Love Jones (The Music) - various artists compilation soundtrack

 

Love Jones (stylized as love jones) is a 1997 American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Theodore Witcher, in his feature film directing debut. The film stars Larenz Tate, Nia Long, Isaiah Washington, Bill Bellamy, and Lisa Nicole Carson.

The movie had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17, 1997, where it tied with Hurricane Street for the Audience Award. It was released in the United States on March 14, 1997, by New Line Cinema.

The soundtrack was released on March 11, 1997, via Sony Music.  A 2022 essay published by the Criterion Collection stated that the soundtrack's reception helped renew interest in the film after its initial theatrical underperformance. The album features a blend of R&B, neo-soul, jazz, and spoken word, reflecting the film's poetic and intimate tone. It was a commercial success, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and reaching the top 20 of the Billboard 200. The album's standout track, "The Sweetest Thing" by Refugee Camp All-Stars featuring Lauryn Hill, became a hit single and marked one of her first musical releases outside of the Fugees. Maxwell's "Sumthin' Sumthin' (Mellosmoothe)" also gained lasting recognition and remains one of his most beloved deep cuts.

Vangelis - Cosmos (Themes from the TV Series) EP compilation

 

Cosmos: A Personal Voyage is a 1980 science documentary television series written by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steven Soter, with Sagan as presenter. It covers a wide range of scientific subjects, especially cosmology and its connection to the origin of life. 

Owing to its bestselling companion book and soundtrack album using the title, Cosmos, the series is widely known by this title, with the subtitle omitted from home video packaging. The subtitle began to be used more frequently in the 2010s to differentiate it from the sequel series that followed.

This compilation EP is a selection of excerpts from the original soundtrack.
