About the Artist
Guitarist-composer Sanjay Mishra has been described as a brilliant and innovative musician. Born in India and residing in the United States, Sanjay plays with an eclecticism well suited to his multicultural background. After completing his studies at The Peabody Conservatory of Music, he began composing music that combined Eastern and Western influences. In an interview with The Washington Post, he explains

"I come from a tradition that has a lot of improvisation. Sometimes Western classical music can seem a little rigid, I had to find some middle ground."

Sanjay came to public acclaim with his highly praised recording "BLUE INCANTATION" (RYKODISC/AKAR 1995) with Grateful Dead guitarist JERRY GARCIA. This was one of Mr. Garcia's rare side collaborations in his later years and among his last musical efforts.

Sanjay's music can be heard on his latest recording RESCUE released May, 2000. Joining Sanjay are renowned percussionists

DENNIS CHAMBERS on drums and SAMIR CHATTERJEE on the tabla (Indian drum).

Other recordings include the soundtrack to the award winning film "PORT DJEMA." ("BEST ORIGINAL SCORE" HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL1997, "SILVER BEAR" BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL.) Produced by Paradis FilmsParis, France. Soundtrack released on POLYGRAM-PHILIPS (1997), and "THE CROSSING." (Akar-1993) Sanjay has also appeared on many compilations such as DEEP ORIENT from Melodia Records.

These four CDs offer instrumentals that combine global musical influences in a style that has earned Sanjay praise from rock, pop, folk, jazz, and world music audiences.

Denis Leary's firefighter series, Rescue Me, is characterized by its delicate balance of brawn and sentiment. This CD, which collects tunes that have appeared in the first three seasons, reflects that balance, careening from the full-on rock & roll of the Von Bondies (their "C'mon C'mon" is the show's theme) and the Subways ("Oh Yeah") to the pensive, rootsy vibe of Ray Lamontagne ("All the Wild Horses") and the Devlins ("Love Is Blindness"). In his informative liner notes, Leary (who coproduces and cowrites the show in addition to starring in it) explains how he and his crew pick the songs they use. He doesn't really talk about how the songs reflect the show's take on masculinity, but the selections speak for themselves: There may be wives, girlfriends, or daughters, but Rescue Me is essentially about men. Which is perfectly fine, though it may explain why those who like to hear female voices once in a while (the Subways' bassist, Charlotte Cooper, does pipe up) are advised to look elsewhere (at one of the L Word soundtracks maybe?). --Elisabeth Vincentelli

2 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected.......2007-07-19

I love the television series RESCUE ME, and I thought this would be the type of mellow, melancholy music heard at the closing of episodes. Instead it was mostly hard rock, and not so pleasing. I gave my copy away.

3 out of 5 stars Doesn't rock.......2007-03-09

Outside of the main title (C'mon, C'mon), this CD is nothing but slow whiny depressing stuff. Was expecting a little more aggressive music. Oh, well, guess that's why IPODs sell great.

5 out of 5 stars Great Mix of Tunes.......2007-01-05

Loved the TV series and always made notes of the music. Now the soundtrack is
out with a superb choice of songs. It's in my car; great traveling music!

4 out of 5 stars Overall, pretty good........2007-01-03

I gotta say, just about every song on this CD is catchy. I loved hearing most of these songs on the show, but getting to hear them in their full length is even better. Whoever picked these tracks has a good ear for what fits with the mood of the show. That said, this is one of those CDs that's good to pick up and play now and again, but can get old pretty fast. Still worth the money though.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best soundtracks ever.......2006-11-10

I love the show, and the soundtrack is just as good. Like the show, the music is a little dark, but great.

Product Description

Rescue Dawn stars Christian Bale and Steve Zahn. It is written and directed by Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man), based on his acclaimed 1997 documentary, Little Dieter Needs to Fly. The film will be released by MGM Pictures on July 4, 2007.
Rescue Dawn recounts the true story of German-born Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale), who dreamed of flying. After making his way to the United States, he joined the Navy during the Vietnam War and became a pilot. He was shot down over Laos and captured, but eventually organized a daring escape with a small band of captives.
Composer Klaus Badelt began his musical career writing and producing music for dozens of movies and commercials in his native Germany. Since moving to California at the invitation of Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer, he has regularly collaborated with Zimmer and other composers, and penned his own projects, including Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars One of Badelt's best!.......2007-07-16

This score is one of the best Badelt has ever composed. This score, even more so than his recent "The Promise," proves that he has his own immense talent beyond his work with Hans Zimmer. This work is quiet and subtle, rich and beautiful, mournful and hopeful. It's centered around a generously lengthy theme featured in the opening track, one that comes to a double climax in "Rescue." The song, unlike many on soundtracks, is well-integrated with the score and doesn't interrupt the listening experience.

