Guardians of the Galaxy Songs From the Motion Picture

FANTASTIC PURCHASE! (Or, as Groot would say: "I AM GROOT!")If you loved Guardians of the Galaxy in the theater then this is the album to purchase!The Deluxe Soundtrack is a two disc set that contains both the soundtrack (aka "Awesome Mix Tape vol 1") as well as Tyler Bates dramatic score. Rather than settle for one album or the other you can own both in one fell swoop for a terrific price.Disc 1: Awesome Mix Tape Vol 1I don't need to say anymore. This is the album that most movie-goers are going to be familiar with. Songs like "Hooked on a Feeling", "Spirit in the Sky", and "Cherry Bomb" lit up theaters as part of the trailers and are joined by other great hits like "Come and Get Your Love" and "Escape". It's a great collection of songs from the 70's that proves that Peter Quill's mother had great taste in music. Never before has a soundtrack album been integrated so perfectly into a film!Disc 2: The Score by Tyler Bates.Remember "300", "Sucker Punch", and "Watchmen"? That was Tyler Bates. It's a solid score that bounces from dark and brooding to tonally light and comical and back again. Tracks like "Black Tears" bring the Guardians theme to the forefront in a way that makes you wish you were back in the theater again, with a big tub of popcorn watching the crew of the Milano tear it up on the big screen. It's a subtle score in places but I've found that I listen to it as much as the Mix Tape!My only regret is that this wasn't available as an MP3 album and I had to wait a few extra days to get it in the mail.

The soundtrack of "Guardians of the Galaxy" is one of my favorites in a long time, and the 2-Disc Deluxe Version is the one the buy.*****DISC 1 - Awesome Mix Vol. 1Disc One is the songs from the movie. All but one of them are featured in the film ("Spirit in the Sky" is not in the movie, although it was used in one of the trailers). Not only is the music good, but as you know if you've seen the film, the mixtape serves a significant narrative purpose. The songs here are presented as much more than just background music - these songs are important to the main character. My understanding is that the director even played the songs on set to help the cast understand the tone he was going for.Favorite Tracks[01] Hooked on a Feeling[03] Spirit in the Sky[08] Come and Get Your Love[12] Ain't No Mountain High Enough*****DISC 2 - Original Score by Tyler BatesThe original score for the film is certainly overshadowed by the songs in the movie. But Tyler Bates is very a talented composer, and he delivers an emotional underscore here that serves the story well. It's not as compelling to listen to on it's own as disc one of this album, but there are some interesting tracks that I've found myself revisiting.Favorite Tracks[12] Sanctuary[20] Sacrifice[22] The Ballad of the Nova Corps.[26] Groot Cocoon

Guardians Of The Galaxy was my most anticipated film of 2014 and it's most definitely my favorite movie of 2014 so far. I loved the casting, the directoring, but wow the soundtrack might just be the best part about this film. These songs have an actually precense throughout this film, most these songs are played on Peter Quill aka Star-Lord's Sony Walkman that his mother gave him and it's literally his last connection to the life he had on Earth. I hardly buy soundtracks for films (last one I bought was the soundtrack to Drive) but it would've been criminal to keep myself from owning this amazing soundtrack. I definitely recommend buying it especially after you've seen the film, it adds a whole new layer of emotions when you listen to these songs afterwards. The best part is that these are all old 1970s songs you know and probably already love.

Great 70’s music. Selections are great from a very fun movie.I just wish volume 2 had been included or even available in CD.Living it.

Très bon album qui me permet de me replonger dans le film.

... wer die Filme liebt, liebt auch die Musik!!!!!!!!

Mui bien todo.

Es un disco nenes, no hay más que decir... llegó en perfectas condiciones con su cubierta de celofán en su caja con bolsas de burbuja, comprenlo!

Film eccezionale che ho adorato, accompagnato da una colonna sonora memorabile firmata da Tyler Bates.Potente e dirompente nei momenti più dinamici, evocativa ed intensa nell'accompagnare i frangenti più drammatici, per me una delle migliori in assoluto sia nel panorama del Marvel universe che più in generale.Insieme ai soundtrack dell'awesome mix selezionati da James Gunn è praticamente un must.
