Ennio Morricone is well-known to moviegoers. His soundtracks for The Mission, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America, Cinema Paradiso, and others are invariably warmly melodic and superbly suited to the films they grace. They not only add atmosphere; they help tell the story. For this CD Morricone has created new orchestrations for many of his scores, adding a solo cello part for the indefatigable Yo-Yo Ma, whose musical curiosity seems to be endless. Outside the films, these pieces tend to be lovely melodies, mostly pretty sentimental stuff, and, in the best way, gorgeous aural wallpaper. The most moving are the two selections from The Mission, but fans of Morricone's music will find plenty to enjoy here. Ma's playing, as always, is exquisite---warm, deeply felt (given the circumstances), and entirely idiomatic within the context. Perhaps not quite for the classical music lover, but an affectionate reworking of music by an important film composer. --Robert Levine

5 out of 5 stars Is it bad to say I like this better than the original soundtrack?.......2007-06-02

I never thought Yo-Yo Ma would do Gabriel's Oboe (Track 1) from THE MISSION justice, but I was wrong. There's a pureness to this version that makes it easier casual listening than the version(s) on the soundtrack CD itself. So no matter how much I love the theatrical "largeness" of the Original Soundtrack (not to mention the full choir), this is the version I grab for the CD player/iPod/whatever.

My two other recommendations are Main Theme from ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (Track 11) and Ecstasy of Gold from THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY (Track 12). I suggest playing these consecutively as a single medley. Track 11 *WILL* bring tears to the manliest among us --particularly if you remember in the movie where Sergio Leone pulls the camera up to reveal the town rising.

I get the feeling "hardcore" classical fans would dismiss movie scores as commercial work. I truly believe Ennio Morricone transcends that. Even moreso than, say, John Williams, and on a different plane than a Danny Elfman. And I can't say more about the emotion Yo-Yo Ma brings to the table than what's already been discussed.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Exquisite.......2007-05-15

The combination of Morricone and Ma is pure perfection. This CD fills my heart with so much joy that I could just cry. I listen to it almost daily and have given it away as a gift to my loved ones. I am captivated by their incredible talents, and I know you will be too.

4 out of 5 stars Yo Yo Ma and the Maestro Marvelous!!!.......2007-05-13

Having recently succumbed to Yo Yo Ma after a longtime love of Ennio Marricone I was excited to get this CD from Amazon. It is superb! All of the songs had to be recrafted by Morricone to suit Yo Yo Ma but it is a great listen as you sonically travel down memory lane through some of Maestro Moricone's musical marvels. "Gabriel's Oboe" from "The Mission" now becomes "Gabriel's Cello." I laugh as Yo Yo Ma bows his brains out on the "Ecstacy of Gold' from "The Good,The Bad, and The Ugly." I recommend this to all Yo Yo Ma and Morricone fans...a great listen. Soothing after a hard day!

5 out of 5 stars Better Every Time.......2007-05-09

This CD gets better with every listening. It was a great purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous CD.......2007-05-07

I love Morricone and this CD has some of the best versions of my favorite pieces. I have ordered several as gifts for friends.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good companion for Battlestar Fans.......2007-05-07

If you're a Battlestar Galatica Fan, this audio is an excellent companion to your collection. Passacaglia, Forgiven, and The Shape of Things to Come are emotional and addictive orchestral soundtracks. Not every song from the first season is included in this CD. The opening credit songs for the UK and the US versions and the battle songs (The Thousandth Landing, Battle on the Asteroid) are included. Battlestar Muzaktica is quite odd and doesn't fit with the collection of songs.

