Music reviews of Mad World 2

Music Review: 2 very different songs...
Rating: 4 Stars

Second track (Artifact & Living):
This is a moving instrumental track that sets the scene for the movie. It's also way too short. I say this because i play it over and over; it's that good. It's a slow, easy, sad, and absolutely beatutiful piece of music. If it weren't for the fact that it's less than 3 minutes long, it would be one of my favourite pieces of movie score music. Shame, really.

Video track:
I haven't seen this yet, so i'll say nothing. Based on the original track though, and Donnie Darko trailers, I'd think this to be as great as Mad World is.

The CD:
Neither of these two tracks are anything at all the original Mad World track; they both set off in completely different directions, so don't expect to hear the same stuff as was on CD1 here. The GrayedOut remix of Mad World is fast-paced keeping Jules' vocal magic, still managing to head in the right direction, despite being a techno tune. The second track is magnificent, but still should be a little bit longer. So, is this CD $*Value For Money?*$ At $12, i'd say... a definate NO WAY! I got this single for £3, which is a fair price for it. If you want to hear Andy Gray's remix, buy it second-hand. If you want more Michael Andrews, get the Donnie Darko Soundtrack for roughly the same price. But, if you liked Jules' & Andrew's Mad World, this really isn't right for you. Unless you just want the video track, inwhich case, download it from a P2P prgram like KaZaA, but don't waste 12 bucks on this. My final verdict is: Two good tracks, but too expensive at $12. If you can get it cheaper, buy it now, but if not, don't even consider it.
