5 out of 5 stars the boys from Logo finally get a single release.......2007-06-29

The gay twin brothers who made it big on Logo with their own reality show about coming out while pursuing a recording career have finally released their first single. And no, it is not a cover version of the classic Sparks new wave synth track. It's an original, and it is produced by none other than writer/producer Desmond Child, an openly gay man who was responsible for a whole lot of songs on Cher's 1980s come back rock albums. Here, though, it's ALL about the dance music. The blend of mixes goes from disco house to tribal to my favorite, the electro pop house Dave Aude mix. Tracks are:



1. soul seekers mix (7:16)

2. dave aude mixshow (5:58)

3. bronleewe & bose mix (5:53)

4. tracy young extended club mix (6:49)

5. tracy young extended video mix (6:51)

6. almighty mix (6:41)

5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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?

4 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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!

4 out of 5 stars 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."

5 out of 5 stars Musique de la Grece Antique: Sherri's Opinion.......2007-04-11

This music is almost like hearing ghosts. In a way the listener does hear ghosts, for the music has been saved from oblivion, and experts do not know everything about it. As much as possible, traditional instruments have been reconstructed based on pictures found on documents like vases and paintings. Sometimes you hear only a little fragment of something, about a minute. It's intriguing to think about who may have sung/played this music. The notes explain some of the technical details; musicologists will find that interesting. Because I know little about music, I wish for better notes about other things. For example, I would like more information in English about provenance, titles, and lyrics--as far as they are known. I wanted to know the words I heard sung. Other than the shortage of helpful notes, this is very interesting music.

5 out of 5 stars Beauty can survive destructive time.......2006-04-27

The first remark concerns the instruments of this music, instruments that have been reconstituted on the model of the ancient ones. We will consider them as germanely faithful, and they create sounds, a sound environment or ambience that is particularly original. The second remark is that this music is based on the pythagorian five-note scale that corresponds to the first five degrees of our modern major scale. Then a second group of these five degrees and intervals are added to the first five in a second identical group constituting a ten-note scale that will be the basis of all western music up to the Renaissance, and thus the basis of all Christian sacred music of the Middle Ages, a music known as gregorian. So, in this surprising sound ambience we also recognize some elements we have already heard and enjoyed in our heritage. Just take track # 3, ? Premier hymne delphique ? Apollon ?. Some of the chords are so close to gregorian music, and yet the instruments are so different, that we may think we are at the crossroads between some extraterrestrial music and gregorian chanting. In fact we are here at the very source of gregorian music that was to borrow everything from ancient Greek music. And then put this track # 3 in parallel with track # 16, ? Hymne chr?tienne (sic) d'Oxyrhynchus ? and you will hear the direct filiation. Track # 8 will provide you with the model of the traditional musics we find in the mountainous areas of the Mediterranean, Sicilia, Sardinia, Corsicca and Provence, among others, the music of shepherds and fishermen when coming back to land, a music that will become religious and christian later on and that still exists, mainly in the form of a polyphony. But the worst part - and also the best in a way - is that we only have fragments, tidbits, and that it is the concrete realization of the tremendous waste history has willed us and yet also the concrete evidence that history is never able to destroy something completely and that we have the means to reconstruct what has been destroyed with a specific procedure of genetic musical archaeology. To conclude we must take into account this recording is from 1978, i.e. a long time ago. To get a more complete vision we have to look for more recent recordings.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting........2003-12-29

I was expecting something a little more vigorous. But it is still fun. In a sober way.

4 out of 5 stars A collector's item for any music lover.......2003-12-26

Pretty much everything that I can think of to say about this CD has already been said here.

I agree that it is a bit weird. I don't listen to it very often either.

But having said that my tastes in music are not so much driven by intellect, so it doesn't bother me that liner notes might not be as complete as they could be.

I bought this CD in Japan back in the mid-1980's when compact discs were still an upcoming trend and LP's dominated. It's believable but still somehow amazing that I paid the equivalent of more than thirty U.S. bucks for what is now practically a steal.

I also am wondering why the quality of this old disc is deterioriating. Yes! There are scratchy sounds abounding where studied silence was once 'heard.' Consequently, I listen even less than I would otherwise. (I had considered putting it on an MD with the soundtrack to 'Gladiator' and then listening to both on the 'shuffle' mode.)

