 Back to where it feels good October 12, 2005

This CD is packed with great songs and orchestral pieces that easily take you back to the joy of watching this timeless piece of movie magic. The two Huey Lewis & The News tracks are true classics as is Time Bomb Town, written and performed by Lyndsey Buckingham who has a real gift for writing imaginative music, evoking the essence of the film itself. Theres also great nostalgia in Earth Angel and the barnstorming Johnny B.Goode. Alan Silvestri's score is gripping and it will stay with you forever.
The soundtrack that changed history October 5, 2001

It's not really possible to do better than this for a movie soundtrack, so Hollywood might as well stop now. As well as a corking selection of rock and pop songs, there are two superb orchestral pieces from the inspired Alan Silvestri-penned score.
This collection excels where many others - not least the sequels to this very film - fall down, in that there is a bit of everything.
Huey Lewis & the News contribute 'The Power of Love' and the equally rampant 'Back in Time', and these are strongly complemented by songs from Eric Clapton and Lindsay Buckingham for the 1985 era.
The album's second half details the tracks from Marty's jaunt in 1955 - Etta James' boisterous 'Roll with me Henry' and three songs from the fictitious (but no less capable for it) Marvin Berry & the Starlighters, culminating in the magical 'Earth Angel' and a rip-roaring 'Johnny B Goode'.
It helps if you've seen the film, but even if not, this is a musical feast underpinned by a film score good enough to knock E.T. into a cocked hat.
An essential movie soundtrack January 28, 2004

If you love the Back To The Future trilogy, get this CD now! The mixture of contemporary tracks and Alan Silvestri's classical score segments is perfectly balanced and keeps this soundtrack one that you won't be able to take out of your CD player. I defy you not to dance around the room to Power Of Love or Back In Time or be able to resist slipping your version of Van Halen axe into Johnny B Goode. True, there are some tracks missing (step forward Four Acres' Mr Sandman and the version of Johnny B Goode from the movie) and the running order was a little confusing, even though the segments are broken up nicely by the snatches of theme music. Personally I'd have put the stuff playing in the 1985 at the end of the film as the last tracks on the CD, but that's just my opinion. All in all, the perfect addition to the music collection of any Back To The Future or movie soundtrack fan and definitely the best of the three.

I absolutely love the three 'Back To The Future' films and i have been watching them since i was about knee height on a grass hopper. So when i realised that i could get all of my favourite soundtracks from the movie, on a CD, i was over the moon, and went straight out a brought a copy.The actually 'Back To The Future' theme tune, which was written by Alan Silvestri, is just made for this film, and is probably one of the most reccognised theme tunes in the history of films. Once you have listened to this CD you will won't be able to get the music out of your head for quite some time. I found myself humming at the bus stop, humming it at school, and just about every other place you can think of. On the CD there of course is the original theme tune, Power Of Love, Johnny B Goode, the gripping music from the clock tower, and the Marty's letter music, to name but a few. True there are some tunes missing such as Mr Sandman, and unfortunately the Johnny B Goode track is the original one, not Marty's version, but this really doesn't make much difference, and hopefully you will not turn it off , feeling dissappointed. Overall, this is a really great soundtrack, which although doesn't have all the songs from the first movie, it certainly has the good ones, and i'm sure that you will be pleased with it. This CD is an absolute must if you are a fan of the 'Back To The Future' films but even if you aren't, you will still loves the tracks and i guarentee that you will not be able to get them out of your head.

This cd really evokes the magic of Back to the Future- it's almost as good as watching the film itself! The only notable tune that's missing is Mr Sandman. I would also prefer if the tracks were in the same order as the film. However, these are small criticisms of a great product. Enjoy!