If you like Badelt, or if you like scores like "The Thin Red Line", then "Rescue Dawn" is a must-have.

John Williams' lovely and moving score for the sixth Star Wars film brings thirty years of collaborating on George Lucas' beyond-popular intergalactic franchise to a close. (Is this really the end of Star Wars? Can't Lucas and Williams work together on a prequel to these prequels? Let us hope so, and that Jar Jar Binks is nowhere near it.) As this music accompanies the most exciting Star Wars film in many a moon, the soundtrack itself is more fun, more evil, more nasty and bumpy. Many of the heroic, anthemic themes woven throughout Episode Three: Revenge of the Sith will necessarily be familiar to any fan of the series, from the "Imperial March" to the main theme. It's remarkable how stirring the latter can be, no matter how many times you've heard it, and even for those who do not have all their money invested in S.W. memorabilia. There is a lot of new music here, and the lush, extensive range of both Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra is on display, most notably in the menacing, percolating "General Grievous" and the rousing "New Hope" end theme. --Mike McGonigal

5 out of 5 stars Star Wars: A Musical Journey (2005) (V).......2007-06-21

product: Star Wars: A Musical Journey (2005) (V), included as bonus disc in Episode III soundtrack.

The bonus dvd with this soundtrack was the reason I purchased. I enjoy film soundtracks, and science fiction, but this dvd was a real highlight for me. I got the soundtrack cd out of the local library. The cd was missing from the case, but I found this wonderful dvd instead that I went out to purchase later.

With optional segments of dialog from Ian McDiarmid, this film is a stunning visual and musical overview of the full epic story of episodes I-VI of Star Wars. For those of us who felt that eps. IV-VI fell short of our expectations, this film presents them well as parts of the whole story. The Musical Journey also stands as a summary of the entire SW opus for someone who is not familiar with the Star Wars characters and plot. Highly recommended.

Options: no subtitles or other options.

4 out of 5 stars Not one of his bests, but very close.......2007-05-21

The Episode III soundtrack is very good. Not great, but very, very good. You can tell that Williams is getting old, but he still manages to weave together a very memorable score.

My favorite tracks are "Battle of the Heroes," "Anakin's Betrayal," Palpatine's teachings, "Anakin vs. Obi-Wan," and the "Immolation Scene."
The others are very good as well, but these are especially nice. "Battle of the Heroes" is Dual of the Fates for Revenge of the Sith. "Anakin's Betrayal" is a very sad track that is, in my opinion, one of William's most powerful pieces. "Palpatine's Teachings" is really, really neat. It's very dark and moody, a perfect piece for the evil emperor. The only weird thing is the end. "Anakin vs. Obi-Wan" is the action piece that plays during the battles of Anakin and Obi-Wan, and Yoda and the Emperor. Finally, "The Immolation Scene" is another sad piece, even more so than "Anakin's Betrayal."

Although I really like this CD, there are some things that are missing (as usual). First, the whole sequence where the droids are looking for Obi-Wan after he was shot. You see Obi-Wan in his ship with Senator Organa on the Hologram (or whatever it is), and Obi-Wan says that his clones turned on him. That was some pretty awesome music that OF COURSE was left out of the CD. Then there was Dual of the Fates in the movie, but completely absent from the CD. And probably the most annoying was that whole piece of music before Obi-Wan and Anakin fight. It was so touching and sad and I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY LEFT IT OUT! Absolutely amazing. Also, did anyone notice that some little bits were cut out? For example, in Anakin vs. Obi Wan, they cut out about a second or two of choir. What?! What the heck is with that? It's when Anakin is running on the long thing and jumps on the droid on the lava. Also, there was some pretty cool drumming when you see Yoda and the Emperor fighting, and you can see the whole stadium (the big room). There's also drumming in "Enter Lord Vader" that is muted in the soundtrack.

Oh well...if I'm going to collect movie scores, I'm going to have to get used to the fact that in almost all cases there's not going to be every bit of music. I've experienced this in both Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park I (there was very little left out on this score), and almost everything else. At the moment, I'm just waiting for the 22nd, for the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 soundtrack. It's gonna be amazing.

