In keeping with the dark, baroque feel of Tarsem's surreal thriller The Cell, composer Howard Shore crafts a heavy, droning score that mixes Middle Eastern, industrial and symphonic elements. While many of these pieces -- such as "Tide Pool," "FBI Pathologist," and "Stargher King" -- work well in the film, removed from that context they become oppressive. "Sing a Song of Sixpence," "Valentine," "Catherine's World," and other quieter excerpts are not only more evocative, but easier to listen to as separate works. Though Shore's music for The Cell works much better as incidental music for the film, it's still a well-crafted and ambitious album that hardcore soundtrack fans may appreciate. ~ Heather Phares

Actor Patrick Swayze isn't thought of as a vocalist, though he sang "She's Like the Wind" with Wendy Fraser on 1987's Dirty Dancing soundtrack and intentionally inflicted his dreadful rendition of "I'm Henry VIII" on Whoopi Goldberg and 1990's Ghost movie (thankfully, failing to make it onto the soundtrack to that film). So the surprise here is that, under the guiding hand of David Kershenbaum, he sounds like a clone of Bryan Adams on songwriter Willie Nile's very '80s "Raising Heaven (In Hell Tonight)." The Road House film and its subsequent ...

Gordon Jenkins' Manhattan Tower is a musical milestone in several respects. It is a unique blend of elements, part pop orchestral, almost classical suite, and part radio-styled narrative, part musical, and part operetta. It began life in 1946 as a four-part suite on a 78 rpm set of Decca Records, featuring a small cast headed by actor Elliott Lewis. This modestly ambitious set took hold in the hearts of New Yorkers and earned Jenkins the Key to the City in 1950, presented to him after a semi-staged version of Manhattan Tower appeared on Talk of the Town, an early version of Ed Sullivan's televised weekly variety show. Manhattan Tower, with its implication of romance and its lush and tasteful evocation of a kind of idealized city life in New York, won Jenkins many friends, and its unusual dramatic and musical format may have influenced the rise of Industrial musicals, beginning in the early '50s. In 1956, executives at Capitol Records, who were building their own pancake stack-styled tower at the corner of Hollywood and Vine, invited Jenkins to expand on his original concept, and the result forms the heart of Sepia Records' The Complete Manhattan Tower. This time the romantic element in the story moved from implicit to explicit, with actress Beverly Mahr (Jenkins' own wife) added as a love interest, Julie, to Elliott Lewis' Steven. With the project moving from the 78 album format into the LP arena, Jenkins was able to more than double its content, though it is more "different from" than "better" in regard to the 1946 version. People who the couple encounters on their dates and travels together briefly step into the story and comment on their own ...