5 out of 5 stars Captures the feel of the show.......2007-04-11

Has a great selection of songs from the 1st season. I like show/movie CDs that you can picture the scenes and emotion of the actors when you hear the song. The Celtic underlays are great, and the Taiko drumming style is very well used for building intensity in the music. If you really like the series, you should probably really enjoy the music as well!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Soundtrack.......2007-04-11

If you like the music in a scene that just blends in and makes the scene even more emotional or suspenseful, that is what the scores from season one do on this cd. I initially bought it to for the prologue (cylon music) and the two main titles (U.S. and U.K.) but after listening to the entire cd, I have become completely addicted to it. The titles of the scores usually give you a hint of the scene and the liner notes also tell you the episode that they are from but the soundtrack has definitely made rewatching season one an even more intriguing experience. The scores with words, are written by Bear and are in various languages, but the words, especially the opera piece, are actually so dead one with the scene and in this specific scene hilarious. I love this soundtrack. If you are someone who is addicted to really grasping everything that happens in this show and watch and analyze it beyond face value, this is an added bonus to have in your collection. I highly recommend it!!!

4 out of 5 stars BSG.......2007-04-10

Man I love the Classic and the Present BSG's So Inaturally find the SoundTrack/Score A joy and very relaxing. They tend to sound very similar but they are very diffrent.

5 out of 5 stars Agree with everyone else.......2007-03-28

There have been lots of raving reviews of this album, as well as the equally sensational season 2 soundtrack. I just wanted to add my opinion on one track, "Destiny". An earlier review describes an Arabic string instrument being used, but it is actually a biwa, a traditional Japanese instrument that has such a distinct sound that it's hard to imagine it being used for anything other than traditional gagaku music. I don't know if anyone but McCreary has ever tried to use this instrument for something else, but it hardly matters. The fact that McCreary managed to use it so effectively in a piece that is so different from gagaku music is a perfect testament to his unique genius. I'm really looking forward to following McCreary's career.

4 out of 5 stars Good as far as soundtracks go.......2007-07-29

I'm not sure how to make this terribly objective, so at the risk of bias, I'll just say what's on my mind.

I enjoy this particular set of music. Not all of it is interesting - in particular there's a fair amount of percussion solo and soli (not a typo) sections that struck me as boring. Then again, I'm just one person with one particular set of likes and dislikes. Keep this in mind.

I bought this CD along with the soundtracks for seasons one and two, and so my comparisons will be based mostly on the three albums. Of those three, the miniseries soundtrack (the one you're looking at) probably has about as much music I like as the other two combined. Some good tracks:

1. "Are you alive?" / BSG main title
4. To Kiss or Not to Kiss (warm and serene - great to listen to when you need a little internal peace)
5. The Day Comes
17. Apollo Is Gone / Starbuck Returns (similar to track 4)
21. Reunited
24. Battle (one of the more interesting percussion sections - I wish I knew what kind of drum was used for this)
25. Good Night
26. By Your Command (a great recap with that creepy Cylon theme)

A rather large gap there, between tracks 5 and 17 - you might say that's the meat of the material I was bored by.

4 out of 5 stars BSG Fan.......2007-04-10

I Love Soundtrack. And I love the Battle Star Galactica Series both classic and Present. It's great to listen to the sound of the series. They are a little diffrent than what I'm use to liking in a SoundTrack or Score. But their enjoyable and relaxing to me.

5 out of 5 stars Dark but Original / Non Bombastic but very moving and it grows on you.......2007-03-17

After finally catching up on the series and downloading the 3rd season from ITunes I can finally write a review for the soundtracks. After watching the miniseries and the first season of the new Battlestar Galactica I of course ordered the soundtracks.

Let's of course start here with Battlestar Galactica: The miniseries soundtrack and then later I'll write a review for the first and second season...I recieved my copy of the miniseries last week but I wanted to hear the soundtrack a few times before giving my review..at first I was going to give it 4 stars because at times part of the score can be very dark and not be rich in color but I think after listening to this a few times now I can agree with some of the other reviewers and say this definitely grows on you.