5 out of 5 stars John Williams' finest work.......2007-04-20

There is little more I can say that hasn't already been said about the soundtrack to Episode 3, especially what Amazon contributor Dan Mohr wrote in his review of the soundtrack on 2/2/2006. His review captured almost all the thoughts, feelings, and emotions I had when I first listened to the soundtrack, and was, IMO, the best review of John Williams' greatest masterpiece.

Having said that, I will say that few soundtracks have ever so perfectly captured the underlying emotional currents of their respective movie; in the case of ROTS, the contemporaneous tragedies of Anakin's fall to the Dark Side, the extermination of the Jedi, and the rise of the oppressive Empire. The listener is confronted with the depth and totality of the evil that has beset the entire galaxy to a degree that the film could not reach in only 2 hours.

Bravo, Dan Mohr, and BRAVO John Williams!

5 out of 5 stars A Great Conclusion to the Prequel Trilogy.......2007-04-07

This is a great work of art. I rank it 4th among Star Wars soundtracks after A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and The Phantom Menace. I had a hard deciding which I thought was better, The Phantom Meance or Revenge of the Sith, but I decided that The Phantom Menace lays the foundation for so much that is in this soundtrack and is thus the more masterful work. But that doesn't mean that this score still isn't great. Every piece is a thrill to listen to and pace never lets up. "Battle of the Hereos" is an amazing piece and the rendition of the "Funeral Theme" from Episoded I captures the film's tragety magnificently. Also I do not think John Williams could have portrayed the Jedi's extinction more perfectly than he did in "Anakin's Betrayal". This is without a doubt the best score of 2005 and one of the best of the decade.

2 out of 5 stars Williams is slumming it.......2007-04-01

Williams's score for Revenge of the Sith is almost entirely overbearing, lacking any emotional subtlety. The music is overcomplicated and even a bit confusing, especially in the tracks that correspond to action sequences in the movie. His overuse of choral tracks and vocals is too bombastic and irritating to be listened to without the explosions and laser blasts of the soundtrack to soften them. (Yes, this music is actually softened by the sounds of warfare.) Worst of all, much of the music has simply been lifted from earlier scores. At times his self-imitation was so blatant that I actually wondered whether the editor who had complied this score had made a mistake and I was listening to The Empire Strikes Back or A New Hope. Also suffers from not including the entire score, in some cases cutting out musical segues in obvious and awkward ways.

5 out of 5 stars Emotional Get Up and Go.......2007-07-08

The Rolling Stones have never been afraid to experiment- with music that is. This becomes wonderfully obvious on a turn-of-a-decade album that at this point in their already hyped career had one either jumping on or off their tumultuous band wagon. C'mon, you either loved or loathed Emotional Rescue. There was no in between. The quirky title track proved how the Rolling Stones could put out anything and come out with flying colors. The song has it all; a disco flare with a touch of funk, daring vocals, impeccable saxaphone, an infectous bass line, and Charlie playing his drums in a tempo decidedly unique and interesting. Even the lyrics are slightly impressive. Jaggars ability to sing high, low, and everywhere in between, including a spoken verse, in the same song is unprecedented. My favorite verse being, "yeah remember the night, cryin'...". 'All About You' is the only mediocre track on an otherwise delightful record,full of surprises, including one of their best tunes,'She's So Cold'. If 'Summer Romance' doesn't make you feel good (there's that aggressive bass again)then I'm not sure what the Stones can do for you. Emotional Rescue may not be their best album, but it's certainly the most fun.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Stuff... 4.5 Stars.......2007-07-08

This was the first Stones album I bought back in '80 at Sears, along with Big Hits - High Tide And Green Grass - on LP - so this album has somewhat a special place in my X-rayed thermo heart.

Pretty decadent album for a 10-year old to listen to on the family Zenith stereo in the basement. Obviously it's not one of the most serious Stones ablums; I think their method of recording in those days was to first, reconvene, then load up on drugs and alka, and then get about he process of recording. Thus, we get a party album with a few heartfelt moments here and there.

I think the album suffers most from the sequencing. Whoever gave the master tapes ordered the songs like he was a cokehead with a plane to catch. Literally, with the exception of the last song, the album seems like the ordering was decided by tossing the titles into the air and seeing where they fell. Unlike Tatto You, which would follow, the song order seems to make no sense whatsoever, so it leaves the listener confused and uncaring, emotionless, which, I guess, is where the Stones come to the Rescue.

