Free Music Notes for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975 Film)
Free Music Review: all hail frank n' furter!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
i am thrilled to report(memories like the 'cobwebs' of my mind), that i was in the audience for the official opening of "RHPS"in 1975...and i like everyone else became instantly intoxicated and obessesed with frank and his denizens. the power the film had over a generation, via its imagery, symbolism, characters and their talent could be likened to releasing invisible heroin into the atomosphere at regular intervals keeping us in a constant state of euphoric submission. i think its absolutely redundant to review this recording. it is however, etched into our cultures psyche and has opened doors for the depraved, the not so depraved,the gay, bi, lesbian, transed out, geeky, s&m'd, stifled, frigid, barren, openminded andclosed, worn in, worn out, fresh, nubile, old, young, smart, slow, you name it.... peoples, of every walk of life and much, much more;futher confirming the power the entertainment industries have to influence. i saw the stage production at the roxy only once, albeit after tim curry left. in his stead was the wonderful and extremely competent paul jabara who unfortunately died way too soon. he was also responsible for penning some very famous pop tunes including "last dance," and "enough is enough." the stage production and its soundtrack primed me for the forthcoming film. i remember the build up..the hype..which can often leave one disappointed. the film in this case was rare in that it FAR EXCEEDED everyones expectations. because the film is what i identify(ied) with so much, the soundtrack has a VERYsoft spot in my heart. i did have to adust to the slowing down of the songs, but only for a very brief period. they simply took what was great and made it greater...perfection! if you're reading this, chances are youre already a fan. if you're new to RHPS then please, do yourself the biggest favor and GET IT! you will join ranks and be a part of a massive cult following that believe it or not, continues to grow. rock on!Free Music Review: See it, then hear it, dream it, then be it.
Hit: 5 Stars
You don't have to see the movie to enjoy this soundtrack, oh wait, yes you do. Really though. It's as insane as the movie is, and once you see and hear it, you'll understand why it's got the biggest cult following of anything ever. You eventually become part of the music, addicted, and then are forced to give in to absolute pleasure. You'll start to dream it, and then you'll be it. GREAT SCOTT!!! It's just crazy science fiction. Besides everything else, the music itself really is great. I highly recommend "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". I'm going home.Free Music Review: Missing Songs
Hit: 3 Stars
RHPS is awesome. It just seriously [upset me] to find that this didn't have "Sword of Damocles" or "Planet, Schmanet, Janet".... Buy one of the OTHER albums. I took off two stars, because it is completely and totally unforgiveable to neglect two songs from the full version, yet put on "Superheroes". BUY ONE OF THE OTHER SOUNDTRACKS. They come with booklets, as well, unlike this one.
Free Music Review: Master and Margarita and Rocky Horror Picture Show
Hit: 1 Stars
I don't know about you.But this story is just too weird.
Is it just a coincidence?
If you read the Russian Master and Margarita, one would pose a question, why isn't there a movie or show made based on a story.
Well are't all the characters already present in Rocky Horror Picture Show from Master and Margarita.
You've got your foreigner Satan Voland - Tim Curry(who is a positive character in the book) and Koroviev - the Butler, Richard O'Brien, Margarita -Susan Sarandon, professor Berlioz - the guy in the wheelchair.
Man, this is just somebody who really adored the book who wrote the script for Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Check out Master and Margarita, you won't regret it.
Free Music Review: A Rocking Musical
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is chock full of catchy tunes that will stay in your head and keep you singing for days. From the hilarious "Eddie" (When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy you knew he was a no good kid) and "Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me" (Then if anything grows *giggle* while you pose) to the bawdy "Sweet Transvestite" you will be on a wild ride. These people can SING! And let's not forget the all time classic dance anthem Time Warp. If you like rock and roll or just a good time this is a definite recommendation.
