Customer Reviews:

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06

This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!

Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!

Total Time: 258:76 on 56 Tracks ~ SSD-1128 ~ (2001)

You might try other albums from Silva Screen, all worthy of a good listen ~ "The Essential James Bond" (SSD-1034)..."Bond:Back In Action" (SSD-1100)..."Bond:Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)..."Zulu" (SSD-1095)..."Raise The Titanic" (SSD-1102)..."Walkabout" (SSD-1120)...check out my reviews on amazon.com/music.

Album Description

On their third full-length album, genre bending duo Hungry Lucy prove to us, yet again, that the confines of one musical style just won't contain them. "To Kill a King" seamlessly traverses the musical spectrum from somber darkwave to catchy pop without missing a beat.

Fans of Hungry Lucy's first two releases, "Apparitions" and "Glo", will not be disappointed with this fresh batch of inspired electro-organic productions crowned with Christa Belle's haunting voice.

The title track, "To Kill a King" couples a driving Depeche Mode styled production with emotional female vocals. While "Rainfall" evokes the electrified songwriter feel of Dido or even Madonna in her more contemplative moments. The uplifting vibe of "Shine" pulls together elements from around the globe with a soaring vocal melody. The melancholy "Good Girl" is a stripped down piano & vocal wonder that tugs hard at your emotions, while the pure synthetic "High Price of Mistakes" manages to sound icy cold, yet emit a warm glow all at once.

It's this type of beautiful contrast that Hungry Lucy are passionate about, and fully demonstrate on "To Kill a King". Their talent for blending the familiar with the exotic captures you at first listen and leaves you wanting more.

Subtle gothic journey.......2006-06-13

This is the first CD by Hungry Lucy that I've listened to, and for me it was an acquired taste. On the first couple of listens I found it intriguing but not exactly compelling ... but for some reason I kept putting it back in my Discman ... and gradually and then suddenly I was loving it. The title tune is the one that sticks in your head most, but for me all the songs on this story cycle CD are memorable and unique. To me, this needs to be digested as a whole, as we follow the female protagonist in her journey from "killing" her king to forgiving him. We're traveling with this character on her internal trek. This is really not overtly "gothic" music, although it can generally be put in that category; it is sad and even somewhat mournful, and I kept envisioning medieval castles and landscapes as I listened. The title song is actually quite triumphant in tone and there are some enjoyable remixes which are actually dance-trance music. I've just gotten HL's "Apparitions" based on my love for "To Kill a King," which overall I've found to be a very nourishing, satisfying listen.

Color me surprised!.......2005-03-15

I bought this CD because I've been enjoying several of Hungry Lucy's free Amazon downloads for about a year now. The little guilt fairies were starting to poke me everytime I listened to them, so I figured it was time to purchase one of their CDs. I have to admit, when I received it and realized that the album comprised a story, I was a little skeptical -- I thought it sounded like a gimmicky concept. I popped in the CD and was very disappointed on my initial listen. It hadn't been what I'd expected -- then I listened to it again. Really listened to it. And the unexpected happened -- I found myself incredibly moved by this story of a woman escaping an abusive relationship. This album captures the feel of a dark fairy-tale, which I love. The emotions the Queen feels are not stereotypical, and the final outcome is not a fiery Hollywood cop-out. I found this to be a wonderfully sung story of betrayal and ultimate triumph through inner strength. My favorite tracks are Shine, To Kill a King, Rainfall and Good Girl but, really, the whole album is good.

I never stop respecting artists who push themselves and try something new with every release. The Hungry Lucy team set out to do this and, I feel, accomplishes their goal. I will definitely buy their next album, and I'm encouraging my friends to give this one a listen.

Disappointed. This is boring........2005-01-27

I have Hungry Lucy's first two CDs and I love them (except maybe the last couple on Apparitions which were just a bit to depressing and slow). They stayed in my car CD player for weeks when I first bought them. I was so looking forward to this new release. However, for the most part I just don't like it. It's boring. There're only perhaps a song or two that hold my attention. There isn't enough variety and some of the lyrics are a little silly. Hopefully in future releases the band will get back to songs like Alfred, Bed of Flames, In the Circle and several others on the first CDs that had a more upbeat tempo.

Inspired and beautiful.......2005-01-18

First, read Mistress of Shadows' review; she says it more eloquently than I could. Then buy this CD.

