This is so fantastic! I was just thinking how much I wanted to listen to the Point. I wonder if the movie was ever released on DVD. So great. When I downloaded this, the tracks went into a folder not in the correct order. Is there a song list someplace so that I can reassemble them back? Thank you soooo much!
1 everything's got 'em 2 the town 3 me and my arrow 4 the game 5 poli high 6 the trial & banishment 7 thing about your troubles 8 The pointed man 9 life line 10 the birds 11 p.o.v. waltz 12 the clearing in the woods 13 are you sleeping? 14 oblio's return
The Point! is the soundtrack to a cartoon feature originally aired on ABC TV in 1971. Especially at this stage of his career, Harry Nilsson was uniquely suited for writing and recording children's music, given his sweet melodicism and love of whimsy. As it happens, The Point! worked out better than anyone could have expected, not just because "Everything's Got 'Em," "Me and My Arrow," "Think About Your Troubles," and "Are You Sleeping?" are songs strong enough to have been on a proper Nilsson record. There's also an intangible quality to this record, a warmth and generosity that really wasn't on any of his other albums, quite possibly because his humor is never sardonic or reliant on in-jokes. It's gentle and loving, as is the music. The tale is fantastical enough to be of interest to children (and the moral is strong enough to reassure them and their parents), but the songs and music are so strong that the album continues to be a source of wonder, even as those children become adults.
thank you...i've been looking forever for this, but the password isn't working! is there a glitch or a way to re-upload this? anything would be really appreciated, thanks!