I too was critical and not sure what direction the soundtrack was going to go being a fan of the original series and the way Stu Phillips wrote the score but after watching the miniseries and finding out that Richard Gibbs a former member of Oingo Boingo had taken the helm for the mini I was intrigued. I of course watched the mini and was pleasantly surprised how good it worked in the show but maybe not quite on cd but again listening on cd it has grown on me. I think overall for many soundtrack fans I can understand this isn't the most pleasant of soundtracks but like a lot of things it is an aquired taste. So if I could give a 4 1/2 instead of a 5 I would but unfortunately there is either 4 or 5 to give and I'm giving it a 5 because it is original and shows that not all science fiction has to be so unrealistic that it has to have a sweeping bombastic crashing score.

This is by far the most realistic science fiction television show ever even though Babylon 5 is very very close 2nd. In this soundtrack it shows that the even in their universe life isn't perfect. The score is dark but very beautiful in it's own sense beginning with "Are You Alive?" which becomes the signature theme for #6 throughout the series and of course is used in the prologue before each episode. Fans of the original Battlestar Galactica theme don't be dissapointed that it isn't featured here in the soundtrack from the decommissioning ceremony because Bear McCreary has Stu Phillips as a guest during the 2nd season to compose the theme a little differently in one of the episodes and is included on the 2nd season disc so please refer to that disc and you won't be dissapointed plus you can read several reviews inluding mine very soon.

A few more things inluding Track #19 Thousands Left Behind-I of course won't be giving anything away here but the music is so realistic in a sense that it does make me remember that scene in the movie and how the event could actually take place here on Earth.

There are plenty more tracks that I could review here but overall there are so many to choose from that are so good and rich that even some of the ones that may seem almost too dark and feel like fillers are better with each listen. This music is very reminiscent of the individual Babylon 5 episodic discs that I own but just a bit darker. No you can't have a party or have a cadance with this soundtrack but if you have an open mind and enjoy this music for what it is really meant to do and describe a documentary style of tv show then I will not be dissapointed. Give this soundtrack a shot and by the time you get to Season 1 and Season 2 (both the series and soundtrack) you will want to go back and listen to the miniseries soundtrack again and again because it truely grows on you plus it's so surreal and realistic that it's a good listen on almost any occasion

Don't be afraid because it's dark it's refreshing to listen to other music than Star Wars or Star Trek or even the original Battlestar Galactica. Trust me you will appreciate how good this score really is and not to take away from other Sci Fi music like Star Wars because I really enjoy those scores too but this breaks up the monotany and shows a different side of the universe a little more realistic...Enjoy!!..now look for me on Season 1 review..

4 out of 5 stars Spare, but true.......2007-01-10

Listening to Richard Gibb's sound track for Battlestar Galactica is a bit jarring at first. Perhaps that has to do with the shock of such a minimalistic score after becoming used to the much richer scores from the Season One & Season Two disc sets. That being said, however, Richard Gibb's music is still very pleasing in it's own right. The spare, crisp notes lose none of the flavor of the first two discs, of which he was also a performer.

All three albums together create a very complete audio picture of this fantastic drama. Well worth adding to one's collection.

4 out of 5 stars A stellar score for a ground-breaking show.......2006-11-08

When Battlestar Galactica re-appeared it was clear that we were dealing with something that would challenge our expectations of a sci-fi drama, and it did so with such critical success that it made fans of people from widely varied and unlikely walks of life.

A great deal of the success of the tone of this show is attributible to Richard Gibbs' score, which is as unconventional as the show itself. Stark Koto drum arrangements underscore battle scenes to add to tension, and the times of desperate peril are sometimes voiced by simple sad bell arrangements which run counterpoint to the direness of the situations. The music is truly another main character to provide reference to the action, and always in an unconventional way.

Pick this up to relive the spectacle of the show, or to give similar mood to your day in the world which our heroes on Galactica are so valiantly trying to find.

These recordings range back to 1994, with a number of tracks being from Silva Screen's "Music from the Films of Clint Eatwood" compilation, with Derek Wadsworth conducting the City of Prague Philharmonic.

Those tracks are: "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", "A Fistful of DOllars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "Two Mules for Sister Sara". "In The Line Of Fire' also appeared on that CD, performed electronically by Mark Ayres.


