Haunting and beautiful, a must have for Angel fans, June 12, 2005

N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Angel: Live Fast, Die Never [Music from the TV Series] (Audio CD)

Released practically a year after the show's untimely demise, "Angel: Live Fast, Die Never" is a haunting and beautiful score compilation that is an absolute must have for Angel fans. Beginning with an excellent extended version of the show's main title theme (performed by Darling Violetta), the haunting mood of the album and the show are perfectly captured, something which no Buffy the Vampire Slayer music compilation could never fully accomplish. The following tracks, including "Start the Apocalypse", "The End of the World", "Home", "Hero", "The Birth of Angelus", "Rebellion", "Dreaming of Darla", "Darla's Sacrifice", "Cordy Meets Fred", and "Farewell Cordelia" are all nothing short of amazing and are instantly recognizable to long time fans of the series. The other tracks included here, including "LA Song" by Christian Kane (better known as the villainous Lindsay) and two performances from Andy Hallett (better known as the green skinned karaoke loving demon Lorne) are worth the...Read more

"Die Never" last hurrah for fans of TV's most inspired show, May 30, 2005

Drogyn "Joss Whedon fan" (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Angel: Live Fast, Die Never [Music from the TV Series] (Audio CD)

In the spring of 2004, one of television's most inspired shows got the axe from its network to pave the way for yet more reality TV programming. Memorably, the fans tried their hardest to reverse the network's decision, hosting blood drives and raising more than $20,000 in their valiant attempt to keep "Angel" on the air. Alas, "Angel," spin-off of the legendary (and Emmy-winning) show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," met its death with a slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am series finale, sending off television's best hope for the sanctity of quality programming.

Almost exactly one year later, after years in development and production by the show's creators and composers, the "Angel" score and compilation soundtrack "Angel: Live Fast, Die Never" was released to stores.

The majority of "Die Never" is highlights from the five-year long series' moody and even iconic scoring. Along with most television series, the scoring of "Angel" happens in the background of dialogue and...Read more

I think this is quite an outstanding compilation. The title song is, of course, a staple. Then the next few tracks are all ambience pieces that will make you feel very much like the apocalypse is coming and so is the hot vampire in the long black coat. What makes this compilation really great is the last few songs that all fans will remember. These include Touched, LA Song (that Lindsey performed in Caritas), and a few hits by Lorne, including Lady Marmalade. For fans, this is totally worth the purchase.
