The Soul is saved!

Usually in films, the soundtrack is not the most important, but the plot - but that does not apply to the commitments! In the film about the Dubliner chaotic force that has set out to save the Soul, the Soul starring. Not that the film would be boring, but without a soul, or soul of the old school, a non-stop bout unwitziger film, and you're done. So ... but to make the Dublin Youth on the road and saves the soul; originally an SOS call of voiced type (Save Our Souls!) of the prefabricated buildings of Romanticism free suburb. And what a soul! The band around Robert Arkins and especially Andrew Strong, with tat and vote strong support of Angeline Ball, Maria Doyle and Branagh Gallagher provides cover versions of more than 30 soul classics from, all on the type of originals, as they can not seem blacker "Mustang Sally", "Chain of Fools", "In the Midnight Hour," "Bring It On Home to Me", "Slip Away" ...
Ambitious experiments (if you like it) can not be expected of course, but who loves solid, fine and varied Soul who has something here for life. Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Don Covay would certainly not offended, I dare say.

This double CD contains all the songs, but not in the version that you get from the film itself, but in perfectly arranged studio recordings. While therefore lacking genius carvers from the movie, such as the combination of the Dublin broadest jargon and ambitions, as American sounding like the big idols, and you can complain about. However, you do not have it, because the original sound develops its full effect probably only with film, should sound a bit in need of assistance without this background, however. A good exchange so: You can hear the famous from the film Soul classic with all their verve in though perfectly produced, but not smooth to death polished quality.

For those who already own one of a total of two previous soundtrack CDs, it is mainly the price whether you can complete by the second single-CD or to resort to this double CD. After all, this double CD contains five more from Andrew Strong soulgewaltigem solo album: "Are You Lonely for Me Baby", "Some Kind of Wonderful", "Too Many Cooks", "Same Old Me" and "Is not Nothing You Can Do ". Apart from the two CDs correspond in composition and order the previous individual issues.
For those who know these commitments only from hearsay, this question does not arise; you can recommend the double pack without hesitation.

Finally, here together what belongs together, or what will be heard together. Both CDs sound like all of a piece, you can single out any individual track. That it something still ...
One thing is certain: The Soul is saved!
