Buffy the Vampire Slayer
pub: CD: Columbia B00002ZZ4R. 4966332.


This original Buffy album has been around since about Season 2 and I just wanted to remind you how good it is.

It is available at various prices so shop around if you haven't already snapped it up.
Hurling itself into the frantic Nerf Herder theme, the CD then settles down into the laconic and assured music that has been well placed in the programme.

Buffy the Vampire SlayerThe self referential 'Teenage FBI' is its own jab at the youth of the cast. The blasting 'Keep Myself Awake' is a reminder that falling asleep in a town full of bloodsuckers is, as they say, not an option. 'Already Met You' may or may not have been referring to Spike and the words 'already ate you' occur to me here.

Slowing it down to brood a little on the desperate love of Buffy and Angel, the Alison Krauss song 'It Doesn't Matter' twists the knife, or stake and The Sundays' slower 'Wild Horses' pulls it out to leave a gaping wound.

'Transylvanian Concubine' brings Drusilla to mind and Christophe Beck's heartbreaking love theme will have you weeping in the aisles and reaching for the boxed set of Season Two where so many of these songs were featured.

I cannot mention every track but each one has its own merits. 'Lucky' is a mournful dirge that still demands top of the voice singing along especially in the car! Hepburn's 'I Quit' is a powerful anti-love song that again is ideal for shouting out loud. Hmm, feel a need for karaoke?

This CD is a brilliant combination of tracks that vary across moods but offer constant playability. It is enjoying a revival at the moment as we mourn the passing of BTTVS and a new kid is on the block with the release of Radio Sunnydale - I can resist, I can Santa will bring it to me!
