Great Sampling Collection.......2007-07-29

Over the past thirty years, my father and I have been collecting film music on various formats--vinyl, tape, reel-to-reel, CD, recording it from the movie, even. This collection is a great starter for someone who wants to start owning movie music. Lots of big hitters, including Hermann, Barry, Conti, Mancini, and Goldsmith as well as some contemporary scores that are great, too. This is the type of collection I would make for a friend who asks "what scores should I start with?"

Six Decades of Film Music.......2007-05-13

This is film music for the classical music lover. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra presents excellent arrangements of a number of classic film themes (although several pieces of the 56 film classics selected for this 4 CD set are not orchestral arrangements, but rather specialty arrangements). Besides great film composers such as John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, and James Horner, classical composers such as Richard Strauss and Pietro Mascagni make an appearance. On several of the numbers the Crouch End Festival Chorus adds the human voice to the power of the full symphonic orchestra to create true movie magic. If you like the sound of a full symphony orchestra playing some of the most recognized themes ever written, you'll love these CDs.

Excellent collection with fine performances.......2007-03-28

Silva Screen Records, based in England, has been issuing some fine collections of film scores, more in one box than we have the right to expect. This four-CD box contains scores by many of the best writers, including Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tomkin, Kenneth J. Alford (The Bridge on the River Kwai), Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, Ennio Marricone, John Barry, Nino Rota, John Williams, James Horner, and more. We can all think of additional film scores we wished were included, but then there's no way this collection could be all-inclusive. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, supplemented by Crouch End Festival Chorus on some numbers, does a very competent job...The liner notes give the basic information without any commentary, and as far as I can see, contain only one error. Am I wrong or are tracks 9 and 10 on the fourth CD mislabeled? Track 9, which runs 7:33, seems to have the excitement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" (which I did not see) and track 10, which runs 4:22, the more sedate "The Girl with the Pearl Earring (which I also did not see). Listings seem to have them reversed.

"essential film scores from 1939 to 2004 ~ Incredible Music".......2005-05-16

When I think of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "The Incredible Film Music Box", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades from 1939 through and up to the present 2004

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classic that even the youngsters today recognize "GONE WITH THE WIND" (1939) (Max Steiner), sweeping score that captures the tragic history of the South during the Civil War, one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this, nominated by the Academy for Best Original Score...and closing on Disc 4 with "THE INCREDIBLES" (2004) (Michael Giacchino), the big hit in computer animation from Walt Disney & Pixar that once again pit Super-Heroes against the forces of evil...our family of five Supers prove crime doesn't pay, but box-office receipts do...gotta love it!

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Bill Ashton, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens, Derek Wadsworth, and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come.

Some selections are missing, but when you think of what Silva has included, it is impossible to please everyone...was happy to see "TOUCH OF EVIL" (1958) from composer Henry Mancini, as I feel this composer deserves all the recognition that has been overlooked recently in the music world...This collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

If you're into raps about worldly things like 9-to-5 jobs, male-female relations, and platinum pinky rings, you might want to click over to another album. Jedi Mind Tricks--Ikon the Verbal Hologram and Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind--flip bushels of out-there, sci-fi rhymes on this experimental and sinister underground favorite from 1997. Certainly, tales of Illuminati-esque government conspiracies, alien experiments, and other stratospherical explorations have never sounded so unique, aided here by ominous violins and creepy operatic squeals. "I Who Have Nothing" (complete with Shirley Bassey sample) should get votes for being one of the most depressing songs of all time; however, for folks blunted into Top 40 submission, it may well have the opposite effect. On the other hand, JMT's heavy use of religious references and plodding lo-tech beats is not for everyone. Borderline geniuses or Star Trek geeks gone mad? The choice is yours. --Dalton Higgins

Album Description

The Psycho-Social CD is the cult classic pre-quel to Jedi Mind Tricks "Violent by Design" album.

Described by The Source Magazine as "Ahead of its time" and by CMJ as "A must own for anyone who cares about hip-hop culture," The Psycho-Social CD is a must own.

Not As Good As Violent By Design But Damn Good.......2006-08-12

What do you get when you mix early Killah Priest And sci fiction movies together, you get Jedi Mind Trick. There a DJ/MC type of group that dare to be completly different fron any thing out there. This CD get you ready for Violent By Design because of the scary back drop and deep lyrics. Whith there own sound thanks to producer and member Stoup you can call them trail blazers. You can tell Vinnie Paz(the other member) feel right at home over spooky beats like The Immaculate Conception,Communion:The Crop Circle Thesis,Chinese Water Torture, and many others. JMT makes many religious refferansis they kind of remind me of some of the Wu stuff they also sampel there voices a couple times. But it not all SCIFI and biblical, check out the the sad vide on I Who Have Nothing and the battle ready Get This Low and Tug Of War. I would not recomend this album to the soft at heart. Only to the underground heads and people that are familer with the Jedi way.

