A Beautiful Mind
James Horner
Nominated for an Academy Award as Best Original Score in 2001, James Horner's evocative, clever score didn't win, but was perhaps the most effective and deserving nominee. Horner successfully tackled the difficult task of painting in music a complex cinematic landscape, from the workings of the mind of a brilliant mathematician, to the nightmare of schizophrenia, to the ultimate triumph of love.

18
Moby
18 was Moby's follow-up on his 1999 smash Play. True to its title, 18 included eighteen tracks and delineated a departure from his dance formula success of Play. The songs are more somber and melancholy.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More with Feeling
Cast of BtVS
In November 2001 the cutting-edge TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer took a risk with an all musical episode that combined the lyrics of creator/writer Joss Whedon sung by the cast members of the show. The results were spectacularly successful, generating high demand for a soundtrack album, which this CD fulfills.
