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."

docked a star for sound / "ripped" off riff.......2005-09-10

The music on this is great- no doubt about it. Queen of the Deep is a great song; Flashpoint is a good rocker; The Ripper is a creepy atmospheric song that effectively and dramatically pushes you inside the mind of a serial killer. Euan Lowson is an interesting singer to say the least. Crown of Thorns is a nice song but it rips off Genesis too blatantly. Pizza Pebozo often puts this band down- but these guys are really a good band and damn if they didn't capture the spirit of the 70s prog by revitalizing the prog scene in the 80s. So bless these guys along with Marillion, Pendragon and a few others.

A trip down memory lane for one of the best "unknown" bands.......1999-09-04

This album is must for any old fans of Pallas, and in fact for anyone discovering them now for the first time. Although quite dated by todays standards, and with very basic production standards (five of the nine tracks here are live recordings - and from the sounds of them with no overdubs!) this collection of tracks demonstrates a range of styles, and introduced early fans to Pallas "classics", one or two of which are still prominent in their live shows today. The Album opens with the title track, Arrive Alive, which is in no uncertain terms a full on red blooded classic song. This version, rough and ready, is the first song I ever heard by Pallas and one everybody should have on their favorite cruising in the car compilation tape. This track was rerecorded for "The Sentinel" album, and although the production on that version is far superior to this one, this one has an urgency and vigour that is still apparent when played live today. Moving on, Five To Four, Queen Of The Deep, Flashpoint and The Ripper, here performed live, show the bands roots and influences. Genesis, Pink Floyd and Rush all get a look in here. Large instrumental passages give away the fact that the bands singer at the time, Euan Lowson, was prone to spend time changing into various costumes. The last live track, Crown Of Thorns, is another classic. In fact, at is at this point on this rerelease that one of the omissions from the original release, Heart Attack, raises its head. However Heart Attack (like Crown Of Thorns) was rerecorded as a B-Side when the band signed to EMI, and will hopefully surface if "The Sentinel" is rereleased on CD. After this, Paris is Burning, The Hammer Falls and Stranger On The Edge Of Time, all studio tracks show a more avant garde side to Pallas, with Graeme Murray taking a poigniant turn on vocals for The Hammer Falls.
