The penultimate collection ..........2006-12-07

Generally I agree with Strategos in his ecstatic Spotlight Review above. It is a joy to here some of the most memorable themes and cues from some of the most memorable science fiction and fantasy movies (re)recorded in great sound and in lavish (re)orchestrations, played by renowned classical orchestras, namely the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra, no less.

I have always had a weak spot for (good, or maybe even intelligent) science fiction/fantasy and film music, especially its way of evoking mystery, grandure and wide open spaces. Call it a weakness if you want. But it was maybe really kick started off, for as far as I can remember, with Star Trek. But especially Star Trek II, III and IV - essentially a trilogy - because of their very romantic but very warm, human core, set on the broadest canvasses of unlimited and mysterious outer space. But then there was the music for adding that essential extra dimension of emotion and atmosphere. I am happy that much of the music on this album is from the Star Trek series and films, often equaling or sometimes even outclassing the original recordings.

This kind of music (for the movies) should be seen as an art on its own rights with its own merits and qualities. As such, the musical sequences on these CD's are a beautifully played cross section of some of the most evoking orchestral music for science fiction/fantasy film ever created. And I very much like the nicely blended, wide and deep orchestral soundpicture with enough reverberation to evoke a sense of wide open spaces.
I am quite thrilled by tracks like the evocative music from Dune, truly transporting one to the vastly sands of Arrakis (the music is wonderful, but to my great regret I think the movie itself is a flawed masterpiece at best, alas.). And then there is the very different, goofy music for Ghostbusters (memories of childhood), the spoofy but electrifying music from Mars Attacks (lovingly parodist music, this, with not a little touch of irony) and the happily adventurous, forward driving Theme from Galaxy Quest ('Never give up, never surrender!'), now also used for the internet-based fan-series Star Trek: The Hidden Frontier. On the other side of the spectrum we have the atmospheric music for Enemy Mine (an underestimated 'little' movie), the Theme from The Right Stuff (actually science FACT, not fiction, this film, just like Apollo 13, of course), the eerily attractive music for Species, the original End Title for Alien (not used in the theatrical version of the movie, where it was replaced by music from howard Hanson's Second Symphony), the exquisitely exotic music for Stargate, the sweet and warmly sympathetic, beautifully re-orchestrated, theme for Starman, the title cue for Star Trek: TOS (much more melodiously played than the original! If only a series nowadays could continue to be as thought provoking and as original as Star Trek was during its launch, fourty years ago ...) and a truly overpowering End Titles Suite from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I especially like the thrillingly grandiloquent rendition here of the music for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. And how nice it is to hear the (thematic) similarities between James Horner's music for The Wrath of Khan, his great break-through as a film music composer, and his (two years) earlier music for Battle Beyond the Stars (which did indeed help him earn the job for writing the music for Star Trek II) ...

But on the 'down side', if one is looking for - for example - the gorgeously expansively played End Titles from Cocoon, it is not included here: one has to acquire the album that 'kicked it all off', so to say, namely 'Space and Beyond', also on Silva Screen. I was very pleased also with the inclusion on that album of some of the music from the series Star Trek: The Next Generation, namely where one of the characters, Tasha Yar, in one of the episodes (Skin of Evil) is saying goodbye to her crewmmates: sweetly sentimental and simple music which I have always wanted to own on CD. I guess that a few cues from the other two sequals ('Alien Invasion: Space and Beyond II' and 'Space3: Beyond the Final Frontier') didn't make it onto this 4 CD collection-album as well, but I guess that it would be the 'better part of the bargain' to opt to buy this 'The Science Fiction Album' instead of buying all three albums separately. Well, of course it is for yourself to ultimately decide what you really want ;-)

If I were to nitpick (which is not easy with such a marvellous project as this one), then I would say that while all music is performed with magnificent grandure and with style, some of it is not performed as crisply and as technically 'on the spot' as some of the original recordings: ensemble is a little slack and the playing somewhat stilted sometimes, losing some of the edge and the originality of the writing. ET and Star Wars spring to mind, but then the soundtracks for Star Wars are traditionally recorded with the magnificent London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by maestro John Williams himself, and these superior recordings (especially the ones for Episode I, II and III) can't really be bettered, IMHO. Likewise for the music from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I believe that in the end one really has to resort to the ultimate reference, namely the original recording (which is true in many other instances of 'original recordings'), and then the 20th anniversay colector's edition of this soundtrack on Columbia/Legacy (truly unmissable, this veritable classic of sci-fi/film music soundtracks!).