God this Sytoupe guy is so damn sick on the beats and he has always been. The Lyrics are not to bad but damn the beats are grimey and sick again.Stoupe is one of the greatest producers at finding just pure grimey warrior sounding beats. This goes for fans of Organized Konfusion and Wu Tang Clan and Cold Vein guys and Company Flow. I believe there were different rappers on here

P.S.-Probally not as good as Violent by Design but still dope

lyrical geniuses.......2006-05-08

The tracks on this album are uninterrupted raw and stupifying. All listeners of real hip hop know Jedi Mind Tricks -- few really get it. It's philosophy - the closest thing we have to real insightful shamanistic intellectualism. This album is just the beginning of Jedi Mind Tricks' journey. Violent by Design is more refined and possibly the best album this century. Visions of Ghandi has gotten SHAT on, but anyone who takes the time to view Jedi Mind Tricks' more recent stuff should emerge from the depths of subconscience knowing that these artists are going further and further into their own minds, uncovering some of the scariest truths of our age. buy this and support real rap.

More like 3.5.......2006-05-04

but someone has to try and even the scales a bit. This c.d. is not 4.5 stars, but it is pretty good for a start to an excellent rap group. Overall, the best songs are the ones with Apathy in them, who happened to be incredibly young at the time of his verses on the tracks, which just displays how incredible he was and will be. Apostle's Creed, Omnicron, and 3 Immortals are the best tracks on the album, anything else is pretty much skippable if you're into the real JMT of the years after that.

......what happened to vinnie.......2005-12-12

his voice is raw as hell but he needs better lyricism..... all of his lyrics in his new stuff after violent by disign are just average and hes sounding like a amature.. I mean im getting to the point where i think Jus Allah wrote his stuff for him on that album. Hes so lucky that he met stoupe with his sick ass beats... Im so sick of hearing him say in like every song "ima put [insert a number] shots in your spine, baby (or daddy mommy or cuzin) what ever its getting old...I swear in like every song he says daddy/mommy/cuzzin for 3 lines or more at end....................He needs "The God" Jus Allah back at his side. peace

Excellent performances of a selection of Herrmann's later film scores.......2007-06-15

Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic produce fine performances of a selection of Herrmann's post-1955 film scores.

The music itself is of variable musical interest.
The music from "The Man who Knew too Much", "Vertigo", "Marnie", "North by Northwest", "Taxi Driver" and "Psycho" shows Herrmann at his best.
"Torn Curtain" and "Fahrenheit 451" find Herrmann at his least inspired and it is a pity Salonen didn't jettison these items in favour of something else.

The performances cannot be faulted and lovers of Herrmann's music will find much to enjoy here.

Classic, at reduced price.......2006-08-15

As much (if not more) than any other film composer, Bernard Herrmann's music stands up to listening independent of the films. The emphasis here is on Herrmann's scores for Hitchcock, when both men were arguably at their creative heights.

Note: this is NOT a collection of original soundtrack recordings. However, Salonen and the LA Philharmonic at absolutely top-notch, and the recording is beautiful. Certain subtleties are actually easier to hear on this recording than on some of the originals.

As if I couldn't recommend this highly enough, the price has been reduced on this reissue! This deserves a wide audience, don't hesitate to buy it.

They forgot many many songs in the movie.......2007-06-18

I love the movie hands down of course. But the soundtrack, what in the heck were they thinking? Yes some songs that were in the movie are included in the movie soundtrack but they should of included all of the songs in the movie!

