Don't get ripped off.......2006-10-21

Well...I have only one thing to say about this soundtrack selection. Whoever created this soundtrack was on "CRACK!" and needs to be removed from the music industry. I mean how can the "Main" score in the movie not in the soundtrack selection? This is like going to Disneyland and not see Mickey but Bugs Bunny? (No ofense to Bugs. I love you :p) Too bad I found this review way too late till after I have purchased it. (for $0.01) I think this soundtrack ain't worth listening to or better yet...to be looked at. For the price I've paid, I think I got ripped off.

BTW if anyone know where I can get my hands on the movie version of "When Johnny came marching Home" the acoustic version and also the Man's Chore version. Please share with the world. I think the people of the world will be very happy to find that someone do care for another's love for "GOOD MUSIC". :D

Warning.......2003-04-30

A collection of "ethnic" rap tunes and some poorly played classical pieces are the sum total of this horrible CD. Be warned that in the movie "When Johnny Came Marching Home" is played continuously but is no where to be found in the Soundtrack.
While the soundtrack does have Beethoven's 9th symphony it is played so horribly that it does not make this a worthy purchase.
Buyer beware.

Kamen with a vengeance.......2003-03-13

The best way to describe the music in this score is to listen to Die Hard 2: Die Harder, as a lot of the material used in that score is used in this one. With under 30 minutes of score, most of the music consists of songs and 2 lengthy classical pieces by Brahms and Beethoven. "Goodbye Bonwits" is mainly ominous in nature with hints of the Die Hard theme. "John and Zeus" begins like the last one, but then goes into action mode with racing strings. "Papaya King" contains lots of strings, some low-key pianos, and quotes of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" by the brass. "Take A-Nother Train" quotes the famous Die Hard theme again and contains loads of powerful brass and driving string rhythms. "Waltz of the Bankers" contains ominous strings and flute rhythms played over marching snare drums. "Gold Vault" is almost mickey-moused sounding at the beginning, but then goes into Kamen's usual punctuating strings. "Surfing the Aquaduct" is an exciting action cue that is very reminiscent of many of the action cues in "Die Hard 2: Die Harder", with frantic strings, pounding brass quoting the Die Hard theme, and driving percussion. A nice edition to this score is a classical piece by Alexi Mosolov titled, "The Iron Foundry", which is an exciting orchestral work that sounds a lot like something Michael Kamen would write. The songs can basically be forgotten, except for "Summer in the City" by The Lovin' Spoonful. Overall, a great score, while not as good as the other two, still holds its ground and sounds great outside the film.

A poor soundtrack.......2002-03-25

For some reason this soundtrack has completely missed the mark. There are some songs on it, but mostly rap, (Thank god they included Summer In The City by The Loving Spoonful), some classical pieces, but I don't recall Beethoven's Ninth being in the movie, and some additional score. If you're looking for a soundtrack with a cool collection of songs, you're in the wrong place. If you're a "real" soundtrack collector, you'll be disappointed that the "Ants Go Marching" theme, which was featured so prominently in the film, can't be found anywhere on this soundtrack.

About half the CD consists of score, and since the original "Die Hard" album was never commercially released ... the only real reason for buying this album is to get as much of the legendary "Die Hard" score as possible... And now they've even stopped printing this album...

This was the best of the 3.......1999-07-15

This was the only one of the three movies that I think had a good soundtrack. It had some good rap songs like "Summer in the City" and I don't usualy like rap too much. The soundtrack is one of the better ones but still does not get much recognition.
