More Music From Northern Exposure CD

2007-12-29
The "More Music From Northern Exposure" CD is a great follow-up to the original CD from the 90's television series. It is a sampling from the quirky television series and is as entertaining as the tv series was. It brings back great memories........More Music From Northern Exposure (1990-95 Television Series)

Better than the first one

I received this album as a gift because I enjoy the first NX album. However, I do skip a couple songs on the first album because I don't care for the sound, genre, whatever, and I don't skip any tunes on this album because I enjoy all of them. The second album seems more eclectic than the last, but I do agree that the opening and closing modern Native American tunes are the best.

Great traveling music!

I am in my vehicle often, on road trips between Iowa and Colorado to visit Grandchildren and take Girl Scouts to the mountains. I didn't realize what a lasting impression this CD made on my Girl Scouts and Grandchildren until one day the girls were in the car and suddenly all 7 began singing the opening Oijibwa song. They had learned it phonetically, just as I had. When 15 -16 year old girls say, "play the Northern Exposure music Gramma J.", you've got to guess it's a CD full of good music. I like to listen when I drive through unknown and unfriendly bumper to bumper traffic. It is soothing and rhythmically conducive to driving. Not to mention the good Northern Exposure memories.

Only for hard core NXers

I bought the first CD and loved it, so i expected to love this one as well. This CD just isn't up to the same level as the first one though. the songs in large part are forgetable with the notable exeptions of the two native american songs at the beginning and end, the crane dance song (lay my love) and wrap your troubles in dreams. unless you just have to have everything NX related, want two good native american songs, or have the urge to try and teach a crane a mating dance, this CD just isn't worth it.

Excellent variety

I purchased this CD for music to accompany the digital pictures I took on a vacation to Alaska. What I didn't expect was to become somewhat addicted to certain selections. Now, I frequently listen to the CD in my car on the way to and from work. It is both relaxing and energizing. I particularly like anything by David Schwartz, who is responsible for the well known "Theme from Northern Exposure" (which is too short here--I wanted more). His other numbers on this CD, "The Ladder" and "Mooseburger Stomp" are rousing and fun. I fell in love with the beautiful, soothing, deep alto voice I heard in "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams." What a surprise to learn that it belonged to Mary Ford (with Les Paul)! I hardly paid any attention to her in the 1950's. "Lay My Love" is infectious, anticipatory and wonderful. Who can resist the walking-waltz pace of "Un Mariage Casse?" Finally, Joanne Shenandoah will surely get her wish with her enchanting rendition of "I May Want a Man."

Great Music from a Outstanding Show.

This album is the best. It has a lot of the great music from NX. I like it better than the original soundtrack. If you are an NX fan, there is no question you must buy this album!

Great - I want More!

Ilove this CD. I only wish that there were more CDs in the series. Most of my favorite NX music is played during the closing credits, rather than on KBHR.

More Music from NX

2000-12-29
Didn't buy the CD because I wanted more of the Native American music and chants that were used on NX. It's easy to find the pop music featured on the CD. At least give us the list of Native American songs and artists that were featured. Then I'll know what other CD's to look for.

Listening reminds me of how much I miss the series

This show died way too young! The music will definitely bring you back to its magic if you were a fan. Even if you never saw the series, you can appreciate the amazing eclectic rythms that can uplift the somberest of moods! The only constructive criticism I would offer is that more Native American flavor be added to both CDs. There were so many incredible Native songs and chants during the show's run, like "Ojibway Love Song," that many of us would love to hear without having to watch the shows everytime. You could easily fill a CD with them. Please do!