If I had to redo the soundtrack over again, here is what I would include:
You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) - Dope
Monologue 1 - John Cale
Walking on Sunshine: Katrina and the Waves
Something In The Air (American Psycho remix)- David Bowie
Lady in red; Chris DeBurgh
Watching Me Fall (Underdog remix)- The Cure
John Cale's Dialogue to bartender during New order song
New Order-True Faith
Addicted to Love-Robert Palmer
The christmas carol played at evelyn's christmas party
Monologue 2 - John Cale
Trouble - Daniel Ash
John Cale's dialogue during hip to be square
Hip to be square-Huey Lewis and the News
Genesis-In too deep
John Cale dialogue when Sussudio is playing
Sussudio-Phil Collins
Paid In Full (Coldcut remix) - Eric B. & Rakim
Who Feelin' It (Philip's Psycho mix) - Tom Tom Club
Monologue 3 - John Cale (during information society song)
What's On Your Mind - Information Society (Pure Energy mix)
Pump Up The Volume - M/A/R/R/S
Whitney Houston dialogue by John Cale (There were would be no need to skip over to track 98)
The greatest love of all (movie instrumental)
Paid In Full - The Racket (remix)
Chainsaw noise &"christie" screaming--from the movie
Track 98--The Closing dialogue from the movie

But still including stuff from the 80's and a remake of phil collins "in the air.." and dead or alive's "you spin me around.." earns the soundtrack a 4 in my book.

You Own a Whitney Houston Cd? More Than One?!.......2005-03-12

Yes, some of the key songs from the film are not included in this collection. What most people don't know is that the filmmakers did have Huey Lewis' song "Hip to Be Square" on this cd, but it was rejected at the last second by Huey himself after he saw the movie. He didn't like the fact that his song was a part of such a violent scene. I know this makes no sense considering he had to sign off and give the filmmakers initial permission to use his song, but nevertheless...

Aside from the missing songs, this soundtrack is an excellent collection, mixing in some of the lesser-known but worthy tracks such as New Order's "True Faith", David Bowie's "Something in the Air", and Information Society's "What's on Your Mind" with soundbytes of Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) from the film itself. For the younger crowd, there's also a new version of Dead or Alive's "Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dope, which in some ways is even better than the original (though you can't ever top a classic).

Fans (or non-fans) of the film should like this collection of music, regardless of the missing tracks. Definitely for fans of 80s music.

*If you let the cd go for a looooooooong time, or if you track backwards (say in your car) to track 98 or so, you'll hear a soundbyte of Patrick Bateman talking about "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston.

Just sort of eh.......2004-04-22

I found my copy at Wal-Mart with the Huey Lewis song still on it so that was a plus. but for the most part I didn't feel that the cd went well with the movie.
On the version I have if you click forward long enough you can find Batemans Whitney Housten monolouge

Awesome but..........2004-04-03

Great soundtrack, Great movie butmissing a few tracks such as "Sussidio" one of the key songs in the movie. The music is a key factor of Bateman's personality (or lack thereof). This is a must with so many great songs, but remember thats not all there is....

American Pyscho Soundtrack.......2004-01-07

Even though this is a great soundtrack it is still missing a few songs from the film that could've made it even better. Here's a review of the soundtrack-
1.Dope- You spin me round- 4.5 stars
2.Patrick Bateman Monologue 1
3.David Bowie- somthing in the air- 4 stars
4.The cure-watching me fall (underdog remix)-3.9 stars
5.New Order- True Faith- 5 out of 5 stars
6.Patrick Bateman monologue 2
7.Daniel Ash- Trouble- 3.5 stars
8.Eric B. and Rakim- paid in full(coldcut remix)-3.8 stars
9.Tom Tom Club- Who feelin it- 3.8 stars
1O.Patrick Bateman monologue 3-( all the monologue's are great)
11.Information Society-Whats on your mind(Pure energy mix)4.9 stars
12.M/A/R/R/S- pump up the volume- 4 stars
13.The Racket-Paid in full ( remix )- 3 stars
Reason i give this soundtrack 5 stars is for the monologues and the great tracks from new order, dope and information society. Any fan of the movie should have this soundtrack in thier collection.

Michael Ruffin was the temptations, Glenn Danzig was the Misfits.......2007-07-16

It's sad that jerry only continues to destroy the misfits legacy. Making money off of kids must be real easy. It's sad that this album is rated so highly on this website. Are these crack induced ratings?

I make no apologies. I like Graves era Misfits.......2007-05-12

No Danzig. Boo hoo. Would everybody feel better if there were no Misfits at all? For everyone who is so loyal to Danzig, I ask you this. Who loves the Misfits more? You or Glenn? The answer is you if you are a fan. Glenn abandoned the Misfits. He fought with bandmembers over cheeseburgers for crying out loud! If you like Glenn then go follow Glenn's career. If you are a true fiend, stick with the 'Fits. I'll be honest, I was more disappointed when Doyle left, then when Danzig did.

OK on to the album. If this is the first Misfits album you have purchased without Glenn (like me), then at first listen you may feel a need to check your CD player to see if you are playing the right album. Your mind may think to itself "What?.......what is this I hear?........Is it?....No it couldn't be.........Wait it is! I hear it! Production!!"

