Amazon.com

The original 1968 Planet of the Apes inspired a whole cycle of sequels, a television series, and this modern Tim Burton revamp. It also contained one of sci-fi's most original and haunting scores, composed by the great Jerry Goldsmith. In scoring his dark take on the story, Burton again turned the reigns over to longtime collaborator Danny Elfman, who promptly pays tribute to Goldsmith in the "Main Titles" (echoing the original's ethereal, descending glissandos), then sets about conjuring a marauding orchestral action score that's as fierce as it is relentless. With echoes of the dramatic tension of his Batman scores for Burton, this flourish-filled simian symphony nonetheless seems distinctly melody-challenged; not a bad thing per se in the genre, but still a far cry from Goldsmith's masterful, spare balance of dynamics and color. "The Return" offers up some respite from the Sturm und Drang but then succumbs to the era's favorite classical rip-off, er, "tribute"--Holst's Mars, the Bringer of War--while the percussion-driven "Main Title Deconstruction" grandly succeeds on more Goldsmithian terms. DJ-king-cum-modern-film-scorer Paul Oakenfold (Swordfish) concludes the album with a fresh, compelling mix of music and dialogue that gives Elfman his due and then some; a more proactive collaboration offers promise. -Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars Nice & Beaty.......2005-08-13

This sounds like nothing else I've run across on this continent. Not that I've heard anything on another continent. Don't get out much. But this makes me want to. The techno track is dope as hell too. So quit reading this, you damn dirty human...and go buy it. You won't regret the movement it'll put in your primordial soul.

5 out of 5 stars A Different Kind Of Elfman.......2005-07-27

First of all, this CD is rather different from previous Elfman/Burton projects. It is very loud, percussive, bombastic, and clangy. Second of all, this CD takes the loud, bombastic tracks, and mixes them with Elfman's original fun style.

The result is an extremely creative and fun CD to listen to. It is dark and loud sometimes, but mixed with Elfman's manic style, this CD is the one of the most unique soundtracks of all time.

2 out of 5 stars "Not worth the plastic it's recorded on".......2002-04-29

Unlike the actual film, Danny Elfman's composition for the new Planet of the Apes is repetitive, unimaginative and most of all mind-numbingly dull. Elfman, best known for his dark, gloomy and brooding contributions to such Tim Burton flicks as Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands, seems to have his hands full trying to recapture the melodramatic spectacle of Jerry Goldsmith's classic 1968 soundtrack, so much so that his "tribute" to him in the "Main Title Deconstruction" seems nothing more than a blatant rip-off of Goldsmith's mysterious masterpiece. At the same time, Elfman also tries to recreate the gripping tension of his Batman pieces and seems to invoke a composition that is brutal as it is unrelenting, but turns out to be, on the other hand, nothing more than melody-challenged. While not a total disaster (the opening main titles is an instant pleaser), the album does suffer from boredom, and deafening boredom at that. We've come to expect more from such a highly rated composer. That said, probably the most enjoyable track on the CD isn't by Elfman, but by DJ king and sometime film composer Paul Oakenfeld (soundtrack composer for the Travolta vehicle Swordfish), who wraps up the soundtrack with a mix of music and dialogue from the film that seems to recall sounds executed by the Chemical Brothers on the Fight Club score. Despite Oakenfeld's excellent salvage, the Planet of the Apes soundtrack isn't even worth the plastic it was recorded on.

5 out of 5 stars Elfman scores(!) again.......2002-04-19

I hadn't seen the movie when I bought the soundtrack. Once again, the evocative music inspired me to see the movie when it came out on DVD.

How to describe this composition? I think it struck a chord in my primate heritage. It is stirring, hitting your primal instincts with the visceral percussion at times. Yet it is shamelessly erotic in the very next movement. It can invoke tears of empathy, while in another passage you almost want to join in the militaristic cadence.

It's fun stuff, moving, and another Elfman score...(tiresome pun intended.)

5 out of 5 stars Really Cool!.......2002-03-18

Danny Elfman gave all of us the most haunting and compelling score of all of his career. It amazing and percussive and cool, for lack of a better word. Danny Elfman is a friggin' genius and he will always live through his amazing scores. Goldsmith gave us the sparing score. The "Main Titles" of his is very mysterious and Danny's is hard and gritty, very reminiscent of "Batman", with the huge gong at the end. I loved it.

The entire Planet of the Apes saga eventually spanned five films and a short-lived TV series. But the original is still the best, even if it's hard to decide what's more memorable, Jerry Goldsmith's inventively modern score or the sight of Charlton Heston in a loincloth. We're sticking with Goldsmith, if only for the bold resourcefulness he showed in creating a new musical idiom--ethnic Ape. Rife with complex percussive flourishes and tinged with haunting instrumental moans, Goldsmith's score remains a singular science-fiction classic. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars A Real Turning Point in Motion Picture Soundtracks.......2005-02-24

I'm sure other reviews will discuss instrumentation, so I'll pass on that one. I will just tell you that I this score was so impressive that I loved it EVEN when the only version I'd ever known of was the trebly Project 3 release which only featured about 25 minutes of music. Acquiring this full-length release is absolute confirmation.
Who could've ever thought that experimental "cacophony" and melody could be cross-bred to create something so appealing and instantly memorable? You'll find after listening to it once that, upon the next listening, you remember the themes.
A Goldsmith classic, and truly THE turning point in film score history!

