Music by... W.G. Snuffy Walden
: :Claiming he was wary of finding himself 'playing Holiday Inns at 60,' W.G. 'Snuffy' Walden segued gracefully from a career as a rock/blues guitarist and sideman/musical director to artists from Donna Summer and Laura Branigan to Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan to become one of modern television's most prolific composers. This collection offers up several of Walden's contemporary TV successes (the powerful, guitar- and wordless-aria-driven elegance of 'Once and Again'; the haunting 'Felicity's Theme'; an acoustic guitar revamp of 'Thirtysomething'; and the stately theme from his Emmy-winning work on The West Wing) alongside ...

Nip/Tuck
: :Is there a more perfect musical metaphor for Nip/Tuck's themes of deeper-than-skin neuroses and narcissistic surgical reinvention than the chic chimera of a club remix? Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden, the dub savants behind contemporary club successes that include Andain's 'Beautiful Things', Motorcycle's 'As the Rush Comes' and Sarah McLachlan's 'Fallen,' conjur up a nigh-seamless soundscape of haunting textures and percolating beats here, forcefully pushing the envelope of what a smart song-score can be in the bargain. Their rhythmic reinvention of The Engine Room's theme for the show, 'A Perfect Lie,' sets the ...

Celtic Christmas IV
: :With contributions from Uillean piper Liam O'Flynn, Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler, former Skara Brea singer Maighread Ní Dhomhnaill, harpist Patrick Cassidy, and country singer Ricky Skaggs, the fourth in Windham Hill's Celtic Christmas sampler series is a varied and somewhat austere collection of winter ballads and yuletide airs. Guitarist William Coulter turns in a lovely arrangement of J. Scott Skinner's 'Cradle Song,' while harp and mandolin player Lisa Lynne, backed with bouzouki and double-bass, performs the two-beat 'Morning Star.' W.G. Snuffy Walden's lyrical 'St. Stephen's Green,' with added guitar by Dean Parks, ...

Veronica Mars
: :Say you're a fearless, smart, crime-solving high school student: what's on your iPod? If you're Veronica Mars, you've got a great playlist. The songs included on the 'Veronica Mars' soundtrack (featured in both seasons one and two) are drawn from a pool of strong indie talent--exactly what you'd expect from a think-for-herself individual like Veronica. The Dandy Warhols' show-opening 'We Used to Be Friends' sets up Veronica's emotional struggles in the deeply divided town of Neptune. And fans of the show will recall Cotton Mather's sad, Beatles-esque 'Lily Dreams On' playing while a ...

Felicity: Music From The Hit Television Series
: :'Highly emotional, excitable, and driven' is how the official Felicity Web site describes the TV drama's title character. If only that side of the precocious teenager were more often reflected on this soundtrack album. Stultifying slow, midtempo balladry with often painful lyrical imagery is the rule here; too rarely do classic Aretha Franklin and Peter Gabriel tracks (and more recent ones by Neil Finn and Ivy) relieve the overwhelmingly 'sensitive' atmosphere fostered by Heather Nova, Joan Jones, and series costar Amy Jo Johnson. --Rickey Wright
