A mixture of adventure and humor, Labyrinth was one of the classics of my youth and this soundtrack captures that world beautifully.

I picked this up because Labyrinth is my favorite movie. This may end up being my favorite soundtrack. All of the songs are there, but not as you may thing. The dialogue on "Magic Dance" is not the same as the movie, and you get the full "Chilly Down" as opposed to what was presented in the film. A good companion to the movie.

The first time I watched the movie, I fell in love with the songs. I memorized it. It took me years to find the soundtrack, so when I did, I bought it. It's nice to listen to all of the songs that were in the movie in full version, it takes me back to when I first watched the movie.

Few movies have touched me over the years the way Labyrinth has, and the music has been even more endearing. The eerieness of "As The World Falls Down", "Within You", and "Hallucination" are forever embedded in my memory for better or worse, but my favorite song from the entire soundtrack is "Chilly Down" a straight-up piece of hard funk in which David Bowie spits out some very black-sounding dialogue.

I always wanted it and now I have it!! Now that I do have it, I feel a hell of a lot happier. It came in on time and just when I needed some cheering up!

This is an electrical and fantastic soundtrack of the wonderful fantasy movie of 1986, starring Jennifer Connoly and DAvid Bowie, Labyrinth.

From start to finish it is electrical and rich in fantasty rock and some electronic instrumental music too.
This album includes the beautiful song of loneliness and hope, Underground, the catchy and super Magic Dance, the fun and cheeky Chilly Down, the gentle As The Wall Falls Down and the romantic Within You.
This album was proof that Bowie was still one of the greatest talents of the musical world by 1986, and had lost none of his ability to create beautiful and enchanting music.
David Bowie is a living legend.

The first time I saw The Labyrinth I was 7 or 8, probably 1987/88 Rotterdan, on tv and it really blew me away. It has a fairytale quality, a beautiful world of make-believe, truly wonderful. Years later, 2006 I went to the local fantasy shop (which has unfortunately moved from Rotterdam to Delft), saw the special DVD box with special drawing cards inside and bought it then and there. In that very same year I also bought the soundtrack.

While the "Opening Title" transports you to The Labyrinth, "Into The Labyrinth" makes you want to walk inside and be lost forever.
"As the World falls down" and "Within You" are both beautiful and haunting, showing Jareth's desperation and (maybe) love for Sarah.
"The Gobling Battle" is a blast, "Home at last" makes one feels like it is a preparation for the BIG Party in "Underground".

It has some moody pieces, but also some bright. I still think David Bowie would have made a good Vampire Lestat. He was an excellent Goblin King.

David Bowie's soundtrack from the movie is pretty much what you expect: if you've seen the movie Labyrinth, you've heard the soundtrack. As a longtime fan of the film and an unabashed child of the '80's, I still enjoy it. I only wish they'd included a lyrics sheet.

I have to disagree with the first reviewer of this film/soundtrack. This movie/soundtrack appeals to EVERYONE'S fantasies and imagination. The Soundtrack is amazing as is the movie. Entertaining to anyone wether it be male or female. David Bowie is amazing and proofs it in this soundtrack.

They used the rejected version of Dance Magic, wich can be seen as an extra in the DVD release. After hearing it, I can understand why they opted not to use it in the movie. It would have been nice if they'd added BOTH versions of the song on the disc, seeing as it has few songtracks & has both versions of Underground. To this day, aside from maybe 3 other songs he sang in the early 80s, this is the best music I've ever heard from David Bowie. (Does his face age at all? He looks just as young today.....)

I remember when I first saw this movie and immediately I loved it. Now I have the great soundtrack to go with it and it is everybit as good as the movie.

My favourtite movie since I was a child. This soundtrack is amazing!

It's the music from the movie alright - just a little cheesier than I remember. Great for kids though!

I home recorded this movie years ago when my children where young. I just love it....I never really cared for David Bowie until I saw this movie.....and I love the soundtrack.....I cannot imagine this movie or soundtrack being done by anyone other then David Bowie...I would recomend this movie to anyone who enjoys fantasy....It's awsome......

I love the Labyrinth. If David Bowie wouldn't have been in it or done the music for it, I think this movie would have been pretty bad.

The songs fir perfectly with the movie. Dance Magic and Within' You are my faves.

Fan of Bowie? Fan of Labyrinth? GET THIS!

I enjoyed this soundtrack, but I love this movie also! Anybody that doesn't like the movie is more than likely not going to like this.

Love the movie, love the soundtrack...it lags a bit during the instrumental pieces, but the Bowie tracks more than make up for it.

...prior to the last review that i read about labyrinth,
i would have to agree with all apart from the how it's only
for senorita's to like, i'm a guy and this movie and soundtrack
both dus me well ;) great Movie with many fantastic moments
and a really beautiful soundtrack, Well worthy to be in anyones c/d collection.
As the World falls down and Magic Dance arr my fav songs :0

And the best music in it!
I Grow up with this film.
I will always love Labyrinth.