The title track needs to be the first song. And I thinnk 'She's So Cold' needs to kick off Side 2. 'Dance' is a horrible lead-off track; while a good groover auto-pilot disco-dance song, I think it needs to be buried on the second side, where it can lead the album out at track 09. In retrospect, 'All About You' is one of the very best Keith songs out there.

Here's how I would have ordered the songs (for what it's worth, it still doesn't change what the songs are--they are what they are):

Side One:

Emotional Rescue
Let Me Go
Where The Boys Go
Indian Girl
Down In The Hole

Side Two:

She's So Cold
Send It To Me
Summer Romance
Dance (Pt. 1)
All About You

At the time (1980), I ended up siding with the classic Stones vs. the Emotional Resuce Stones--at least stylistically as a youngster musician (I was learning to play guitar), and took the retro route--getting into HIgh Tide, Green Grass--and the Stones classic '60s and early '70s albums more-- rather than indulging in any of the mid-to-late '70s Stones (I did get Laid In The Shade, and also Some Girls soon after -- I mean, who could resist the die-cut cover of Some Girls? People used to unwrap the Some Girls album in the store--along with LEd Zep III--just to see what the packaging was like). Yep, I found out the way to learn guitar was the earlier Stones (I think that 'Let Me Go' and 'She's So Cold' were the only ones worth figuring out at the time). The next album, Tatto You was actually a good LP for learning guitar; indeed, Tatto You and the Still Life tour gave the Stones way more of a contemporary clout than Emotional Rescue did. Emotional Rescue was really a holding pattern album--an album for the Stones to figure out how to get up out of the hole! They didn't even want to show their faces on the album. It was the strangest thing--the thermo-video imaging images on the cover and giant poster.

At any rate, has there ever been a more casually despondent and depressing song than 'Down In The Hole'?... I think not. That song used to torment me when I was ten. Now I find it's a pretty great blues.

5 out of 5 stars Emotionally Rescued.......2007-05-08

Face it, Emotional Rescue was the last good studio album from the Rolling Stones. Tattoo You was rehashed from early 70s sessions, which might be an irrelevant point because this album was good too, but ER is untarnished by rerun baggage. I am embarrassed to admit that She's So Cold remains one of my favorite songs. Keith's guitar riff and Mick's screaming overwhelm the simplistic lyrics. The radio always goes to 11 for this song. Let Me Go should not work, but it does. Mick sounds like he's delivering these lyrics from a hammock, but the Santa Claus sleighbell background accompanyment just makes you bob your head in traffic. This album does not have a clunker and Mick's voice is still strong on these tracks. Where the Boys All Go is fast and has a nice 'girls chorus' at the end. This album has pop, it has blues, and ...egads...a little disco, but there's enough Glimmer Twins stink on Emotional Rescue to make the tune rise above the generational anomaly.

4 out of 5 stars Old Stones Fan Just Discovered 80s Stuff.......2007-03-30

Probably like a lot people, I stopped buying the Stones LPs after Some Girls. I can't actually say why. Sabbath split, Blondie split, Keith Moon died and the Who may as well have split. John Bonham, ugh. Maybe I thought they'd seen their day. Maybe this LP and their 80s Lps didn't get enough airplay. Maybe I thought I outgrew them. But by this time in 1980, I don't recall having any passion for them anymore. I liked the title cut here. I remember Down in the Hole as a great b-side on the juke box. Still no desire to hear the album. Recently I purchased all five 80s CDs, Emotional, Tattoo, Dirty Work, Undercover and Steel Wheels. Put all five in the CD shuffle and I heard Stones I didn't know existed. It was like discovering them all over again 20 and more years later. If like a lot of people, you gave up on the Stones in the 70s. Check this stuff out. It's a new experience. I actually like it all better than Goatshead-to-Some Girls era.

5 out of 5 stars I thought the other reveiwers over rated this.......2007-03-25

This is not Some Girls but it really holds up. Not having heard this in 20 or so years, I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. Not Mick and the boys best effort but worth having in your collection especially if you are a Stones fan like me.

