5 out of 5 stars The penultimate collection ..........2006-12-07

Generally I agree with Strategos in his ecstatic Spotlight Review above. It is a joy to here some of the most memorable themes and cues from some of the most memorable science fiction and fantasy movies (re)recorded in great sound and in lavish (re)orchestrations, played by renowned classical orchestras, namely the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra, no less.

I have always had a weak spot for (good, or maybe even intelligent) science fiction/fantasy and film music, especially its way of evoking mystery, grandure and wide open spaces. Call it a weakness if you want. But it was maybe really kick started off, for as far as I can remember, with Star Trek. But especially Star Trek II, III and IV - essentially a trilogy - because of their very romantic but very warm, human core, set on the broadest canvasses of unlimited and mysterious outer space. But then there was the music for adding that essential extra dimension of emotion and atmosphere. I am happy that much of the music on this album is from the Star Trek series and films, often equaling or sometimes even outclassing the original recordings.

This kind of music (for the movies) should be seen as an art on its own rights with its own merits and qualities. As such, the musical sequences on these CD's are a beautifully played cross section of some of the most evoking orchestral music for science fiction/fantasy film ever created. And I very much like the nicely blended, wide and deep orchestral soundpicture with enough reverberation to evoke a sense of wide open spaces.
I am quite thrilled by tracks like the evocative music from Dune, truly transporting one to the vastly sands of Arrakis (the music is wonderful, but to my great regret I think the movie itself is a flawed masterpiece at best, alas.). And then there is the very different, goofy music for Ghostbusters (memories of childhood), the spoofy but electrifying music from Mars Attacks (lovingly parodist music, this, with not a little touch of irony) and the happily adventurous, forward driving Theme from Galaxy Quest ('Never give up, never surrender!'), now also used for the internet-based fan-series Star Trek: The Hidden Frontier. On the other side of the spectrum we have the atmospheric music for Enemy Mine (an underestimated 'little' movie), the Theme from The Right Stuff (actually science FACT, not fiction, this film, just like Apollo 13, of course), the eerily attractive music for Species, the original End Title for Alien (not used in the theatrical version of the movie, where it was replaced by music from howard Hanson's Second Symphony), the exquisitely exotic music for Stargate, the sweet and warmly sympathetic, beautifully re-orchestrated, theme for Starman, the title cue for Star Trek: TOS (much more melodiously played than the original! If only a series nowadays could continue to be as thought provoking and as original as Star Trek was during its launch, fourty years ago ...) and a truly overpowering End Titles Suite from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I especially like the thrillingly grandiloquent rendition here of the music for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. And how nice it is to hear the (thematic) similarities between James Horner's music for The Wrath of Khan, his great break-through as a film music composer, and his (two years) earlier music for Battle Beyond the Stars (which did indeed help him earn the job for writing the music for Star Trek II) ...

But on the 'down side', if one is looking for - for example - the gorgeously expansively played End Titles from Cocoon, it is not included here: one has to acquire the album that 'kicked it all off', so to say, namely 'Space and Beyond', also on Silva Screen. I was very pleased also with the inclusion on that album of some of the music from the series Star Trek: The Next Generation, namely where one of the characters, Tasha Yar, in one of the episodes (Skin of Evil) is saying goodbye to her crewmmates: sweetly sentimental and simple music which I have always wanted to own on CD. I guess that a few cues from the other two sequals ('Alien Invasion: Space and Beyond II' and 'Space3: Beyond the Final Frontier') didn't make it onto this 4 CD collection-album as well, but I guess that it would be the 'better part of the bargain' to opt to buy this 'The Science Fiction Album' instead of buying all three albums separately. Well, of course it is for yourself to ultimately decide what you really want ;-)

If I were to nitpick (which is not easy with such a marvellous project as this one), then I would say that while all music is performed with magnificent grandure and with style, some of it is not performed as crisply and as technically 'on the spot' as some of the original recordings: ensemble is a little slack and the playing somewhat stilted sometimes, losing some of the edge and the originality of the writing. ET and Star Wars spring to mind, but then the soundtracks for Star Wars are traditionally recorded with the magnificent London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by maestro John Williams himself, and these superior recordings (especially the ones for Episode I, II and III) can't really be bettered, IMHO. Likewise for the music from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I believe that in the end one really has to resort to the ultimate reference, namely the original recording (which is true in many other instances of 'original recordings'), and then the 20th anniversay colector's edition of this soundtrack on Columbia/Legacy (truly unmissable, this veritable classic of sci-fi/film music soundtracks!).