5 out of 5 stars Unique Find.......2002-09-11

I loved this cd. It has a professional feel to the music. It evokes images from the period that are distinct, useful, and complimentary to examination of the time. There seems to have been a real effort at authentication of the sounds of the era without over stepping the claims of its ultimate veracity. I was delighted and surprised at its very existence.

My only complaint would be that I was left wanting more. Knowledge of the exact origins and history of each piece would be useful.

Alexander Courage may have given the sprawling Star Trek franchise its signature musical fanfare, but for two decades it's been composer Jerry Goldsmith who's periodically infused the film and TV cycles with their crucial musical heart and soul or, as in the case of this rousing masterwork, their fire and fury. Giving nearly free reign to his notably modernist muse, the veteran has turned in a dark and driving orchestral maelstrom that's relieved only by its edgy, occasionally synth-burnished passages of alien intrigue and mounting suspense. Underpinned by bracing blasts of massive brass worthy of Bernard Herrmann and powered by Goldsmith's passionate sense of drama and mastery of orchestral color and dynamics, it's a score that not only ranks among the best of the imposing Trek musical catalog, but certainly one of the composer's most accomplished sci-fi scores of the last 20 years. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great Soundtrack.......2007-04-03

I absolutely love the soundtrack. I love Star Trek and it is a good soundtrack to have.

5 out of 5 stars Darker and haunting.......2006-05-07

This was Jerry Goldsmith's last soundtrack before he passed away.
It's a shame, he brought Star Trek to life through music. All us Trekkers will remember him.

I think he did a marvelous job of making the atmosphere of the soundtrack darker and more haunting and still retains that "Star Trek sound." There are action sequences like "Lateral Run" and "The Scorpion." There are also some touching pieces reflecting back on Data's herioc sacrifice. "A New Ending" and "A New Friend" are perfect examples of Data's last moments.

I was shocked that the producers didn't put in Data's rendition of Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies!" I never knew Brent Spiner could sing that well............

Listen to this soundtrack and let it take you back to the world of Star Trek.

4 out of 5 stars Good, But It's Mssing Something..........2005-01-28

I loved the movie Star Trek Nemesis and the music was great. I'm glad they have a CD of the music from the film. However, I am APPALLED that the song "Blue Skies" wasn't incorporated into the CD. How could they do that?! To me, the Deanna Troi/ Will Riker Wedding was made a little better by Data singing them "Blue Skies" for his wedding present. But, putting that aside, I would highly recommend this CD

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2004-07-29

This album is absolutely awesome. Jerry Goldsmith was an amazing composer, and as one of the last albums he's done, this is amazing.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Star Trek Score By Far.......2004-06-03

Jerry Goldsmith is a master composer. There are few people who will disagree with that assessment, but something about the tenth (and final?) "Star Trek" movie has inspired him to new heights. From the opening moments of the spectacularly pulse-pounding "Remus" -- one of the best pieces of music written for a "Star Trek" movie -- to the awesome "Engage" and finally "A New Ending," the grand conclusion to a terrific soundtrack. There isn't one misstep in this collection. If accompanied by a better movie this score gets an Oscar nomination hands down.

4 out of 5 stars 1980's Memories.......2006-07-25

This music was great in the early 1980's when I was a kid, and it still sounds great today!

3 out of 5 stars Nemesis.......2004-09-07

Found the tape at the Salvation Army for .50 cents about a month ago, not sure who Axe was. Nemesis is a typical 80's metal album. Their style fits in with groups like Motley Crue, Great White, Poison, W.a.s.P. etc. Not knowing anything about the band I didn't have very high expectations from the album. It was surprisenly good. Songs like Heat in the STreet and Young Hearts just rock. The album never really gets dull, just sounds similiar to the rest of the groups of their time, so a pretty cool album if you can find it at a good price.