5 out of 5 stars A Music Score Benchmark.......2006-07-15

This soundtrack is one of my continuing favorites. I tell you that for film scores, this one sets the bar pretty high. Since this soundtrack was released, I have personally used this one as the benchmark test for any new stereo equipment I have purchased. The spectrum of sound included, in the second track in particular, will test the speakers of a new sound system better than many test disks that I've seen. The sound is able to pull you into your mental review of the film more effectively than most other soundtracks out there, with certain exceptions of course. This soundtrack is overall that which many scores fail to be, a musical painting of the film, not just filler music. This is a memorable disk for a memorable film.

3 out of 5 stars Good sound, but themes are redundant.......2005-08-06

I enjoy this CD very much. The music has a sweeping charm and romantisicm to it. My only problem is that this score pretty much consists of two themes, the Rocketeer Theme and Jenny's theme, played over and over again. There's nothing wrong with the two themes, on the contrary they are both very enjoyable, but the CD simply needs more variety.

On a different note, the Cole Porter songs are wonderful for anyone who enjoys his music, and the singer has a sultry voice that's perfect for the selection.

5 out of 5 stars Heroic images.......2004-10-16

Superman and Batman two heroes who get all the movies, toys, cartoons, etc... however with the Rocketeer we can start a new trend. Th Music by Horner fits right in with Superman by Mr. Williams and surpasses Mr. Elfman's work in Batman. on my Mix for heroes I included the Rocketeer as a tune for the golden Age Green lantern The Current GL has the Last Starfighter The Rocketeer is a thrilling adventure of the likes we just dont see any more The Music by Mr. Horner frames it and matches the spirit of it all so perfectly. you could have the worst day of your life and yet feel like a million bucks after listening to this sweeping score!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Score! One of Horner's best........2004-10-09

Since he wrote the score for Braveheart and won an Oscar for Titanic, James Horner has been among the most disappointing of film composers. His works have been highly derivative and this often makes the listener deride the composer for his lack of so-called talent. The Rocketeer proves te depth of Mr. Horner's talent. It's sweeping melodic main theme is a perfect counterpoint to the theme of flight running throughout the movie. His love theme is a classic old fashioned melody that perfectly fits with the movie and his use of the piano to subtly bring out the movie is totally fantastic. The Rocketeer is among the best of James Horner's works and is one of his most enjoyable scores. His work is truly a masterpiece. While the movie's special effects may seem dated, Horner's score is immortal and shows just how beautiful his music is when he writes original music.

Released during the era of leisure suits and pet rocks, the film Superman: The Movie has aged about as well. But the often-clumsy charms of Richard Donner's cartoonish, hit-and-miss take on the Man of Steel was blessed with at least one superlative artistic effort: John Williams's epic score. The composer's Oscar-nominated music (coming on the heels of Star Wars and Close Encounters) was a wall-to-wall heroic symphony, rife with memorable melodies and ominous arrangements. Almost every original cut on this soundtrack appears in an expanded version, supplemented by nearly a dozen previously unreleased cues and alternate takes. Featuring a deluxe slipcase and extensive, new liner notes, this is the definitive release of one of Maestro Williams's greatest scores. --Jerry McCulley

1 out of 5 stars Original 1978 Recording?.......2007-04-04

FIVE STAR FOR MUSIC. 1 STAR FOR AUDIO. Ok I've wanted this recording for almost 4 years. Now I got it. I am a discerning listener. This soundtrack is not the best quality. Tape hiss is very pronounced. You can tell it's taken directly from a cassette recording. I have other digital recordings of this music. They are miles ahead of this cd. Soundtrack is on the Rhino label. What? Rhino is not known for high fidelity. So it is very deceiving for one to buy a cd thinking it's John Williams conducting on a new recording in 1998 or whenever. It's the actual 1978 recording. Now let me unleash my rage. This thing sounds as if it's recorded with a single microphone in a bathroom, at a truck stop. Yes the music is phenomenal. My favorite track is #2 Krypton. I was hoping to discover some new hidden melodies that I've never heard in previous recording (original 1978). Nope. This IS the 1978 recording. So I will be getting the Debney recording just so I can hear what I'm missing. Love the music. Just can't hear it. ALL OF IT! But cool booklet. I can't listen to a booklet. But I got it. Whoopee.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME! John Williams shows again why he's the master of movie scores.......2006-08-31

