Lil Wayne can't be touched in this rap game right now, he's simply the best rapper alive...
Beast.......2007-07-24
LIL WAYNE HAS EVOLVED FROM A RAPPER INTO A BEAST!!
HIS LYRICAL SKILLS ARE UNBELIEVABLE...HE CAN MAKE SENSE OUT OF NON SENSE!!
I WISH I HAD ANOTHER SET OF HANDS SO I COULD GIVE THIS MIXTAPE 4 THUMBS UP!!
Ballin'.......2007-06-13
Wayne truely is the best rapper alive he can take anyones beats and make them his own..... Like he once said "i can say don't rhyme and it rhyme" he's right..... this cd is dope and i would suggest it to anyone who likes Lil Wayne
Very Impressive.......2007-05-24
Lil Wayne Is in my opinion, the king of mixtapes right now. He is avereging about 1 mixtape every three months. This Mixtape is Awesome. Alot of his other mixtapes have people from his record label, and you only get to hear Weezy on one of the verses. However, on this mixtape he does it mainly by himself. This is more like a full cd or two. Great punchlines, I had to rewind a couple of times because I was dumb founded. Definitely worth the buy. Cant wait for his next mixtape!

the best cd ever.......2007-05-30
this cd was the best cd i heard in a long time, i bought hawwii 5 o the 1 st season that was a great dvd pack,talk to you soon.
The BEST one made.......2007-04-03
To me, this is his best CD where Gerald is singing with his father. They sound almost alike. Everytime I hear them singing "Wind Beneath My Wings" together, I always cry. Theirs was a special father and son relationship.
Father and Son.......2007-03-29
I love Eddie's deep voice. Gerald and Eddie sound so much a like. This cd is a must buy.
Winning CD from a winning DUO.......2007-03-08
Father and Son is the first full-length collaboration between Gerald and Eddie LeVert, two singers who have sustained their popularity throughout the changing climate of soul and R&B for over two decades. Appropriately, the album falls into the middle ground between the heart-stopping, smooth soul of Eddie's group, the O'Jays, and the slicker, funkier LeVert, which featured Gerald. Largely produced by Gerald and his longtime associate Edwin "Tony" Nicholas -- with Eddie and Dwain Mitchell handling some of the funkiest numbers -- Father and Son showcases both of the vocalists to fine effect. Half of the album is devoted to sweeping ballads, like the single "Already Missing You" and "Don't Make Me Beg." The other half is full of funk workouts, including a smouldering cover of the O'Jays' "You Got Your Hooks in Me" featuring Walter Williams, the singer of the original, on lead. What holds Father and Son together the most is the love and respect between Gerald and Eddie LeVert, which is evident by the way the two singers play off of each other. Most duos compete for the spotlight. Here, each vocalist lets the other shine.
Great CD.......2007-01-11
This is a truly great CD that any Gerald or Eddie Levert should have.

Given that it's largely credited with reinventing Hollywood--or at least fostering its overweening box office expectations--it's hard to imagine that the genesis of George Lucas' sprawling, multi-billion dollar Star Wars franchise was once considered a risky studio proposition at best. But Lucas himself has wisely singled out the robust, retro-romantic music of composer John Williams as the unlikely artistic linchpin that holds all of the saga's disparate dramatic, thematic and technical elements firmly together. Boxed together here then are three of the most successful and influential film scores of modern Hollywood, work that draws as much on Williams' masterful sense of classical music history as it does his own well-studied melodic and arranging instincts. Each of the three double-disc collections here contains all of the music written for Star Wars: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (and even Alfred Newman's intyroductory "Fox Fanfare"), newly upgraded via Direct Stream Digital remastering that adds stunning new presence and clarity to Williams' rousing, epochal scores. Each chapter also features a lenticular 3-D cover and newly designed fold-out film poster, as well as encoded disc features allowing online access to elaborate new Star Wars screen savers; the ultimate musical compendium of the original Star Wars triptych. --Jerry McCulley

Wonderfull Collection to have but no Orignal Art Work........2007-06-21
This is without any doubt the best musical presentation for STAR WARS trilogy with excellent remastering. Also, wonderfull music to listen.
It was arranged in same order as the movie and i think it has all the music from the films and more. Also it contain the original 20th Century Fox Fanfare recording for each movie which is rare to listen. In this way you can listen and enjoy the way was the music is recorded for each movie at that time without any enhancement, and that for Star Wars truly music lovers.
