If Springsteen's debut, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. revealed just how ambitious a talent he was, it also fell just short of realizing those ambitions. No such problem with this, his second album. The Dylanesque wordplay is there, but with more narrative detail, as on "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)," "Kitty's Back," and "Rosalita," each of which became instant Springsteen classics and were demanded by his concert crowds for years. But even on this record, the music isn't allowed to take a back seat to the words--the latter two, at least, are full-tilt rock & roll numbers, with abrupt tempo shifts, soaring instrumental parts, and production that's just chaotic enough to make you wonder if the whole thing is going to blow apart and then smile in appreciation when it doesn't. The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle was the first time Springsteen scaled the heights of rock & roll greatness--but it wouldn't be the last. --Daniel Durchholz

bruce for the ages.......2007-07-20

I don't know if music can change the world but it can change your life. You have to "buy in" however. I bought in on Bruce Springsteen a long tiime ago and he's never let me down. This collection of songs is astounding in their scope and intimacy. From Spanish Johnny, past Kitty,to Billy. From the circus to the streets. An amazing record that stands the test of time and any other measure. I still listen to "Sandy" every 4th of July and I want to say to my old friend Dalton O'Connor, "wherever you are, come out tonight."

Summer 0f 73.......2007-07-14

This is a wonderful album, lots of energy, great songs and performances, before Bruce became famous. I wish this album, as well as Springsteen's entire back catlog, would get a sonic upgrade for CD. Long overdue.

The most interesting of all Springsteen recordings- thanks to "Mad Dog"!.......2007-06-16

Springsteen's second album is a collective of many styles that eventually coalesces into a completely unique musical form. No band has sounded the same as Bruce and co. back in '73. Now, we've all heard the accusation (thanks Dave Marsh!) about how this recording, as well as the first, was supposedly damaged by the "hamfisted" drumming of Vini Lopez. This needs to be addressed. I've been a drummer for 23 years and I can tell every drummer out there to TRY, just TRY to duplicate the energetic twists and turns of Lopez's drumming on this recording (particularly "Kitty's Back" and "Rosalita")!! The dynamism of his playing compliments the variation and shifting nature of the music perfectly.
For me, it's exactly the explosive energy of Lopez that gives this, as well as the first album, a manic intensity that was lost when Bruce decided to oust Lopez for whatever reasons that remain cloudy to this day. Don't listen to the naysayers who haven't a clue how play drums in the first place, just listen to this recording and enjoy excellent songs, great production and most of all BRILLIANT drumming from "Mad Dog" Lopez!

Early Boss Still Ranks with the Best.......2007-02-18

Before Bruce Springsteen crashed onto the national scene (cover of Time and Newsweek in the same week), he had played with local bands for several years in his native New Jersey and had released two albums, "Greetings from Asbury Park" in 1972 and this album one year later. We wore the grooves off both at the University of Delaware from 1972-1976. More than 30 years later, "The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle" remains one of my all-time favorite albums.

"E Street" is an infectious blend of rock, blues, and jazz, in fact more jazz than would appear on the rest of his albums put together, as producer Jon Landau, who took over with "Born to Run", and Bruce himself would adopt a tighter, more structured style.

For me, "E Street" contains three great songs--the plaintive "Sandy" ("Sandy, that waitress I've been seeing lost her desire for me"), the evocative, Romeo and Juliet-tinged "Incident on 57th Street" (always "Spanish Johnny" to me--"good night, it's all right Jane"), and the anthemic "Rosalita" ("my machine she's a dud, I'm stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey"), the song I'd ask to hear if I could hear just one more rock song before I go. The piano segue between these last two is a musical thing of beauty.

"Wild Billy's Circus Story" (with the unexpected appearance of a tuba) and "Listen to Your Junkman" (which I'm sure goes by another title, but that's how I remember it, having listened many more times than I've read the liner notes) are also outstanding, but grow on the listener moreso than blowing his or her doors off the first time. The "title" track "E Street Shuffle" introduces the show in a rush.