After over a year of trying to find a seller of this fine soundtrack, I finally found it! It is high time that the full score was released on CD.
The original soundtrack release from 1978, while still an excellent collection, was sadly lacking in several of the best cues from the film. Most important of these was Track 12 (Disc 1) in which the helicopter crashes on the Daily Planet's roof and dangles precariously above the street. Williams builds on it, introducing Superman's theme into it as Clark Kent runs across the street, then rips open his shirt to reveal the 'S' - the symbol of the House of El - then enters the revolving door & exits as Superman. At the end of this is one of my favorite cues; the Superman theme is played as the Man of Steel appears above Metropolis, flying over the city on the hunt for criminals. 'Crime of the Century' (Track 6, Disc 2) was one of my favorite cues; this one portrayed the missile convoy as it made its way along the freeway, where Luthor staged the accident to get his cronies close enough to sabotage the missiles. There are too many new tracks to list here that should have been included the first time around, just a lack of space precluded this from happening.

5 out of 5 stars Is John Williams Superman???.......2006-08-20

After listening to the CD, John Williams must be Superman. By far, the greatest movie score ever written.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2006-08-10

Other than the over kill of "Can you read my mind", an excellent collection.

5 out of 5 stars Hector, about the liner notes..........2006-07-14

I have the previous edition, and the notes that came with it were nestled next to the CD in a thick booklet (with a cover of Reeve in front of an American flag) that was large enough for the slipcase cover, but too big to fit into the CD case front. Otherwise, the one-sheet cover that came with your soundtrack is identical to the slipcase version.

Despite the phenomenal box-office bounty of Titanic, director James Cameron didn't become King of the World overnight. Indeed, King James helped build his crowd-pleasing reputation on the belated 1986 sequel to Ridley Scott's outer space shockfest, Alien. That sequel, Aliens, was also his first collaboration with film scorer James Horner, whose music contributed in no small way to Titanic's über-success. This expanded edition of Horner's mysterious Aliens score features a sparkling digital transfer and over a half-hour of previously unreleased cues and outtakes. While Horner obviously trades on Jerry Goldsmith's original masterpiece and even Khatchaturian's Gayane Ballet Suite (used so effectively by Kubrick to evoke the loneliness of space in 2001), it's a pastiche that's informed by a masterful use of brooding orchestral colors and percussion flourishes that are by turns ominous and subtle. That element of the composer's evocative formula is further explored in two percussion-only bonus cuts, "Ripley's Rescue" and "Combat Drop." This edition also includes a colorful illustrated booklet with a detailed essay about the film's musical genesis. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding, arguably Horner's best soundtrack.......2006-11-09

In contrary to many reviewers, it is my opinion that Horner really did an admirable job on Aliens. This is a fantastic soundtrack, largely also due to LSO's outstanding performance. There are very few weak moments on this soundtrack, and I - being a percussionist - also like the "percussion only" tracks, which apparently seem to annoy everyone but me. :) Otherwise, lots of great writing and instrumentation, especially in those more atmospheric cues (which also seem to annoy some people, but I think Horner had a good reason for composing that material the way he did).

The film itself (which is for me one of the all-time greatest examples of its genre) would probably lose a lot of its efficiency and impact, were it not for Horner's musical contribution. Yes, he did to some extent reuse some of his earlier scores and yes, he did use some other music too, but in this case, it somehow just makes perfect sense. After Aliens, Horner certainly wrote (and is still able to write) a lot of good music, but I think he'll never be able to write something quite as unspeakably special as Aliens.

Last, but not least, this Varese Sarabande's Deluxe Edition really delivers big time, the score sounds fantastic and its many previously unreleased tracks are a treasure which make every true soundtrack junkie's day. :) Yet another big plus is the accompanying booklet, which could serve as an example of how these things should be done (thank God we still have people like Mike Matessino ...). Warmly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Aliens "Unedited".......2006-05-24

I say "unedited" because this is the score as it was recorded in the studio, not how it was heard in the movie. As the 2 disc edition of Aliens explains, there were difficulties with scoring this film as "both director and composer didn't know how to deal with composers and directors". However, both composer and director have proven to have learned this necessary skill as was seen (and heard) in Cameron/Horner's Titanic.
This is actually quite an accomplishment for having been composed in a matter of weeks (two or three if I remember correctly). The score has some nice quiet, atmospheric cues, as well as some very hard, action cues. The booklet that comes with the CD is a detailed account of the score in relation to the film and how the score was re-edited almost completely to fit with the director's vision of the film. I personally couldn't really tell that this was different from the film, but I haven't methodically compared the two. Very good score for Horner's second ever. Great CD to compliment the music of an incredible film.

