REVIEW

Feb. 22, 2000

This CD is mainly from movies having to do with Romance. The tracks on this CD are a wide mix of songs with most tending to be slow and dreamy while at other times the tunes invoke a feeling of sadness. We also get some moderate paced action music from time to time. The tracks here are once again done as suites of music with a variety of styles within each track.

Overall this was a pleasant CD to listen to and would be great to put on while trying to relax.