That's right friends and neighbors. The Misfits actually had the money, equipment, and sound engineers to properly record and produce and album. Gone are the days of the muffled drums, lost bass lines, and hard to hear vocals. It is a real album. Doyle's playing is awesome I love it. Dr. Chud is my favorite Misfits drummer, even though I really like Robo too. Jerry's playing is tight and Michale Graves sings very well, but to me his singing blossomed on the Misfit's next release 'Famous Monsters'.

The songs here are good, again it's the Misfits, not Electric Light Orchestra or Kansas. The songs are fast (17 songs in 40 minutes you do the math). Subject matter is of course B monster and sci-fi movies. Highlights for me are "Invaders from Mars", "Dig up her Bones", "Shining", and I really like "Don't Open 'till Doomsday".

Hey like I said, times change. Maybe one day Glen and Jerry can bury the hatchett, and Doyle will come back to the fold. KISS, Black Sabbath, and even Van Halen have reunited. Never say never, chances are Glen and the Misfits will perform again. Until then, be a true fiend and celebrate everything Misfits.

give it up for Jerry.......2006-12-05

i like some of the old misfits with Danzig, the raw sound, the lyrics and vocals, BUT...when i picked up this album and the follow up, "famous monsters", it blew my mind. The 50 year old mohawk punks and the people who are afraid of change can only bad-mouth Graves and the newer sound, but Graves has an awesome voice (i was pissed when he left the band). Danzig went on to do his own stuff which fans of the older misfits should appreciate. Jerry Only did his best to keep this band going, you can bow down to Danzig all you want but Jerry was the fire behind this band. They had it out and Danzig left, Jerry kept this band alive and the misfits with Chud and Graves was a great, short-lived era for the Misfits. Just appreciate the fact that their music wasn't overplayed tremendously on the radio. Punk, Metal, whatever, music is music and if it sounds good to me then it rocks. Jerry is the man and i hope he keeps the fire of the Misfits alive forever.

RUN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THIS CD!.......2006-10-11

Alright here's the deal, I bought this cd with an open mind. I understand black sabbath switched lead singers and so did ac/dc and alot of other bands and they still put out great music with both frontmen. Im not saying its not possible, it just didnt happen with the misfits. i bet with sabbath and ac/dc other bands members helped with writing the music, but with the fits, glenn wrote ALL OF IT! the lyrics and the music...he even taught some of the members how to play their instruments. so guess what happens when glenn leaves? uh-oh...now the band has to write music for itself and try and stand on its own two feet. this stuff isnt terrible, there are a couple decent tracks on here, but its a totally different band with a totally different sound. i hope glenn will forgive me for buying this...it sux.

This album is awsome.......2006-09-28

i bought this album and it rocks. the new singer is awsome, but not as awsome as Danzig. I Luv The Misfits, their lineup now dosen't sound good. they have jerry and robo but no doyle that guy from black flag.

Much has been made of composer Bernard Herrmann's choice to use only razor-sharp, slashing strings for his score to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. And heaven knows it works like a dream (or a nightmare), the music feeling as edgy and colorless as the noir-ish black-and-white photography. But as noticeably effective as the knife-screeching violins are in the famous shower scene (followed by those deadly blows from the basses and cellos), they work just as powerfully--though perhaps not as noticeably--all throughout the picture. Herrmann evokes dread and tension with just a few notes, or captures Janet Leigh's flighty panic in pizzicato as she hits the fateful road to the Bates Motel after impulsively stealing a large sum of money from her employer. --Jim Emerson

Herrmann's Famous Score Complete on CD.......2004-11-22

My favorite classic movie scores are Leonard Bernstein's for ON THE WATERFRONT (1954), Alfred Newman's for THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK (1959) - and Bernard Herrmann's for PSYCHO (1960). Herrmann composed his all-strings, "black-and-white" score at around the same time he wrote the hauntingly beautiful music for such memorable episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE as "Walking Distance" and "The Lonely." The parts of the extensive PSYCHO score that stayed with me most after seeing the movie for the first time were the "flight" theme (when Marion Crane, after having embezzled money, is fleeing in her car from the police); the "temptation" theme (heard as the camera focuses on the stolen money lying on Marion's bed); and, of course, the squealing violins of the two famous murders: Marion's (in the shower) and Detective Arbogast's (on the stairs). All of that music - and in fact, the entire movie score - is captured vividly in this 1996 recording by Joel Mc Neeley and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. The recorded sound is spacious, the strings lush in the almost-Romantic "Marion" and "Marion and Sam" themes. So great is the PSYCHO score that it fully deserved this complete, modern recording. Let's hope that Mc Neeley and his orchestra record Herrmann's TWILIGHT ZONE themes, too.