Springsteen fans who discovered him in the mid-80s with "Born in the USA" should definitely treat themselves to this early masterpiece.

great album, absorbing stories.......2007-01-21

This is my favorite Springsteen album and one of my top 10 faves of all time. The songs that rock are unmatched and the slow tunes evoke incredible emotion. Rosalita has closed a majority of Springsteen's concerts over the years for good reason. Kitty's Back and Rosalita were written for the purpose of leaving the audience and the band totally exausted. The title track sways and bops. Others move you and sink you deep into the lives of characters that existed in Springsteen's imagination. I understand how many view Born to Run as one of the best albums of all time. These two should be viewed as discs one and two of a double album that celebrates the Jersey shore and stand apart as unique rock n roll. On this album, Springsteen is not doing his best to be successful, but pouring his heart out to rock the world. Buy this album and you will come back to it over and over for many years.

Amazon.com

This grandly conceived two-disc collection of Hollywood and television Western themes showcases the City of Prague Philharmonic's indefatigable passion for rehashing great works from composers like Max Steiner, Dimitri Tiomkin, and John Williams. But listeners less prone to swoon over highbrow symphonic grandeur may respond with a yawn. Yes, the collection is a wonderful reference source, with a sweeping chronology from John Ford's Stagecoach to Lawrence Kasdan's Wyatt Earp. And the pieces are competently executed, with John Barry's contribution among the highlights. But the concert-hall acoustics--with little to no studio artifice--have a dulling effect. Those with access to the Dolby Surround may detect a rewarding nuance or two, but for others with fewer audiophile idiosyncrasies, the mood may be stuffy and uninspired. --Joseph Lanza

Wonderful Western music themes.......2007-05-15

This is the best collection of Western Movie themes I've heard. All the great ones are here including the incomparable Ennio Moriconne's. There is one defect of manufacture on the second DVD which has still not been corrected. (I have 2 copies due to borrowing by offspring.)

Best Classic Western Music.......2007-01-09

Not only does this CD bring back memories of favorite western movies, it's also just good music. I listen to them at work along with it's companion "Way Out West", at home while I'm working, and in my car. They go with me everywhere. This was definitly one of my better purchases.

Great Western Themes.......2006-03-28

The orchestra generally gives a fine treatment to the themes they perform but I do not agree with their selection. Soundtrack themes from Glory, Gettysburg and The Last of the Mohicans are not, to me, true westerns. Yet they miss Blazing Saddles and "Do Not Foresake Me" from High Noon.

Wandering Around the West.......2005-11-02

I bought this CD for a family trip to Montana hoping for some good background music as we drove through mountains & Indian reservations. My whole family loved it. It is very evocative of a different era. Now that we're home I still listen to it. There is a great selection and the arrangements are well done.

Performance and sound Quality.......2005-06-16

I disagree With anyone who says the sound quality is not good on The Wild West. I have a high end all tube system and this cd is one of my test cd's when someone wants to here my system. It is one of the best produced cd's I've ever heard and the performances are masterful too. We listened to this cd on my dealer's $60,000 solid state system and it blew him away. Now he uses it as a test cd too. Also try Way Out West. It is just as good.

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.

Customer Reviews:

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).

Jersey boy, sometime actor, longtime rapper Redman ends to a five-year album hiatus with Red Gone Wild. "Thee Album," as its subtitle suggests, slings all the comeback bravado it can. From the opening bump of "Fire," Redman rolls out his own red carpet, strutting the whole way. "Rite Now" swipes and recalls the thumping throwback funk Redman first exploited well with 1994's Muddy Waters, and "Freestyle Freestyle" adds a heavy shuffle to that. Throughout, Redman and a bevy of guests saunter through backing tracks built around Marvin Gaye, Millie Jackson, Curtis Mayfield, Rick James, and Bob Marley (the viscerally stupid and strangely arresting "Blow Treez"). In one of the album's wilder moments, "Sumtn 4 Urrbody," rappers Blam, Runt Dog, Ready Roc, Icadon, and Saukrates drop in to party for a verse each: suddenly, the line "Hair on my chest look like taco meat" never sounded so good. Lines that doggone dirty have stapled seams through the beats of every Redman record since 1994's Dare Iz A Darkside, at least. But Seattle producer Vitaman D cooks up the album's wildest cut, namely the abysmally thick pulse gunning beneath the ironic silliness of "Pimp Nutz." To his continuing credit, Redman's got no problem bringing more talented collaborators into the studio and letting them loose. After all, he himself was long ago gone wild. --Jason Kirk