I've loved the film since I was young. I've now got the soundtrack, and I'm desperately trying to get my hands on the poster. Very funky.

The lyrics to some of the tracks shed some more of the 'relationship' between Sarah & The Goblin King. It's so good, and the film has made the transition from watching it as a child, to watching (and understanding) it as an adult. There could have been so much more to the relationship on screen, and this shows in the lyrics. Particularly in "As The World Falls Down", and "Within You". My favourite is definitely "Within You", where I took the title of my review from. How true.

Not much of this soundtrack, is songs, it's more music. There are a few songs in them, but it's mainly just tracks. Of course the "Opening Titles", "Magic Dance", "Chilly Down" (ugh, ugh), and the two afore-mentioned tracks feature David Bowie. "Chilly Down" is the worst song however, but I hated the scene in the film. (The one where those fire-red things took off their heads, and various limbs - the scene didn't work, the song doesn't work.)

My favourite track is definitely "Magic Dance" with "Within You" following a very close second. "Magic Dance" is on repeat in my headphones, and is a very feel good track, unlike the rest of the music. It's also been extended from the film, and is certainly one for dancing round your room like a mad hatter. The rest of the music, is very spiritual, and is certainly something you could just have on in the background, while relaxing, or doing whatever. It stands alone from the film as well, and not many soundtracks have the ability to do that.

This soundtrack is a must for any Labyrinth fan (as is the poster - gimme!) But probably not for David Bowie haters, or those who cannot get the image of him out their head in tights!!! Oooooh err.

I have been a Jim Henson fan since I was young. It's sad that I was never able to see Labyrinth back during it's prime but I did however become attatched to The Dark Crystal. Now that I am older, I finally bought Labyrinth. And three hours later I went out and bought the Soundtrack.

The soundtrack is an amazing soundtrack. When I listen to it I can clearly invision the scenes from the movie. I have become a small fan of David Bowie and his singing voice (not to mention his many vocal talents). I am in love with "As The World Falls Down" because it's one of those songs that can sing you to sleep, whisper in your ear. It's a beautiful melody that is played throught the movie.

But what I really think deserves a lot of credit is Trevor Jones hauntingly synthizied score. It reminds me of the 80's! "Sarah" has to be my favorite track, because of its almost hypnotic fairy-like melody and the interweving of Jareth's theme. And the last insturmental, "Home At Last", when Sarah sees her friends from the other world wish her a farewell.

"...If you need us."

And then the reprise of Underground on a more happier theme!

Clearly, if you are a fan of 80's music, David Bowie, Jim Henson, fantasy, Trevor Jones--in final words, GET THIS SOUNDTRACK! Even if you are not that much of a Bowie fan, you will learn to at least appreciate him! :)

I have a tendency lately to purchase soundtracks to some of my favorite movies and I purchased this one specifically for the beauty of Bowie's "As the World Falls Down". I was mesmerized by the music in the film's ball scene and I find the music stands alone just as beautifully.

This soundtrack is a return to 80's electronica (Trevor Jones) with Bowie vocals thrown in for really good measure. If you're a Bowie fan you'll be happy; his original lyrics/music are classic, even though they weren't chart toppers.

Some of Jones' tracks are a little odd (as are some of the scenes in the film...I still don't like the freaky creatures who play basketball with their heads and the music is just as unpleasant to me), but all of Bowie's tracks are a pleasure to hear.

Like I said, I purchased this primarily for the one track, but was happy with all of Bowie's productions.

I am a Huge fan of the movie and the soundtrack lacks only a little bit. The songs are great but the goblin voices are different in the soundtrack. I was a little disappointed when I first heard it. I guess maybe I was expecting the same voices from the movie. Don't get me wrong this is one of the best soundtracks you could ever buy. Magical!

In 1986 Jim Henson's wonderful movie, Labyrinth, came out. A very entertaining movie, Labyrinth featured many wonderful songs by the great David Bowie, and now you can own the soundtrack to that movie. This CD has twelve songs from the movie, all of which are excellent to listen to even if you haven't seen the movie. My favorite is the wonderful As The World Falls Down, which is actually one of my all-time favorite David Bowie songs. So, if you are a fan of David Bowie, or just a fan of great music, then you must get this CD. My family and I highly recommend it to you.

I loved this movie. I agree with the poster below; this type of fantasy touches something in women. We love this magic-guy-in-love-with-the-real-world-heroine story. The music is haunting, mystical, sometimes silly (The Goblin Battle), and altogether wonderful. Two of David Bowie's songs - "Chilly Down" and "Magic Dance" made me rate this four stars because I truly do not care for these two tunes. The rest, however, paints a perfect picture of fantasy, especially the lovely "Sarah" the almost heartbreaking "Home at Last," and the whole reason for buying the soundtrack, the stellar "As The World Falls Down." All in all, a damn good album.