The only drawback i found that is lacking the orignal art work for each movie which are the finest and best ever. There are wonderful posters from different type, style A, B, C, and advanced, which i was expecting to see them again here or somewere els.
I was hoping and wishing from ( A Long Time Ago ... ) that they release again same original recording for Star Wars and Empire strikes back when they released first time in 1977 and 1980. I don't know why it has been decline ever since. At that time each movie released its sound track in two album with different and excellent arrangement. I believe this is a perfect arrangement and better in term of music listening. Im just hoping releasing them again with finest remastering.
A fountain of youth for a Star Wars geek.......2007-02-13
It has been a long time since I last dared to take out my old Star Wars LP, with its well remembered skips and pops. Now, thanks to the Boxed set of the Star Wars Trilogy, I can listen to it again as it was intended to sound, and as often as I like. It is like revisiting an old friend, but there are differences: for one, there is more music, and it has been restored to its actual running order, unlike the LP which cut and spliced a bit to create rounder, perhaps more balanced listening. But for a true fan of the films, it is deeply satisfying to hear the score in its proper order and entirety, even if at times it can ramble on or shift more suddenly than a typical symphonic work. That being said, John Williams is a master at composing for film, so that even taken out of context it is beautifully listenable.
The major drawback to the boxed set is the complete lack of liner notes or any kind of commentary--one of my favorite features of the old LP were the inserted notes. So much thought went into the score that it demands commentary. Admittedly, I haven't yet been able to access the "unlock and go" feature on the internet, so perhaps the lack of liner notes on the box is rectified there. Another surprise, given the fact that there is room on the CD's to include more music, alternate takes (and even an extended secret "inner groove" on the first disc), is that in the case of episode 6, music that was added for the new edition of the film is included but not the music it replaced. Admittedly this was the least interesting music in the soundtracks, namely the "pop" music in Jabba's palace and the Ewok's chant at the end, but for the sake of completion, it should also have been included. A minor quibble, and more than made up for by the inclusion of the 20th century fanfare and the second Cantina track.
All-in-all, this boxed set is a must for anyone for whom the original trilogy was a special part of their youth. It will instantly bring you back to that state of wonder when you first saw the films, and on repeated listens it will continue to reveal the genius of John Williams.
This is more of a description of the music than a review for this particular set, really . . ........2006-12-30
A New Hope:
What to say about Star Wars? It's all too known to say very much. But let me just point out a few things, instead. The Main Title track, after the fanfare calms, is quoting 'Mars' from Holst's 'The Planets'. "The Dune Sea of Tatooine" is a tribute to Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring'. The bonus track contains several different takes on the Main Title if you sit around and wait--there is a LOT of silence 'til it starts, but it's fascinating to hear the subtle differences from take to take. With "May the Force Be With You" and "Princess Leia's Theme", we have the beginning of the lovely, melodic leitmotifs we have come to associate with Star Wars music.
The Empire Strikes Back:
Both the best movie and the best soundtrack of the original trilogy, in my opinion. Whether or not you agree about the movie, the music here really is the best, from a professional standpoint and not just an "it's pretty!' one. Three huge things happen in this movie, musically: "Han Solo and the Princess", the love theme which is based on "Princess Leia's Theme"; "Yoda's Theme"; and, last but certainly not least, "The Imperial March". I believe the two biggest, most recognisable themes of the saga are the Main Title theme and "The Imperial March", which was constructed from half-developed "evil" cues from 'A New Hope', and also Chopin's "March funèbre, Lento" from 'Piano Sonata No.2 in B flat minor' (trust me, you know it).
The Return of the Jedi:
The only new themes (there are plentiful delectable motifs) to come out of this movie are "Parade of the Ewoks", which nearly succeeds in making the Ewoks themselves cute, and the extremely luscious "Luke and Leia". "The Emperor's Theme", introduced in 'Empire Strikes Back', is emphasised, and voices lace over the epic duel between father and son (not nearly as stimulating as the music or the fight scenes of the prequel trilogy). It is true, there are some slightly embarrassing tracks ("Threepio's Bedtime Story", "Jedi Rocks"), but somehow all is set right by the power of "Victory Celebration" (which evokes much the same in its feeling of somewhat tragic triumph that "Now We Are Free" does in 'Gladiator'). It closes the saga perfectly (and we won't be mentioning the Yub Nub song, thank you very much).