But all in all this 4CD-collection amounts to probably being the penultimate high quality sci-fi music album collection (I certainly know of no other project that comes as close quality as well as quantity wise), with some of the most memorable musical moments from classic to modern sci-fi/fantasy film captured in lavish orchestrations.
Collection-wise: five *stars*. Playing: generally four *stars*, sometimes more. The recording quality: five *stars*. The music (qualified on its own merits as film music) and its (re)orchestrations: generally five *stars*. In the end this is all highly recommended, and certainly not to be missed by science fiction and fantasy film music fans. Klaatu barada nikto.

5 out of 5 stars Muisic of the Spheres.......2006-11-06

You wonderful four disk collection of SF music. It startsa up the the grand master of SF music, 2001: A space Odyssey all the way to Superman. This is all American SF music and several themes I would have liked to have included are not there. All in all though, a collection you will enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars The Ulllllltimate Sci-Fi Music Collection.......2005-10-23

If one person gives great gifts, it's the illustrious Codemaster Talon. I've received a fair number of gifts in my lifetime, but so far, my older sister's take the cake. Take this one for instance. I'm real big on orchestral music, to the point where I listen to them more than any other kind of music. I've got orchestral versions of video game themes, orchestral soundtracks to truck-loads of anime shows (Big O, Escaflowne, and Giant Robo are incredible), and could probably spend the rest of my life just trying to study the nuances of all the classical music I've got. Being such a huge fan of orchestral music, I also have come to believe that orchestra music produced for movies and television is the new classical music (or as someone once said, Mozart would be making music for movies if he were alive today). Being a huge sci-fi fan, that kind of music has always been particularly near and dear to my heart. But were I to buy each and every soundtrack for every sci-fi I liked it would cost quite a bundle, and would include a lot of sub-par music along with the grandiose and fantastic main and memorable themes. That's where this beauty comes in.

The moment I ripped off the shrink-wrap and popped it into my cd player was a moment of great trepidation. Believe me when I tell that I've seen my fair share of sub-par orchestral recording in my lifetime. Very often they are in those big super-packs of music, and suffer from poor direction, improper mastering, and sometime even pathetic orchestration (or worse yet have something sounding like a cheap synthesizer and a kazoo in place of a full orchestra). I needn't have worried though. This sucker is fantastic.

Many people who are not audiophiles will probably miss the point of this cd collection. It is not the original versions of the pieces. It is re-orchestrations, mostly by the phenomenal Prague Symphony Orchestra. Many of these themes didn't sound all that hot in there original versions because they were low budget films or were not recorded in high-fidelity. Here they are given the full treatment, mastered with the most loving care imaginable. Often the version found in these cds is SUPERIOR to the original.

Remember the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Of course you do. But how many times have you heard a cheap imitation of the original version from the movie, starting too low in volume and ending too high (and missing the essential pipe-organ that gives it that extra oomph)? Well, this first track in the entire collection is not only everything it should be instrumental and timing-wise, but it also has been oh-so-carefully adjusted during the mastering process so that at no time is the music either too low or too high in volume (surely a benchmark for every other recording ever to be made of the piece).

Or what about the theme from the (at-the-time) uber-creepy The Black Hole? The orchestration of this piece of music goes from tiumphant to terrifying and back again, with a splendor and cleanness that I CERTAINLY don't remember being in the original recording.