5 out of 5 stars Another kick axe 80's album.......2003-01-19

Sadly, these bad boys of Axe never recieved the attention like they truly deserved cause they can do anything from power pop to grinding metal, and 1983 was the turning point of heavy metal due to the success of Motley Crue and Quiet Riot and Axe could've been in the same league with them, anything from Journey to Motorhead, the classic cuts are Heat in the Street, All Through the Night, She's Got the Power, Girls Girls Girls (my favorite), Eagle Flies Alone, Keep Playing That Rock 'n' Roll (originally done by Edgar Winter) and Let the Music Come Back. This album is highly recommended to those 80's rock fans but beware, this album is extremely hard to find and the first time I got this album (on Cassette) was at a local pawn shop and a year later it got eaten, then the following year I got it on vinyl and still have it to this damn day.

3 out of 5 stars Flawed Track Inclusion.......2007-07-29

I have to admit right off the bat that I don't own this album, although I've been trying to scrape up all the original soundtracks for the movies and some of the TV series. But looking through the track listing, it seems muddled with too many sound effects and tracks that could've been replaced with better ones. I wish Paramount and the recording industries would release a 2-CD set of tracks that includes only the main title sequences of each Star Trek TV series and standout tracks from the 10 feature films, since most of these soundtracks have gone out of print and are hard to find. Most of these compilations of different film tracks never include the main title sequences of the films, which are often the standout orchestral tracks of each movie. I hope they release an album like this, filled with only the best Trek music that is hard to find.

4 out of 5 stars Quite good, but not a stellar "Trek".......2007-05-18

Silva Screen Records has made a name for itself releasing reproductions of modern orchestral soundtracks, with most of its products centering around a particular genre or composer. Star Trek has a history of quality music, so its no suprise Silva has taken a crack at music in the final frontier. This is a fine release, with some strong points and some weak ones as well.

IN GENERAL: For the purist looking for a "best of" compilation taken from the original soundtracks take note: this isn't that product. Rather, these are reproductions by Nic Raine conducting the City of Prague Philharmonic. That said, this is a quality group, and the general sound is professional and comes off quite well (for the most part..I'll mention a few exceptions). It is superior to the other releases I have heard from the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.

SELECTION: The biggest advantage here is variety of sources. The Trek feature films are all represented here, as well as the various series (except for the last one, "Enterprise"). The thouroughness seems to match or excel the oher Star Trek Compilation CDs that have been released. There are a few other offbeat additions..notably a four minute suite from the videogame Star Fleet Academy. Personally, I found this bland track to be four minutes of wasted disk space. The original series has many memorable moments (listen to the Amok Time/The Doomsday Machine soundtrack) which would be be more exciting and also a better fit on this album.

Jerry Goldsmith's standard Star Trek March is heard far too often on these 2 CDs. The march itself is terrific, but it has been used so much it has become the franchise's major theme and the album's producers rely on it by representing many movies by their "End Titles". Unfortunately, Goldsmith's end titles consistently use a three-section approach: two sections of the "standard" Star Trek March sandwich a middle section of music that is unique for that particular film. This is OK if you are listening to a single movie's soundtrack, but for a compilation album, the fourth or fifth time you hear the march, it is too much. It would have been a better idea to cut a few "End Title" performances in favor of other selections from the films' soundtracks.

PERFORMANCE QUALITY: For the most part it is very good and captures the spirit of the original soundtracks. Selections from Horner's scores for the second and third films stand out as particularly well done. The last movie, "Nemesis" also has a terrifically arranged suite, and most of the movie soundtrack reproductions are very good quality. The only exception is from "Klingon Attack" in which the awesome bass of the "blaster-beam" from the original cannot be matched by the comparatively hollow synthesized atempt here.

PERSONAL GRIPE: the inclusion of sound effects. Every so often a special effect like "Warp Drive" or "Dogfight in Space" pops up between tracks. This by itself would be extremely cheesy. Add to this that these are not the actual sound effects from the TV shows or movies and the cheesiness levels reach a level I think only a Wisconsin resident could appreciate. Sci Fi music (and Star Trek in particular) seems to inspire some labels to add special effects inclusions like this. Who knows why.

Great collection of Star Trek series and Movie themes; only a Klingon
Opera is missing.

5 out of 5 stars I must disagree.......2005-07-17

I own all the original recordings, and I still enjoy this re-recording. It is good. It is better than the Cincinatti Pops "Symphonic Star Trek", it is better than the Richard Hayman "Star Trek" compilation from 89, its better than the Sci Fi compilation on the Edel label from 93 and for the most part is better than Varese's Ultimate Star Trek from 1998.

