The whole CD was terrific. I bought this for track 14 which is from my favorite movie, "French Kiss". I knew every song even though I did not recognize the titles.
i love the cd, it's in perfect condition, and it took no time to get to me. thanks
I love ALL of the songs on this cd, but that's no surprise because I'm a huge movie fan and a huge fan of Morrison.
It would also be a great asset in every CD collection of pop music. I like the studio version or, maybe better, the Live track included in his Live in San Francisco double album. I just bought this CD in a whim and I still don't know why. This compilation may help getting a good overview of Morrison's music to those who still don't know him. They really sound absolutely wonderful to me. The 'Moondance' live version included here is not the best I know.
If you find my review helpful, vote YES (It does not mean you agree. I may have all the songs in here except for a couple, but the quality of every track is excellent. I would recommend this CD to anybody who would like to discover Morrison, or to have a very interesting collection of some of his best well-known hits. Then, if you like it, you can go ahead and try to get a collection of his top 10 best albums from Astral Weeks to The Healing Game. I started buying all his music until 'The Healing Game'. Thanks for reading.P.S. This CD comes with an article by Michael Heatley where he tells us the movies these songs appeared in. If my ears don't lie to me, I'd say these are remastered tracks.
I am not a fan of compilations at all. This compilation includes the THEM hits 'Gloria' and 'Baby Please Don't Go'. Perhaps the Pink Floyd song is helping selling this compilation a lot, since it appeared in 'The Departed', in a very interesting moment in that movie. It just means you found it helpful). Maybe this is not a CD for those Van Morrison fans who may have all these songs already. I stopped there because he was releasing an average of 2 albums per year, and my financial status was becoming at risk. There is not one single song that is not good. Also comes with the 'Brown Eyed Girl' super HIT.
I modestly write them to help people form an opinion about movies, music and books, but if nobody reads them (if you don't vote I do not know if you did) there is no point in writing them. You can read all my other reviews if you wish to. I've been a huge Van Morrison fan since my early twenties. I already had it in the 'The Wall' concert of Roger Waters in Berlin, but anyway. It also includes credits for every song (no lyrics included), and a small portrait of Van Morrison (yes, with his hat on).
I can't say I listen to them over and over again, but when songs like "Gloria," "Baby, Please Don't Go," "Moondance," "Wild Night," "Brown Eyed Girl," "Days Like This," and "Have I told You Lately" come on the radio, I'm not exactly changing the station. After listening to this collection of Morrison's movie contributions I realized I know more of his songs than I thought. This may as well have been a greatest hits collection, because each song is a winner. I have never been a big Van Morrison fan. Well, that's not exactly true it seems. I may actually remember a few of these from the movies that they're taken from.
