Free Music Notes for Ghost Dog: The Way Of The Samurai - The Album
Free Music Review: Ghost Dog soundtrack
Hit: 3 Stars
If you are after the original music from the film, look out for the Japanese version of the soundtrack. It contains all the original instrumental versions of the songs from the film.Free Music Review: Didn't have the one
Hit: 3 Stars
If you liked the movie then surely you'll love the music too.
But the album did not have Armagideon Time, but well...the way of the samurai is found in death.....
Free Music Review: IT'S A-IGHT
Hit: 3 Stars
THIS CD IS PRETTY TIGHT IN SOME WAYS BUT AT THE SAME TIME THERE ARE A FEW SONGS THAT ARE KINDA BOGUS. BUT FORTUNATELY THE MAJORITY OF IT IS COOL.Free Music Review: the RZA ? disappoints...
Hit: 2 Stars
I was really impressed with "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai"...the movie, and I was really impressed with the soundtrack...in the movie. Unfortunately, "Ghost Dog" the CD bears little resemblance to the tunes I remember from the film (maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention)...but I was shocked when I purchased the disc and realized that the best pieces of music- RZA's instrumental tracks were all but missing! Don't get me wrong, there are some good tracks on the disc; Jeru sounds good, RZA delivers some dope rhymes, so does Masta etc. but where is the dub-flavoured track from the film? the sword-practice track? The haunting chimes and beats from the opening of the film? This disc seems to collect all the filler from the movie...music which was played as background (and I mean BACKGROUND...read inaudible?)music and pasted them together in order to have a group of Hip Hop notables for sales purposes...Is this the record company's fault? I hope so. Anyway, I returned the disc, and am anxiously awaiting a second Ghost Dog CD release....how 'bout "Ghost Dog: The music we want to hear".Free Music Review: Does Not Have half the power of the tracks in the movie
Hit: 2 Stars
When I saw the movie, I thought: "Okay, the music in here is pretty phat. I guess I'll be checking out the CD." Mind you, I had high expectations for the music anyway, since I've always been of the mind that a lot RZA's tracks have MAD character and ambience, and that if he got rid of some of the rapping here and there they'd be great tracks to chill out or break the speed limit to.However, the problem with this CD is that the stalking, spooky tracks from the film AREN'T ON IT! We're left with some record company-suggested/use-a-rapper tracks that just don't fly in the face of what you knew SHOULD have been on this disc. What we're left with are throw-away B-side second-tier Wu-tang tracks that Wu-tang probably wouldn't use.
This record hurt my feelings and my wallet. I wanted hip-hop artists to be able to show Hollywood that they could handle the "big stuff" like soundtracks. DJ SPooky got burnt the same way on "Slam". I guess we'll just have to wait for another one to come down the pike.
