CD - The Scorpion King.jpg (16990 bytes) Muic from and inspired by THE SCORPION KING.   This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files."I Stand Alone" (Godsmack) was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Hard Rock Performance.This album features a staggering 16 bands of the heavy rock/nu-metal persuasion assaulting the senses with eardrum-decimating aural aggression. Oh yeah, it also happens to be the soundtrack to the cutting-edge film THE SCORPION KING. Whether or not you see the movie, the accompanying disc definitely stands up on its own. Things get off to a bone-crushing start with the pounding riffs of Godsmack's "I Stand Alone." System of a Down's RATM-influenced "Streamline" delivers the requisite mix of melody and thrash. Ozzy Osbourne, one of the men who started all this, collaborates with disciple Rob Zombie on the gothic metal of "Iron Head." Rather than ending with some melodramatic elegy, THE SCORPION exits on an appropriately energetic note with the growling rage of Coal Chamber's "Glow," putting a properly spleen-venting cap on this unrelenting soundtrack. Complete with jewel case, CD insert and liner.  Plays well.
  1. Stand Alone - Godsmack
  2. Set It Off - P.O.D. (Tweaker remix)
  3. Break You - Drowning Pool
  4. Streamline - System Of A Down
  5. To Whom It May Concern - Creed
  6. Yanking Out My Heart - Nickelback
  7. Losing My Grip - Hoobastank
  8. Only The Strong - Flaw
  9. Iron Head - Rob Zombie/Ozzy Osbourne
  10. My Life - Twelve Stones
  11. Along The Way - Mushroomhead
  12. Breathless - Lifer
  13. Corrected - Sevendust
  14. Burn It Black - Injected
  15. 27 - Breaking Point
  16. Glow - Coal Chamber

Titanic soundtrack CD - by James Horner.jpg (10344 bytes) This is by JAME'S HORNER - his awe-inspiring, Oscar-winning soundtrack to one of the greatest movies of all timeJame's Cameron's TITANIC. Original music written by James Horner.Recorded at Todd-AO Scoring Stage, Studio City, California.My Heart Will Go On won the 1999 Grammy for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Song Written For A Motion Picture Or For Television.Penned by award-winning cinematic composer James Horner, the soundtrack of TITANIC re-creates the romance and adventure of the hit film. The story of the expensive and unsinkable behemoth that collided with an iceberg and quickly sunk has been told countless times. Yet the tale of the doomed Titanic has been turned into a love story, which underscores the triumph of the heart above even the most impossible odds.Horner's swelling orchestrations are equally inspiring and ominous, bringing to life the film's magical moments, from the ship's triumphant departure to its well-known sinking, running the gamut of emotions adeptly. Combining tasteful synthesizer sounds with symphonic arrangements is a bold compositional move which pays off perfectly--uniting the historical period of the film to our own, bringing the viewer closer to the subject. As a final touch, Celine Dion contributes a beautiful rendition of My Heart Will Go On-- The Love Theme From The Titanic, which serves as the crowning glory. Complete with jewel case, CD insert and liner.  Plays well.
  1. Never An Absolution
  2. Distant Memories
  3. Southampton
  4. Rose
  5. Leaving Port
  6. Take Her To Sea, Mr. Murdoch
  7. Hard To Starboard
  8. Unable To Stay, Unwilling To Leave
  9. The Sinking
  10. The Death Of Titanic
  11. Promise Kept

  13. An Ocean Of Memories

  15. Hymn To The Sea

Back to Titanic CD.jpg (7319 bytes) Titanic was a phenomenon in more ways than one. It was certainly unheard of for a film to break the billion-dollar barrier, but it was also unheard of for a largely instrumental soundtrack album to stay on top of the music charts for weeks on end. And it was James Horner's instrumentals that did it too — if it was just Celine Dion's single keeping it there, her own album would have fallen down the charts. So, Horner's Titanic was a blockbuster on par with the film, but there was one thing that distinguished it from James Cameron's movie — there could be a sequel to the soundtrack. Both Sony Classical and Horner realized this simple fact, so they released Back to the Titanic to coincide with the video release of Titanic in late summer 1998. Since much of his original score was on the original soundtrack, he had only a little bit of unreleased music for Back to the Titanic. No problem — fill out the rest of the album with Celtic music that served as inspiration for Horner and Cameron, and add a new version of "My Heart Will Go On" that has film dialogue layered over the original recording, a la the popular radio-play version of Springsteen's Jerry Maguire love theme, "Secret Garden."
