3 out of 5 stars A Slight Innacuracy.......2007-06-13

The version of "Nadia's Theme" (Theme from The Young and the Restless) isn't actually the one you're expecting. I believe it's actually the original arrangement made for "Bless the Beasts and the Children". So what later became the Young and the Restless theme (the one that was a hit) still remains unreleased on CD.

Hopefully, we can see that version on a future release. Maybe they could get "Little Ballerina Blue" on one while they're at it.

Still, some great stuff here.

I was excited to find this album. I bought it but was horrified to find a loud vocal on the first track. The rest of the music is all instrumental but this one track simply JARS you when it plays. Very disappointing!

5 out of 5 stars Another Collection You Wonr Find Anywhere else.......2003-05-06

Well, ERIC records has done it again.

Continuing their unique practice of giving us both well known hits and impossible to find rarities, Eric presents Volume 2 of "Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals". This one is, in my opinion, even better than the first.

First off, the sound quality of this disk is ASTOUNDING. ERIC has gotten the various reissue departments to provide them with absolute first generation mono and stereo masters and this CD proves it. The aural quality is breathtaking. The fact that Orchestral music is so beautifully suited for true stereo playback is exhibited here, as a whopping 15 of the 20 tracks are True Stereo and sound magnificent.

There are, of course, the big soundtrack hits here, like 'The Day The Rains Came" "Rocky", "Ben Casey", "Theme from The Apartment", and " Nadias Theme". All top 30 and well remembered. However, for this 43 year old fan, it was the some of the lessor known tracks, in particulatr the 1963 Colpix low level charter "Theme From The Long Ships" that really makes this collection the gem that it is. Outstanding tracks include "Theme From The Sundowners" , "The Dark At The Top of The Stairs" and "I Will Follow Him" , all tracks that will suddenly sound familiar again after first listen.

Therein lies the BEST part of this collection. When you put this on your player, you will be treated to a nostalgic feast,
a time when the magic of Orchestral music still ruled the charts, and existed in all our homes. And you'll certainly remember most of these once you hear them, which is the fun part!!

There arent enough great things I can say about this collection AND its sister CD "Hard To Find pop Instrumentals- Part 2" I personally liked this volume better, but if you dont have either yet, give yourself a musical treat, and some REAL listening enjoyment and pick these up...

Its listening the way it used to be.

4 out of 5 stars Two distinguished composers = Two distinctly unique scores.......2005-10-24

Twenty years after the release of the original album, Varèse Sarabande has been gracious enough to re-release the two scores for the resurrected "The Fly" franchise. Both of the original albums have long been out of print and are extremely difficult to find; this disc constitutes an exact re-release of those two albums in one package, with the exact same tracks as the original releases.
It is impossible to praise the score for "The Fly" without recognizing the brilliance of the film itself. Director David Cronenberg's crowning achievement is an ingenious reworking of what is essentially a B-movie concept; the film has been interpreted as an allegory for aging, cancer, and the AIDS virus, and functions as a tragic love story as well as a genuinely disturbing horror picture.
To score "The Fly", Cronenberg turned to his longtime collaborator Howard Shore, now of "The Lord of the Rings" fame. Shore's score, while meeting the obligatory requirements of horror film scoring with dissonant string harmonics and dissonant brass intervals, also includes an unusually strong dose of theme. Shore mentions in the liner notes that both he and Cronenberg felt the music should have an operatic quality to it, and from the very beginning of the "Main Title" it is clear that this is to be a tragic, operatic tale. Shore weaves two primary themes throughout his score: the first, an pattern of descending and ascending major seconds, represents Seth Brundle's frightening and disturbing transformation; the second features the outlining of a minor triad with an added sixth as its primary melodic material, while a descending countermelody plays above; this theme heightens the tragic state of Brundle and his love for Veronica that is inevitably doomed.
Three years after the release of "The Fly", Fox decided it was time for the inevitable sequel and released "The Fly II". Directed by Chris Walas, the man who brought the groundbreaking makeup effects to life in the 1986 Cronenberg film, "The Fly II" works as a film on autopilot, attempting to recycle the gruesomeness of the first film without first finding a story that makes sense. Perhaps the only thing worth salvaging from this travesty is Christopher Young's score. Taking a distinctly different approach than Shore, Young elects to concentrate more on scene-specific underscore; although there are themes present in the score, Young does not utilize them to the extent that Shore did in his score. This approach yields some impressive results, such as "Musca Domestica Metastasis", a brilliant example of twentieth century atonality. The score is not without tonality, however; "Come Fly With Me" is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard in any medium, and the final track, "Dad", is a hauntingly beautiful piece featuring lovely cello playing.
As mentioned earlier, this is an exact re-release of the original 1986 and 1989 albums; there are no added tracks. Additionally, the somewhat arbitrary sequencing of the tracks (especially for "The Fly") has not been changed, leading to a somewhat frustrating experience for the listener attempting to recreate the film in their mind while listening to the music. If you own the original albums, there is little to gain from purchasing this set; if, like me, you were not old enough when these films were released to acquire the albums, and you are a diehard film score collector, it is well worth your money to invest in this set before these scores are once again out of print.

