Perfect for Halloween!.......2007-01-04

We enjoyed broadcasting the tunes thru our mp3 player on Halloween night. THe trick or treaters and their parents really enjoyed the music

What, you call this scary music?.......2005-07-07

I'm familiar with most of the pieces found in this CD, and I can say I don't think they are frightening at all. They're great and highly enjoyable in their own right (the 'Danse Macabre' by Camille Saint-Saens is lovely dance music), but if one's intention is to bring together a collection of pieces of truly scary classical music, then this anthology hasn't done the job.

Here's a list of what I would consider TRULY TERRIFYING works of classical music:

~Ralph Vaughan Williams' 4th & 6th symphonies (especially the 2nd movement of each of them)

~Igor Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring'

~Gyorgy Ligeti's 'Atmospheres' and 'Lux Aeterna' (used in the film '2001')

~Almost anything by Bela Bartok (but especially his 'The Miraculous Mandarin')

If you want to be truly frightened, go for the said pieces!

Music Is Very Good, However................2004-08-14

The music on this CD is all very good, but as I play it, I don't really feel that "Bump in the Night" sensation throughout. Since it appears to be marketed for fun Halloween gatherings, I cannot honestly say that it will jumpstart the mood for the average party-goer. While "Funeral March For a Marionette" is extremely creepy and sets the mood (for those of you baby-boomers who don't recognize the title---this was the theme music to the "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" TV series), other tunes kind of pull the plug on the momentum. Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" might ring Seasonal for classical music buffs, but I think your everyday Joe will picture helicopters soaring over Vietnam and the cry "I love the smell of napalm in the morning!"

FOUR STARS if you just want a nice sampling of bold classical music, and TWO STARS if you want it to go "Bump!" in the Night.

Good Classical type Halloween music anthology.......2004-07-14

While this CD might cover most of the standard "creepy classics", there are a few more it could have covered, but frankly, the only song on the whole thing I didn't care for was Ives "Halloween". Some people may think that completely discordant music is great, but I do NOT! Otherwise, everything else was a great selection, and very entertaining. Definitely worth having, esp. if you like classical music.

Good for Halloween Gatherings.......2003-09-25

If you're looking for a fun CD with spooky sounding music that reminds you of old Disney cartoons...I think that this CD was meant to be fun, NOT for the classical conisseur. It would be a nice CD for a Halloween gathering, or something similar, as background music.

The best Stratovarius album? Hmmm... well not for me anyways........2006-08-08

Well... I would call this CD an average CD but this isn't really for me entirely. It came out in 1989, but it sounds a lot older than that. It sounds like something a band would come out in the very early 80s. Although I am a big fan of a few old school metal bands (like old Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Slayer) this really doesn't do it for me. It's not really that heavy for a power metal album. Certainly not for people who care for heavyness in their music. I'm not saying that softness is a bad thing in music I just think that this album would have sounded better if the production increased the sound volume a lil more. So what I am saying then, if you like something that sounds in the line of Black Sabbath and Black Label Society you well probably love this album. As for me, it just didn't do it for me. I got three albums from them so far. They are Visions (amazing album), Elements Pt. 1 (only liked a few songs here but the ones that I like are my favorites), and Episode (another awesome album). I know that they were different in the past so I was prepared to expect the difference (I love both old and new Arch Enemy, same goes for In Flames). Do not get me wrong of this but I STILL LIKE IT but just not wowed is all. If your gonna start off with this band start off with Visions. It's definitly the best way you can go.

Song ratings: 1 = lowest 10 = highest (in my opinion)

Future Shock: 6/10 Not a bad intro to the album. It kicks things up with a bang.

False Messiah: 7/10 This song has a beat that makes the album feel like it's still starting up while it's getting stronger at the same time.

Black Night: 5/10 My least favorite on here. It's not that bad but the vocalist annoys me when he says "no no no no no no".

Witch Hunt: 10/10 This song is stuck in my head so I really have no choice but to give it a 10. It's an awesome song and the rhythm will get stuck in your head for days.

Fire Dance: 9/10 The half way point of the album. It's an awesome instrumental and it launches you into the second half of the album. The drummer is a shining sun on this instrumental.

Fright Night: 10/10 Best song off the album without a doubt. It's the longest and heaviest song off the album. Very great. Sometimes I just skip to Fire Dance, listen to this song next, then just turn off the album because I just feel like listening to this gem.

Night Screamer: 10/10 Very good song. Deserves another 10.

Darkness: 7/10 Not bad. Very enchanting feeling.

Goodbye: 8/10 It's an outtro. I love albums that have these instrumentals in it cause it keeps the pace of the album will either ending of beggining it. It's a nice way to end this album. After this song ends I feel pretty majestic yet disapointed at the same time.

So this maybe wasn't my cup of tea. I probably had too much death metal is all but anyways. These are just my faults for the album. Others I'm sure will enjoy it since a lot of people enjoy the old school feeling this album brings. I woundn't recommend it to someone who likes really heavy bands such as Necrophagist, Obituary, Carcass, Death, and you get the point. I highly recommend it though to people who love old school metal. Just be warned it's not for everyone at all. Dangerously overhyped.

