 Rating:  - Monkees - 'Head' - Original Movie Soundtrack (Rhino) + bonus tracksHadn't seen this 1968 Monkees film in awhile now. Have always loved the movie soundtrack - about as much as I would any of their albums. Most memorable tunes here are the spine-tingling movie theme "Porpoise Song", "Circle Sky", the psych-like "Can You Dig It", "As We Go Along", the oh-so innocent "Daddy's Song", the toe-tapping rocker "Swami" and the radio spot. Rhino has apparently tagged on six bonus tracks. Very nice. Rating:  - Some of their bestDespite the manufactured image, the Monkees showed (particularly on this album) they were innovative and could handle a variety of styles. As We Go Along and Can You Dig It? are pop gems. Rating: - Circle MoviePeter, Davy, Mickey and Mike hitting the water is the opening scene of HEAD and also the movie's finale, or as Davy says in "Ditty Diego": "...when you see the end in sight the beginning may arrive."

And up to this point, I have had little to no interest in the, "Head," soundrack or movie. Well, I just purchased the soundrack and to my surprise, I really enjoy it. I mainly purchased it for the extra tracks, as I have most of the other tracks on the, "Listen to the Band," box set. THis was a worthy investment however, as I found the remastering much better on the 1994 Head soundtrack. And I like the snippets between the songs. Read More Rating: - There's so much to do in the sunlightThe majestic, oceanic swell of "The Porpoise Song," the Middle-Eastern hippy groove of "Can You Dig It?" and the poppy folk-psych of "As We Go Along" make this album one of the trippiest in the Monkees catalog. Ignore the feeble studio mix of "Circle Sky." The live version included here as a bonus track kicks butt! "Daddy's Song" sounds like typical Davy Jones treacle -- until you pay attention to the decidedly odd lyrics. Too bad they didn't use the a capella ending from ... Read More |