2 out of 5 stars Trash.......2006-04-06

I rate this CD 2 stars solely off Bun B's verse on Kodak Moment (RMX). He flows that hard. Everything else: is trash.

This is a very weak CD and the fact that it is CONTENT PROTECTED easily make this CD the worst in my collection. Sad.

3 out of 5 stars How Come?.......2006-03-16

Man, i was a fan of So So Def when it came to Da Brat. Right now, her and Young Capone are the only ones that seem lyrikal to me. Young Capone, he seems like the Lloyd Banks of So So. Evem though i don't like G-Unit, Lloyd Banks is the best there. But back to this, Da brat is really the only one that can stand up in the rap world and be recognized as a tru rapper/emcee. Brat, keep doin what u doin, Capone, switch to Black Wall Street if you wanna be liked.

1 out of 5 stars this is the weakest thing jd's done.......2006-03-09

come on jd you can do better this whole project is awful.

1 out of 5 stars 1-1/2 stars -- Dumb, dry and trashy.......2006-02-28

First things first: this compilation shouldn't even be called Jermaine Dupri Presents... because JD is only involved with two songs on here (he stars in "Gotta Getcha", and he produces one other song). Anyway, I'm not exactly sure what possessed him to put together Young, Fly & Flashy Vol. 1; whether he was just thinking about "the way we were", or if he just wanted to showcase some new young talent. Actually, maybe I shouldn't have said the latter, because it looks like JD dug up some of the most UNtalented people ever.

But things aren't very inspiring with the known artists, like when J-Kwon and Daz try to save "10 Toes". And I wonder how long ago that song was made because in it, J-Kwon says he's 17, but that's how old he was when "Tipsy" came out. I don't know WHY JD decided to dig up has-beens KP & Envyi for the dismal "Put Cha Hands Up" (that title even sounds like it came from 1997), and as for "I Think They Like Me", if it's really Dem Franchize Boyz' song, how come they're the only ones in there that can't rap?

Most of the rappers on here are unknowns, but in the end they really aren't WORTH knowing because even JD is a better rapper than they are. Miss B's "Grown Man" suffers from a corny chorus, and T. Waters' "Throw'd Off" is just plain wack. And Cato's lazy "So What" made me say just that. But the album's nadir is the title track, performed by Young Capone, Midnight, Champagne Shawty and C-Dirt. Not only is there lackluster production, but the guys' rapping is so bad that they make Chingy look like Rakim.

The only saving grace to this whole compilation is Bun-B's verse on the otherwise terrible "Kodak Moment". Unlike that title, though, this album isn't anything to remember. If Jermaine ever makes a Young, Fly & Flashy Vol. 2, I'll be the first person not to get it.