Darkwave electro-Goth at its finest!.......2004-12-22

A conceptual tale of a Queen summoning the courage from within herself to leave her unloving husband, 'To Kill A King' is Hungry Lucy's third release, and quite possibly their best endeavor yet. It's rare to come across a group that not only lives up to prior achievements but actually surpasses all expectations. Hungry Lucy just keep growing as musicians, outdoing themselves with each new album. I absolutely adore 'Apparitions' (it's destined to become an underground classic) and 'Glo', for me, was an amazing accomplishment but 'To Kill A King' is simply phenomenal and I haven't praised a record with as much fervor as this in a while. Christa Belle's vocals are sweetly enchanting, the beautiful yet melancholy lyrics contain the strongest songwriting I've heard from them thus far, and War-N-Harrison's ingenious musings are as haunting as ever. The melodies here are a lot tamer then they've been in the past but I was hardly disappointed by that. Quite the contrary, I feel their more subtle approach was a smart direction for them to take. They've proven they can do more than simply put some good beats together (and, believe me, they can!). There's still some synthy electronic stuff present, however, they've shifted gears a bit by incorporating more acoustic instruments this time around. There's even a piano solo on "A Lifetime Remains" and what sounds to me like a violin, though there's no mention of it within the credits, giving the Null Dull Mix of "You Are" a Middle Eastern flair. The song I especially love, though, is the emotional ballad, "My Beloved", including additional vocals by Alexx Reed from ThouShaltNot and Kristy Venrick from The Azoic. At first I was bummed to see there were only four remixes, unlike previous releases, but they are all so incredibly done, it was probably wise of them to merely choose the best of the best, making this a very solid album with absolutely no flaws.

To my ears this is PERFECTION. Hungry Lucy is one of the finer groups in the Gothic sub-genre today and I urge you to give them a chance if you're looking for something fresh and inventive for a change.

You won't be skipping tracks with this CD, I promise you that. Instead you'll be hitting replay, over and over again.

Varèse Sarabande à son meilleur!.......2003-04-17

Robert Townson célèbre ici le 500ème cd à être édité par Varèse Sarabande en créant une compilation receuillant les nombreux réengistrements que Varèse Sarabande sut faire au travers des dernières années. Regroupant du matériel de Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Alex North et plusieurs autres, In Session propose un parcours éclectique au travers des années de compositions de chacune des bandes sonores présentées au sein de la compilation. Le voyage commence à avec la musique rejetée de 2001 d'Alex North, pour faire un parcours passant par Rebecca, Citizen Kane (Félicitons ici le FABULEUSE voix de la soprano Janice Watson et la direction impécable de Joel McNeely), Viva Zapata!, Psycho, The Sand Pebbles, Patton, Jaws, Platoon (Autre musique rejetée du regreté Georges Delerue, pastiche du célèbre Adagio pour cordes de Samuel Barber), Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Musique composée par Joel McNeely pour le livre se déroulant entre The Empire Stricke Back et The Return of the Jedi) pour finalement clore avec Tara's Bulba. Il s'agit ici d'une sélection très riche, des morceaux d'une durée appréciable et d'une direction et d'une sonorité incroyable. Il s'agit ici d'un merveilleux cadeau de Robert Townson et Varèse Sarabande (Label qui célèbre en 2003 son 25ème anniversaire. Surveillez aussi la compilation de Varèse Sarabande (4 cds pour le prix de un!) qui verra le jour le 22 avril 2003) et c'est une compilation que toute personne sensible à la musique doit posséder! Chapeau Varèse!

A copy in every household . . ........2003-02-09

This disc is so chock-full of classic scores from classic films that every movie-and-music lover should own a copy. Thanks to Robert Townson for producing this collection and the entire Varese film score catalog. My favorite tracks from this disc are "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"; "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; and "Midway".

A sampler feat. some of the greatest film scores in history........2001-09-06

Words cannot convey what a collection like this means to a film music collector such as myself. Varese Saraband has been releasing quality film scores and music for the last 20 plus years. My vinyl and CD collections burst with so much great stuff from Varese. One day I was looking in the bins of my local record store and noticed this little gem of a collection. I looked at it and saw a virtual cornucopia of the great film score cues for only $ (and 2 discs). So I purchased it and opened it up. Much to my surprise, the booklet is chock full of information about each scoring session and pictures to boot. I also learned more about some of these wonderful pieces as well. Well thanks to Mr. Townson and this nice collection, I plan to purchase some of the recordings these cues were released on since I don't own classics like Viva Zapata, Alex North's 2001, Superman (not the Varese version, I do have the other release), and Patton. Guess I will have to save a few pennies, but it will be worth it. I recommend this collection to anybody who wants to discover and learn about the history of film music. I also think it's a great listen from the first song to the last on both discs. My compliments to Varese on a great collection of classics (and keeping it under $).