Definative.......2004-04-13

Spectacular re-recording of what remains one of the most recognizable and imitated film scores of all time. As usual with McNeely and the RSNO, the performance is both electrifying and exact, and the recording is spot on. Herrmann felt that Hitchcock's black-and-white film needed an equally black-and-white score, so he removed the "color" from the orchestra by limiting his writing strictly to the string section. What he accomplished was amazing in its ability to manipulate one's primal emotions, with or without the film. From the panic-stricken opening titles, through the long passages of drawn-out suspense, to the famous murder "stings," few other scores have done so much to build and shape the overall mood and movement of a movie. This completed Herrmann's trilogy of masterpieces for Hitchcock films, the prior ones being 'Vertigo' and 'North by Northwest.' If the former was his most darkly romantic, and the latter his most light-hearted and adventurous, then this one is easily the bleakest and most relentlessly single-minded. Yet it holds up splendidly as a stand-alone piece of work, brought to life once again under McNeely's direction. I'm not usually a fan of re-recordings, but he and the RSNO seem to get Herrmann's work just right time and again. A must-own if you love film music.

AT THE TOP OF THE ART OF FILM SCORING.......2003-11-16

Can one deny that Bernard Herrmann's score to "Psycho" belongs in the top five of all-time great film scores? I think not.

Joel McNeely and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra have performed the score masterfully with every thrilling, as well as subtle, chord.

Purists may "scoff" that this rendition differs from the one conducted by Herrmann in the film, and to them I say "So what?"

This is merely one ensemble's interpretation of the work of a master as seen and played through the eyes of composer/arranger McNeely.

In other words, it's worth the money to buy and savor one's purchase!

Better than some..........2003-01-15

Varese records has produced many recordings of old movies and even a soundtrack to a book (Star Wars Shadows of the Empire). Some recordings have been hit and miss others have been excellent. This recording fall into the excellent category, the music has a great feel of the movie and the digital sound is a plus. I felt that Joel McNeely and his RSO were actually recording the music for the actual movie themselves. Great work!!

The masterpiece of mystery music.......2002-12-26

It's hard to believe they gave Bernard Herrmann a small orchestra and he worked it out to make a masterpiece in film music! The score resulted in a genious orchestration of strings and high violins that matches with Hitchcock's film in a perfect way.
Joel McNeely rerecords the score very similar to the original, and that is good since we don't have any other score available.

It must be remembered that Psycho soundtrack is much more than the infectuous music for the shower scene, anyone who has seen the mov will agree with with me. It has a great deal of fantastic mystery music, like the one used in "Temptation" or even the variations of the main theme used in the runaway cues, which create a very quick, suspenseful mood. My personal fave is "The Car", what a sound!
The score never develops to an comforting romantic cue, however "Marion and Sam" gives a lighter touch of their troubled romance.
It must be said that the "murder" themes are very similar to the original in the mov (they sound strong, and that's good) with the exception of "Discovery" part, where you'll not find the strings of the shower scene, there is instead the original music Herrmann wanted.

That's what it is-tam tam tam tam tam! That's how begins this must have score!

THEY ARE UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF ALL TIME, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS GROUP.......2005-10-08

The Psycho Realm are made up of two brothers, Sick Jacken and Duke and the third part time member is B Real from the group Cypress Hill. B Real discovered the group when they were unsigned and was so impressed by them that not only did he want to help them get signed but he wanted to be part of their group.

First of all I want to get a few things clear because after reading a few of the reviews on amazon it is quite obvious that most people are not aware of what Psycho Realm are about and are posting statements about them which are completly untrue, for starters:
1. PSYCHO REALM ARE NOT A SPIN OFF OF CYPRESS HILL, THEY ARE TWO BROTHERS WITH SUPERIOR TALENT AND B REAL WANTED TO BE PART OF THEM BECAUSE THEY CARRIED THAT HUNGER AND SOCIAL AWARENESS WHICH I BELIEVE HE THOUGHT THAT CYPRESS HILL DID NOT HAVE ANYMORE OR NECESSARILY CONCENTRATED ON.