4 out of 5 stars Ape Music.......2004-05-11

I enjoy this sound track. It's fast past most of the time and the music is by Jerry Goldsmith. This is the original movie and Escape music. Not the newer one with Mark in it.
This sound track is more filling and is more simple. It's orchestra through the whole thing and the music is very powerful.

5 out of 5 stars One of the greatest film scores!.......2002-10-28

This score to the landmark 1968 SF film "Planet of the Apes" is a landmark itself. This is one of the most avant-garde scores ever produced for a mainstream Hollywood movie. It creates excellently just the right mood and sense of the eerie that the film requires. Rarely has a score so fit a film like hand-in-glove. This is Jerry Goldsmith at his innovative best. The CD does a very good job of reproducing the vintage recordings from the 35mm session tapes. One track, "Crash Landing," includes music not heard in the released print. The score can very much be listened to without ever having seen the film, every track a beautiful example of seemingly atonal composition that will remind you of modernist composers such as Bartok and Stravinsky.
The CD also includes a suite from Goldsmith's score to the second APES sequel, "Escape from the Planet of the Apes." While this music didn't have the same job to accomplish that the previous score did, it remains an enjoyable listen for anyone who loves the film music of Jerry Goldsmith

4 out of 5 stars A Must Buy for Film Score Enthusiasts.......2002-09-05

I received my Planet of the Apes soundtrack today. It's a great soundtrack from a socially-relevant (even today) film.

Additionally, the only film with so great an ending was The Sixth Sense.Anyway...

The first part of this Varese Sarabande realease includes music from the first film.

The second part includes music from Escape from the POA.

The cover on this one is like a movie poster illustration, and the overall release is better than the one that was released with a cover that was largely white in its background and pictured a bamboo cage. (I have that previous release on cassette. You don't want it. The one I just got includes the entire score and replaces 8 cues and/or full orchestrations missing from my earlier version. This newer one is much better.)

The only bad things are:

The 1953 Fox fanfare music (it sounds bad); and

Half of the music from Escape from the POA (the first part is too sixties-ish - it just doesn't fit in with the origianl score - the rest of Escape is good Goldsmith).

The liner notes are good, provided one understands musical terms like pizzicato. If not, the stills from the films are pretty cool.

The score is certainly modernist. If you like lush scores with recognizable melodies and classical-like orchestrations, this is not one for you. It's jungle-like and chaotic.

On the other hand, if you like film music that helps you recall the actions and emotions in the film - well, then this one is a keeper. I couldn't imagine going camping or rafting in the wilds without it.

Finally, having only recently learned that Charleton Heston has Ahlzheimner's Disease somehow makes this recording that much more precious.

Amazon.com is the best thing since...well, nothing. Amazon.com is in a class by itself!!! Thanks for a great service!!!

5 out of 5 stars When artists depended on their talent, not hi-tech gimmicks.......2001-08-16

If you're like the reviewer who gave this soundtrack one star and recommended that you wait for the inferior 2001 remake, then you prefer your film soundtracks full of pretentious and uncreative electronic gimmickry, lazy scoring, and forgettable instrumentation that sounds just like every other film at your local multiplex. Modern audiences have been taught to enjoy only bland, cheap, homogenous music that requires no real effort or creativity. If, however, you require film music that actually attempts to guide you thru the film's themes and plot, that uses innovative techniques, that treats you with some intelligence, then this soundtrack is for you. I have always felt that Goldsmith is far superior to John Williams and easily one of the finest film composers *ever*. I put him right alongside my favorite film composer: Bernard Herrman. This is clearly one of Goldsmith's best.

5 out of 5 stars The madness of the music only depicts what happens AFTER a bomb and is NOT supposed to be space exploraton drama music.......2005-10-05

We all know(after watching the first Ape film) that The Apes, in fact, are not from another planet after all, but from a post appocoliptic Earth. This score is ingenious in that it is contrast to Goldsmith's romantical drama music of discovery and heroism.(as he did in Time Machine with Rod Taylor). The theme song is by far the best in that it's eerie bass sounds depict a ghostly vistage of the Earth(stark Landscapes)as we know it after a horrible war. The schizo-ism is that the Earth is out of character(very appropriate for this movie) twisted into a world of remeinent(almost revenant) civilisation bordering on insanity and total misconception of what they once were(as in the mutants). Trying to explain why one would like this sort of theme of a story or the music in it is very difficult, if not impossible, and it would be extremely rude to ask "why" and in closing I will therefore say in all simplicity: ENJOY!