(4.5 stars) Redman's Bak Inda Buildin!.......2007-06-26

It's been years since we had the pleasure of hearing a solo Redman joint...especially one that's worth listening to! The last good album was 1998's Doc's Da Name, although the dismal album Malpractice was released in 2000. But just listening to the intro track "Fire," it becomes clear that Red Gone Wild is the real deal. The album has the feel of a mixtape, but without the yelling deejays or the redundancy of tracks that serve no purpose. Even though "Bak Inda Buildin" clocks in under 3 minutes (just like "How U Like Dat" later in the album), it still delivers the energy we've been accustom to hearing from Redman and segues into the equally hyper "Put It Down" and "Gimmie One." "Sumtn 4 Urrbody" features virtual unknowns named Blam, Runt Dog, Ready Roc, Icadon, and Saukrates showcasing their best licks and it's amazing that the track still stands at less than 4 minutes. The Scott Storch produced "Freestyle Freestyle" is an enjoyable track with the feel of a true freestyle with its uncomplicated background and lyrical veracity. Veteran Def Squad members Erick Sermon and Keith Murray regroup for the convincing posse cut "Walk In Gutta" while R&B newcomer Melanie Rutherford [...] gives an impassioned hook for the indelible melody of "Wutchoogonnado." "Blow Treez" is a well-performed collabo that features partner-in-rhyme Method Man and Ready Roc. "Merry Jane" is a fun, entertaining tune that pairs Red with Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg. "Dis Is Brick City" and "Rite Now" both showcase classic Redman while "Hold Dis Blaow" rocks an infectious beat that makes it one of many standouts on the album. He closes with the recurring "Superman Lova" featuring Hurricane G and Melanie Rutherford (it's presented as two connected tracks with the same title) and the tenacious "Suicide" that's embodies all the intensity that Redman has been known to display from time to time. Red Gone Wild personifies a rapper whose talent far exceeds most others in the industry today. Redman's future as a rapper is proven with Red Gone Wild, and he'll never have to worry about losing his appeal if he keeps putting out albums like this.

YEAH!.......2007-06-20

this album is SOLID from beginning to end, best Redman album since Muddy Waters.

Please enter a title for your review.......2007-05-30

I don't listen to rap music but I can't stop listening to this album. It's got like msg or crack or something in it to make you keep wanting more, listening to it over and over. From the beats through the vocal layering and party atmosphere to the incessantly repetitive lines on choruses prettymuch every song on it is better than any rap single released in the last couple years.

GILLA HOUSE!!! .......2007-05-30

After making everybody wait quite a while, Redman is finally back and drops another solid album with "Red Gone Wild." Keeping it funky but not quite as grimy as his past releases, "Red Gone Wild" showcases Red's infantry of friends almost as much as Red himself. Most of the guest artists serve their purpose, however, and everything blends together rather seamlessly. Over and over again, Red and his crew chant "Gilla House!" over a plethora of prototypical Def Squad beats. When Red is at his best is when he spits the grime we've come to love from him, as on the intro track "Fire" which is one of the album's highlights.
Although "Red Gone Wild" suffers from the usual amount of filler most Redman albums have, it still holds its own as a solid "comeback" release from one of hip-hop's most consistent veterans.

Music we all need to hear once in a while........2007-01-04

This album is well put together and I enjoy the old standards. Music is an integral part of our heritage. Often when I listen to this album, I think about what our country has been through and how very, very important it is to appreciate what we have. I spent 3 years living in France in the 60's and I cannot tell you how much all Americans looked forward to going "Home!"

Enjoy!!

A very good CD.......2005-06-16

If you like a mix of songs and marches very well played, this CD is for you. The voices of the singers are good, the music support the lyrics and it is easy to listen or to sing along. Also, nearby half of the tunes are played by the Band of the Grenadier Guards and for me, this Band is the best band to play Sousa marches and military marches. The precision of the execution is perfect, the sound is lovely and the technical quality of the recording is perfect. When I listen Anchors Aweigh, I always hear the sound of the waves and it is one of the only bands that gives me this feeling. If you have just one CD of military music to buy, you may buy this one; it is a best buy.

Revision of history.......2005-03-27

As usual, "Dixie," "The Bonnie Blue Flag," and other songs of a Southern genre are conspicuously absent. Why not throw in a couple of rap tunes to make this album truly "American?"

Lovely CD--shameful misspelling on the song titles.......2002-11-22

I do not own this CD--though it appears it would be a wonderful album to listen to. I was compelled to write my review because of the misspelling of our national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner (as opposed to "The Star Bangled Banner" as it appears not once but twice on the song list). I do hope this error is corrected.