But all in all this 4CD-collection amounts to probably being the penultimate high quality sci-fi music album collection (I certainly know of no other project that comes as close quality as well as quantity wise), with some of the most memorable musical moments from classic to modern sci-fi/fantasy film captured in lavish orchestrations.
Collection-wise: five *stars*. Playing: generally four *stars*, sometimes more. The recording quality: five *stars*. The music (qualified on its own merits as film music) and its (re)orchestrations: generally five *stars*. In the end this is all highly recommended, and certainly not to be missed by science fiction and fantasy film music fans. Klaatu barada nikto.

Muisic of the Spheres.......2006-11-06

You wonderful four disk collection of SF music. It startsa up the the grand master of SF music, 2001: A space Odyssey all the way to Superman. This is all American SF music and several themes I would have liked to have included are not there. All in all though, a collection you will enjoy.

The Ulllllltimate Sci-Fi Music Collection.......2005-10-23

If one person gives great gifts, it's the illustrious Codemaster Talon. I've received a fair number of gifts in my lifetime, but so far, my older sister's take the cake. Take this one for instance. I'm real big on orchestral music, to the point where I listen to them more than any other kind of music. I've got orchestral versions of video game themes, orchestral soundtracks to truck-loads of anime shows (Big O, Escaflowne, and Giant Robo are incredible), and could probably spend the rest of my life just trying to study the nuances of all the classical music I've got. Being such a huge fan of orchestral music, I also have come to believe that orchestra music produced for movies and television is the new classical music (or as someone once said, Mozart would be making music for movies if he were alive today). Being a huge sci-fi fan, that kind of music has always been particularly near and dear to my heart. But were I to buy each and every soundtrack for every sci-fi I liked it would cost quite a bundle, and would include a lot of sub-par music along with the grandiose and fantastic main and memorable themes. That's where this beauty comes in.

The moment I ripped off the shrink-wrap and popped it into my cd player was a moment of great trepidation. Believe me when I tell that I've seen my fair share of sub-par orchestral recording in my lifetime. Very often they are in those big super-packs of music, and suffer from poor direction, improper mastering, and sometime even pathetic orchestration (or worse yet have something sounding like a cheap synthesizer and a kazoo in place of a full orchestra). I needn't have worried though. This sucker is fantastic.

Many people who are not audiophiles will probably miss the point of this cd collection. It is not the original versions of the pieces. It is re-orchestrations, mostly by the phenomenal Prague Symphony Orchestra. Many of these themes didn't sound all that hot in there original versions because they were low budget films or were not recorded in high-fidelity. Here they are given the full treatment, mastered with the most loving care imaginable. Often the version found in these cds is SUPERIOR to the original.

Remember the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Of course you do. But how many times have you heard a cheap imitation of the original version from the movie, starting too low in volume and ending too high (and missing the essential pipe-organ that gives it that extra oomph)? Well, this first track in the entire collection is not only everything it should be instrumental and timing-wise, but it also has been oh-so-carefully adjusted during the mastering process so that at no time is the music either too low or too high in volume (surely a benchmark for every other recording ever to be made of the piece).

Or what about the theme from the (at-the-time) uber-creepy The Black Hole? The orchestration of this piece of music goes from tiumphant to terrifying and back again, with a splendor and cleanness that I CERTAINLY don't remember being in the original recording.

Then there's the new version of the theme from Independence Day, complete with a violin solo, a far more electrifying ending climax, and a chorus so thunderous that you feel like applauding at the end. Simply indescribable. Kind of like the MIND-BLOWING rendition of the theme from The Last Star Fighter. This has been one of my favorite themes for a long time now, but I've never heard it played like this. I think the original version of the theme is something like 1 minute long, but this new version doesn't just fade out (HAHAHAHA!!!!) THIS version is THREE minutes long, goes through the main theme THREE times, with the final strains being so triumphant and joyous I could not help but feel an electrifying charge the first dozen or so times (come to think of it, I still feel that way). This is superior to the original in EVERY way. AWESOME.

And let's not forget the incredible new rendition of Stargate with it's heavy use of clarinets (for Egyptian effect!) and a triumphant new ending (completely lacking the chanting from the original version. This version is so different that for the first minute it is very hard to tell that it is in fact Stargate. But then the main theme kicks in, and then you get this incredible flute solo for my favorite part of theme (the whole thing is played slower, but arguably more powerfully than the original). My goodness. At first I found the thing so different I didn't like it. But then I listened to it again. And again. And again.