The next bunch of tracks is from Silva Screen's 1996 compilation, "Cinema Paradise: The Classic Film Music of Ennio Morricone", which included the majority of tracks here such as the extensive The Mission Suite, The Untouchables, Casulaties of War, Once Upon a Time In America, 1900, Chi Mai, Marco Polo, Once Upon a Time In The West (two tracks), Cinema Paradise, and The Good the Bad and the Ugly - Ecstacy of Gold, mostly being conducted by Paul Bateman, with Nic Raine doing some of the conducting duties as well.

Hamlet is from Silva's 1997 "Cinema's Classic Romances" compilation, while "The Thing" is from Silva's 2001 "Essential John Carpenter".

A Fistful of Dynamite - Duck You Sucker is from 2002's Way Out West: Essential Western Film Music Collection Volume Two.

The remaing tracks were newly recorded in 2004 for this release:
Days of Heaven, Exorcist II, Guns for San Sebastian, Moses the Lawgiver, My Name is Nobody, The Five Man Army, The Red Tent, The Men From Shiloh and The Sicilian Clan.

Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars "his domain of film scoring is legendary ~ Ennio Morricone".......2004-10-07

Silva America once again has outdone themselves with "Once Upon A Time:The Essential Ennio Morricone Film Music Collection", a double disc collection worth their weight in GOLD! ~ Morricone creates visual moods for each film he scores...action, adventure, mystery, romance, sentimental and suspense...the list could go on.

Ennio Morricone was born in Rome on October 11, 1928...attended the Santa Cecilia Conservatory...worked in various jazz bands, later a staff arranger and composer...an orchestrator in the '50s...scored films in the early '60s, then the WESTERNS and his name became a household word in the film industry ~ a new kind of western was on the horizon and Morricone was commissioned to score "A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS" [1964] for Sergio Leone featuring Clint Eastwood, spaghetti westerns were born ~ next "FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE" [1965] ~ and a bigger budget film "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY" [1966], again featuring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and a third Eli Wallach whose performance was magical to watch on the big screen ~ violence and revenge gives Morricone an opportunity to feature electric guitars, flutes and jew's harp blending with a non lyrical chorus mixed with brass, strings, percussion with full orchestration that simply took your breath away...example is "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST" [1968], featuring Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards and our hero Charles Bronson the mysterious harmonica player, director Sergio Leone's tribute to the American Western, pulled out all the stops ~ the Western was just a small part of Maestro Morricone's career, in the next paragraph take a gander of just what our icon of film music accomplished.

Our composer didn't stop there as "ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA" [1984], featuring Robert De Niro, James Woods and Elizabeth McGovern, another Sergio Leone film..."THE MISSION" [1986], featuring Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and Aldan Quinn, is probably one of Morricone's crowning scores receiving an Academy Award nomination, very haunting and classical genre in substance..."THE UNTOUCHABLES" [1987], featuring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert De Niro during the Al Capone '30s crime organization, Morricone conjures a powerful and dynamic arrangement of his unmistakable theme..."CINEMA PARADISO" [1988], featuring Phillippe Noiret, Antonella Attili and Pupella Maggio from director Giuseppe Tomatore as he recalls his early childhood, the score immediately captures your heart, so tender and compelling as Morricone can only deliver.

City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra featuring conductors Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine, Derek Wadsworth ~ Crouch End Festival Chorus featuring Choir Master David Temple ~ vocals performed by Charlotte Kinder, Marie Kopecka and Jill Washington ~ guitar, percussion and keyboards performed by Gareth Williams ~ all in all did a magnicent job in bringing the music of a composer who wrote for over 250 films, receiving recognition from the industry and fans which was long over-due ~ his work is in constant demand, scoring as many as over a half dozen films as year.

This collection contains an overlay of each cue in Morricone's distinctive style of legendary scoring ~ the man who made this possible, a tremendous asset to every project he undertakes is James Fitzpatrick [producer of the album] ~ symphonic suites with full orchestra fullfilling the "film-score-buffs" cravings for more of the same, just the way we like 'em!

