Free Music Notes for Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Album (1999 Television Series)
Free Music Review: When Radio Sunnydale Gets Old, Put On the Original Again
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not sure when I first bought this CD (probably shortly after its release), but I didn't really give the album the attention it deserved until this year. In early 2006 I bought Radio Sunnydale (the 21-track import) and listened to it obsessively for the better part of a year. When some of the tracks started getting old, I picked up the original Buffy soundtrack and listened to it again for the first time in years. And I fell in love.
Although Radio Sunnydale has, on average, more memorable tunes from the series (Ballad for Dead Friends, Blue, Sugar Water, etc), even if you can't place where the songs on this album appear in the show, they still capture the heart of Buffy and the indie rock vibe that was particularly present in the first few seasons when the Bronze played more of a central role in the series.
Personal album favorites:
Teenage FBI - Guided By Voices
I Quit - Hepburn
Lucky - Bif Naked
Keep Myself Awake - Black Lab
Transylvanian Concubine - Rasputina
Free Music Review: I Love This Album
Hit: 5 Stars
I purchased this album not too soon after moving 3,000 miles from everything I knew. I recognized some of the songs from favorite episodes, and the rest became second families. I still have strong connections to a few tracks. This album is a really good post brek-up album. It's not happy music...quite depressing, but Buffy wasn't a really positive show. I highly recommend this album.Free Music Review: Buffy Album review

Free Music Review: Compendium of music from Buffy and some of the best music of the 90's
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD was released around the midpoint of the run of the series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so it primarily is from the high-school years of the show. It is not just a soundtrack of the music from Buffy, it is a very good mix of music from the last half of the 1990's. Although I consider myself a die-hard fan to the point that I can pretty much rattle off the names of the episodes in order and tell you what each was about, I did not recognize many of the songs on this CD as far as being able to link a particular scene or episode with a song.
There are, of course, a few exceptions, the most obvious being the show's theme by Nerfherder and "Close Your Eyes", which is the Buffy/Angel love theme. The latter has always been one of my favorites, as I can almost feel what Buffy is going through when she realizes she must kill her dearest love in order to save the world at the conclusion of "Becoming Part 2". Another song that brings back memories of Buffy and Angel's tortured romance is "Wild Horses", which is playing as the two dance together at the prom, both knowing that Angel is leaving town soon and this is their last chance to have any kind of normal moment together. "Lucky" recalls the episode "The Harsh Light of Day" when Buffy allows herself to be seduced by aspiring Lothario and fellow college student Parker Abrams. I've always been intrigued by "Transylvania Concubine", which is the quirky and memorable tune playing during Drusilla's "coming out" party in the episode "Surprise".
The remainder of the songs did not really provide any emotional cues for me as did these five that I have mentioned, but they are still a good collection of lively music from the 90's that I consider to be a worthy purchase.