I could go on and on, talking about the fantastic new rendition of Moon Raker, the ear-popping Battlestar Galactica, the classic Star Trek (First Contact has a minute or two of the theme from Star Trek:The Motion Picture before going into the main theme), or the sweet renditions of music from the Star Wars movies (or the music from E.T.).

I have to mention though that this collection was not picked based merely on what people want, or on what is popular. No, the people who made it obviously thought a GOOD music collection was better than a popular one. That's why you get a heartbreakingly beautiful theme from A.I. instead of the main theme. It's why you get music from movies that you probably never gave a second thought to the music (because the movie was lousy). It's why you get Armageddon, Judge Dredd, and Robocop (who would have guessed their music was so COOL when there was all that crazy action and bad-acting going on on-screen).

I said it before and I'll say it again. This cd-set was mastered with tender-loving-care, and it shows BIG-TIME. High-fidelity the likes of which I have not seen since the days when cds were brand-new in the world. Dolby Surround. Perfectly balanced. BEAUTIUFL orchestrations. About the only thing that makes me scratch my head is the weird sound-effect tracks (Oooookay.....). Other than that, it's PERFECT. Obviously they could not include every sci-fi theme ever (no one can), but this collection is REALLY GOOD. A lot of great themes that got away (forgotten gems :), new versions of old favorites, and under-appreciated classics aplenty, but ALWAYS the full and complete versions with nothing cut-out (the theme from Dune is quite extended).

If you love movie music (and sci-fi movie music in particular) you MUST buy this awesome collection). It is not the original recordings. Almost always the new ones are better (if they aren't better they're just equal). This is what you have been waiting for. I for one am going to be buying quite a few cds from this company in the future. Give your ears the treat they deserve. Buy it NOW.

SciFi Album gift.......2005-07-20

I bought the Science Fiction Album as a gift for my son who is twenty-one years old. He is a musician, and also a huge fan of many SciFi shows and movies. I thought this would be the perfect thing for him and I was right. He loves it!

Away From to be a Collectible Peace.......2004-12-16

If you like Sci-Fi movies and want a compilation of their important scores, this is the CD-set to buy. But let me warn you about that very few songs in the cds are from the original soundtracks. Most of them is re-recorded by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. But the sound quality of cds are very good, because they have HDCD and Dolby Surround labels. This set is away from to be a collectible peace, but it is a good general compilation of favorite Sci-Fi movie scores.

Maroon ~When Worlds Collide~ 3 1/2 stars.......2006-05-11

Maroon's debut album on Century Media (there third overall) is a punishing affair that further epitomizes metalcores adoration for Gothenburg aggression. While not directly being a Gothenburg band themselves (Maroon are from Germany), they take a few of the same influences that Killswitch Engage use and make it their own in a brand of metalcore that is finding itself a home in the United States.

The bands production and sound is driving and laced with cutting leads. Finding themselves akin to bands such as As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage, Maroon can actually be much more melodic ("The Omega Suite Pt. 2") than either of these bands tends to be, though their use of melodic vocals is sparse at best on the album. Songs like "Sword and Bullet" and "24 Hour Hate" are pretty much as stereotypical of the modern metalcore sound: Great lead guitar work, harsh vocals, breakdowns.

Tinged with acoustic interludes and instrumentals, this album has enough diversity to keep you interested and the songs never drag past the 5 minute mark. "The Omega Suite Pt. 2" is one of the better instrumental songs I've heard this year and, all around, one of the best metalcore songs I've heard this year. Also, pay close attention to the fullness of the closing track "Below Existence," with the acoustic breakdown. A strong finish to a solid album.

While not doing anything entirely new, any fan of great metalcore will be able to get down with this album. If you're looking for something new though, this may not be the way to go.

For Fans of: Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Soilwork

The difinitive American D&B / Jungle Album of the 20th C........2000-04-22

Single-handedly responsible for the american revolution of drum n bass production, never before has an american artist harnessed this style of music to this degree of complexity and creativity. Big up to the artist formerly know as 187. The name is now JORDANA. When searching in your local store or on Amazon, look for "Jordana" for upcoming releases. Are you ready for the definitive Drum N Bass album for the 21st Century? You'd better be... Because Jordana will bring it to you.