Then there's the new version of the theme from Independence Day, complete with a violin solo, a far more electrifying ending climax, and a chorus so thunderous that you feel like applauding at the end. Simply indescribable. Kind of like the MIND-BLOWING rendition of the theme from The Last Star Fighter. This has been one of my favorite themes for a long time now, but I've never heard it played like this. I think the original version of the theme is something like 1 minute long, but this new version doesn't just fade out (HAHAHAHA!!!!) THIS version is THREE minutes long, goes through the main theme THREE times, with the final strains being so triumphant and joyous I could not help but feel an electrifying charge the first dozen or so times (come to think of it, I still feel that way). This is superior to the original in EVERY way. AWESOME.

And let's not forget the incredible new rendition of Stargate with it's heavy use of clarinets (for Egyptian effect!) and a triumphant new ending (completely lacking the chanting from the original version. This version is so different that for the first minute it is very hard to tell that it is in fact Stargate. But then the main theme kicks in, and then you get this incredible flute solo for my favorite part of theme (the whole thing is played slower, but arguably more powerfully than the original). My goodness. At first I found the thing so different I didn't like it. But then I listened to it again. And again. And again.

I could go on and on, talking about the fantastic new rendition of Moon Raker, the ear-popping Battlestar Galactica, the classic Star Trek (First Contact has a minute or two of the theme from Star Trek:The Motion Picture before going into the main theme), or the sweet renditions of music from the Star Wars movies (or the music from E.T.).

I have to mention though that this collection was not picked based merely on what people want, or on what is popular. No, the people who made it obviously thought a GOOD music collection was better than a popular one. That's why you get a heartbreakingly beautiful theme from A.I. instead of the main theme. It's why you get music from movies that you probably never gave a second thought to the music (because the movie was lousy). It's why you get Armageddon, Judge Dredd, and Robocop (who would have guessed their music was so COOL when there was all that crazy action and bad-acting going on on-screen).

I said it before and I'll say it again. This cd-set was mastered with tender-loving-care, and it shows BIG-TIME. High-fidelity the likes of which I have not seen since the days when cds were brand-new in the world. Dolby Surround. Perfectly balanced. BEAUTIUFL orchestrations. About the only thing that makes me scratch my head is the weird sound-effect tracks (Oooookay.....). Other than that, it's PERFECT. Obviously they could not include every sci-fi theme ever (no one can), but this collection is REALLY GOOD. A lot of great themes that got away (forgotten gems :), new versions of old favorites, and under-appreciated classics aplenty, but ALWAYS the full and complete versions with nothing cut-out (the theme from Dune is quite extended).

If you love movie music (and sci-fi movie music in particular) you MUST buy this awesome collection). It is not the original recordings. Almost always the new ones are better (if they aren't better they're just equal). This is what you have been waiting for. I for one am going to be buying quite a few cds from this company in the future. Give your ears the treat they deserve. Buy it NOW.

5 out of 5 stars SciFi Album gift.......2005-07-20

I bought the Science Fiction Album as a gift for my son who is twenty-one years old. He is a musician, and also a huge fan of many SciFi shows and movies. I thought this would be the perfect thing for him and I was right. He loves it!

3 out of 5 stars Away From to be a Collectible Peace.......2004-12-16

If you like Sci-Fi movies and want a compilation of their important scores, this is the CD-set to buy. But let me warn you about that very few songs in the cds are from the original soundtracks. Most of them is re-recorded by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. But the sound quality of cds are very good, because they have HDCD and Dolby Surround labels. This set is away from to be a collectible peace, but it is a good general compilation of favorite Sci-Fi movie scores.

Album Description

The Transporter, the movie, was a Top 5 box office action smash. In the sequel, Jason Statham returns in his signature role as ex-Special Forces operative Frank Martin, aka "The Transporter." Now "retired" in Miami, Frank makes a living as a driver for a wealthy family, including their young son, with whom he has unexpectedly bonded. But when the boy is abducted you just know Frank is going to take action. He uses all of his special skills to bring the boy to safety and discover the kidnapper's master plan.

