"I love this cd to death! Some of my favorite tracks are #1,3,7, and the last one Underground. We have all seen the movie and heard the music. If not then I highly suggest watching it. The music in my opinion takes me to another world of joy and excitement. Listen to some of the examples and try to imagine being somewhere else. That should help you decide that it is a great cd and a must for every music collection. David Bowie and Trevor Jones did a wonderful job with it. Two thumbs up or 5 Stars and a half."

A most amazing experience!

"'Allo! If you've seen the movie and love that little worm as much as I do, buy the soundtrack! I've loved this movie from the very first time I saw the commercial, yes, I was one of the unfortunate who didn't see it until it came on TV. My very, very favorite song is "Home at Last" because I love sad music, and that is just beautiful. I also love "Sarah" and the "opening titles". I'm one who's not really into dancing though, but whenever "Magic Dance" or "Chilly Down" comes on, I'm glad I'm not in public or I would embarass myself! HA! "As the World Falls Down" has always been one of my favorites, but "Home at Last", though instrumental, has to be my alltime favorite song. I love absolutely everything about this soundtrack, every song, every melody. Just get it ok! =0)"

The sound of dreams

"What an excellent film and what a very, very beautiful score for such a beautiful love story about a young girl and a king! You get the original score from the film 'Labyrinth' and you also get the talented song writing and singing of David Bowie. The movie's score goes perfect with the movie and it's quite appropriate, because after all, it was the 80's still. As for the songs, 'Underground', 'As the World Falls Down', 'Magic Dance', 'Chilly Down', and the opening tile, it's excellent! The romantic 'As the World Falls Down' almost made me cry one time, because of the beautiful music box-like music as well as the lyrics. So therefore, I highly recommend this to anyone you loves 'Labyrinth' and who loves dreaming. : D"

Unlike Jareth, this music has power over anyone...

"I have been a Jim Henson fan since I was young. It's sad that I was never able to see Labyrinth back during it's prime but I did however become attatched to The Dark Crystal. Now that I am older, I finally bought Labyrinth. And three hours later I went out and bought the Soundtrack.

The soundtrack is an amazing soundtrack. When I listen to it I can clearly invision the scenes from the movie. I have become a small fan of David Bowie and his singing voice (not to mention his many vocal talents). I am in love with "As The World Falls Down" because it's one of those songs that can sing you to sleep, whisper in your ear. It's a beautiful melody that is played throught the movie.

But what I really think deserves a lot of credit is Trevor Jones hauntingly synthizied score. It reminds me of the 80's! "Sarah" has to be my favorite track, because of its almost hypnotic fairy-like melody and the interweving of Jareth's theme. And the last insturmental, "Home At Last", when Sarah sees her friends from the other world wish her a farewell.

"...If you need us."

And then the reprise of Underground on a more happier theme!

Clearly, if you are a fan of 80's music, David Bowie, Jim Henson, fantasy, Trevor Jones--in final words, GET THIS SOUNDTRACK! Even if you are not that much of a Bowie fan, you will learn to at least appreciate him! :)"

Bowie and the Muppets

"As if getting to watch David Bowie sing and dance on a cult classic movie with the muppets wasn't good enough, the soundtrack to the movie has proven to be every bit as enjoyable as the film that spawned it. Alternating the instrumental score work of Trevor Jones with Bowie's original songs, the sounds that played such an important part in the movie are equally impressive when listened to on their own.The Bowie contributions run the range from very fun, relatively light-weight songs such as "Underground", "Chilly Down", and "Magic Dance", to more serious and somber songs such as the beautiful "As The World Falls Down" and "Within You". The score blends perfectly with David's compositions, and really ties the soundtrack together into a great listening experience.For anyone who enjoyed watching David Bowie and the goblins, (tights, big fuzzy wig, and all) this soundtrack is a must have and is guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face and wondering where you left your copy of the video."
