Billy Elliot
(Universal)

By Sheila Price
Our Rating: 8/10

In Summary : This is Brit's finest rolled neatly into one spunky soundtrack.

Sounds Like:From one of the year's best loved films comes yet another great soundtrack to add to your growing collection.You May Heard:Classic tracks like The Clash's stomping Brit classic --"London Calling"and Stephen Gately's"I Believe."We Fancy:The feel good mood reflected in the music --- dominated by psychedelic rockers/balladeers T-Rex which opens with the dreamy"Cosmic Dancer."Other T-Rex tracks you can expect to hear are"Get It On,""I Love To Boogie,""Children Of The Revolution,"and"Ride Like A Swan."Another favorite are the Motown sounds of The Style Council with gems"Shout To The Top,"and"Walls Come Tubling Down."I especially loved Eagle Eye Cherry's"Burning Up."Some of the movie's best loved lines are here to lead up to each track. And as a treat, there's a cinema trailer especially handy if you're popping this into your pc...cool!We're Not Sure About:Not much. They could have done without Stephen Gately's soppy"I Believe"but the song is inspirational.Verdict:This is Brit's finest rolled neatly into one spunky soundtrack. Dance your way to the nearest record stores for a copy! Go Billy go!