5 out of 5 stars He is .....speechless.......2007-02-15

You can not go wrong with ANY of his Album. I am now collecting ALL of them since my first CD which was a surprise gift to me, I just fall in love. I do Yoga everyday, and fitness work out everyday. I love listening to his CDs whenever to focus my vision, emotion, and relaxes my body. I also like to cook a nice meal while playing his CDs. I wish he was not married! ha ha.

5 out of 5 stars The DualDisc.......2005-10-20

Enough others have talked about the music presented on this disc. It's good - very good - and a testament to the musicians presenting it. Plenty more reviews available for the standard version. This review is of the DualDisc.

Dualdiscs are a relatively new piece of technology - a CD on one side, DVD on the other, and offer a number of advantages, as well as a few problems. The CD side does not conform to the "redbook" CD standard, and as such cannot be played on all CD players (this is a side effect of the thickness of the DualDisc). I've seen estimates ranging from 2% to 30% incompatibility, so be aware of this. The CD side seems to be especially problematic in computer DVD drives, so if you're purchasing a DualDisc and intending to rip the material to mp3, try to borrow a disc first to check that it will work correctly. Also, the extra thickness and double sided nature of the discs means you shouldn't use them in slot loading CD players like most car stereos or multi-disc juke boxes. All that said, I haven't had problems playing the CD side of any of my DualDiscs.
The DVD side is the same standard as normal DVDs, and can be played on any DVD player or drive. This offers slightly higher quality stereo playback (although I defy anyone to hear the difference) and often Dolby 5.1 playback, as well as an opportunity for extras.

On this DualDisc, the music is presented with a number of student films which are hardly worth the time to view, and a film of Yo-Yo Ma and Ennio Morricone talking about each other - the sort of gushing that would perhaps better be kept in private. If you do not have and do not expect ever to own a system capable of 5.1 playback, I would not recommend purchasing this DualDisc. But if you have 5.1 playback, it is a revalation. The difference between stereo and 5.1 is like night and day. The sound become more open, immersive, and defined. The rear channels are not overused - most of the time you'll be hard pressed to hear them at all - but take them away and you notice their absense. Sparingly, they are used to provide an aural backdrop such as the use of choir, and each time the effect is stunning. It's hard to put a finger on precisely why the 5.1 mix sounds so much better, but it more alive, involving, and emotive, and very, very worth the premium required to buy the DualDisc version of this album.

DualDiscs are, for the most part, a waste of time if they only contain stereo tracks or if you can't play back in 5.1. If you have a home theater, then buy this disc and enjoy a masterful soundscape and experience.

5 out of 5 stars Essential Collection of Ennio Morricone Music Performed by Yo-Yo Ma.......2005-10-06

When Ennio Morricone & Yo-Yo Ma met at the Oscars in 2001 (Morricone nominated for Malena; Ma performing on the Oscar winning score to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) they both shared great interest in teaming up together. Three years later this album came to fruition. A stunning compilation of Morricone's music, newly orchestrated for Ma's cello.

The music is, as always exceptional from Morricone, ranging from the rich and spiritual 'The Mission', to the idiosyncratic genius of 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly'. Morricone has in places significantly altered the music to accommodate the cello. Yo-Yo Ma's supreme command over his instrument combines with an excellent performance of the Roma Sinfonietta under Morricone's baton.

The album starts with a brief suite from 'The Mission'. In Gabriel's Oboe (surely one of the most beautiful pieces of music written), Ma weaves his cello throughout the piece in spectacular fashion. The cello starts playing the melody, giving way to the oboe, and then plays in countermelody - breathtaking stuff.

The suite for the films of Giuseppe Tornatore starts off with the exquisite, 'Playing Love' from 'The Legend Of 1900'. Morricone's regular pianist, Gilda Butta, plays splendidly throughout the beautiful track. Other highlights include the nostalgic 'Cinema Paradiso' (one of Morricone's best), and the gorgeous theme from 'Malena'.

