SOUNDTRACK NEWS
Billy Joel's MOVIN' OUT Gets RAVE REVIEWS
"The band frequently makes Mr. Joel's songs sound better than he did...
No fan of Billy Joels' music will leave disappointed."
-- New York Sun
"...shimmering portrait of an American generation set to Mr. Joel's Music...
Movin' Out brings to mind the musical smashes 'Mamma Mia!' and
'We Will Rock You.'"
-- New York Times
"It's Billy Joel's music that shines as the brightest star
of Movin' Out...like watching a favorite book turned
into a movie."
-- New York Post
The album features such Joel classics as "Uptown Girl," "We Didn't
Start the Fire," "Big Shot," "Just the Way," "Movin' Out,"
and many more performed by Michael Cavanaugh and the Movin' Out band.

MUSIC & WAR: Yo-Yo Ma/Philip Glass in NAQOYQATSI
The reviews are in for the musical score to Naqoyqatsi,
a film by Godfrey Reggio, music by Yo-Yo Ma & Philip Glass:
"The Naqoyqatsi soundtrack makes for another exceptional CD...
Keyboards and winds have given way to a full orchestral palette
and the elegiac beauty of Yo-Yo Ma's solo cello. No recent Glass
score showers the ears with so many and subtle instrumental delights...."
-- Geoff Brown, Times Online
"...what may be the key element of the films, the soundtracks
by composer Philip Glass. The movie is not simply 'scored'
by Glass; his music is a vital component of every frame,
fully equal with the visuals, and you can watch these films
again and again, just as you can listen to a favorite album."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
"The digitized images of Godfrey Reggio's film Naqoyqatsi:
Life as War may leave you with aching eyes, but you can
always close them and listen to Philip Glass's soundtrack,
which features cellist Yo-Yo Ma. You can even skip the movie
altogether and listen to the score on a new Sony Classical CD."
-- Richard Dyer, Boston Globe

music is a marvel"