This collection has music you will not find anywhere else. The Tasha's Farewell track is beautiful and the only other place its avialable is the Edel "Best of Science Fiction" compilation from 1993, and while that was recorded by the same orchestra, it was with a different conductor, and comparing the two, you can tell that Nic Raine was more successful with Prague than William Motzing was. That said Edel release is also more than $30 here on amazon. Also this release is in HDCD Dolby which is a plus. There's also two cues from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; one of them is on The Best of Star Trek: 30th Anniversary Special, the other is not on any other album. In addition, there is music from Ron Jones "Starfleet Academy" video game which is pretty cool to listen to, and not availble anywhere else that I know of. Finally, Jerry Goldsmith's main theme can get boring after a while, I mean, its repetitive that it is in all the end credit suites, it would have been nice for Insurrection to have maybe an action cue instead of the end credits suite...And Nic Raine, did just that, only for Star Trek: Nemesis. Instead of the tradition end credit suite, Mr. Raine arranged a professional suite with the main Nemesis theme, some action cues, as well as the Goldsmith Star Trek march, and it is a wonderful 8 minutes. If you already have the 3 space and beyond albums, the Star Trek Nemesis track as well as Birds of Prey Decloaking from Star Trek III are the only new tracks on this CD.

This is a must-buy for fans of star trek in general, and hardcore star trek fans should buy this album for the aforementioned cues that aren't available anywhere else.

5 out of 5 stars Travel in Time with Ensemble De Organographia.......2005-12-13

To hear the music that maybe Alexander the Great or Julius Ceaser (or even Jesus Christ) had heard - it`s a miracle! And this re-creation of antique music sounds most lively and sincere for me (comparing with record by Atrium Musicae de Madrid). You could understand the ancient culture through spirituality and emotions of the ancient people. Philip Neuman and Gayle Stuwe Neuman play the music on the instruments re-created by their own hands. Ensemble De Organographia performs it in very colourful manner, so you could listen to this CD as to record of live folk world music, not as to dry academic experiment in archeology of music.
Ensemble De Organographia re-created even Sumerian music. Their CD "The Music of Ancient Sumerians, Egyptians and Greeks" I also highly recommend for the lovers of the ancient music.
You could find both CDs on www.northpacificmusic.com.

5 out of 5 stars In some ways, even better than "Musique de la Grece antique".......1999-07-07

This recording is at once more complete in its textual basis, more clear and bright in its production, and in many cases better performed, than the earlier recording "Musique de la Grece antique" by Atrium Musicae (Harmonia Mundi CD -- also sold by Amazon.com). It is a superbly done, even haunting recording. But though Gayle Neuman has a beautiful voice, she is but one singer -- and I miss the richness of the instrumentation and the vocal variety found on the earlier recording. But you can't beat the liner notes, or the photo of the instrument replicas that is included with the liner notes.

I find it fascinating that Philip Neuman & Co., in reconstructing the original instruments for this recording, came up with very nearly the same tone colors that Atrium Musicae did with their reconstructions. So far as I know, there was no collaberation between the two groups -- least of all in their approaches to the ancient music. The Neumans and William Gavin sought a quasi-archaeological "authenticity"; Atrium Musicae, to infuse new life into the music through their own spirits. Comparing the results is like comparing the arrangements of the same song, "My Heart Will Go On", performed by Celia Dion and Kenny G: they seem alike, and yet very much unlike.

5 out of 5 stars Blowing speakers to hell and back.......2005-08-29

The song, Last night, on this cd is one of the first cds I remember I could make our windows shake to. I did blow our family's speakers to this song when I was younger. It doesn't seem easy to find these songs besides on this cd. "Last night" has great bass and a good groove. Thank goodness for Amazon's preview listening. Now, everybody can hear it.

Man, we used to bump them back in the day while holding stereo contests. This brings back memories! It's a great album and a perfect example of the TRS-808 capabilities once thumping bass lines were discovered. Great beats combined with lyrics and sampling--I've waited for years to find this on CD.

