A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

In The Middle Of A Sonic BRAINSTORM.......2003-12-30

One of the strengths of Douglas Trumbull's criminally neglected 1983 science fiction/suspense thriller BRAINSTORM is the innovative music score that the young James Horner provided. Varese-Sarabande, to its credit, has put this twenty year-old film's soundtrack back into circulation for all to listen to.

Getting extremely able assistance from the London Symphony Orchestra, Horner devises a score of classical, choral, and dissonant elements that melds perfectly with this film's story of a device that can transfer the thoughts, sights, and smells of one person to the mind of another, but is then used for sinister purposes by the government. This is one of Horner's earliest big-screen efforts, and one can see even at this stage the genius that would come to even greater prominence with scores to APOLLO 13, TITANIC, and BRAVEHEART.

A Must for any Hornerphile.......2002-04-15

One of the most notable things about this soundtrack is that it not only was it a digital recording--a rarity in 1983, the year of its release--but it was also recorded direct to two-track digital. As a result, very little is hidden. A perfect example of this is in one of the albums most beautiful tracks, "Michael's Gift to Karen." If you listen closely during the piano and harp pizzicato section, you can hear the musicians coughing, shifting in their seats, picking up their instruments and even rustling their sheet music!

In other tracks, such as the bombastic "Lillian's Heart Attack" and "Race For Time," we hear the first appearances of musical themes that would appear in Horner's later works like "Aliens" and "Clear and Present Danger."

In short, this is one CD that no true James Horner fan should be without, but it is not easy to find, as it was briefly taken out of print by Varese Sarabande.

excellent.......2001-12-17

Although I do not own this cd yet I have seen the movie many times just to hear the music. It has a haunting quality that many of James Horners music has. This particular music is some of his best.

"Douglas Trumbull's sci-fi thriller...James Horner's score".......2001-05-29

This 1983 sci-fi thriller from director Douglas Trumbull is a special effect and cinematographers dream come true. Great story-line, being able to record your dreams, thoughts or even fantasies and then play them back. Interesting cast of players...Christopher Walken, Cliff Robertson, Louise Fletcher and Natalie Wood, in her last film before her fatal accident. But none of this would work without an exceptional score, and this "film-score-buffs" is where our composer ~ James Horner comes in.

May I mention the stand outs ~ "MAIN TITLE", choral blending, brass underscore and shrieking brass amplifying the breaking of glass ~ "MICHAEL'S GIFT TO KAREN", pulsating strings transformed through a classical suite mirrored by a brief choral overlay, as a door opens displaying this beautiful minuet string ensemble.

Before this undertaking, Horner composed ~ "Humanoids from the Deep" (1980), "Wolfen" (1981), "48 Hrs." (1982) and his masterpiece "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan" in 1982, he was now on his way, playing the game the "big boys" were in...now we have this score...and he's still a young man! What other scores does he have up his sleeve...I wonder?

Total Time: 30:19 on 7 Tracks ~ Varese Sarabande VCD-47215 ~ (1983)

Classic Horner.......2000-07-11

The talents of James Horner mesh wonderfully with the etherial theme of Brainstorm. The listener is taken on a ride from suspense to sorrow to elation, all while in the gentle embrace of Horner's skill. It really is a shame that this CD is so hard to find these days.

Expecting More- Getting Less.......2006-03-16

The sound quality is excellent. The choice in music is disappointing. I can name FOUR Horner movie scores or background music that is breath-taking enough that they should have merited inclusion (but alas were not recorded here).

I don't know the dates when these music pieces were released, but it could have been within a couple of years apart. Why? Because this collection has a few tracks that sound VERY SIMILAR. Hence, this CD does NOT fully explore the extent of this great composer's talent.

nice sampler of Horner's work.......2005-08-15

I had most of these tracks on other CDs, but this is a good sampler of Mr. Horners career on a single CD. There are some tracks which are from Original soundtracks in the Varese back catalogue, but most of hte tracks are re-recorded by the Royal Sottish National and Seattle Symphony Orchestras conducted by Cliff Eidelman, Joel McNeeley and John Debney. Also check out Heart of the Ocean (Sonic Images) and Titanic: Essential James Horner Collection (Silva America) for other overviews on Mr. Horner's career.

James Horner as Best Movie Composer.......2000-02-05

To say that James Horner is the most talented soundtrack composer would be an understatement. To my count he has written more than 10 scores. The score for Titanic is as exciting as it is relaxing. This soundtrack is so well made, that I bought the second one! Like the movie, each peice on the soundtrack builds up to the climax. If I had it in front of me, I would be sure to give specific examples, but unfortunetly, I don't. However, I will say that the peice, Rose, which I believe is #4, captures the true meanig of this outstanding movie, and therefore proves how well a composer James Horner has proven to be.

James Horner and John Williams are the best!!.......1999-04-08

At one time I belived the one and only great modern day film composer was John Williams, this album proved me wrong. James Horner, to me is still not as good as John Williams, but dangerously close. Horner in this album has basically summed up sum of his gratest songs ever written. The greatest song in this album is either Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn End Titles, the Courage under Fire Theme, or Apollo 13 (The Launch). Some other honorable mentions include Aliens (Futile Escape), Titanic(Southampton,Rose , Take Her to Sea Mr. Murdoch,and Braveheart's End Credits, and Cocoon: The Return (Returning Home). Mr. Horner has done a fabulous job in expressing emotion almost as good as John Wiliiams. These 13 collabarations dsisplay emotions such as hope, fright, compassion, and courage. This albums only problem's were the fact it left out the music of some other of Horner's best work(Land Before Time, Glory, and An American Tale). The album ignored Horner's "Rock" titles which include Red Heat, Commando, and Gorky Park. This has to be one of the must buy's of the year. Two Very Honest Thumbs Up For James Horner and Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Chorus.

James Horner joins John Williams as the 2 greatest composers.......1999-04-07

I have thought John Williams was the number one film composer, but now I think he has met his match (Williams is still number 1). James Horner can display different emotions in all of his music. From the martial tone of Courage Under Fire (one of my favorites) to the mystical feeling of Casper and Cocoon: The Return. There is heart pounding Futile Chase from Aliens, and of course the heart wrenching melodies of Titanic. Braveheart gives you the tone of Scottish (the bagpipes, you can't miss them) victory. Both Brainstorm and Once Around, to me, give the feeling of hope. How do you forget the feeling of sucess in Apollo 13 or the intergalactic victory in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. This is the perfect album if you want to hear just the great songs. Horner brings out the true emotion in films just the same way that John Williams does. The only change I would make is to add a couple songs from Land Before Time in this album. Those songs would put this album to a 5. Two Thumbs Up!
