanizing (hobbit-izing?) the characters, imbuing the landscape with magic and capturing the world-shaking impact of events of mythic proportions. And this was no easy task considering the iconoclastic status of the story and the superb quality of Peter Jackson's filmmaking. This is a truly a soundtrack for the ages--a fitting accompaniment to a film for the ages! Every aspect of life, from the extreme to the mundane, is captured in this music. Listening to it can make every remembered moment ... Read More:

Love in the Time of Science

by: Emiliana Torrini

Release Date October 26, 1999
This is one of the greatest CD's I have purchased in about a year or so. After I recieved my copy, I listened to it and it didn't leave my car CD player for a good month...it's that good!!!!!!! Do yourselves a favor and BUY THIS CD!
The haunting style coupled with her smooth voice is terrific. For those that have a sub in their car.. it will give that sub a nice work out with the low bass tones. It almost holds you down in your seat as this bass blanket covers you. Dang its good!! BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!