I might also mention that Star Wars themes do wonders for hearing intervals. And that knowing the intervals make relationships between themes throughout the saga that much more interesting.
You can feel the Force around you........2006-08-31
I have never owned these before and I bought them for a SW Themed Party but constantly play them, if you are a fan these are a must own, especially since they include both end tracks for EP.6 the Ewok OE and the new Calypso one from the SE. Finally all of these Disc's are CD Text Capabile.
Quality could be better.......2006-02-14
This is the best way to get the soundtrack collection of the three original films. With some minor exceptions, the tracks are in the same sequence of the films so you can follow the story unfold the same as watching the movies.
The sound quality does leave a bit to be desired overall. Granted there is only so much that can be done from the original recordings, but it seems as though they tried to over-remaster most of the tracks and did not do enough with others. This has left many of the scores sounding thin, bright and shallow. For the price of this boxed set, I would have expected a little bit more time put into making this collection sound better. Ideally, having the entire saga re-performed would have likely offered the best solution for audio purists, though likely not capatured exactly the same feel as the original performance.
Essentially, this boxed set is a trade off between having the original scores of Episodes 4 through 6 and sacrificing the overall sound quality that a John Williams performance deserves.
For a point of reference, my sound system is a B&W and McIntosh combination with the speakers being the same model as what was used in nearly all recording studios at the time of the later half of these films.

Don't think Brent Holmes' songs and CDs are only for kids. Adults love them, too! Gets me in a great mood singing along on the way to work!

We have three of the many CD's done by Brent Holmes. These CD's are not only entertaining for children but also educational! A certain must have for families that love to listen to music!
Great for Long Car Trips.......2004-11-16
OK, I'm a step-mom and not all of my gifts to the kids are exactly hits, but I bought this album and the "Moose Tunes for Kids" while the boys (7-year old twins), Dad and I were on vacation this summer and they were both instant hits. The boys wanted to hear both albums over and over again on the 10 hour ride home. Fortunately the songs appeal the adults as well as kids and so Dad and I were not going crazy after the 10 hour concert. They were such a hit that Mom asked to borrow them when the boy went on vactions with her latter that summer.
Beary fun for Everyone!.......2004-10-07
Our whole family loves this CD. We listen to it all the time. Everyone from little ones to adults will love the fun and silly songs. And it is also very infomative, you just can't help but learn something new about bears. My husband has even played it for his friends when they have been on hunting or fishing trips and they find that they can't help singing bear tunes!

Birdman & Birdman Jr........2007-07-20
Like Father, Like SOn is the best collaberation hip hop album of 2006, I'm only sayin that cuz it is the only hip hop collaberation albu of 2006. I agree that 70% of South muzik is starting to exploit Hip Hop these dayz. You have South Rappers like Jibbs, Mike JOnes, Bow Wow, Yung Joc, Young Jeezy, the list can go on. But then again you still have good rap influences from the south like UGK, OutKast, Ludacris, Scarface and more. This Album however is not exactly a bad one but is definetley not the best. Lil Wayne is one of the catchiest rappers out there, he has cool wordplay and catchy lines like for example-
"I got a lot of loot and I ain't lookin' for a lady
And you can never pay me I'm from Uptown baby
I wake up in the mornin' take a piss and wash my hands
Take a knee and thank the Man then get back to the money"
I do kind of think that Lil Wayne is one of the better rappers out there but difinetly not an EMCEE. Get that straight, a true emcee are at the likes of KRS-ONE, NAS, WU-Tang CLAN. But Still I got to admit that this album is pretty good.
The downfall of this album is the agonizing repetetiveness throughout the album, ever f***in track is basically the same with just a different beat. Its always about money with these people, it really makes you wanna listen to something else most of the time. Birdman says the "N" word over 1000 times, its pretty sad that he and Lil Wayne can't expand there vocabulary. This is why I appreciate Chamillionaire for doin that No cussin album hes comin out with. But nontheless if your a fan of Cash Money then this is must buy, note that Minnie Fresh didn't do any production on this album. My Favorite Tracks are "Stuntin' Like My Daddy", "You Ain't Know", "Leather So Soft".
