Advantages: Excellent track, Classic anthem
Disadvantages: None

...Think back to the summer of 1998. 1.) Which house track do you remember most fondly? 2.) Is it one of your favourite house tracks of all time? If you answered "Music Sounds Better With You" by Stardust, for question 1, then I say 'well done, that is the correct answer'. If you answered differently, you're wrong. Actually, you're not wrong, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but in my opinion, which this is, yours is wrong. Although there were many good tracks out at the time, such as David Morales' "Needin' U", undoubtedly, in my view, and I'm sure many others, Stardust's offering was the top tune of the summer, of the year even. If you answered wrongly (in my opinion) for question 1, question 2 does not apply to you. If you answered correctly, I am sure your answer to question 2 was 'yes'. "Music Sounds Better...

Advantages: Beautiful songs that you want to listen to again and again.
Disadvantages: Its to short.

...Usually when children are growing up they attach them selves to the latest phenomenon, for example my brother is six years old and I bet you can all guess what he’s into, yes your right Harry Potter and Spiderman. Well when I was growing up, through the late 80’s and the whole of the 90’s, while everyone else was well into take that and power rangers I was in love with The Sound of Music, a film made 20 years before I was thought of let alone born!! The Sound of Music could make me laugh, cry, happy, sad, excited, but most of all safe, and as I’ve grown older its been a very valuable tool in my life. Through the heart ache of lost boyfriends, the constant stress of exams, among other things, putting on the soundtrack and singing along as never failed in making me feel better and I’d like to share this miracle with you all...

Advantages: Great way to see Salzburg sites
Disadvantages: None

...No visit to Salzburg would be complete without a tour on the Original Sound of Music Tour especially if you are a fan of the 42 year old movie. MOVIE VERSES REALITY... It is a good way to see the main city attractions and to get out into the mountains while learning how the movie was made and the differences from the original von Trapp families life experience and to see what director Robert Wise and composers Rogers and Hammerstein did to their story. For me the Original Sound of Music Tour was truly a memorable experience but one tinged with sadness as the extremely able and friendly tour hostess exposed the movie as a bit of a fake, for me, who did not know that the real von Trapp family's life was little as it is presented in the movie. She started off by telling us we could sing whatever songs we liked from the movie, all... Read review

Advantages: All your favourite songs from this classic
Disadvantages: None, whatsoever!

...********The Sound of Music - Orginal Soundtrack******* Ever since I can remember, as a child this was usually played on the old record player, The Sound of Music - we have this still, on the 'old vinyl albums' in the house somewhere. But since we don't own a record player any more and the years have progressed since then, I wouldn't have minded this album on CD - but does such a thing exist? Yes. How could anyone go wrong with this! What a great bunch of songs. I thought this was just for the oldies and my friends took the 'Micheal' out of me when I bought this the other week, but when I played the CD to them they found every song worth listening to over and over again until they practically learned most of the words, lol The tracks are as follows....... 1. Prelude And the Sound Of Music... Read review

Advantages: A brilliant family film, suitable for all ages.
Disadvantages: Although almost flawless, some parts tend to drag.

...The hills are alive with the sound of music With songs they have sung for a thousand years. The hills fill my heart with the sound of music My heart wants to sing every song it hears. The sound of music is an outstanding musical which has stood the test of time, and is a much-loved film by everyone from children to adults. I think that there are many reasons behind the sucess of the film, including the catchy, and emotional songs, the realistic characters- which are easy to relate to, and the beautiful scenery of Salzburg, Austria. History: The Sound of Music (1965) was an exceptionally successful film in the mid-1960s - at the time of its release, it surpassed Gone With the Wind (1939) as the number one box office hit of all time. The film begins with Maria singing on the picturesque mountains, and appears to be taking... Read review

Advantages: It is a classic
Disadvantages: If you don't like this kind of films

...Right now I have finished watching this film again on TV. How many times have I seen it in my life? Uff... considering that it's on TV every year in Christmas (and I am over thirty) and that I have been having it in video for years... impossible to count. And it is that it does not tire to me. I imagine that most of you know the film, at least the name but just in case you don't know it I am going it to introduce it to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIST OF CREDITS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TITLE ORIGINAL: The sound of music PRODUCER: Argyle Enterprises for Twentieth Century Fox PRODUCER: Robert Wise and Samuel Chaplin DIRECTOR: Robert Wise INTERPRET: Julie...

Advantages: A great family film the songs
Disadvantages: There aren't any

...The sound of music is a great family film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Julie Andrews plays a nun called Maria who is sent to the Von Trapp family home to be the childrens nanny. Captain Gayorg Von Trapp is played Christopher Plummer and is the widower who has seven children to raise and the house is run as though the Captain is still on one of his ships. The seven children are Leisel, Fredrick, Louisa, Kurt, Brigita, Martha and gretel. Maria has to learn to call the children by a call of a whistle but she refuses and Maria makes the children play clothes out of the curtains in her room while the Captain is away and disobeying his orders. While the Captain is away Maria takes the children out into the open air and teaches the children to sing. The Captain comes back with his fiance and a friend called Max... Read review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall... Read review

...13 July 2006 Days have passed into oblivion, since I wrote the review on 'The Sound of Music', on the Ides of March, 2001. I must have watched The Sound of Music umpteen times, but still I enjoy it as if it is for the first time. So much has this movie influenced me that with every viewing I enjoy it more like an old wine. The evergreen songs make me feel younger. A few days back, I came across the 40th Anniversary Edition of the DVD of this movie, a set of two DVD's. I bought the DVD's from a Dubai shop and I am proud to own the set, as I think that no DVD collection would be complete without the addition of this new set. The picture and sound qualities of the 40th Anniversary release are excellent. The bright and clean images are supplemented by sharp and well defined colours. A Dolby Digital 2.0 track is included. An option... Read review
