The Outer Limits: Original Television Score (1995-98 Television Series) [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
John Van Tongeren's score for The Outer Limits series is almost subliminal. Paralleling the show's surreal, intellectual qualities, the composer builds suspense through subdued tension rather than bombastic orchestral attacks, though there are a few of those. The overall musical effect emphasizes a surreptitious approach to getting under your skin. Considering those parameters, The Outer Limits becomes more effective as creepy background audio than an active, sit-down listening experience. Aside from two versions of the main theme, eight episodes are represented in varying degrees. There's also a cool techno remix that effectively chops up and samples the opening narration. --Bryan Reesman

prepare to be mesmerized.......2000-08-24

It has one flaw in it's perfection, in my humble oppinion most of the songs are absolutely meant to exist solely on the background, they set a perfect mood but they never reach beyond that. It's silent and manipulative music that crawls under your skin only to leave you with a strange sense of "what have I just been listening to!"

If you want a cd that is perfect for the background of a silent, moody night or party, most of the songs on this cd will do the trick. If you want a cd that is filled with music that sweeps you off of your feet and impresses you for days to come, then this cd isn't what you've been waiting for. If you're into beautifull mood-setting music or marvelous soundtracks then this is certainly what you've been looking for.

An artistic masterpiece.......2000-06-18