It lets "Twilight Time" eat dust !.......2005-11-03

If you don't know, Twilight time or Stratovarius II was the group's second cd. It's only average, despite the good songs
(Break the ice or Out of the shadows for example).
Fright Night is the band's rarest studio album, but the best with
Timo Tolkki on vocals if we make the good track percentage. (Debut too)
With the exception of the filler Goodbye ( acoustic instrumental)
this work has NO DOWNS. Almost no keyboards, but inventive riffs
and AWESOME guitar solos by Tolkki as always. Tuomo Lassila ( ex-drummer) doesn't let the repetition ghost, that haunts Jorg Michael, get near.It's heavier overall but didn't lose the melodic metal attributes.

Future shock: Looks like Timo put clothes nailer on his nose to sing, but don't be afraid: it doesn't mean untuning.

False Messiah: It contains something that Jari Kainulainen doesn't do in Strato songs : bass solo (short,but well placed).
The beat varies much (thanks, Lassila!). Good chorus. One of my favourites.

Black Knight: Go, go, go ,go, go ,go! Black Knight! Tolkki's energy in this track called my attention. That guitar stroke in 2:20 ...... fabulous! He does some David Murray-esque(Iron Maiden guitarist) linking solos (turbo)in the beggining. Listen, man!

Witch hunt: Tuomo does an interesting drum solo at start, check it out.

Fire Dance: Well worked instrumental. 47 seconds mark: a rhythm that remembers the army, I like it. As in standard Strato instrumental songs, Tolkki abuses of his playing abilities.How great!

Fright Night : It's like the 2nd track ,many tempo variations.
It came closer to the progressive style.
It has my favourite riffs in the album. One word sums it all:
perfect

The 7th and 8th tracks are worthwhile too.
If you can't buy it in your country try downloading it from internet.

Masterpiece for melodic metal fans!.......2003-09-06

This is absolutely Stratovarius best album! There are no weak lenks. Tolkki sings better can you imagine. Instrumental tracks are just great ( Fire Dance and Goodbye ). My favourites songs are False Messiah and Fright Night, which are melodic heavy classics. Why I can't find these songs of Chosen Ones best of collection. This album is must buy for every Stratovarius fan and those people. Keyboards player is a real professional and he plays like a heavy metal god. Tolkki can play guitar like a master!

I Love This Album!.......2002-11-14

Being that this was the first album put out by Stratovarius, I have to say that I am impressed to hear that they were good even back then. I absolutely love this album! Obviously, its not really like their newer stuff (except for the solos, which you can obviously tell is by Timo Tolkki) but it is still one of my favorite albums of all. Every song on this one is great. The songs are unlike anything I've ever really heard. Believe me, I'm not saying this album is great only because its Stratovarius and I have to say its good no matter what, I truly mean it. Maybe not everyone would agree this album is incredibly good, but for those of you who are open minded, like Stratovarius' other albums, and appreciate early metal, you should give it a try. Besides, if you really don't like it that much, just remember, their are many other people out there who would love to have this rare album.

Frightfully genius!.......2000-07-13

This was the last edition to my Stratovarius collection. At first, skepticism took hold of me...not for long. The melodies may not be as dramatic as on some of their newer, more symphonic albums yet the unique Strato sound is not lost. I guarantee that if you enjoy the newer music put out by this band, then this CD belongs with you!

Fun Halloween Eletronica.......2002-07-10

When I bought "Fright Night Delight"--along with a few other Halloween CDs--, I had expected just sound effects: doors creaking, bats flying, screams--you get the idea. This CD, however, is a mix of sound effects and dance music, which was a little better than I had hoped, since I enjoy both.

"Fright Night Delight" starts with one of my favorite tracks on here: "Vampire's Delight", a slow song with a mixture of piano, organ, and electronic drum beats. Next is the "Theme From Beetlejuice", which I remembered more from the cartoon than from the movie. Track 3 ("Lurking in the Dark") is another good one, with a slow, eerie combination of electronica/piano/organ. Track 4 ("Dance of the Demented Goblins"), however, is hard to take seriously at all. It's just a bunch of random cackles and laughs set to music. It's more like being at a circus than a haunted house.

Tracks 5, 6, and 7 run together and are thus titled the "Terror Trilogy". Track 5 ("Thunderstorm"), a somewhat slow mix of rain and piano, is a little disappointing as a thunderstorm. It just seemed like typical rainy weather where I live (in the Pacific Northwest). Track 6 ("Chased Down") is a great swift song with string/horn instrumentals. Track 7 ("The Theme") is the most dance-ish song on here and another one of my favorites.

Track 8 ("Supernatural") returns to the gloomy atmosphere with organ/electronica music, followed by Track 9 ("Vital Organ") with monks chanting/singing and ghostlike moaning. Track 10 ("Atramchasis Epos") is a very peaceful, relaxing song if you didn't know it was on a horror compilation and should have ended this CD, in my opinion. Track 11 ("Theme From the Addams Family"), however, breaks the melancholy pattern with its cheesy harpsichord rendition of the Addams family theme. Certainly not the best version I've heard of this song.

"Fright Night Delight" isn't a very creepy or scary CD at all, but it's still fun to listen to at night. It sets a great mood, and is certainly worth listening to if you enjoy Halloween and dance music. One of my favorites.

ATTN: MOVIE FANS.......1999-12-27

THIS CD INCLUDES THOSE GREAT DARK/APOCALYPTIC CLASSICAL MUSIC SONGS THAT ARE FOUND IN SO MANY MOVIES BUT NEVER ABLE TO FIND ON CD. I STUMBLED ACROSS IT BY ACCIDENT AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED.