2.DJ MUGGS DID NOT AND I REPEAT, DID NOT PRODUCE ANY OF THE TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM, ONLY ON ONE SONG WAS IT PRODUCED BY A MEMBER OF SOUL ASSASSINS WHICH MUGGS IS A PART OFF, BUT HE WAS NOT INVOLVED.
THE BEATS WERE PRODUCED BY SICK JACKEN HIMSELF AND SOME WERE CO PRODUCED BY B REAL.

This album carrys the sort of lyrics which are hard to hear from rappers these day's, It cannot be stressed how much this group is underated, they describe the dangers of the streets of LA in particular their district of Pico Union in such a vibrant and detailed way that upon listening to them you can almost picture the social depravation which plagues their streets. I am not going to start telling you about individual songs on here because the truth is that every song on this album is relevant, there are no fillers here.

The beats are some of the best I have ever heard and that is not an overstatement, not only that but they are also quite original and it seems that the beat selection was made just for them, they are quite dark and rugged but never do they suffer from same beat syndrome and they are all serious headnodders.

This group deserves more attention than they get and I urge people to check them out, I am not claiming that they are the best ever but they are a testament to what true hip hop stand's for and can claim with their head held high that they represent the westcoast.

Their other two albums A War Story and War Story Book 2 which came after this are also as good if not better than this one so if you can get a hold of them also, I strongly recommend it.

DON'T SLEEP ON THIS GROUP, IF YOU ARE INTO SERIOUS GOOD HIP HOP AND NOT HIP POP THEN GET THIS OTHERWISE YOU ARE MISSING OUT.

Underrated Masterpiece.......2005-01-17

This group is very underrated and unheard of. They deserved better, as this album shows how talented they are. With Muggs on production, you can't go wrong there, then you got Duke, Jacken and B-Real, who never fail. All the tracks are strong, no weak songs, and the production is top-notch with brilliant lyrics and rapping. I would call it a masterpiece. Best tracks are Psycho City Blocks, La Connecta Pt 1 & 2, Showdown, and Psyclones. The reviewer that said Psycho Realm "sounds like a cross between Cypress Hill and the Gravediggaz" obviously hasn't heard this album, because that is completely not true, that is total disrecpect to say that.

In the Psycho Realm.......2003-02-12

Muggs... this is like a soundtrack to a classic movie. the beats are deep dark and could stand on their own, as an instrumental. together with B-Real, Duke, & Jacken, this album is one of hip-hops un-harvested gems. this album is unbelievable. it's too bad that some good music never eceives the credit it is due. if you buy any hip hop album , this is it. if yoru dissappointed by this album, then you really don't know what good music is, and you should give this album to someone who can appreciate it for the masterpiece it is.

Why is this lumped in with metal.......2007-07-15

I feel like necro is a stooge for metal. Hatebreed and who ever else wants to associate themselves with Necro probably do it as a goof to place theyre sound into the rap realm in a not to serious way. I don't hear anythihng relevant to metal with Necro. It's pure straight up rap. People mention the beats but, so what? Dr. Dre blows this poser away when Dre did Natural born killers. What the hell is so special about sampling music from a computer program anyway? literally takes no skill that any idiot can do. Playing an instrument takes skill which is something necro doesnt come close to doing.
As far as the necro sound, All Necro does is throw in some metal names and evil theme's into his raps but otherwise there isn't any creative union with metal. I can't imagine any metal guitarist wanting to do live riffs with necro. I saw them in the sounds of the underground tour and they only thing they succeeded on doing was getting most fans to go on a 45 minute lunch and bathroom break during their set. Sure there were a handfull of necro fans that were doing a stupid pit (one of the most pathetically small one's you will every see with Necro chanting "pit Pit"). The rest of the fan's that could stomach watching them were yelling to get off the F'n stage.

THE Best.......2006-10-25

as a guy who listens to G-Unit, Jay-Z, Xzibit, Jermaine Dupri, etc....
i enjoy this album alot.
i like the complex lyrics, the issues they talk about [suicide, gore and such].
Necro is an extreme rapper, and he does the job right.

TOO HARDCORE FOR COMMERCIAL HEADS.......2006-03-08

First off this cd aint for commercial heads,this cd is very well produced and will apply to anyone whit a open mind. The lyrical contents are morbid of course (its necro what do you think!) and well structured. A beautiful mix of metal whit hip hop a very good blend, picture old school metalica whit bones thugz rapping over the riffs.This basicly what it is a very strong production that will keep banging this record for years to come. I recommend this cd to anyone who wants to piss off people whit its content or just listen to something different and not the same repeative , lame crap u hear on the radio or tv. Ill put this way the contant of this cd is like slayer only more colorful and more porn stuff , if ya like porn, 86 measure of the game keep u happy , if ya like hardcore rap this is for u.