2 out of 5 stars Young, Fly & Flashy , Vol 1 by Jermaine Dupri.......2006-01-18

It's been nine years since So So Def CEO (and now Virgin Records' President of Black Music) Jermaine Dupri released the label's gold-certified compilation So So Def Bass All Stars, Vol. 1. Since then he has steered the careers of rappers Da Brat and Bow Wow as well as releasing three other compilations showcasing the diversity and talent among the South. In the past, all of Dupri's compilations have been launching pads for regional artists as well as critically-acclaimed albums. Not so with his latest effort, Young, Fly & Flashy Vol.1 (So So Def/Virgin). A poor attempt at showcasing the newest So So Def signees, the album falls short of providing a taste of how innovative and dope Southern Hip-Hop can be. Instead we are given a project full of lackluster tracks, recycled concepts and artists whose passion is just not enough to set them a part from the popular players of today's burgeoning Southern rap scene.

Newcomers Young Capone and The Kid Slim fail to impress on tracks like "I'm Hot" and the tedious "10 Toes". With talented artists like Boyz N Da Hood and Slim Thug repping heavily for the South, competition is too fierce for Dupri's newest draft picks to deliver with no originality. Party joints like "Gotta Getcha", which is too short to be enjoyed, and KP and Envyi's "Put Cha Hands Up" are both mediocre attempts at club-friendly radio songs. "Put Cha Hands Up" just does not get the party started the same way the duo's 1997 hit "Shorty Swing My Way" did. And what could have been a hot ode to exotic dancers if it was just a little longer ("Gotta Getcha"), clocks in at less than three minutes.

But Southern enthusiasts don't fret; all is not lost on this LP and there are a few tracks worth checking for. "Kodak Moment" is authentic down-South rider music featuring Kavious, Pastor Troy and UGK's Bun B. The addictive "I Think They Like Me" (Remix) is made for stuntin' in your ride and worth a listen just to hear Da Brat's scene-stealing bars. ATL veteran Pastor Troy shines again on "Just to Fight", which is reminiscent of his classics "No More Play in GA" and "I Declare War." Another heater, "Throw'd Off" featuring T. Waters is a catchy party joint guaranteed to have heads nodding in the club although the Asian-influenced track sounds similar to the Terror Squad's 2004 hit "Lean Back".

Staying true to today's formulaic topics (bling, pimping and the streets) combined with a lack of originality, Young, Fly and Flashy Vol. 1 could not have been more appropriately-titled. The album does little to give a true glimpse of the potential these newcomers possess, nor does it highlight the musical creativity and hit-making ability Jermaine Dupri is known and celebrated for.

5 out of 5 stars Great collection!.......2006-10-23

These two CDs are filled with very interesting and quite charming works for a very decent price! Although not all of these recordings are the best ones available, all of them are very well played, making this album an absolutely enjoyable collection, for children from 1 to 92!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful music!.......2005-02-09

My 3 year old loves listening to the story and music of Peter and the Wolf. Each animal is represented by an instrument. Peter is the violin, the bird is the flute, the cat is the clarinet, the duck is the oboe, Grandfather is the bassoon, the horn is the wolf, and the drums are the hunters. When my son hears the different sounds he loves identifying the characters. The other music is lovely and it's great to listen to in the car. I highly recommend this CD.

3 out of 5 stars disappointed.......2001-07-17

Yes the music is good, but how could they make a recording of 'Carnival of the Animals' that did not have the rhyming narration before each animal. Beware.

          5 out of 5 stars Awesome movies!.......2007-02-21

          These movies were just great, and brought back warm memories of my childhood. I was actually surprised to learn that I seemed to enjoy Fly 2 more than the first, even though it didn't even star Jeff Goldblum! Regardless, this is the movie you need to buy if you love sci-fi thrillers. The plot definitely is not disappointing!