"the man behind Varese Sarabande ~ Robert Townson".......2001-04-06

The music that this label releases is without a doubt in a class by themselves, always perfection. Here we have the 500th CD release from ~ "The Man Behind The Music" ~ Mr. Robert Townson. So much care is taken with each album, that you feel you are witnessing the birth of a newborn baby, and that may be just what it is.

For those of us who buy each album ~ people who work to create them ~ the artwork ~ musicians ~ and a list of some of the most talented composers and conductors ~ John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, John Debney, Georges Delerue, Cliff Eidelman, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Lang, Henry Mancini, Joel McNeely, Alfred Newman, Alex North, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Shostakovich, Frederic Talgorn, Franz Waxman, Rick Wentworth and John Williams ~ and as always the sound quality and performances by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and National Philharmonic Orchestra is dynamically flawless and simply superb.

This economically priced 2-CD-Set ~ pure film score sampling ~ is worth it's weight in gold. One should not have a favorite from this vast collection, but if asked ~ it would be "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" (1962) composer Elmer Bernstein took it to the limit and beyond, the story-line, cast and score was the perfect marriage.

A big, big thank you to ~ Matthew Joseph Peak (cover/session photography) ~ Jonathan Allen, Geoff Foster, Bernie Kirsh, Mike Ross, Mike Sheady and Al Swanson (recording engineers) ~ Rich Breen (mastering engineer) ~ and for the extensive 28 page liner-note booklet featuring "behind the scenes" memories of these past 500 albums, may we look forward to future classics on the next 500 CD's from producer...ROBERT TOWNSON!

Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19

Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.

My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.

The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

Thrash Heads need not Apply.......2005-11-23

Simply because there isn't a 'thrash' song on the entire album. In order to be as creative as possible, Jeff Waters wrote and recorded all the parts on this album himself, not counting the drums. This makes for several cool metal songs such as King of the Kill, Annihilator, The Box, and Second to None, though none of them are really particularly fast or thrashy, except perhaps the title track. This album also features a number of bluesy AC/DC style rockers such as Speed, 21, and Fiasco. The ballad is represented here too, with Only Be Lonely, In the Blood, and the short Bliss. It's a well rounded metal album and cool to hear Waters on vox, but it's nowhere near the level of power on any of the other albums.

I have heard this album but dont own it........2005-11-22

Ive actually got it coming on order. Annihilator IS the mst over looked thrash band ever. Possibly the best as well. 11 albums and every sinlge one different. This one was middle era and stands up to everthing else hes done as well. King of the Kill kicks ass, so does The Box. Every album is sprinkled with melody in just about every song. Every song he has ever done has something catchy in it and this album is no exception. Speed is catchy as hell and Bliss and Catch the Wind are great instrumentals.Just go buy this.

Not just a metal band..........2004-08-17

I do not like heavy metal which merely is there to be loud. I actually prefer cheesy ballads and love songs. A friend of mine knowing this, once made me listen to 'phoenix rising' and 'sounds good to me', from the 'set the world on fire album' and, I loved these songs. I then slowly listened to the whole annihilator catalogue and found most of their songs were not merely thrash, but contained strong melodies and loads of different styles- the finger picking on many tracks and the change in textures and dynamics is excellent.
King of the kill is less thrashy. I love the heavy songs 'the box' and 'fiasco', but Waters can write ballads as good as any baladeer. 'Hell is a war' develops from a beautiful song into a multi-layered havy metal song, and is deep in meaning. 'In the blood' is one of the best ballads I've heard period and 'catch the wind' is a great guitar instrumental.
Why were songs like 'only be lonely' and 'it's you' (possibly greatest annihilator song EVER?) not on the original albums? Is it cos Waters thought thrashers wouldn't like a ballad? Well, I opened my mind to heavier music, there is no reason a lover of metal cannot do the same.