.................2006-01-14

Uhhhh..... This is music? Reminds me of a bad horror movie with no plot or point, just gallons and gallons of fake blood. Who writes this guys rhymes? You know I don't even care, what I'm more worried about is who the hxll buys enough of this guys cd's to warrant the 3 or 4 albums he has out? Do me a favor everyone, instead of buying Necro's Cd's lets all pitch in and help this poor white boy go out and find him a job. Remember, if we keep feeding him he'll never go home.
Late

4.5 STARS.......2005-12-21

Necro does it again, he truly is amazing. His lyrical skills are creative and humourous. He is one of the best producers in the rap game. I highly recommend this and all of the other Psycho+Logical-Records albums.

all that distortion.......2005-03-09

I was like 12 years old when I first heard the Sonics while growing up in Seattle. People in seattle were really proud of The Sonics, The Wailers. Seattle was pretty much a backwater town in the early sixties. The Seattle World's Fair started to change that image.

I think what I remember most about the Sonics was all that distortion in their music. Lots of groups were experimenting with "fuzz" guitar and bass... The Beatles, the Stones. I wouldn't be surprised that the group "Blue Cheer" was influenced by The Sonics and The Wailers..

They've Got The Feeling, For Real.......2005-02-23

Whenever I hear about "garage rock" I brace myself: let's face it, this term has been used to describe everything from the worst sub-high school battle of the bands tripe to misguided attempts to ape other contemporary bands to God knows what.

This is different. The Sonics make it so obvious that they CARE about what's being played and sung that any "faults" or "omissions" are just forgotten in the pure fun of rock and roll in the pre-critic era. Jerry's scream is so, well, visceral he loses his voice a couple of times in songs because he's trying so hard! The playing in the band is never less than servicable, often wonderful, occasionally inspirational. And the best part, the most realistic part, is that all the "you-gotta-play-'em" songs that they would have been forced to play (or not get paid..) at the local bar/high school auditorium/roller rink are on here too, from "Jenny, Jenny" to "Don't You Just Know It", to "Since I Fell For You", whether they knew (or sung) all of the lyrics or not. "Since", as a matter of fact, is missing a whole stanza - and it don't matter! The spirit of the age was "Do you know this song?" "Well, mostly" "Good, let's do it!"

THAT's WHAT GARAGE WAS REALLY ALL ABOUT - AMBITION HAD TO OUTSTRIP ABILITY - BUT NOT TALENT!

This is a great CD. You will not be able to avoid singing (screaming?) along with it, and laughing all the time. A gem.

psychedelic punk supremo.......2000-06-14

Spawned in the Pacific Northwest in 1963, the Sonics created what might best be described as psychedelic punk music, since the term "garage" is not nearly descriptive enough. Built around the lead guitar work of Larry Parypa and the screaming vocals of Jerry Roslie, the band never managed to dent the charts, but did manage to dent the eardrums of musical fans and less enthusiastic parents alike. From their debut single "Witch" presented in 3 versions (single, alternate take, and live) to the title song represented by the original single and a live version, "Psycho-Sonic" compiles 29 tracks and 73 minutes of the wildest music you are likely to ever encounter. My personal favorite has always been "Strychnine" which is unfortunately is not represented by either an alternate take or a live version. While the Sonics covered many of the traditional rock and roll numbers of the day, ("Do You Love Me" "Roll Over Beethoven" "Good Golly Miss Molly" etc.) by far the more interesting pieces of this puzzle are the band originals, such as the 3 songs mentioned early on in this review. Never boring and never satisfied to merely perform a song, the Sonics were years ahead of their time, and unlike much of the music of their day, their tracks have aged quite well, sounding just as outlandish today as they did 35 years ago. Big Beat Records has done a wonderful job both in compiling the anthology and in the sound quality. The 8 page booklet has a wonderful essay by Peter Blecha of the Northwest Music Archives in Seattle which is full of biographical and discographical info. The price may be a bit steep, but if you're a fan of punk, garage, or psychedelia, this is an absolute must. Get it while its still in print.

