Free Music Notes for Due South, Vol. II: The Original Television SoundtrackFree Music Review: Interesting and wide ranging Hit: 4 Stars
Selection was great. I found the song Robert MacKenzie moving and combative
Free Music Review: Volume 1 is better. Hit: 3 Stars
Like anyone who would be reading this, I am an avid fan of Due South, a program which does indeed utilise sound and music more effectively than any other I know of. That is the reason I bought the first soundtrack, which was a brilliant compilation, highlighting Canadian artists who I would otherwise never here. And that is also why I bought the second album. However, the music selected from the third series to go onto this CD is poor, and I feel it did not fully live up to my expectations. It is no that this album is bad, its just that the old one is so much better.
Free Music Review: Music that is hard to label. But still an fine ride. Hit: 3 Stars
Due South, the TV show is sometimes called quirky. This CD falls right in line. From 'Drunken Sailor' to 'November', you get everthing from a high energy drinking song to a ballad designed to provoke melancholy. I doubt that anybody will like *all* the cuts, but everyone should find something to like. While I was impressed by Paul Gross' singing on the first album, I don't think that 'Robert Mackenzie' is meant for his voice.
Free Music Review: Disappointing follow-up to vol.1 Hit: 3 Stars
When I learned there was going to be a Volume 2 follow-up the the excellent 5 star Volume 1, I couldn't wait to get it. But, I was disappointed in the music chosen for the CD. The tracks by Jay Semko, Paul Gross, November, Captain Tractor, and Sarah McLachlan are fine, but as for the rest... I've heard some great music from the third season that could have gone in their space. Overall I give it three stars for its uneveness.
Free Music Review: **DITTO** Hit: 2 Stars
I agree with many of the other reviewers. This is an unusual CD. Some songs were good, some okay, and a few I didn't care for. One song has explicit language - disappointing to see on a Due South CD. I bought it mainly for "Robert MacKenzie", which I enjoy more each time I hear it. An alright soundtrack, but not quite what I had hoped for. Probably worth the money for the 8 or so good songs on it - especially if you're a Due South Fan!