5 stars x5 best jungle album EVER.......1999-11-04

no joke here, i have had the cd about 3 years now, i am not tired of it AT ALL. i love every song on this cd, its got melody some of the hardest bass i have ever heard, jordana's style is the most unique i have heard, can you belive that for some of the voice samples on there were done on a speak-and-spell? this is truely my favorite cd of all time, mad props to jordana

If I could give it more stars...I would!.......1999-03-05

If you're from the old school, then you already know! If you're a newbie on the scene, get this and amaze even you're coolest jungle head friends. Being an old schooler and a hard core Jungle Head myself, Jordana has done a wonderful job on this album. 5am Rise wakes me up every morning and brings me back to my Junior High days (I'm not that old kids!...I'm 19) with "5 o'clock in tha mornin" and the 20/20 report about shutting down raves. If you want to be a true raver/jungle head/d&b head/whatever....get this album! -='"PLUR"'=-

The best of CD of Mars Lasar ?.......2002-05-25

Until recently, I didn't know of Mars Lasar in spite of my hours of research on music web site and at Amazon.com. Being French Canadian, his music is not easily available. Mars contacted me using my music station to invite me to listen his music. Listening to his songs available on a music web site, I was immediately impressed and touched by this music, so rich in textures and nuances. His new release 'When Worlds Collide' is in my opinion a superb synthesis. Everything is there: the melody, the rate/rhythm, the emotion and energy emerging are "contagious". In addition to this musical richness, this production has great sound quality. This production would deserve to be better known (and all others). I shared his music with several people and all, without exception, liked it immediately.

Apropos.......2001-09-17

How apropos is this title, in keep with current affairs! The music is equally moving and transpots the listener to a better place.

Super Project!.......2001-03-06

I cannot remember how many albums Mars Lasar had already released.But I will say every cd is perfect. In this newest one,I can even find out some samples which are similar to Enigma.And there are a lot better! Surely it is a New Age album.That is for the fan of Enigma,Enya and so on. I highly recommend you the check it out!

Mixed Bag.......2006-02-19

I just love the Celtic Christian Progressive...er Jazz Rock...er...Irish/Scottish Folk band "Iona". What a mixed bag of great music that there is no way to explain it. Time to branch off & see what else they have to offer. Dave Bainbridge is one of the original members of Iona creating the band's unique blend of music with his fast & very talented guitar playing. In this CD "When Worlds Collide", he joins forces with Troy Donockley, an Irish Folk Rock musician.

Half of the CD is played live at 2 places: "The Studio" in Hartlepool on Nov. 28, 2003 & at Pocklington Arts Centre on Feb. 6, 2004. The remainder of the CD is recorded at Iona's own studio "Open Sky Studio".

Some of the songs are Irish folk classics such as "The Great Silkie of Sules Skerry" & "Merrily Kiss the Quaker", others are from Iona as in "Edge of the World" & "Bi-Se I Mo Shuil", & the remainder are either written from Troy Donockley or Dave Bainbridge that at times intermix different styles with the above.

Therefore sometimes your listening to a live Irish jig with Uilleann Pipes, whistles, bouzoukis, & guitars. Then comes an abstract modern classical piano piece, then a guitar solo...what a mixed bag. This gives a mixed impression: Should one listen to one song at a time & enjoy the obvious talent, & ignore that this certainly not a concept or a holistic CD? A "5" for talent but I give a "4" for the odd mix.

its not that the material is bad, it is simply repeated.......2005-05-17

The entire first disc is available on other Silva America CDs, (at the time the star wars songs were the first release, but now they are on Music from the Star Wars saga), the rest on "Space and Beyond" "Space and Beyond 2: Alien Invasion", "The Cult Files" and "Battlestar Galactica A-Z of SciFi/Fantasy TV Themes". The re-recordings are cool but this is mainly a rehash of other cd's, as I said, the entire first cd is available on other Silva collections, and only 9 of the 15 tracks on cd 2 are not available on any other cd i own from Silva. (I don't have Cult Files re-opened or Space and beyond 3, who knows they might be on there)

Obviously, when this album was originally released, the main appeal was the newly recorded star wars tracks, this cd has become more or less obsolete, its still a nice collection, but if you own the other Silva cd's. you don't really need this.