This particular soundtrack benefits two kinds of people, 1) David Bowie fans, and 2) Labyrinth fans. If you subscribe to fanships under both categories, like myself, then it's all the more bang for your buck. First, let's talk Bowie. David Bowie is one of those individuals in life who has been given the blessed talent to express thoughts, feelings, and terms of reality in such a way that clearly defines a new shade of color in the spectrum of music. Obviously, these songs can only achieve so much depth for a movie whose cast largely consists of puppets - that it is to say, this soundtrack should not be perceived as a true representation of David Bowie's work in general. Regardless, Bowie ROCKS where ROCK is needed, and romances for that matter, referring to, of course, 'As the World Falls Down'. For those people who loved the movie, and likely have the songs committed to memory anyway, having the soundtrack at hand allows you to slip into that world of musical mayhem without the aid of the television. One last thing, 'Chilly Down' (not sung by Bowie) is a little wierd but go with it, you might the like the song, and does make sense in the context of the movie - sort of.

Jesus! Why don't you already own everything Bowie has ever done? What is wrong with you?

Sometimes, the songs on this album are goofy, but even from a non-PG point of view, this soundtrack delivers! 'As the World Falls Down' and 'Within You' are awesome examples of classic Bowie genius. Why are you wasting your time reading this? Go, go. Buy it now!

this cd is like, an all around great deal. every song is super cool-david bowie's hott voice and trevor jone's superb score! everytime i listen to this cd i picture myself in the labyrinth, haha.

To me, this is just a really fun album. Bowie doesn't actually sing a lot in the film but it does have some lovely instrumental songs. The songs Bowie sings are: 'Opening Titles'including 'Underground, Magic Dance' - David Bowie (Okay, maybe it's the kid in me but I love this song), 'Chilly Down' - David Bowie, 'Within You' - David Bowie (I like this one but I sometimes find it hard to understand what he is saying), and 'Underground' - David Bowie. This, the last song that Bowie sings, is the song that is played when Jareth turns back into an owl. There are twelve songs in all on this CD. Really good music and fun for people who like the film.

LABYRINTH remains as one of best examples of a fairy tale movie made right that has ever been made. Jim Henson successfully combined muppets, live actors, and bizarre sets to create one of the best fantasy movies of all time. Adding to those elements is the unique soundtrack of the film. All of the musical numbers by David Bowie and most of the original music composed by Trevor Jones is contained on this album. I bought the album because I loved the movie. Out of all the music and songs it contains, "Magic Dance" is the one that stands out above the rest. It's the only song on the album that I find myself playing over and over and over and over again. There are several other interesting tunes, but the album is worth buying alone just to have "Magic Dance."

This album has the single most excellent song ever known to mankind ... "Magic Dance". The deep chord changes and sounds just are ... amazing. Words really cannot even begin to descibe the artistic greatness. This song is legendary. The lyrics are so deep. "Slap that baby make him free," there is so much meaning behind that. I mean, deep down inside we all have a baby that needs to be slapped and made free. I want to set my baby free everytime I hear this song. This album will go down in history as the best soundtrack ever known to mankind. The reason why I gave this album 5 stars is there weren't anymore stars to give. If I could I would give this song a 30 or 100 stars. I would give it as many stars as there are in the sky. I have listened to many songs in the course of my life and I'm 29 years old, that's alot of songs, and I walked out of the church on my wedding to "Undergtound". But "Magic Dance" is the greatest song in the world. If you haven't bought this album what are you waiting for!!!! It truly rocks my face off.

I LOVE Labyrinth, it is one of my all time favorite movies and the soundtack is just as good. David Bowie has an amazing talent and is one of the best singers I have ever heard. I could listen to the soundtrack over and over again all day long. If you are as big a David Bowie fan as I am than this is the soundtrack for you.

This has got to be one of the best soundtracks available. One of the greatest ones of all time because it's so fun & magical. Its music takes the human mind into a fantasy world! Beautiful, classy, exciting...very dreamy! Nearly every track on here is wonderful. The movie, "The Labyrinth", is really incredible & memorable & this music has been clearly defined to be its soul.

I've had this CD for several years & I still highly enjoy it! Great for little children with big imaginations.

This CD is great! As a matter of fact, it is why I like the Movie so much. The Movie is a little weird, but it has a magical edge to it that makes it a one in a million kind of movie. It is one of my all time favorite movies because of the creativity that it has. I like the movie a lot. David Bowie does a great job in the Movie as the Goblin King and also singing and doing his music. The best songs on the soundtrack are "Magic Dance", "Chilly Down", "Under Ground", and "Into the Labyrinth". As a matter of fact in all seriousness, "Magic Dance" is one of David's best songs ever. It is not his best, but it has a fun feel to it that will make you listen to the CD over and over again. So buy this CD, you'll love it and listen to it over and over again!
