A GREAT FILM COMPOSER.......2002-08-14
Almost everybody knows that for more than 25 years,HENRI MANCINI was one of the best composer of music for movies.He collaborated with directors STANLEY DONEN(CHARADE,ARABESQUE,TWO FOR THE ROAD)and BLAKE EDWARDS(BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S,THE PINK PANTHER,DARLING LILI)to name a few.With that cd,you get an interesting sample of his works.Those who really like his music a lot,are now fortunate to choose among the original soundtracks albums now available on the market on 2 soundtracks on 1 cd collection.
a great Composer.......2000-02-15
what can you say about the Genius Of Henry Mancini? his songs are timeless.The Pink Panther theme alone still sounds fresh to this day.he is a great Composer.
Best...........1999-10-05
I'm 19 and I love this old stuff! You just don't hear this stuff around anymore...and although there is good stuff like Chemical Brothers and Smash Mouth floating around, the old stuuf is still the best. Mancini rules!
Its great.......1999-07-06
I use to have these records and sold them about 600+ a couple of years ago, and really miss this kind of music. The artist's are great and the pieces of music are awsome. Just great music!!!!

Cheesy remake.......2007-06-30
I bought this CD years ago and after moving my collection, I dusted this off. I remembered I didn't really like it the first time I heard it and after playing it again I remember why. It is as one of the other reviewer said... "discofied tunes". It's copyrighted 1986, but the sounds are strictly 1970's generic tv sounds. Ugh, everything was so badly synthesized. I bought this originally thinking it was a compilation album of sorts. Hey if your thing is synthesized, disco sounding tunes, go right ahead. If you are looking for closer to original reproductions, look elsewhere. This may actually be the first CD album I considered throwing away, and after the used prices I see it going for I may just do that.
Can you read my mind?.......2004-05-09
This is the first of Neil Norman's Greatest Science Fiction Hits. The album features re-recordings of famous science fiction themes, produced and arranged by Neil and the late great Les Baxter. The songs are done in a discofied synth pop style, which works pretty well in most of the cases here. I said that these are famous science fiction themes, but four of the tracks here were apparently written especially for this album by Baxter or Norman. I have been unable to find any information about a film called "Journey to the 7th Galaxy". There have been films called "Phantom Planet", "Not of This Earth" and "Black Hole", but the tracks here do not appear to be from those films. Regardless of all that, this is a fun album. Recommended to science fiction fans.
"We are not alone in this universe".......2000-03-06
An expert in creating a sound very similar to the original Sc-Fi score, 16 familiar soundtracks are arranged and performed by Neil Norman and His Cosmic Orchestra. Produced and arranged by Les Baxter and Mr. Norman, this compilation has some interesting tracks for soundtrack collectors. While many of the serious fans will prefer the "original soundtrack" these are quite good and very entertaining.
There are some stand outs - ALIEN (Jerry Goldsmith) the 1979 Blockbuster set the standards once again for film scoring on the Sci-Fi level - CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (John Williams) in 1977 this composer gave us the feeling we are not alone and the alien is not the enemy, but a stranger we need to communicate with, by what method, well "music" of course, the universal language.
Total Time: 41:39 on 18 Tracks/ GNP-Crescendo Records - GNPD 2128 (1986)
Encounter this CD.......1999-04-14
Neil Norman's Cosmic Orchestra scores big on this collection of Science Fiction favorites. The band leans toward a bluesy, jazzy sound that adds a certain charm to the musical arrangements. The two best tracks are "Alien" and the original TV "Outer Limits."

This first installment of Sci-Fi's Greatest Hits opens, appropriately, with two famous pieces, "2001: A Space Odyssey" (a.k.a. the prelude to Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra) and "Star Wars" (a.k.a. John Williams's variation on Holst's The Planets), and further mines film and TV history for interstellar anthems. Much of this stuff is predictable; different selections from films like The Black Hole and Blade Runner would have been more interesting. Yet there are diamonds in the rough, including the eerily disjointed theme to Planet of the Apes, the psychedelic electronic swirl of Dr. Who, and the squealing strings of Alien (before such a concept became cinema cliché). This is a decent dedication to those brave souls exploring the furthest reaches of space. --Bryan Reesman