The best album ever made, period........2007-05-22
I'm speechless. I've always found Lil Wayne by far the best of the 235 people that put Lil in front of their name. He's the biggest of the Lil. Chew on that for a minute. I never realized that he was birdman's dad. By the title of the album being like father, like son, I can only assume Lil Wayne is birdman's dad. That is awesome. I knew Little Wayne was trill, but to make a kid when he was like 4 is just off the hook.
Where do you start with the music on this thing. There is some cussing, some beats and lyrics about money. Try finding that on another rap album out today. If you do, you'll waste a lot of time because other rappers are too busy talking about macro economics and 3rd world debt relief. Birdguy and Little Wayne talk about what is real and I like that. I went out Friday night and we were bumpin some Tiny Wayne on the sound system with our pet kangaroo, Tibblies, in the back seat. You roll strong when you roll with a roo. We spent the night drinking 64's of Hurrican Malt liquor, which is my favorite when I want to get my swerve on. I ended arguing with some woman about whether Nelson Mandela or Lil Wayne have had more impact on the world. Mandela is cool and all, but could he record a track like, "You ain't know"? I'll answer that for you, no he couldn't. He would probably try to use actual words and grammar and ruin it. Leave the block rockin to Birddude and Teenie Wayne.
great album.......2007-05-16
lil wayne is the greatest rapper alive and i dont give a crap what nobody saids so is juelzsantana jim jones snoop dogg ti birdman and other i forgot to mention they are great rapper and so is the blacxkeyedpeas bump shop boys and the g-unit crew is okay
What are all of you talking about! This Album sucks!.......2007-05-05
This album is Horrible. The Diry South is DESTROYING hip hop. Im glad I only "Bought" this cd. I hate the dirty south rap. All of the dirty south rappers are the same. They all rap about they're stupid Platinum teeth, beamers with the rims that are really big and look stupid (they think it looks gangsta) . There is no skill in any of that dirty south rap. They keep repeating themselves the whole time. I love hip hop/Rap but The Dirty South is Destroying it. I wish we could bring back the old stuff like-
HOuse OF Pain
Cypress Hill
Funkdoobiest
Lords of the underground
Wu tang
Tupac
Biggie
The Pharcyde
NWA
Public Enemy
and Alot More.
I "Bought" this album because i figured why not, its a free album. I tried to listen to it and like it but i couldnt. The beats SUck and the lyrics Suck. PERIOD. Dont buy. The best move would be to keep the dirty south rappers out of the Rap game. Period!
Man, why did I buy this album for?.......2007-01-23
I'm so sorry that I bought this album. Of course, the hit single "stuntin like my daddy" was jammin!! But, I thought I could get more into the rest of the album. I just could not do it. I will admit though. I do like Birdman's swagger. If Lil wayne could use more of his own rhymes instead of others, then he would be better. I got tired of hearing lil wayne's annoying delivery on a lot of the songs. I got Birdman's last album and I liked more songs on that one than this one. Save your money and buy something better, like that Trae's Restless album. Now, that's much better.

Following hot on the heels of their enormously successful collaboration for The Lion King, Elton John and Tim Rice have once again culled their talents to create another Disney contemporary musical, based this time on Verdi's opera Aida. The album, recorded by some of the biggest talents of pop, country, and R&B, features songs from the stage show, which recounts the well-known tale of a love triangle further complicated by slavery, royalty, and the armed forces. John duets to great effect with country crooner LeAnn Rimes, the enchanting Janet Jackson, and the lovely Lulu of To Sir with Love fame. Lush and lively, the soundtrack hits a hoot of a (decidedly not highbrow) high point with the infectious pop of the Spice Girls warbling the merits of undergarments on "My Strongest Suit" ("Always wear underwear/Anytime, anywhere"). Lenny Kravitz funks things up with "Like Father Like Son." Shania Twain's husky emoting makes a fine pop ballad of the brief "Amneris' Letter." "Not Me" chronicles the goodness of love as Boyz II Men coo dreamily, their harmonies nestling into John's sumptuous score. --Paige La Grone

I would order from you again........2007-01-27
Product arrived in a timely manner in new condition, still wrapped in plastic. Thank you.
Loved it!!!.......2006-09-07
I'm so impressed with this album for several different reasons.
3) It's Elton John
2) I loved all but two of the songs!
1) I usually hate the original broadway cast albums and movie soundtracks. They don't do the songs justice. They usually have chopped up versions of the songs and include unnecessary dialouge.