"Silva takes film-score-buffs to the far reaches of space".......2002-05-17

Just in time for the latest George Lucas "Star Wars-Episode II:Attack Of The Clones"(5/16)(John Williams) ~ Silva America and James Fitzpatrick have gathered eight cues from previous Star Wars films to thrill us again. Get ready for another chapter in the ongoing saga of inner planetary tales, all collected for your listening pleasure in Silva's latest release ~ "The Science Fiction Album Volume 1" with 34 tracks on a futuristic 2-CD-Set(with a 3-D cover insert), much like the science fiction pulp covers from the '40s, inticing the reader to purchase, read and dive into another world of aliens and creatures from far reaches of space and planets.

This collection features the best of the best composers and film scores ~ David Arnold(INDEPENDENCE DAY)~ John Barry(THE BLACK HOLE)~ Bruce Broughton(LOST IN SPACE)~ Bill Conti(THE RIGHT STUFF MAIN THEMES)~ Danny Elfman(MARS ATTACKS)~ Jerry Goldsmith(CAPRICORN ONE/ALIEN)~ James Horner(APOLLO 13 MAIN TITLE)~ Glen Larson & Stu Phillips(BATTLESTAR GALACTICA MAIN THEMES)~ Henry Mancini(LIFEFORCE)~ Basil Poledouris(STARSHIP TROOPERS)~ Trevor Rabin(ARMAGEDDON)~ Alan Silvestri(BACK TO THE FUTURE/PEDATOR)~ Leith Stevens(WAR OF THE WORLDS/WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE)~ Dimitri Tiomkin(THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD)~ John Williams(STAR WARS MAIN TITLE/HAN SOLO AND THE PRINCESS/THE IMPERIAL MARCH/FOREST BATTLE/THE FLAG PARADE/ANAKIN'S THEME/ADVENTURES OF JAR JAR/DUEL OF THE FATES/ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE/E.T.-THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL/CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND).

No doubt the above composers excel in the world of film music, notice how many John Williams scores appear in this collection. Williams is without a doubt one of the major players in this genre, but there are many other composers who can stand up to his high marks when it comes to bringing the full force of a story through music. One such composer is Henry Mancini, if you ever had any doubts about this mans ability to score any film, whether it be drama, comedy, action or sci-fi...this question is answered here with "LIFEFORCE", gives the audience a cinematic education tightly coiled around directors Tobe Hooper's story of outer space vampires. Within each cue of the film, Mancini's score takes over and we are pleasantly surprised with the results.

If you're a "film-score-buff", like I am...then this collection from the '50s', '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s is an absolute must. As an added bonus we feature the world renowned ~ The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra with conductors Paul Bateman, Nicholas Dodd and Nic Raine, plus, yes plus the Crouch End Festival Chorus and one of my favorite sopranos Charlotte Kinder. When it comes to releasing compilations of this magnitude, most labels tend to become much safer in their choices, afraid to make a mistake. Silva America takes the risk and it always pays off, this is one of those times ~ looking forward to "The Science Fiction Album Volume 2", gotta love it!

Customer Reviews:

Great summation of a band that should have been huge.......2003-01-20

I suppose we all have our lost causes, and one of mine is Thin White Rope. If they ever made a bad album, I haven't found it, and they left in their wake an astonishingly large number of truly great songs. Why didn't they make it hugely? I have no idea. I can only say that many far less talented bands have achieved far more success.

The heart of the band is Guy Kyser, who provided both the vocals and most of the song writing. Some find his voice unnerving, but I find it unique and perfectly suited to the strange lyrics he wrote. But if you don't like Kyser's voice, you won't like Thin White Rope.

The songs on this album are taken from the band's several studio albums. Not all of my favorites are on this disc; in particular, I miss "Disney Girl," but that is a personal preference only. All in all, it does a really find job of hitting all their best work. This album will either hit you right away, or not at all. If you aren't sold by the end of "Down in the Desert," TWR might be a lost cause for you.

I would strongly recommend anyone interested in Thin White Rope who doesn't are can't collect all the albums to at least pick up this anthology and the absolutely stunning live album they released, THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY. They may be gone, but hopefully thanks to these two great albums, they won't be forgotten.

Blistering, compelling rock.......1999-02-13

I bought this because I'd heard the opening track "Down in the Desert" and thought it excellent. I was stunned to find the whole CD is supreme...this is surely one of the best kept secrets in all of rock. Thin White Rope are a combination of Television and Sonic Youth and Nick Cave and Pavement and better than all of them. "When Worlds Collide" is one of my most treasured CDs and one of the greatest compilations in the history of rock music.