For the Most Part, A Great Collection.......2007-01-27
No various artists CD collection is going to be perfect, and "Final Frontiers" is no exception. Still, I am quite pleased with this compilation.
Yes, it's true: the tracks for "Star Wars", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi" are re-records and not from the original soundtrack. But now the good news: unless you already own the original soundtrack CDs and know them by heart, you'd think that these WERE the originals. They're that good. "Star Wars" (Track 2) starts with the opening credits music, including music from the opening battle scene, then segues nicely into a medley inspired by the closing credits music. "Empire Strikes Back" (Track 3) is the Imperial March/Darth Vader's theme. (Gotta love that, right?) "Return of the Jedi" (Track 4) is the least of the three, not unlike the movie itself.
For people looking to add to their musical library, might I suggest also picking up Sony's "Classical Hits" compilation CD, also available on Amazon. That version includes the "Battle of the Fates" music from Phantom Menace, as well as music from other movies, like Gladiator, Braveheart, and Titanic. Even better, all of the aforementioned tracks on the "Classical Hits" CD ARE the original soundtrack recordings. So by just purchasing that CD and this one, "Final Frontiers", you'll have plenty of great movie music at your fingertips.
A few other quick observations about "Final Frontiers":
The "Star Trek" theme (Track 5) varies slightly from the version heard on the TV show. I have to believe that this is not the original Alexander Courage recording from 1966, but instead a re-recording. Let your own ears be the judge.
The Amazon track listings for the "Lost in Space" themes are in error. Track 7 is actually the theme from the 1967 season, followed by the 1965 season theme(Track 8). No big. Both tunes, composed by John Williams, would appear the studio originals. Which is a good thing, because 1967 season theme is hard to find on CD.
The sound quality for the theme from "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" (Track 12) is atrocious. And I don't mean from an audiophile's perspective. Your average sound novice will listen to that track and think, "Where was that music recorded, in somebody's toilet?"
Personal faves, like "Planet of the Apes", "Dr. Who", "Total Recall", "Battlestar Galactica" (Lorne Greene version) and the wonderfully cheesy "Space 1999" theme are all here, and are all studio originals.
Overall, a great purchase.
disappointment........2005-07-01
Disappointment. To tell the truth, I have purchased this CD mainly because of the "Alien" movie theme. Therefore was very disappointed - the theme was reduced, as it seems to me, on 70 %. The same is with the "Abyss" theme - you will hear drums only... Music from Blade Runner sounds strange - not like Vangelis. I regret, that has bought this CD.
Interesting !!....but beware.......2002-04-17
Whoa !! When I first saw this on Amazon, I did not hesitate to grab hold of this as soon as possible. There they are.....all the themes from TV and movies from the 60s to 90s that I've always wanted. But sadly, halfway through the CD, I felt a bit disappointed as not all are originals (and I wonder why they could not get their hands on them, since this CD is priced at premium). So beware of the following :
Track 1 : Space Odyssey to Track 4 : Return of the Jedi
These are NOT originals, but recorded by other orchestras.
Tracks 5 to 25 : are originals, containing many interesting TV themes from the 60s and 70s, except that, the theme of Buck Rogers is so badly mastered that it sounds as if it was recorded with a microphone direct from the TV box. They should have just dumped this track if they could not get a better recording.
Track 26 : Blade Runner is the recording by the New American orchestra, and NOT the original by Vangelis.
Tracks 28 to 33 : they are originals from the TV, but most are too short and some merely contains snippets of sounds and voices, not really worth listening.
But, overall this is a must buy, as you can only get all these themes together in this volume.
Great sci-fi memories.......2001-06-26
"Sci-Fi's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: Final Frontiers" is an anthology CD that collects science fiction music from film and television. The themes included span in time from the late 1950s to the late 1990s.
This CD is a lot of fun, and will evoke a lot of memories for those of us who have enjoyed these shows and movies (either first run or in syndication). Many of sci-fi's most famous musical cues are here: the opening fanfare from "2001: A Space Odyssey," the theme from the original "Star Trek" (complete with the memorable narration), the "Dr. Who" theme, and more. Overall, a great treat for sci-fi fans.

The Starlite Singers.......2002-05-09
Who are the Starlite Singers? They are the artists that sing every song on all of the 5 CD's that come in this collection. I assumed that when amazon said various artists, that meant the original recording artists would be performing the songs but that is not the case. I guess the various artists are the various members of the Starlite Singers. It sounds like one really bad night at the karaoke bar. The CDS' are not worth the price.