I'd love to see every musical (broadway or movie) done this way!
I appreciate the b'way versions, but I don't want to listen to them in my car...
good variety and feeling.......2004-06-24
This is a very good CD. "Written in the Stars" is an extremely emotional song, and it is my favorite on the album. I would like to see the show on Broadway, but I have to say I don't think it can be too much better than this CD
Sour Concepts.......2003-06-29
It takes so much to try to get a musical to make its way upon Broadway. Sometimes you really need to understand how to make it really happen within the passion of the storytelling music. In that case with Elton John, he nearly seemed to make it with Aida. While the music for Broadway always seems to have at least something completely mgaical and a dash of power in it. Sometimes, you really need to understand it, to make it happen, and others don't see it from the start. Although Elton John has had great music for years, at least once in a era, something goes a little flat.
The 1999 Aida, was not a studio album from Elton, but a preview from what was happen on Broadway. The various artists record contains so many different artists in the record including Tina Turner, Boyz II Men, Dru Hill, and the upcoming Heather Headley. Before Heather made it as a singer, she made it right here in Aida, on this record. The only decent song that was a hit was Written In The Stars, which Elton performed with Leann Rimes. The song was also the last song Elton cracked Billboard's Top 40. Still, there really wasn't a lot of enjoyment within most of the record, and it fell into a sleeper. Considering that Elton is already planning on making another smash musical on Broadway, hopefully he'll do better with the concept record.
When it does come to making it on Broadway, it isn't really anything exciting, unless it truly is a smash, and Aida is a smash on Broadway, just not the record. Still, if you're a die hard fan of Aida, buy this record. Otherwise, it could be a hitless miss.
Living Elaborate Lives..........2002-11-02
Aida was Elton John and Tim Rice's baby, providing a concept soundtrack album before even setting the stage on fire, the tracks are generally sweeping show ballads.
Elton teams up with several lovely and talented ladies, in LeAnn Rimes, Janet Jackson, and Lulu. "Written In The Stars" could be a vocal gladiator battle, the way LeAnn and Elton sing it. Janet and Lulu prove themselves as more mellow duet partners.
Kelly Price makes "The Gods Love Nubia" her own, the song is tied up in soul with her voice being smooth as silk. The far too short "Amneris' Letter" shows off Shania Twain's voice to perfection also. Pop culture phenomenon the Spice Girls turn "My Strongest Suit" into the most obvious pop stomper of this set. Another strong point is Heather Headley's solo "Elaborate Lives". A rich ballad, Headley recently embarked on an R&B singing career with the track "He Is". The legendary Tina Turner provides a fiery perfomance, her track being the powerful "Easy As Life" with Angelique Kidjo.
Duds are also present, Sting and Dru Hill's tracks are admitted stinkers. James Taylor, Boyz II Men, Sherie Scott, and Lenny Kravitz also deliver perfomances on the album. This album is well put together, with strong tunes and a short-list of superstars presenting them. A fun buy.

Kids love these and they're educational too!.......2007-01-07
These are the cutest cds. Even my husband and I like listening to them. We got them for our 9 month old granddaughter and her Mom said she already likes to listen to them. They are also very educational.
High Quality, Clever & A Whole Lot of Fun For Kids.......2006-05-18
We purchased this very fun CD at Yellowstone National Park and played it while on vacation and seeing real moose. Years later my kids still enjoy listening to its clever and fun music. We are now buying some copies to give as gifts. It is perfect for ages 1-11. The CD has a great sound and the songs are catchy and uplifting and a whole lot of fun.
Should have stuck with Cow Tunes for Kids.......2005-12-30
I feel like I wasted my money on Moose Tunes for Kids. My family loves Cow Tunes for Kids, so I thought I'd try another Brent Holmes CD. I made the wrong choice with Moose Tunes. The songs are sung by "Brent Homes & Marty the Moose." The moose voice is very annoying. My son (just turned 4) told me that he likes the songs, but he doesn't like the moose (voice). You wouldn't believe how just one line sung in that moose voice can ruin a song. Also, the songs aren't as peppy as the ones on Cow Tunes. From the first time we heard Cow Tunes for Kids, my sons (then ages 1 and 3) danced around the room to the happy, catchy tunes. I just got the Moose CD, and I'm sorry to say I'm disappointed. With Moose Tunes, my 18-month-old hasn't smiled at the tunes yet and my 4-year-old has already asked on more than one track, "Mommy, when will this song be over?"