Many people became familiar with Morricone through his music from Sergio Leone's legendary films. Morricone had an unprecedented freedom to write the music for those films, often writing the themes before the film had even been shot. The haunting music from 'Once Upon A Time In America' is almost overwhelming in sheer emotion. Yo-Yo Ma's performance of 'Cockeye's Song' is outstanding. The main theme from 'Once Upon A Time In The West is played without the usual solo soprano part, instead replaced by the cello. The most unusual choice of music included on the album is 'The Ecstasy Of Gold' from 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly'. I was unsure how Morricone could make it work for the cello but he certainly does. This piece of music is drastically altered from its original form but Morricone keeps the spirit of the piece intact. It is a breathtaking track, surely one of, if not Morricone's best.

Next up is a short suite of music from the films of Brian DePalma. The main theme from 'Casualties Of War' is played without the choir. The 'Death Theme' form 'The Untouchables' features a sad and touching piece of music played beautifully by Ma, his cello replacing the sax in the original piece.

The album is rounded off with two suites of music that may be obscure to some listeners, but are equal in quality to the rest of the music that has come before hand. 'Moses' and 'Marco Polo' are featured first. 'Marco Polo' contains one of Morricone's best themes, magnificent; highly memorable. The album ends with two beautiful tracks from 'The Lady Caliph'.

The album is beautifully presented with many pictures and quotes of the composer and performer. This version of this excellent compilation features a Dual Disc. One side of the disc contains the album playable on most Audio CD players. On the other side the album is a DVD. The complete album is presented in a 5.1 Dolby Digital surround mix. It sounds outstanding, providing a far better listen for those with the capability. The DVD includes exclusive footage of the two legendary musicians talking together and recording the music. This disc also features four short films set to the music.

This is really an exceptional compilation of great music. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It comes as an excellent introduction to the music of both musicians and is also a satisfying listen to their fans.

5 out of 5 stars Farscape - Peacekeeper Wars Soundtrack Review.......2007-02-25

At first I was a little reluctant to buy the CD. I only wanted it for tracks 1 and 4, for the Ambush and Moya Attacked. But the whole CD sounds very good and I am glad I bought it. It always ends sooner then you would like. It will remain in my CD changer for quite awhile.

Thanks for reading, hope it helped.

5 out of 5 stars Leoone 1956.......2006-07-14

Farscape is the most up to date science fiction television show out there. It was the next generation of sci-fi, so sharpe, so crisp that you have to beleive there is another life out there. This show had all the right formula to being the best. Its a shame they were cancelled too soon, the adventure should have continued. I highly reccommend you see this complete series from beginning to end.

5 out of 5 stars A fitting finale to an excellent series!.......2004-10-24

According to the liner notes, composer Guy Gross asked for a full orchestra AND a choir for this score. Thank God he had the temerity to ask ... and thank God that David Kemper (Exec. Producer) and Andrew Prowse (Producer) gave him the green light! The miniseries "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" was a true rollercoaster ride, an entire season compressed into four all-too-short hours, and only a full orchestra could provide the requisite weight and grandeur such a culmination required.

The results are wonderful. The score is rich, powerful, glorious and quite entertaining. The Sydney Symphony and Cantillation turn in a worthy, passionate performance. The liner notes are well produced, with nice images and appropriate quotes. The CD listens well on its own, but also quite frankly makes me hunger for the DVD of the miniseries ASAP.

Various tracks provide various and shifting moods, moving from the ethereal "The Eidelons" quickly into the exciting "Moya Attacked" or from the sweepingly romantic "Chiana & D'Argo" right into "The Killing of Yondalao". "We Have A Son" is simply glorious. The score then takes on a frightening momentum with Track #16, "We All Die", that carries one relentlessly though to the conclusion. The restatement of the opening bars of the score later in Track #17, "Behold", sends shivers up my spine. And the haunting Track #19, "The Aftermath", is a searching and deeply satisfying prelude to the powerful and moving finale, "This Is Your Playground". ("The Aftermath" also features a snippet of atonal choral howling seemingly straight out of the end of "2001: A Space Odyssey" -- very clever, given the context in the film!)