Musically, the soundtrack to Transporter 2 features just the sort of driving music you'd expect to propel a top notch action flick. First up to kick some ass is cast member Kate Nauta, who checks in with the funk rocking "Revolution." From the UK, the Servant first got attention in the U.S. via the much demanded instrumental for the "Sin City" movie trailer. That song, "Cells", was unavailable on the "Sin City" soundtrack and is present here in its vocal version. It combines a moody trip hop instrumental track with upbeat Oasis/Electric Light Orchestra type choruses and joins a second song by The Servant, "Body," on this cd. From France via Indonesia, beautiful songstress Anggun contributes "Saviour"--she's been an international music lovers favorite since her consistently superb 1998 cd, "Snow On The Sahara". Next it's off to the Isle of Skye, Scotland where electronic dance music wizard Mylo hails from. "Paris Four Hundred," from 2004's "Destroy Rock & Roll" release, showcases his diverse influences which range from Daft Punk and Prince to the Scissor Sisters. Refusing to stick to one basic style, the mid-20s Mylo was called "Scotland's answer to Royksopp" by England's "The Face" magazine. Perhaps the best known artist here is France's acclaimed "abstract hip hop" DJ Cam with "Voodoo Child Starring Afu Ra" remixed by Gangstarr's own DJ Premier. And Sin bring the almost mandatory industrial track with the appropriate "Painful".

Rounding out the TVT Records soundtrack are two bonus tracks from new artists, The Strays and The Cinematics. Tiny Dingwall, Scotland is the home to the Cinematics, who bring their Stephen Hague (Blur, New Order) produced big pop/rock sound on "Chase." The Strays came from Athens, London and Los Angeles to record the rocking "Life Support".

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2006-07-22

First, the positive aspects of this soundtrack. Unlike the first Transporter soundtrack, for the second movie there is only one, not two separate soundtracks (a "music inspired by" and the original soundtrack) and results in less frustration. Unlike the first soundtrack ("music inspired by", the only one sold in the US), this one actually contains some of the score that the composer used in the movie and isn't all hip-hop. Most of whom bought the original "music inspired by" soundtrack for The Transporter felt highly disappointed because they thought it contained the score, which it didn't and had little to do with the feel of the movie. You can only get the original soundtrack for The Tranporter online (it isn't sold here in the States).

Secondly, the cons. The sequel differed dramatically from the original in terms of overall style and feel. This was carried over to the soundtrack. Unlike the score by Stanley Clarke that sounded like a James Bond movie and the fantastic beats by DJ Pone & Drixxxe found in the first movie's soundtrack, the sequel's soundtrack is less instrumental when compared with the original, and there is only one DJ track with lyrics. The Transporter 2 soundtrack instead has more rock like tracks (pardon me if it isn't exactly rock or hip-hop, I find the neverending classifications of music nowadays to be overly complicated). You should also know that 3 of the songs in the Transporter 2's soundtrack was played during the credits, which felt irrelevant. Watch the original movie, and Nadia's "Life of a Stranger" fits in with the movie perfectly at the end, unlike the sequel's, which felt like it couldn't wait for the movie to be over with. To all those who have played the PC game "No One Lives Forever", there are snippets of the score in the sequel that reminded me of the game.

In conclusion, I was very disappointed at not only the soundtrack but the movie as well when measured against the original. There are a few good tracks on the CD, but it isn't worth buying the CD just for those few good tracks. Very few of the tracks can be thought of as good driving music. Watch the original movie and listen to the original score; the music there is actually good for driving.

FYI:
The music that you hear in movies are usually mixed. Therefore when you buy the soundtrack, it may not sound exactly as it did in the movie. Also a movie's soundtrack doesn't contain 100% of the music heard in the movie. In this movie, there is a track called "Ready for War, Read for Whut?" that isn't in the soundtrack. There is at least one terrific track in the original movie that's perfect for driving but it isn't on any of the soundtracks.

3 out of 5 stars Song.......2006-05-08

There was a song that was played when Frank was driving the taxi on the freeway and when he arrived at the "Drug Dealers" house. It didn't ahve any words but i can't seem to find the name can someone help me out

4 out of 5 stars Azaria scores a big one.......2006-02-01

To me, the best part of this soundtrack is the orchestral cues by Azaria. This is the most exciting scoring I have heard since John Barry went into retirement.
Without question, Azaria should score the next Bond film.