4 out of 5 stars Sounds like Slayer? Are you deaf?.......2007-05-09

I have been listening to Slayer since '85 and those of you who think this is a Slayer ripoff must be smokin instead of listenin. The two sounds are completely different. The guitar work is better, no Kerry bending the same string for way to long. Dave shines as the best metal drummer of all time, maybe tied with Vinnie, but Dave was doin it first. The vocals are strong, almost as good as Slayer but in a different realm to be sure. For their second album it is as tight as anything I have heard before. Dave's drums make the show. Turn it up and feel the power. This is power metal at it's best. Slayer is as good today as they were the first time I saw them in '85, it shows their strength and thier passion for their music. They (thank god) never followed the scene, they are the scene today as much as they were back then, Grip is leading the way as well, play on Dave we love ya,

5 out of 5 stars An equally great followup to their 1995 debut........2006-10-13

Nemesis sees Grip Inc. cranking up the thrash element a bit on this release in comparison to their 1995 debut Power of Inner Strength.

While stylistically, Nemesis doesn't make much of a departure overall from their sound they had already established on the debut.

There is some small advancement of their sound on this release, but nothing to the level that their next 2 releases Solidify & Incorporated would display.

But like I had already mentioned, there is much more of a true thrash element permeating throughout this release in comparison to Power of Inner Strength.

Dave Lombardo still shows that he's the greatest metal drummer to ever walk the earth. The guitar work and vocals are just as great as well.

There might not be quite as much variety on this 2nd effort as on their debut, but overall, this album makes a great companion piece to their debut release.

Fans of smart and well written/performed metal would do wise to pick up their entire catalog.

This is some of the most overlooked metal that has been released up to this point. Unfortunately, Grip Inc constantly got labled as just a Slayer ripoff, but in most respects, Grip Inc is a totally different band and in a lot of areas such as songwriting/arrangements etc. is a stronger band than Slayer anyway.

But to me, comparing Grip Inc to Slayer is like comparing apples to oranges.

1 out of 5 stars Sounds Like Slayer Which isn't a bad thing but................2003-11-28

Man I heard this band on satellite radio and I was like yeah new Slayer but when I looked to see who it was I saw Grip Inc. and I was like damn. I mean Slayer is a great band but I cant listen to another band that sounds like there ripping them off....and this band does just that. I mean damn, find your own sound instead using another bands. But...if you like Slayer then I guess it might not be a big deal to some people like it is to me so if you care then I would go buy this cd but to people like me I tried to listen to it but it just made me pissed off that to me, and other people may have a different opinion this band is making money off a sound that they didn't even make. Well like I said if you dont care then give it try and you will be guarenteed to like it but if u do care then dont evenb try. Later

5 out of 5 stars Grip Inc. Shines Through..........2002-06-28

Ever since I heard Slayer's 'Hell Awaits' I was hooked. But when I found out that drummer Dave Lombardo left. I was really mad, but at the same time eager to listen to his new project. Grip Inc.'s 'Nemesis' is by far their strongest release of their career. Grip Inc. blends tradition thrash, with modern death and the combination is just suberb. Gus Chamber's vocals have true feeling in them, and you can feel that through out the album. "War Between One" is the best track on the record. The lyrics rock, the vocals are perfect, the guitar and bass just hit hard, and ya' know the drums are getting their use. The seond best song on the album is "Rusty Nail", it kind of reminds me of old school Slayer, but just a little bit harder. Another standout track is "Myth Or Man". It is hard to find a song like that, with so much emotion on most thrash releases. To sum it all up, Grip Inc. is one of the best bands out there. They have yet to release a bad album, so don't waste any time. Pick this one up right away...

5 out of 5 stars bLuDgEoNeD by Lombardo!.......2001-10-22

The intro to Liar starts out similar but not like the song Ostracized did on the album Power of Inner Strength, and then it hits you like a bottle upside your head-hard. Rythmic pounding with guitar ripping waves of metal overpower Your senses like a welcomed wall of sound (metal shock is revealed), and there is still the rest of the album. I had a friend tell me to check these guys out, and now I have all three GRIP INC albums to date! IT IS NOT LIKE ANY SLAYER ALBUM, but I did like some of their music. This band has a different style entirely!
Lombardo and his crew are hopefully going to be around for a while, but with all the projects Lombardo has delved himself into.....who knows!
