Album Description

*A specially priced 2CD set with over 110 minutes of some of the greatest film music in the history of cinema.

*New digital recordings in spectacular and sound performed by the acclaimed City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and National Youth Jazz Band.

*Includes world premiere recordings from "The Birdman Of Alcatraz," "Thoroughly Modern Millie," "Airplane!" and "An American Werewolf In London."

*In 2004 the world of cinema lost one of the most iconic figures in film composing. In a career that spanned half-a-century and over 250 films, Elmer Bernstein was responsible for writing the music to many of the greatest and most loved movies of all time ranging from "The Ten Commandments," "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Great Escape," through to "True Grit" and "Airplane!" This collection has been lovingly created and compiled as a tribute to a genius and true master of the art of film scoring.

Sad, Really Sad.......2007-05-13

These CDs don't meet the standards that I expect from Elmer Bernstein's wonderful film music.
*It's just Boring*
The ensemble doesn't have the energy one would expect to play "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Man with the Golden Arm". I think the City of Prague and National Youth Jazz Orchestras were bargain orchestras used to make an inexpensive CD set of one of my favorite film composers. The conducting and arrangements were what made this an obviously bad album.

An excellent movie themes antology by ELMER BERNSTEIN.......2007-05-10

Silva Screen Records, presents this antology of the music from the late great composer/conductor ELMER BERNSTEIN, who supervised this recording just before die.
Played the The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and conducted by his one time assistant James Fitzpatrick
Recorded in HDCD and Dolby Surround

Excellent.......2007-04-22

it's unfortunate that more tracks weren't able to be recorded as theree was a good 15-20 minutes of space remaining on both discs. Regardless, this is an excellent sampler, especially in conjunction with Varese's Bernstein sampler including rare stuff like the Black Cualdron.

With regards to this silva set, these recordings range back to 1994, with Sons of Katie Elder and True Grit being recorded for a John Wayne CD and Bridge At Remagen for a CD of classic War themes. The Great Escape was also recorded for that CD, but producer James Fitzpatrick opted to record a new arrangement (same with Magnificent Seven). In '97, The Buccaneer for included on a Swashbucklers disc, while Heavy Metal was on the popular 'Space and Beyond' compilation. In '98, the world premiere recording of Airplane first appeared on a DISASTERS film disc. So while it may technically be the world premiere RECORDING it certainly is not the world premiere CD RELEASE of that recording. Ghostbusters was included on Space 3: Beyond the Final Frontier, the second followup to the popular 'Space and Beyond'. Fast forward to 2002 and 4 recordings first appeared on WAY OUT WEST: ESSENTIAL WESTERN FILM MUSIC COLLECTION VOLUME TWO, those being The Comancheros, The Hallelujah Trail, The Scalphunters and The Shootist. Man With the Golden Arm and Walk on the Wild are from Silva's JAZZ IN FILM cd.

The remaining tracks were all newly recorded for this release. They are of course the strongest tracks, seeing as the City of Prague Philharmonic has improved over time. I do wonder though why they did not include the older arrangements of Great Escape and Mag. Seven as bonus tracks.

I also recommend the simultaneously released '40 years of Film Music: Jerry Goldsmith' for another great set honoring a late great film composer.

Great Film Music.......2007-03-09

This is a great recording of some of the best film music ever. From the
great westerns to the Theme from Airplane to music he did for television,
Bernstein was one of the greatest.

Fun, Powerfull music.......2007-02-17

It's great! It brings back memories of my dad. He loved John Wayne and the old cowboys of the Magnificent Seven. But it's nice just to listen and relax (it's not all cowboy music).

Simply a great album. Every track is good, and "Central Ave Romance", "Weight", and "Jesse's Mom" are excellent. The lyrics are solid and Nels' vocals complete the package, which is flawless. El Paso Eyepatch (the band) gives this album a full sound that you will be sure to enjoy. If you like Ryan Adams and John Mayor, then throw their albums away and buy this one... you won't regret it.

Great for a debut........2005-10-30

Yes, we all realize that Farmakon takes some of Opeth's style and uses it as their own. But there's absolutely no way you can call them a flat-out Opeth rip-off.

The fact is, what Opeth does wrong (which you could count on one hand), Farmakon does right. Their songs aren't incredibly long, so they are generally straight to the point. And they also seem to be on the more extreme sides of the spectrum than Opeth. The growling is much more sharp than Akerfeldt's, and the clean singing hits higher notes. The same goes for the other instruments, when it's hard, it's hard, and when it's soft it's really jazzy.

Overall, not a bad start. I'll be looking forward to their next release, especially to see how they evolve in their sound.

A great start for a talented band.......2004-10-13

I saw people compared this band to opeth. These guys are their own band and to say they are just like another band is riduculous. They have their own sound and the vocalist in particular has a great range. It's a good album, but buy it for Farmakon and don't go in expecting another bands sound. Enjoy!

Incredible Debut.......2004-06-21

Its hard to say what 2003 was the year of. Music saw the evolution of screamo and hardcore, with Ozzfest 2003 only furthering the trendiness of outfits such as Killswitch Engage and Atreyu, with more and more acts just like them on the way, spawning just as fast as hair metal did in the 80s. However, an original band named Farmakon came through with their Earache Records debut that went unnoticed by the masses, but resonates to the listener quickly that this band is going to be along for a long time.

I confess, i am an Opeth fan, so the immediate similarities made me quite pleased with my random pickup of this disc last December. I dont think i knew though that i was going to come to love this band and be excited for them the same way as i am toward my musical idols. Farmakon has not necessarily breeded a new style of melodic death/jazz influenced metal, they have moreso advanced its evolution towards the forefront of the musical world, with fans like me hoping one day many young and confused people may turn to the chilling and enchanting rhythms and the hellacious Opethian growls to find personal joy. Sure, i am a dreamer, but give not me, rather Farmakon, their moment in the sun.

Track 8 on this disc "Pearl of My Suffering" stands out as an instant gem, easily a canidate for best new song in the year 2003. This song bends the line between death and jazz in ways that can only be touched by the legendary Swedes.

I am eagerly awaiting for the followup to "A Warm Glimpse" to see what evolution Farmakon will offer the metal world. If the evolution is staged as Opeth's was, the next few albums will only continue to amaze fans of the genre.

Finally, to those who call this band "Opeth wannabes" this is merely showing the inspiration on progressive death metal music that Opeth has delivered. And so you dont seem so shocked, Farmakon's singer has a favorite album...Opeth's "Still Life."

Need i say more?

An Exceptional Debut.......2003-12-27

Ok so its quirky progressive melodic death metal with elements of jazz (in the vein of Ephel Duath, though a bit less experimental). And the vocals include black and death growls, clear vocals similar to Serj Tankian and some King Diamond. Top notch production and musicmanship, and amazingly fluid songwriting.
But what really makes them stand out is their quirkiness. I mean, there have been bands that have done what they are doing and better, but all of them deal with depressing or serious or abstract themes, which makes hearing songs like 'Loosely of Amoebas' and 'Wallgarden' a guilty pleasure.
All the songs are pretty solid but...
OK, I'll say it. This is a total ripoff of Opeth.
That said I enjoyed this better that Opeth's Deliverance, so maybe you'll like it too.
Fav. Songs - Loosely of Amoebas, Same, Pearl of My Suffering