Two thumbs up! Make that four!.......2005-12-16
I bought this CD (Moose Tunes) after watching (and then joining in) as my two boys (1 and 3) danced around the room to a borrowed Cow Tunes CD.
As soon as Moose Tunes arrived (which was very quickly, as always from Amazon.com), my 3 year old son put it in the CD player and started smiling! He is a very literal kid, so he questions me on the lyrics often and I just have to say, "It's not real, it's just a silly song!" But we love it!
This CD would make a great gift for any age kid and for any occasion!
The only time it comes out of the CD player in the house is to transfer to the CD player in the car. Two thumbs up--my two boys' thumbs! And I'll add mine and my husband's too!
How many songs can there be about moose???.......2005-09-11
When I first saw this CD in the Yellowstone Park gift shop, I could not believe there would be enough moose material to fill a whole CD. The title that sold me was "I'm a moose and I love my lips". Our family is a little older than the other reviewers. Our three children that we took on our nine state, 21 day road trip are 9, 11, and 15. We love the zany and this CD supplied the necessary goofiness to keep us singing and giggling for hours! The tunes are catchy and the lyrics are clever. I am looking over his other selections to see which I want to buy next!

Steven Spielberg veered from the futuristic sci-fi flirtations of A.I. and Minority Report with this brisk, stylish period take on the career of teen con-man extraordinaire Frank Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his dogged G-man pursuer/de facto extended family member Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks). As always, the director's musical collaborator is John Williams, and the scoring legend uses the occasion of their 20th collaboration as a rewarding musical journey back to the days when he was known as Johnny Williams, ambitious young pianist for Henry Mancini on such early jazz scores as Peter Gunn. Informed by a half-century of subsequent achievement, Williams's return to the jazz idiom of his youth yields a smart, nervous score that evokes more than mere nostalgia. But with Dan Higgins's moody sax often leading the way, the veteran composer's work here seems more evocative reinvention than revisitation, yet another tribute to his uncanny ability to make any idiom his own. A handful of pop standards (including Sinatra's "Come Fly with Me," Getz and Gilberto's "Girl from Ipanema," "The Christmas Song" by Nat "King" Cole) deftly color both period and plot, but, as always, it's Williams who provides Spielberg's masterful imagery with its musical life's blood. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Outstanding!.......2007-04-04
John Williams does it again! This man is the best composer I have ever heard! The music fits the scenes in the movies so unblievably well that you will wonder how one man was creative enough to think of it!
Johnny's "Lost in Soundtrack".......2006-08-25
The opening theme is the coolest ever. It has that jazzy, suspenseful, space-age groove that takes you back to the early 60's era portrayed in the movie.
Once I discovered it was done by John Williams, things started to click. The arrangement and themes actually go back way before he was famous. Back to an era he may not want you to remember. Back when he was known simply as "Johnny" Williams.
First, notice the melody and pace of the creeping marimbas and bubbling flutes. Next, catch a repeat of the old Sci-Fi, TV Fairy-Tale known as "LOST IN SPACE." Listen for the incidental, suspense-scene music throughout. Did you catch the composer's name in the credits?
Bingo!(and still very cool)!
Excellent Mix of Jazz and Emotion.......2006-02-20
This is brilliant. You will have this theme ringing in your ears for a month after listening. I have collected around 25 to 30 J. Williams scores. This is wonderful like the rest...
John Williams, Film Scores and Jazz all done to Perfection........2004-10-15
I loved the movie and now the music. I think it is one of the most original soundtracks that John Williams has ever done. The Jazz in this music is so peaceful and lighthearted. This soundtrack should be on any music lovers shelf. In my book, this music is a classic film score.
A Great "Catch".......2004-10-04
Steven Spielberg's 2002 film CATCH ME IF YOU CAN was a breezy crime caper movie based on the true-life story of Frank Abagnale, a real "phony" who nevertheless embarked on a three-year spree of writing bum checks adding up to millions during the 1960s. To capture that era's swinging mores, he had his great friend John Williams design one of that composer's quirkiest scores ever--very jazzy and redolent of the scores Henry Mancini devised for the "Pink Panther" films and Stanley Donen's 1963 classic CHARADE.
