Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Once More With Feeling: The Soundtrack
release date: 09/24/02


Several years ago, I was surprised to learn that my original CD soundtrack to "The Witches of Eastwick" was worth over $250 on E-Bay. Why? The simple answer was supply and demand.

But underlying the economics was the fact that it is a really good CD. Some of John William's finest work, and the kind of score that turns listeners into "air" conductors and delivers a much better time than the mediocre movie itself.

Along those lines, it would not be surprising if people now would pay $250 for the newly available original cast recording CD of Once More With Feeling, last year's phenomenal musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It's that good.

Even if you have a bootleg copy of the soundtrack, you'll want to upgrade to this beautifully mastered disc. Included are all the songs from the musical plus memorable orchestral suites from classic episodes like "Hush" and others.

The variety of the music is wonderful. Each song pleases in a different way, from the softly beautiful "Under Your Spell" to the fun "I'll Never Tell" or the moving ensemble numbers like "Walk Through The Fire" and "Where Do We Go From Here." An overall sense of playfulness permeates the collection. There are delightfully and clever lines that reference past episodes or even mock the vocal limitations of some of the performers. And unlike other musical episodes of television shows, Once More With Feeling actually does a lot to move along several plot lines.

One small flaw is the lack of key dialogue at the beginning and end of certain numbers. For example, one misses the demon Sweet's perfectly delivered "Now that was a show stopping number" after Buffy's climactic "Something To Sing About."

That aside, Once More With Feeling is a must have for any Buffy fan and an otherwise worthy addition to any collection whether you're a fan of musicals or you just like good, fun music.

Fortunately, this gem is available for just $13.49 through Amazon.com.