5 out of 5 stars A Very Great Re-Issue!.......2004-09-22

I must say that this album is the greatest re-issue up to date. On the previous version(which I also have), looks miniscule when compared to this. Now, this album features tracks and alternate cues previously not available. Outstanding tracks are: Ripley's Rescue(Track 11), Futile Escape(Track 13), Bishop's Countdown(Track 17) and the newly available Queen To Bishop(Track 18). And not to mention that this album has been given the 20-Bit remastering process, restoring back it's true sound quality, with no hints of detail loss. All "Aliens" fans out there, this is one marvellous album not to be missed.

5 out of 5 stars Horner scores a bullseye with this one!.......2004-07-24

James Horner did a great job with this score. People say it sounds like Horner used clips from some of his other scores like Star Treks II and III. Surely that's not a reason to not like this album, I don't think so. Horner mixes the sounds of thrilling, horror and action in this score which was nominated for a 1986 Academy Award. So it sounds like Star Trek II and III, So What! Get this album and enjoy it.

4 out of 5 stars Not That Great.......2003-07-12

I really don't think that this CD is worthy of an upgrade if you have the original release already. Okay, so you can argue that it's 'digitally remastered'. But so what? All the best music was on the first release. The new 'un contains a lot of deleted material, extensive liner notes and bonus 'percussion only' tracks. But it's still not good enough.

Much of this CD is empty 'lurking around' music that excites in no way. The 'Alien Trilogy' release by Cliff Eidelman had the good sense to cut out of this and get straight to the action. The best example of this is 'Futile Escape'. We have to wait thru 3 minutes of NOTHING before the action kicks in. It's great stuff but skipping thru the beginning of the track is an awful chore.

If you know much about James Horner you know that he rips himself off way too much. Commando was a rip-off of his own 48 Hours and Aliens sounds way too much like his score for Star Trek III. Hard to believe this was nominated for 'Best ORIGINAL Score'. Though it is still the best score of the whole Alien Quadrilogy (I guess that's the word for it now). It's better than what Goldsmith offered in the first and superior to anything Goldenthal and Frizzell created for 3 and 4.

But if you have the first release then just stick with it. You may think you're getting more but it has just been bloated up with boring stuff. Plus, what's the deal with these 'percussion only' tracks? How on earth are these supposed to be entertaining? A 'Brass Only' track would have made sense but percussion only? The tracks selected for this treatment were boring before being stripped of all the other instruments.

I do wish Varese Sarabande would do a Deluxe Edition of something more worthy, like the scores to Predator 1 and 2 or the aforementioned Commando (which is available as a Varese Sarabande CD Club release).

Note: If you think you recognize the track 'Revolution and Hyperspace' but you know it's not from Aliens then you are not alone. The track was used by John McTiernan as temp music score for Die Hard. Michael Kamen thought that it fit so well that he actually used it because the cues were ditched from the Aliens score.

With this 1991 album's opener, "Small Town Saturday Night," Hal Ketchum served as perceptive a slice of Americana as country radio had tasted in years. While he didn't pen this hit, its accompanying album (his second and best) shows he could write songs with salt-of-the-earth perspective and easy-going charm, whether dealing with the melancholia of love or the simple pleasures of relationships. He's not an especially original songwriter, nor does he cultivate a rooted country sound, but he has the common touch and a just-shy-of-smooth delivery that's effective on "I Know Where Love Lives" (another hit) and "Old Soldiers." --Roy Francis Kasten

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars past the point of rescue.......2007-01-11

Hal Ketchum is one of the finest country and western singers and consistently delivers excellent albums like this one. It is a shame that he is overlooked in favour of the new style artists with image but no talent.

5 out of 5 stars Hal- Nothing Better.......2004-11-05

I have every album Hal Ketchum has ever done. To me there is no one better. His voice has a richness and range that cannot be surpassed. He is a master writer, guitar player and singer that transcends any certain category to attach him to. One minute its country, the next a little soul, the next pop etc. A master story teller and usually there is a spiritual side to his music. He can tell a story like no other and you know that he has lived them as well. Well done, Hal!

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2004-07-10

"Five Oclock World" and many other great songs on this one. This CD is a hidden treasure and I'm suprised it didn't get more airplay!!

4 out of 5 stars Excellent mood music........2002-06-28

I love country music that has a bit of soul and most of the work on this album has just that.