WHHOOAAARRGGGGGHHHHHH !.......1999-03-27

That's how you could sum up the Sonics' sound. They played the hardest rock'n'roll that could be played in 1964-65. Their screamer, I mean singer, Jerry Roslie, is fantastic. Not the greatest voice in the world but let's say he puts his heart (and guts) in what he sings. "Do you love me" is incredible : the first five seconds are so loud you could think your stereo will explode, and what follows is something that would make a dead body dance. There's also "Keep a Knockin'", sung in G, almost as high as Little Richard, and when Jerry Roslie sings it you could believe he won't manage to reach the end of the song as he breaks his voice again and again. And what about "Psycho", a self-penned rock'n'roll number ? And "The Witch", and "He's waitin'", which are proto-hard rock numbers ? Even "Louie Louie" is turned into something threatening, raw and loud. A fantastic record. And I'm not an old nostalgic Sonics fan, I'm 22 and I discovered them through the "Nuggets" box set.

Amazon.com

Good film music should be seen and not heard--that is, it's usually there for background, to reinforce what you're seeing, not to draw attention to itself. So why listen to it? Often that's a mystery, but the items in this collection seem to have been selected because they are interesting music (Prokofiev, Copland, Bernstein) or because they are so familiar that they bring back memories of favorite movies (Laura, High Noon, Star Wars). Like much movie music, a lot of these items are sentimental and overblown, even the more famous ones. (Those famous screaming strings in Psycho can sound silly without the onscreen action.) But if you want one movie-music CD in your collection, this may be the one to have. --Leslie Gerber

The stirring martial music from the movie "Captain from Castille" ("Conquest") is on this album and so far as I know it's the only CD you'll find it on. But other tracks are great also, including the "Parade of the Charioteers" from "Ben Hur," the theme from "The Magnificent Seven," and "The Imperial March" from Star Wars.

A GREAT COMPILATION!.......2005-06-05

I've come to appreciate soundtracks more and more. This compilation progresses chronologically through 60 years of film music, starting with 1939's "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood", and ending with "Titanic". It encompasses a huge range of styles. Along with the usual suspects - music from "Ben-Hur", "The Magnificent 7", "Star Wars", et al, there are a few real sleepers, like John Barry's medieval-flavored theme to "The Lion in Winter", or Leonard Roseman's lyrical "East of Eden". Blessedly, most of the tracks are original recordings, conducted by the composers, among them Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland. Only those of us burned by tinny, tacky, sacriligiously rearranged retreads on obscure labels can appreciate this.

There are a few notable omissions. The prolific Randy Newman isn't represented, though Uncle Alfred is. And NO Ennio Morricone? - incredible! Presumably, this has more to do with Sony's current copyrights and contracts than the relative merits of the composers. And it's fine to have John Williams included twice, but why two pieces from "Star Wars"? Why not the theme from "Jaws", for instance? Or "Sugarland Express", for a really unexpected treat? But these are minor quibbles. And for whatever it's lacking, there's no fluff substituted. This is real music from fine craftsmen, which sometimes attains art. A great intro to the form, and wonderful just to listen to. I bought it used - one of my best deals ever!

So So Compilation.......2002-01-14

My major interest in this CD was in the selection entitled "Robin Hood And His Merry Men" (duration: 4 min, 28 sec), conducted by John Williams, and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. It turns out that this is a re-issue of the track from Sony Classical SK 62788, 1997. Surprisingly, this performance is poky, ponderous, and prodding. The conducting is, well, somnambulistic. Miking/mixing/processing yields a sonic brick deficient in instrumental nuances while sounding like way too many musicians were shoe horned into the recording studio. As for the rest of the tracks, it's hard to believe, but Silva America offers better compilations! Best to skip this one.

Deserves more than five stars.......2000-06-23

I have several discs of film music, and this one if by far the best. As one of the previous reviewers noted, there are many peices absent that could have been included here, but I don't see how anyone could be completely satisfied with any compilation that fit on just one disc.

The performances here are crisp and clear, and include a good selection of both old and new, ranging from traditional film favorites like the Star Wars theme, to less common selections like the screeching strings from Psycho (at least, I think they're less common, but I could be wrong). And I could listen to the Magnificent Seven theme over and over.

Anyway, this is a great disc for almost anyone. If you're looking for one thing in particular, find that film's soundtrack, but otherwise, this is a fantastic disc, and one of my favorites!

Music In Film (NPR Milestones of the Millennium.......2000-05-02

Great CD;the music is crystal clear with an excellent variety demonstrating the wide variety of musical talents in Hollywood. Liner notes are also most interesting, explaining some of the history behind the cuts and pointing out differences in the composers styles...as with John Barry. His style ranges from "the Lion in Winter" bold dramatic soundtrack to the exquisitley tender "Dances with Wolves" theme music. A CD to enjoy over and over