"Farscape" was easily one of the best, and certainly the most original and compelling, science fiction series ever shown on television; other genre shows still airing are weak, pale and hopelessly shallow in comparison. It remains a pity and a travesty that "Farscape" was treated so shabbily and cancelled so unceremoniously; it much, much deserved better. "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" is a triumphant achievement, yet sadly only a dim echo of what might have been. But I remain glad that this finale was augmented with such depth and resonance by Guy Gross's tremendous score. I will be listening to this CD with pleasure and great thanks for some time to come.

5 out of 5 stars Most Beautiful Finale.......2004-10-21

To all of the similar FarScape fans, this is the greatest ending to a beauitful series. I hope you also enjoy the SciFi series finale "The PeaceKeeper" wars. It was great to watch and listen from the birth to death of the show. A Legacy that cant be matched up. Again, only true farscape fans can understand the symbiotic relationship between the soundtrack and lives the actors and actresses play on FarScape. A+++

      The 6'4" Long Beach native delivers a 6 song, 24 minute long-awaited EP debut released by his own L.A. Confidential. Although I'd have liked to see it have more songs the ones that are on here a good but it does feature a lot of people but you can still see the Knoc's writing/rapping/and singing talent on the album. Prodction is good, Dr. Dre does 2 songs, Kanye West, Fred Wreck, Budda, and LA Confidential all do 1 song. I'd definatly recommend buying a copy and it should be rather cheap since it doesn't have much material.

      #1 - 8.5 (f/ Missy & dr. Dre)
      #2 - 9.5 (song about what music means to him)
      #3 - 9.5 (f/ Warren G, Nate Dogg, Shade Sheist, & Xzibit)

      Knoc-Turn'al is the newest big thing from the wast he is helping it gain it's once formadibal position atop the rap game back. Dr. Dre prodege but doesn't need dre to make him carry an album. He kept it short & tight and got a couple pf hot singles and nice tunes oout of it. I'll just mention the high lights

      Knoc ft/Missy & Dr.Dre - Nice beat by Dr.Dre this was to be Knoc's single from his full album that got pushed back but alright. Missy does a nice hook but Dre really doesn't do much but drop a pretty short line or two. Knoc uses thsi song to really just showcase him self with a nice hit.

      Str8 West Coast (Remix) ft/ Warren G, Nate Dogg, Shade Sheist & Xzibit - Great west coast anthem. This was originally on The Wash soundtrack in it's original version teh same good west coast beat is employed but the added guests spice things up a bit. My only disappointment is that Warren doesn't drop a new verse and i've been waiting awhile to hear something from him again.

      Muzik - The second single has a nice powerful guitar riff beat. It was also used on a soundtrack. Knoc comes up with another catchy totally Knoc-Turn'al that sort of sets him apart.

      Let's All Roll - ft/ Time Bomb, Jayo Felony, Butch Cassidy, & Slip Capone - This one is a nice rolling posse cut. Jayo & Time Bomb are my personal fav's on this song but slip & knoc both drop tight rhymes. What makes this track really nice is Butch on the hook, he is another on that will help bring the west back and he is already gaining some exposure.

      L.A. Night & Day - This is a very trippy laid back smoked out track. Knoc does a pretty damn catchy verse and to make things even more impressive he is the one who produced the great beat. Real nice to ride out with on a saturday night or to chill, sit back & schmoke a phatty to.

      all in all a nice sample of what Knoc has to offer and good signs comming from teh left coast once again.

      5 out of 5 stars The West Coast Is Highly Slept On.......2002-09-29

      I wasn't gonna buy this album because it was an EP. I saw he had the tight song wit missy and a lot of West Coast artist appearances, so I picked it up. Muzik is somethin' different. The song is produced by one of my favoirtes, Kanye West. "Str8 West Coast (Remix) is off the chain and so is "Let's All Roll." Knoc's got tight flow. It's different from everyone eles. You don't know if he's singing or rappin'. Can't wait for the full length album.