          4 out of 5 stars SON OF THE FLY!.......2006-11-15

          Okay, so David Cronenberg wasn't the director behind the sequal. Knowing that, one might not have high expectations twords any of his sequals. Cronenberg is a Horror master who has made some of the best movies to ever come from the scene. SCANNERS, VIDEODROME, Stephen King's THE DEAD ZONE, THE BROOD and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE are just to name a few. His movies have a dark and evil quality to them, something that sticks with you for many days after watching one of his films. Like I was saying before, knowing that Cronenberg didn't direct the sequal to his classic remake of THE FLY might make people jump to conclusions. With all due respect to David Cronenberg, I'm willing to put my expectations aside and watch the sequal for what it is. THE FLY II is nothing more than a big budget, over the top, 1980's Horror movie sequal. The movie came out in the late 80's (1989 if I'm not mistaken), a time where Horror movie sequals were expected no matter what. Instead of Cronenberg directing the sequal, we have the special effects artist of the first remake stepping up to the plate. Personally I think this was a wise choice considering it makes the two movies look and feel the same. It's a small detail that really helps this sequal flow well from the Cronenberg classic. I always thought the special effects of the first movie were beyond horrifying. It's safe to say the sequal follows in the same foot steps in terms of nasty gore. THE FLY II starts out with a rather nice Horror birth scene (another actor playing the role of Geena Davis, I guess they couldn't get her back for the sequal) that sets up the brooding atmosphere of the entire movie. After the opening credits, the movie moves smoothly through the rather slim plot details and never once becomes boring. It's the perfect sequal to the original remake that dosn't try to become better than the first. THE FLY II seems to know it's place (being a close second to the first) and gives the Horror fans what they want to see. Horrible death scenes, nasty mutations, buckets of blood and lets not forget a healthy dose of revenge for the kicker! It's a sequal with "bite" and if you understand all the movie changes compared to the first one (different directors, different actors), it becomes a very enjoyable experiance. When it comes down to Horror movie sequals, I believe there are two kinds that can be made. The first kind is a well intended, big budget, carefully crafted sequal. I personally feel that THE FLY II was handled with care and respect when looking back to the first classic remake by Cronenberg. The other type of Horror movie sequals are cheap, thrown together, rushed, unexpected movies that don't respect the fans or the original. Thankfully, THE FLY II dosn't fall into that catagory and actually is a good Horror film. Gore hounds will be pleased to see tons of nasty gore and wicked special effects! The ending of the movie is a perfect example of how the 1980's Horror movie scene was done. Tons of latex, tons of blood and a nice little revenge twist to boot! Give THE FLY II a chance and expect nothing when watching it. Fans of movies such as THE THING and THE BLOB (1980's remake) have much to enjoy here! Incase your one of those "stuck up" viewers, I'll give you some advice before you watch this movie. Put aside your cocky opinion, stop thinking about the first movie, kick back, enjoy the gore and have fun! Who knows, you might actually enjoy yourself for once!

          5 out of 5 stars The first was good,but the sequel was a stinker........2006-08-19

          I love The Fly.It happens to be one of my favorite science-fiction films of all time.The film is about an eager scientist named Seth Brundle,who has built a teleportation device,although he can't really transport living things yet.When he lets Veronica,a reporter,in on his secret,she begins an affair with him.Soon,Seth is tired of failing at the telepods and tranports himself through it.But there is one small mistake:A fly was transported with him,so the two are now spliced together.Slowly,Seth begins to change,in both features and behaviour.Soon,Veronica knows that something is wrong when Seth's hair and body parts begin to fall off.Soon,Seth realizes the terrible truth:That he is turning into a fly.Soon,he is able to crawl along walls,regurgitate on his food,and spit acid just like a real fly.At the end,when he fully transforms,he decides to use the telporters to blend him and Veronica together when he learns that Veronica is pregnant with his baby.In the end,Veronica blows his head off with a shotgun.The Fly II,however,stunk beyond belief.The film covers the birth of Seth's son,Martin,who grows exceptionally fast and is kept at a medical building called Bartok Industries,where he learns that an evil boss has stolen his father's transporters and is trying to find out how to use them.Soon,Martin is all grown up and is given a room of his own,away from prying eyes.He immediatly sets to work trying to get his father's machine to work,and soon succeeds.But there is hitch.He has inherited his father's gift of transformation,and soon,he begins to mutate.He then breaks out of Bartok industries with a collegue friend and seeks shelter as the transformation gets worse.Soon,he returns to Bartok in a coccoon,where he is studied and analyzed.Soon,he breaks free and wreaks havoc in Bartok,killing all of it's employees and finally,giving Bartok the punishment he deserves.The film was a definite bomb compared to the first.You'll love this DVD,though.