Five Stars for Fred Bear Alone.......2005-02-12

This album is great. Ted's guitar and vocals are very very good. The album isn't as good as Cat Scratch Fever, but it's worth the 10 bucks just for Fred Bear. All the people who said this album was bad and the lyrics & guitar were laughable don't know what music is. They couldn't play a guitar if they tried (no-talent morons), otherwise they'd realize that Ted was one of the revolutionary guitarists of the 70's. Just listen to his solos and you know he's the real deal. All of his songs are interesting and innovative. This album's totally worth it.

This Album is Just Not Good at All.......2005-02-07

The song lyrics are laughable, the vocals are sorry, and the guitar is even below Ted's previous capabilities. All in all a pretty pathetic effort from Ted the Sledge.

WOW!.......2004-12-07

don't get me started.....it STINKS. don't get me wrong, i love a little wang dang sweet doe tang as much as any guy, but this has to to be one of the top three or four worst albums ever produced (and i own tubthumping by chumbawumba). fred bear in particular was such a poor and pathetic tribute to the legend that had it been written 15 or 20 years ago....it still would have stunk. this guy has no guitar chops and has the most asinine lyrics i've ever heard. pure garbage...use this one as a coaster.

Though a small handful of its 13 songs predate Los Angeles, X's second album represents a giant leap forward for the band. Wild Gift stands as one of the 1980s' most fully realized rock & roll LPs. John Doe and Exene Cervenka bring altogether more personal and biting lyrics to the mic, making for riveting, curiosity-promoting performances. ("If I wrote a song like 'White Girl,'" Doe tells critic Kristine McKenna in this remaster's liner notes, "there was an unspoken pact that this may happen, but I love you more.") From the metallic riff of "It's Who You Know" to the surf-wise lines of "In This House That I Call Home," guitarist Billy Zoom is given freer rein, while drummer D.J. Bonebrake fuses the Ramones and Beefheart to enduring effect on "We're Desperate" (improved from an early single version by a slight lyric change). And "Back 2 the Base" and "Year 1" stand out as two of the most complex statements about punk's icon-smashing impulses ever. The 45-rpm take of "We're Desperate" is included here, along with six other bonus tracks. Shut up and smoke. --Rickey Wright

Brought back memories of my teen angst.......2007-01-11

Listening to this CD again after ten years was complete and blissful nostalgia. I went back to 15 years old...the oddball kid in 9th grade who put a little X in eyeliner on her temple and shoulder. There are a lot of great tracks and from 15 to 35 I still absolutely love this band. True survivor's of the eventual overflow of punk bands from L.A...their music still endures in a way that no other band from that era could compare to. Exene Cervinka was a true poet of her generation and although she lacked in vocal qualities...she more than makes up for it with her passion and her lyrics. I consider her the angry & confused feminine mind in an almost completely male oriented genre. John Doe's vocals are unsurpassed and the band as a whole without sounding too polished were definately the definative punk band of the time with actual musical capabilities along with the frustration and angst about a myriad of topics including being young and married which I don't think was a particularly normal subject in the punk idealism but it fits well with this band and they were doing what was meant to be done...telling the truth, no matter how ugly or unattractive it sounded to the general public. I let my 11 year old listen to the age appropriate tracks on this CD and he even found it inspiring. Soul Kitchen was his favorite track and and he was utterly fascinated that it was a remake from a 1960's band called The Doors. The Doors, who? My son is a musician; he plays trumpet, drums and is a beginning to learn electric guitar inspired completely to take on this instrument by Kurt Cobain. He plays Jazz but I have been digging through my head to find many different forms of music for him to appreciate. His latest fascination is with early albums by The Police...which I also highly recommend.

And to Think John Doe became an actor........2006-05-08

Emerging out of the early 80's punk scene X was much more talented then their punk brethren. Poet Exene Cervenka and John Doe's slightly off key harmonies somehow add the missing ingredient into the mixture of pop punk and pure rock and roll. Similarities to Beefheart and the Ramones cannot go unnoticed, but with lyrics like "I'll replace your drunk old man" (White Girl) it's suffice to say they have lyrically matured from the first album. "When Our Love Passed Out On The Couch" exemplifies what everyone has felt when a relationship goes sour. Get out your Docs and skank around the couch as the neighbors downstairs call the cops.