Still trying to recover the energy of "Alice in Hell".......2004-04-10

Here's what you get when Jeff Waters finally gets sick of all those annoying "other guys" that make a band and just goes it alone (although he did get a drummer to help him record).
Not a bad effort although most of the songs still lack the energy that was present on Alice in Hell. The guitar work is starting to be subdued (for good or bad) and generally this album is kind of a strange one.
I find myself not really having too much of an opinion on it. It isn't great but doesn't really have anything overly wrong with it either.
As an Annihilator fan, you have to own it just to have the "Annihilator" song in your collection :)

A mix between Never Never Land and Set the World on Fire.......2002-12-08

Whereas Alice in Hell and Never Never Land were all out thrash fests, King of the Kill is a more subdued, riff based and groove oriented album. Still 100% METAL though (could Annihilator be anything else?). There are some ballads here and there but they are mostly well done and rather cool in their simplicity. Towards the end more speed metal numbers are thrown in (Alice in Hell lite, ha) but my favorite songs are the heavier ones, like The Box or Annihilator. Cool cd.

Amazon.com essential recording

Purcell fans will delight in this collection of 30 of his 85 secular songs. Barbara Bonney, singing with ease and controlled fervor, steals the recording with her endearing sound and impeccable musicianship. Soprano Susan Gritton brings a more dramatic perspective, singing with zest and a little edge that almost, but never quite, grates. Sometimes, however, she vibrates mildly out of control. Tenors Charles Daniels and Roger Covey-Crump sing with grace, joviality, and tenderness, but both are a little shallow throughout the bottom. Countertenor James Bowman occasionally stumbles with intonation, but always lands standing upright. This buffet of various voices captivates the listener's attention span, totally avoiding potential monotony. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Purcell stole my heart.......2001-02-08

Alas, with the help of phenomenally expressive singers on this CD, Purcell has stolen my heart. I listened to this CD a few times then immediately emptied my pocketbook to the nearest consort putting on a Purcell concert. Such poverty is love.

Hear How Deerhoof Brought the Noise.......2006-05-23

And not a lot else. Like another review says, this is poorly- recorded and punishing noise for a large part. In this early release, it seems like a good portion of the band is not especially proficient on their instruments, as they are now.

This doesn't really mean you shouldn't buy this, at least if you like Deerhoof's more well-conceived recent works like _Apple O'_ and _The Runners Four_. Think of this as research as to how they got so mind-blowingly good. The ingredients are here: the use of noise, of course, but also the cute songs like "Gore in Rut" ("bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny") and "Polly Bee." "Gore in Rut" also comes in a live version entitled "Gore in Crown," which sounds as if Satomi is singing two rooms beneath where the band plays. Again, interesting principally for its disconcerting effect on the listener, not necessarily for its harmonic genius or structured use of noise (both factors you would want to analyze on more recent releases).

I would like to meet the person who listens to this album over and over like I do with _Milk Man_, say. I would like to hear why this is a really good album, as I like to consider myself an open-minded lover of all challenging forms of music. As for now, this is an intriguing curiosity in my Deerhoof collection, one I don't foresee catching the fever for (like I never caught the fever for the earliest Sonic Youth recordings like _Sonic Death_ and _Made in America_ while still not literally disliking them). They bring the noise here, but don't turn the noise into something as transcendent as, say, early Stockhausen or later Deerhoof.

Very, very noisy........2006-05-12

Let me start by saying that I LOVE this band! I first got The runners four and I was blown away, not only for the music but also for the heavyness and the power of the production value. So next was Reverie and it was kinda lo-fi but had great music. then Milk Man which probably is my fave, and Green Cosmos, both great music and production. This disc was almost unlistenable. Muddy 4track noise and peircing treble spikes hurt my ears. The live tracks at the end were the worst. But there was a few redeming qualaties, The song were she sings Bunny Bunny, I saw them on the pancake mountain website playing it live on a kids show! Let me stop complaining and by saying I LOVE THIS BAND!

ouch.......2003-10-29

when i first heard this album i was like "coooool". its really good. i hope you have a nice time listening to it.

Mind-scrambling cacophony & catchy sweet pop.......1998-05-13

Deerhoof throw together scratchy, crumbing, random noisescapes that spontaneously coalesce into sweet pop anthems- "Polly Bee" is the best example of this phenomenon, and may be the best song ever written, ever.