          1 out of 5 stars Dire.......2006-07-31

          As I write this, 'The Fly' has a 2-disc collector's edition within the public's reach. Basically, that makes this purchase downright wrong.

          'The Fly 2', despite clearly having energy invested in it, is a disgrace. Everything shamefully pales in comparison to the original; direction, cinematography, set design, acting (of course), score. Basically every element that makes a film is downgraded about, say, eighteen levels with this sequel. There are a few scenes that work on their own (a horribly mutated dog painfully crawling to a bowl of mush moved me a good deal, surprisingly, and wasn't ineptly conceived like most the other scenes in the running time, also providing a parallel to a pretty great final scene (again out of the blue). Overall, though, this movie is a terrible mistake.

          'The Fly', to me, is a masterpiece of modern cinema (though flawed, like most), and '2' should have never been greenlit. Nothing original comes about in the storyline or subtext, so it's essentially like watching a butchered, amateur version of a classic. That is, before the film succumbs to a pathetic attempt at a B-grade monster flick. I'm talking made-for-TV quality... and mediocre TV quality at that... You'd think, given the director of this sequel was the mad genius behind the special effects in Cronenberg's film, we'd at least bare witness to some impressive (if superficial) aesthetics. But, what I've learned so much in comparing these two films -- and what's truly a learning experience that, the more I think about it, the more important a realization it really is -- lighting and the creation of appropriate ambience is just as critical as anything in any given film. Seriously -- and I mean this -- the few moments where Goldblum, with his ever-growing bug eyes, gives his 'Insect Politics' speech and stares into the gleeming blue sky with a horrifying sense of wonder, are worth infinitely more than the near two hour runtime of this dead on arrival monster. In that particular scene -- despite Goldblum's mesmerizing performance and an unforgettable monologue -- the stunning fly transformation effects, combined with particular shades of breathtakingly dramatic color selections and a pulsating, melancholy twilight bring out of its audience powerful emotions few films can grasp. You can have the most talented, brilliant special effects crew in the world, but without the elements I mentioned, they just come across as cheap and, quite frankly -- in the case of 'The Fly 2' -- ghastfully bad.

          Avoid it entirely. It's not even worth it as an act of sheer curiosity. Then again, the knowledge I personally derived described above is pretty invaluable -- though, granted, this is a guy who has only taken the most trivial of film classes. But, if there's 'any' reason to bring it into your home, that's gotta be it.

          3 out of 5 stars "It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success.".......2006-06-08

          "A man will rise,
          A man will fall,
          From the sheer face of love,
          Like a fly from a wall.
          It's no secret at all."-The Fly, U2

          There were three men who wanted to prove they each were the best swordsman in the land. The three were gathered in front of a large crowd to showcase their skill. On the first swordsman's turn, he saw a fly, took one swipe, and cut the fly in half. The second swordsman got up, saw another fly, made two swipes, and cut the fly in four quarters. The third swordsman got up, saw another fly, took one swipe, and the fly flew away leaving the third swordsman with a big smile on his face. Everyone said, "Why are you smiling? The fly is still alive." The swordsman said, "Yes, but he'll never be able to have children."

          I wish somebody had stopped the first fly from having any children, then none of us would have been subjected to this movie's sequel.

          It's not bad, which is why I gave it three stars, but it's just inferior, like 98% of most sequels.

          Here was Eric Stoltz before every role he played in was sleazy in some way (Murder of Crows, The Butterfly Effect, The Honeymooners). I'm not too crazy about him or Daphne Zuniga. I didn't even like her in Melrose Place...but anyway.

          Okay for a late night thrill, I guess.