4 out of 5 stars 'More like a collage than a score!.......2005-01-13

Leonard Rosenman had some large shoes to fill, following in the footsteps of Jerry Goldsmith who scored the first "Ape" film. Rosenman decided to expand on the "otherworldly" orchestrations of Goldsmith's original composition and blow the top off of them. This score had to be different inasmuch as not only did the story have a conflict between man and ape, it dealt with war, the bomb, the generation gap, and mutants. It is that abundance of subject matter of which many critics found fault in the film, thinking the film to be too schizophrenic.

"Schizoprehinic" might be the best word to describe the score, too, with its abundance of sound effects, dissonat orchestratral arrangements, "doomsday" choruses, and dialogue bits interspered throughout the LP version, presented here along with two bonus tracks.

5 out of 5 stars You owe Tom Scott a listen.......2006-07-26

This compilation of the fourth and fifth of the ape movies presented quite a surprise to this listener.

Lenoard Rosenman's score to Battle for the Planet of The Apes is what kept the film from completely falling into the kiddie pool, and is presented here in very good condition. The haunting final queue (only the dead) is as powerful when presented alone, as it is in the film with John Huston's cameo dialog.

The wonderful surprise in this album is found in the original score for Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, by Tom Scott.

Until I heard this recording I had considered the fourth film to be, from a musical perspective, interesting but in the end poorly executed. I had previously attributed it to the combination that Tom Scott was just getting started in the genre, that I was comparing his work to that of Goldsmiths, and that the audio quality of the film never seemed to be that great (even in the DVD's).

When I heard this album and what Tom Scott's original version of the score was and vision of what it could have been; my opinion was completly changed -- this could have been a score equal in weight to the rest of the series, if the film makers had just used more of it in the film. Perhaps it was last minute recutting on the part of the producers (which from what I have seen and read about the Conquest film happened in several scenes), or lack of confidence in a then 24 year old composer, but some of the best material was replaced with stock recordings from previous ape films. It happens even to legends in the film-scoring world (look at Alex North with 2001, or Jerry Goldsmith with Legend or Alien), and at the end of the day that's the movie business, but it still seems unfair.

We owe it to Tom Scott to hear what he intended for us to hear, and what represents the start of another branch of this under appreciated musicians eclectic career.

4 out of 5 stars Leonard Rosenman's Best Ape Score.......2006-05-26

Leonard Rosenman's score for BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES is very good. It is a real departure from his BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES. BENEATH sounded more like his music for TV's COMBAT series (not a bad thing) while BATTLE is quite distinctive and gives this film a much needed drive to carry it. The CONQUEST score sounds good on it's own but lacks the connection of not having that Jerry Goldsmith sound or Rosenman's unique sound as well. However, this is a very good CD.

4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly enjoyable........2005-01-08

Jerry Goldsmith's landmark score for the original Apes remains an unmatched benchmark for the series. With that being understood, you can begin to enjoy and appreciate the scores for the later films, particularly these two entries. While Rosenman's contributions to Beneath and even here in Battle are a bit too deliberately "atonal" for my taste, there's still some great listening, particularly the Battle march segments. But the real find on this disc is Tom Scott's score for Conquest. While in many ways the sound is more trapped in the seventies than the other Apes scores (with perhaps Goldmith's Escape as another contender), there's still a lot here to enjoy. And for me, the seventies feel actually enhances the listening experience. Conquest as a whole remains underappreciated and Scott's score received short shrift in the final cut. But here, apart from the film, it conveys a certain charm and power that make it one of the more listenable of the Apes scores. Definitely worth the money for Apes fans, but more general film score buffs will get some enjoyment from it as well.

    4 out of 5 stars An oldie but a goodie.......2002-11-11

    I had no idea that this score was ever going to be re-released until the day I happened to see it on the shelves. I had never heard the music before, so I decided to give it a chance thinking it's Jerry Goldsmith so it must be good. And it is. Jerry Goldsmith is the one composer that I own the most scores of. The sound of this is nothing like the contemporary sound of Goldsmith that we are used to today. So do not get this thinking it will sound like present tense Goldsmith style because it is not quite like that. Some aspects are if you listen closely. For the most part, the music is very percussive with odd synthesizer sounds poking in here and there. The piano, which Goldsmith uses a lot for suspense is also present in several cues. An orchestra is also used buried underneath the percussion, when it is present. The "Main Title" percussion rhythms remind me of John Williams' Star Wars score in some of the tracks, though i'm not sure which tracks they are. "The Hunt" is probably the best track which contains some funky synthesized rhythms thrown in for effect. "No Escape" contains ape like sounds to accompany the action, which you might end up laughing at. The last 3 tracks do not really leave an impression as the others do and the CD stops without warning or a big ending or anything. Only 35 minutes of music are present which is good enough, considering that this soundtrack was first released in 1968 and was nominated for an oscar. Kudos to Masters record company for re-releasing a classic score by one of my favorite composers.

      While this was released by the same company as Fantasy Dreams (Vol. 1.) this is not performed by the same band/person. While Fantasy Dreams (Vol. 1) included wonderful re-arranged renditions on classic film themes performed by Metasonica, this CD is simply compiled by cheezy synthesized tracks from various budget compilations.