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first movie's soundtrack.......2006-01-18

First off, no, the song in the trailers is not on this album. The album, however, isn't a total waste. I'd say slightly more than half the tracks are pretty good. My personal fav is Kate Nauta's song. That girl not only kicks butt in the movie, but she can rock! \m/

Whereas the first movie's album, however, is full of good jams, this one is burdened by the instrumental tracks. The formula they used for the first album worked well and they should've stuck to it. And the song in the trailers should have been included on the soundtrack.

3 out of 5 stars commercial song.......2006-01-18

Actually, the song on the commercial IS "The Slam" by Tobymac. I just saw the commercial and came to see if it was on the soundtrack. Unfortuneately its not. But i just thought i'd let you know, that it is Tobymac not POD even though it kinda sounds like POD, the part in the commercial says..."this is the SLAM this is the one..." so there ya go

Just do a search for "OST Transporter". This is the original movie score CD, more expensive because it is an import, and takes a few weeks to ship.

Look man, techno is music, rap is music, so customers who pay their money for a soundtrack of a movie expect to get ALL the soundtracks that they heard while watching the movie, i dont get you. Ive ben looking for alot of that cool "theme" music from the movie and it just seems a little lame that its not on the soundtrack. Is there a problem with that? People who are looking for ALL the movie tracks wont find what theyre looking for on this CD.

5 out of 5 stars HELP, .......2005-10-10

I'm looking to find out what song it is Franck is listning too when he's first driving through the French Hills, RIGHT before he gets a flat tire. I thought at first it was "Serenity" off the UK soundtrack, but it's not. Can anyone PLEASE help me out?

1 out of 5 stars Thank you for informative reviews.......2005-09-02

I don't understand why a CD that's supposed to be a movie soundtrack doesn't have the music from the movie! I learned to beware of soundtracks "inspired by" the movie. Shame, but thanks to everyone here, I didn't make a mistake in buying it. And thanks to Amazon for listing tracks here, too. Helps prevent unhappy customers. Now I'm looking for the soundtrack to Transporter 2 here. Hopefully it will really be music from the movie! Can we use Amazon.UK just like the one here? They'll charge my card and handle all that money conversion stuff? Thanks!

1 out of 5 stars Yo yo yo yo, Holla!.......2005-08-22

Read the track list before you buy. The American version is the Hip-hop version.

If you're looking for the track that plays during the "Bank robbery car chase" search LIMEWIRE or BitTorrent for 'DJ Pone' or 'The Chase'. If you want the track during the big fight scene in the bus garage search for 'DJ Pone' or 'Fighting Man'. Also check out DJ Pone showcasing his shiz in the group "Birdy Nam Nam". I think Amazon has the album or go to www.BirdyNamNam.com.

Pone's 2 tracks made the movie for me. Everything else I heard was just disposable hip-hop noise. You can also check www.amazon.co.uk (Amazon in the United Kingdom). I believe that they have a different soundtrack for this same movie.

Yeah, I'm a freeloading, downloading, scumbag... but I can't seem to find these tracks anywhere else.

4 out of 5 stars The REAL "Transporter" soundtrack.......2006-08-01

This is the REAL "Transporter" soundtrack! The "soundtrack" released in the U.S. has nothing to do with the film. If you loved the original musical score from the film, this is the CD you are looking for.

The soundtrack contains Stanley Clarke's 7 instrumental tracks and the 5 electro-rock tracks from D.J. Pone & Drixxxé and Replicant that make up the original score. Also included is Nadia's "Life of a Stranger" that is played during the closing credits of the film. The CD is expensive but it is worth it if you are a huge fan of "the Transporter" score.
Actual Track Listing:
1. Mission- Stanley Clarke
2. Serenity- Stanley Clarke
3. Franck Tries To Leave- Stanley Clarke
4. Transfighter- Replicant
5. Fighting Man- D.J. Pone & Drixxxé
6. Love Rescue- Replicant