With all of the Shania's out there it is nice to hear a piece of work that just doesn't rely on typical country twang, over-produced drivel.

This is good country.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Album by a classic songwriter!.......2001-10-11

Hal Ketchum's debut on Curb records offers up quite a succulent dish of Texas country at it's finest. Ketchum can write, and there's nothing better than a writer who performs his own material. You are guaranteed to get the best interpretation in this collection of ten songs, seven of which are written by Ketchum. The artist's talents are evident in the songs "Somebody's Love," "Long Day Comin'," and "She Found The Place," which was recorded previously as "Bobbie's Song" on Ketchum's independent album release, THREADBARE ALIBIS, on Watermelon records in 1986. "Old Soldiers" features Kathy Mattea singing background; "I Miss My Mary" is the reflection of a bar fly as he sees his true love fade away; and "Don't Strike A Match (To The Book Of Love)" tells of haunting dreams caused by a lover's leaving. "Past The Point Of Rescue" and "Small Town Saturday Night" are the hot tickets on the CD. I guess that's why Curb was smart enough to release them as singles and push the CD to the sales it achieved. This is by far my favorite Hal Ketchum CD.

Diego, hero of TV-watching 3-year-olds the world over, has so convincingly stolen the thunder of his adorably bob-haired cousin Dora that he's now upstaging her on actual stages: Go Diego Go LIVE!, the not-to-be-missed family extravaganza, piles on adventure and suspense for forward-thinking preschoolers and their parents, and its soundtrack effectively boils down the experience for repeat listenings. The song titles spell out the story--"Al Rescate, Amigos!," "Get Your Growl Back," "When We Get Down the River," and others hint at the irrepressible Diego's mission to return his jaguar's missing growl. The addition of crowd-pleasers like "Click!," taken from the TV series, and musical horizon-broadeners like "Conga!" and "Merengue!" make this soundtrack an all-around winner. --Tammy La Gorce

This cd didn't disappoint. My daughter loves it to bits while my husband and i enjoy the good mix of music. It's a cd full of music which caters to the whole family.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD.......2007-06-21

I attended the Go, Diego, Go Live! show and it was fantastic. I don't have any children of my own, but the show was great! I liked it so much, I bought the CD at the show ($15.00).

I love the music and singing so much, it never ceases to bring a smile to my face when I listen to it.

If you haven't seen the show you're missing something very special. You can still own the CD, which I highly recommend to all, from ages 5-80.

Not having this music in your collection, especially if you have children or grandchildren is a mistake.

5 out of 5 stars Just like being there!.......2007-05-13

We took my daughter to see Diego Live for her third birthday and she loved it so much that when I saw the Diego Live cd was available I thought that she might like it also. Well she absolutely loves it! She asks us to play it all the time and she reenacts the show along with it. It's just like being there all over again. I would definitely recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-03-29

The only thing that is a little strange is that the "Click" song on the CD is sung by a guy. For those who didn't attend the show - a note: This CD doesn't use the Diego-Jake T. Austin voice from the animated show. But my 3 year old didn't care. Adults should like the songs because they are set to really great music with good singers. If you attended the Go, Diego, Go Live! this soundtrack is a must!

I have both disc in the series. I liked the music on this disc much more than the first. The selections seem more focused and the sounds are much clearer. Also, the particular pieces fit better together. I love the sound of this group and hope they make more in the future.

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as version 1 in this series.......2004-09-03

This is by the same group who did the wonderful & engaging Early American Choral Music 1. Somehow this CD did not live up to its predecessor in some ways. The performance is still top notch, but somehow the CD as a whole isn't quite as engaging to listen to as the first. Perhaps version 2's strength is also its weakness. Its diversity of composers allows you to pear past the shadow of William Billings and sample other notable early American hymn writers. That exposure is valuable & appreciated. I just couldn't get into it as much.

A final note: many of the texts are beautiful (and available from the publisher's web site). However, I would criticize "Who is this that cometh from Edom?" as dwelling just a bit too much on the Jews' rejection of Jesus. Among other reasons & issues, Christianity says that we are all sinners & there is no cause to single a particular group out negatively.

Please note this CD is a duplicate of His Majestie's Clerkes's "Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody 1550-1800" -- identical contents but a different name and cover. I ordered both and was irritated to discover this. This CD is cheaper, so I recommend this one. It is a lovely choral work from a little-known period of sacred music.