But for Williams, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN was very much a homecoming, as he started out in jazz and even worked quite closely with Mancini early on in Hollywood. The genuine jauntiness and mystery of the film's main musical motifs are balanced by moments of warm but not mushy sentimentality, and hit songs of that period by Frank Sinatra, Stan Getz, and Dusty Springfield round out this appealing collection.
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN was such an offbeat project for a composer and a director known for boldness, but it served as a challenge that Spielberg aced on the screen and Williams aced in his music. It is highly recommended for its sheer audacity in going back to the past and still remaining relevant to today.

Customer Reviews:
The best Star Wars soundtrack.......2007-03-02
While all the Star Wars films have extraordinary soundtracks, Return of the Jedi stands slightly above it's peers in terms of music. John Williams really went all out for the finale! The attack on the Death Star, Luke's final duel with Darth Vader, the battle on the Endor moon, Vader's funeral and celebration make this one incredible CD.
Not 100% Complete!.......2006-12-24
I love this soundtrack but - This release does not contain the "jam" that the Max Reebo Band plays while Chewbacca is being led to his jail cell......I wonder why?
A Final and Astounding Work of Art from John Williams.......2005-09-23
As always, John williams brings masterful composing to the Star Wars movie screen. The sweeping and spine-tingling score will leave you breathless and stick with you for years.
It starts out a little slow, but of course all the classic themes are present. The action picks up at track 7 (Dsic 1) The Pit of Carkoon/Sail Barge Assault. The moving track 8 will announce the arrival of the infamous emperor with deep male voices and dark themes, then we are swept back to Degobah for Luke's final meeting with Yoda in slow trumpets proclaiming Yoda's news and final announcement to Luke, finally we meet Obi Wan once again, whose conversation with Luke reveals stunning news with the trumpet theme of Skywalker and the warm, comforting violins. Comical additions such as Jabba's baroque recital and Jedi Rocks close the first disc with a slower pace, almost as if it were intermission.
Disc 2 opens with the playful Parade of Ewoks, a new theme created to portray the cute but deadly inhabitants of Endor, played on flutes, trumpets, and a variety of other instruments. Next we are introduced to the change in Luke and Leia's relationship with a slow flute and violin piece showing how strong their bond has become.
Track 3, Brother and Sister, Father and Son, finds the Skywalker theme as Luke tells Leia a wonderful secret, which transitions into their new theme. The Emperor's throne room conveys the serious danger of our heros in deep male voices and sweeping music. The three battle pieces are, of course, wonderful, but by far the best part is the piece matching when the rebels prepare to charge the Death Star in a great instrumental piece.
Last is the calm after the storm, the two tracks that are by far my favorite from this soundtrack. First is track 9, Leia's News/Light of the Force, in which we begin with a sweet, grand piece with Leia's theme and Luke & Leia's theme mingling in.
Next comes possibly the most moving piece of music created by John Williams as a lone trumpet breaks from the silence, playing the Skywalker theme, and it culminates in a tremendous and shattering climax, which settles back into the trumpet skywalker theme, as if in final send of, as Luke watches the man he had feared, redeemed, finally at peace.
Lastly, except for the extra tracks, we finish with the Ewoke celebration on endor, an amazing and wonderful piece of pure joy and revelation as we close upon our heros, all having found what they were looking for in the end, and see the final gathering of old friends.
Without a doubt, this is a must-have for soundtrack afficionados!
John Williams knows music.......2005-09-09
Okay, so this isn't my favorite star wars CD but it's good. I'm still hooked on Ep III soundtrack so that's why I haven't broken this one with repeated use. Still, ROTJ was an awesome movie and the soundtrack is responsible for much of the moodsetting. Happy or sad, the tune tells all.
Is it the best?.......2005-06-25
This soundtrack CD is probably one of the best John Williams has ever had and the best among all the star wars CD soundtracks of the classic ones. The songs are much more fun and lively. John Williams knows how to translate the music so well that it can blend in perfectly with the movie.
The compositions are really magnificent and the dynamics are really great. These are really among the unique ones. Very special indeed.
Some of the great songs are Jedi rocks (The part in the movie where Jabba The Hut is entertained by the new cantina band. The song is very lively and can really make your mood a lot better. Another one is the Victory Celebration (The last part where the death star was destroyed and they went to Endor to Celebrate.) The song really captured the mood of celebration. I loved it.