Definitely no Second Album Slump.......2005-11-22

One of the biggest impressions I got from this album on first hearing is that it's much sadder than their debut. One quick comparison of the dangerhouse/rough mix of Adult Books on LA and the album release on Wild Gift will bear this out. However, John Doe's bouncy bass lines (In This House That I Call Home) nicely balance out some of the more down songs. and Exene and John's harmonies are too die for. is there any band better than X at mixing rockabilly, punk and country? I don't think so.

Biting.......2005-02-21

This a a solid and biting collection of some of the Best punk ever recorded! Arguably the best of the genre and rock that stands the test of time!

That Wild Los Angeles Sound .......2004-12-10

If the chaotic howl of LOS ANGELES was up your alley then you're sure to get some more kicks from WILD GIFT. Again, the legendary L.A. punks plod along like wild stallions with their patented formula of dissonant harmony, hit and run rockabilly guitar-slinging, and a rockbed of unbridled rhythm. The approach remains much the same with the exception of a few new tricks such as the cha-cha-ish "Adult Books," which remains an X classic. Other standouts include the riotous "We're Desperate," the sexy chug of "Universal Corner," and the lightning strike that is "Beyond and Back." This re-packaged edition comes complete with some incendiary live performances and some exciting, though decidedly rough, demo takes. A notable bonus is the album booklet with an insightful essay, track analysis, and nifty photos. While WILD GIFT does not have quite the impact of the seminal LOS ANGELES, it still delivers a ferocious punch and proves to be equally unbridled and nearly as essential.

Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01

I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!

Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03

This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?

Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11

Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.

Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).

Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".

It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.

But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.

Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22

It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!

Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31

Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.

However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.

However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.

Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

The Irish Tenors' fourth album sees the trio of Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, and Finbar Wright paying a sentimental musical tribute to Ellis Island, the hallowed landmark that met the majority of immigrants entering the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. Needless to say, the Tenors' repertoire this time around is full of reflective ballads of love, loss, and homesickness, including the original "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" that opens this disc. Throughout this studio recording, the Irish Tenors are in fine form and backed by a soft-hued orchestra that never interferes with their soaring vocals. Traditional tunes include "My Wild Irish Rose," "How Are Things in Glocca Mora," and, of course, "Danny Boy" (the last sung by all three tenors, with refreshingly simple solo piano accompaniment). Thankfully, the threesome didn't forget that the immigrants had fun, too, as evidenced by some lighthearted fare; "The Courtin' Medley" features the Tenors at their most upbeat and comical. Ellis Island is a moving aural portrait of the struggles and triumphs of the Irish émigrés and a must-have for fans of the threesome. Newcomers may enjoy the Tenors' debut disc even more, as the earlier live album is a slightly more upbeat and spirited affair. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

Three Cheers for the Irish!!!.......2007-05-30

A glorious concert in a historic setting, with all involved in top notch form. Finbar finds a great old Johnny Cash number, Ronan sings a Glocka
Mora to end all, and Anthony Kearns sings murderously difficult versions
of Macushla and The Croppy Boy like an angel. And their Courtin' and Irish
Medleys, and their "Nation Once Again" trios are simply glorious glees.

With the benefit of a grand theme, this is perhaps the best, and best balanced, of all their programs.

Ellis Island song brings tears to my eyes.......2006-03-17

This magical album crosses oceans and centuries and puts me in touch with my Irish ancestry. The title song tells a story similar to my greatgrandmother's and even though I've heard it many times now, I still weep for her.

How Are Things In Glocca Morra?.......2004-04-16

Long a fan of Irish music, I have turned to a series of artists to satiate my appetite. Bing Crosby and John McCormick have been succeeded by the Irish Tenors.

This CD has a bit more of an Irish American theme as "Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears" and "God Bless America" illustrate. Interspersed among these tunes are traditional Irish tunes such as "Macushla" and "Croppy Boy", along with newer songs, such as "The Green Fields Of France" and "How are Things In Glocca Morra?"

The singing is excellent, the words understandable. I appreciate the inclusion the lyrics of the songs contained on the insert of the cover. These are songs you will want to learn, whose stories you will want to research. I have. Listen again and again!

I think this is best CD since Live in Belfast! it also has 2 songs not included on the video! it's a unique album of how the immigration to Ellis Island and New York turned out. It also has songs of the war such as The Green Fields Of France (The Best One) or, the croppy boy. I would recommend this to anyone!
