Amending my own review.......2004-06-28
Johnson's compositions show the diversity of his musical palette. "The Avengers Suite", besides featuring the internationally known theme, also has a two hauntingly beautiful selections: "Theme from 'Pandora'" and "Theme from "'The Joker'". His "The New Avengers Suite" reflects the times with its disco era theme and also shows his flair for jazz with the "Theme from 'Tale of the Big Way'". "Theme from 'Obsession'" is so beautifully layered with lush strings that it induces goose bumps upon an initial hearing. Johnson borrows liberally from "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" in "The Bomb Run" from "Dr. Strangelove".
The big "find" for me is the "Hedda Suite", a composition that compares to John Barry's Bond music and the classic "Born Free". Johnson's passion for music is never more evident than on this selection.
Perhaps, others will discover Johnson and see what a select few and myself have always seen: he is a master movie music craftsman.
A gem of a score to an almost forgotten film!.......2004-06-18
As for me, my "appetite" was quite satisfied for the recording contains the lost gem of Johnson's creative wiles: The First Men in the Moon.
The classic Harryhausen film allows Johnson to be panoramic as well as mysterious as he grandly adapts his music to the Wells story. The score to this movie is up to par with Bernard Herrmann's work on Harryhausen's earlier "Mysterious Island" and "Jason and the Argonauts".
I just hope that there is a full rendition of the score in the not-too-distant future.
We fans deserve it!
Fair Warning to "Avengers" fans..........2001-11-23
To say that it is disappointing, that such a small quantity of music from the original "Avengers" was included on this CD, is a gross understatement. Surely there was more than 9 minutes worth of quality music present, in even a season's worth episodes. This is just a pitifully poor effort. The way the product was produced and packaged makes one question the sincerity of both the studio and the artist. The intent was obviously not to produce a genuine compilation of music from the "Avengers" series. Instead other works by Laurie Johnson are being marketed under the "Avengers" name.
These other works consist of musical selections from "The New Avengers", the 70's revival show, and various other movie soundtracks scored by Laurie Johnson. Included is music from "Dr. Strangelove", "First Men on the Moon", "Hedda" and "Captain Kronos, Vampire Killer". These titles are plainly listed on the cover of the CD, so of course the studio can claim that the buyer should have known what they were getting.
The music from the "New Avengers Suite" is four tracks, totaling 12 minutes. So apparently more quality music was present in the sequel than the original.
The "non-Avengers" music is actually not bad at all, with the selections from "First Men In the Moon" being the most exciting, and "Captain Kronos" coming in second. There is no doubt that Laurie Johnson is a very capable composer, and his other "non-Avengers" music does stand on its own merits. That is not the issue at hand, honesty is.
What is truly disappointing is that this "bait and switch" collection is all there is available. A CD with music exclusively from the original "Avengers" apparently doesn't exist, and that's a shame. Based on the continuing popularity of the show, there is probably adequate economic incentive to put such a collection on the market. Perhaps it may happen.
The music was recorded in 1979-80 and then was apparently first issued in 1980, maybe on vinyl? I have no idea what music was actually on that recording, but the bottom line regarding this particular CD is, do not buy it if you are looking for a decent collection of music from the original "Avengers".
The Best of Laurie Johnson.......2001-05-11

Beautiful music........2007-01-10
5 stars for performance, 4 stars due to omissions.......2006-08-29
"Hammer & Silva...raises the hair on the back of your neck".......2002-04-09
Let's look at Disc Two with the other Hammer themes and their composers ~ "THE
ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN" (1957-Humphrey Searle)..."QUATERMASS II"
(1957-James Bernard)..."CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF" (1960-Benjamin
Frankel)..."CURSE OF THE MUMMY'S TOMB" (1964-Carlo Martelli)..."SHE"
(1965-James Bernard)..."ONE MILLION YEARS B.C." (1966-Mario
Nascimbene)..."WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH" (1969-Mario
Nascimbene)..."HANDS OF THE RIPPER" (1971-Christopher Gunning)..."VAMPIRE
CIRCUS" (1971-David Whitaker)..."VAMPIRE HUNTER" (2000-James
Bernard)...difficult as it may be, there is a stand out ~ "THE CURSE OF THE
WEREWOLF", fine direction from Terence Fisher (director) with an outstanding cast Oliver
Reed (Leon-the Werewolf), Clifford Evans (Alfredo), Yvonne Romain (Servant Girl) and
Catherine Feller (Christina), Hammer's departure from the old stereotype of the beast is
refreshing, Reed's performance as the tormented sole, from man to wolf is touching, the score
by Ben Frankel is tense building at it's best, to say the least, setting the tone and mood for the
transformation with counterpoints is stimulating, inclusive orchestration development for what
lies ahead during a full moon.
Without a doubt the highlight pick hands down is "SHE", composer James Bernard gives of
himself without question, the SUITE takes the orchestra into lilting melodic exercises with
percussion chiming in, the harmonies are hypnotic blends of textured fabric, listen as The
Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Alwyn display stirring strings and
a solo harp run the scales in "THE ETERNAL FLAME AND THE DESTRUCTION OF
SHE", hold-fast arrangement has haunting echoes of Bernard's constant theme, with a final
beat from a drum in the percussion section.
Must make mention the cast of players that made this possible ~ The Philharmonia Orchestra,
The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, The Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra ~ and
their various conductors Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, Nic Raine and Neil
Richardson...supported by the illustrious staff from Silva Screen Records LTD ~ Reynold da
Silva (executive producer), David Stoner (associate producer), Gareth Williams (Dolby
Surround/HDCD Mastering) and of course James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), who
has the knack of developing quality in every Silva Screen release...similar to "A History Of
Horror:From Nosferatu To The Sixth Sense" (SSD-1111/2CD Set), guaranteed to raise the
hair on the back of your neck!
Total Time: Disc One 68:01 on 14 Tracks & Disc Two 68:46 on 14 Tracks ~ Silva Screen
Records SSD-357 ~ (2002)

LOVE THE SHOW LOVE THE MUSIC.......2004-04-11
Good music.......2004-04-10
Included on the track is a Japanese song that I think was originally in the Japanese theatrical release and played at the end of the movie...whereas in the American release we had the conglomeration of the soundtrack's different highlights. It's got a very pop feel to it, and might feel out of place to some. I actually don't listen to it too often, but on occasion. Otherwise, I'll just switch over to "Grove."
If you liked the movie and thought the soundtrack was good, then by all means get this CD. It only makes sense, right?
Mmmmm. . ..music.......2003-12-26
I consider it a very good soundtrack with heart. And I mean soundtrack in that it holds its own against other intrumental soundtracks, not just in the anime genere.
