Great compilation - and that's just the first half........2005-09-14

I first got this on cassette in the summer of '94 and listened to it every day, drawn by its thematic range and compositional depth. And that was just side-one.

Elfman pioneered the sound that drives today's movie adaptations of comic-books and darker-themed children's stories. Side-One kicks things off with a rollicking, hyper-cartoonish theme from the first Pee-Wee movie - the one where Pee-Wee searches for his beloved bike. Elfman's theme contains layers of different rides - on tightropes, highways, in the middle of a NASCAR rally - which rudely yet melodically crash into each other.

The Batman entry actually contains several pieces - the opening credits, the extended sequence in the cathedral and the climax - which show Batman's darkened extreme at its "Frank Miller" best. (Dir. Tim Burton couldn't sustain the mood in the next sequel, and the franchise took a turn towards the camp of the TV series with the next 2 movies.)

The theme for "Dick Tracy" is perhaps the most romantic on this disc, a quality that surpasses the theme's comic-book origins, but ends on an ironic note that's pure Elfman.

"Beetlejuice" (opening & closing credits) gives Elfman's childish ID a chance to stretch its legs, or in this case, slam-dance.

"Nightbreed" is an enigma wrapped in a dark mystery, and that's just Elfman's score. Elfman's work on this movie is as good as the movie wasn't, having a more powerful narrative than the script - easily the best track on the entire disc, one likely to exceed the movie in its dose of chills.

"Darkman" doesn't quite rise to the occasion, though the score may be hobbled by the movie itself, which seldom surpassed one of the many "Batman" clones of the early 1990's. "Darkman" (the movie, I mean) excelled as a parody of many comicbook staples (the wronged hero, the relentless villain, the scientific breakthrough with just one flaw), but not enough to escape being largely anonymous. Within those constraints, it's still a moving if scary piece.

When is Elfman not like Elfman? When he was in the mid-late `80's and scored "Back to School" (A Rodney Dangerfield vehicle) and "Midnight Run". Horns in "School" bring it closer to Elfman's over-the-top style, while "Run" sounds like a love-theme for the run-down, out-of-the-way parts of America that seldom appear in Elfman-movies. "Run" is a fun score for a fun movie - it's nothing like Elfman's previous work but it perfectly captures the on-the-road-without-a-map craziness of the movie.

To this day, I don't know why I never ventured to Side-two, but it's irrelevant. Even half this disc is worth it

The best of Elfman!!!.......2005-09-05

I was obsessed about getting this CD right from when I heard about it. I found it at the library and was so excited about it, and it didn't let me down. In fact, it was a lot better than I expected. It's a fun and creepy (strange mix, but it really works!) collection of Danny Elfman's film and television soundtracks. The first track, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, is probably my favorite. Also, I really like Batman and Wisdom. Batman is creepy and dark, and Wisdom is just weird, in the best possible way.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes film music, or everyone who is even the tiniest bit an Elfman fan. It's amazing!

Great Collection, A LIttle Too Eclectic.......2003-08-19

You should be able to tell from the movies and TV shows listed here whether or not you'd be interested in this collection. It's a little too eclectic for my tastes (hence only 4 stars) but better than volume 2. I think thatthe miscellaneous collected ites here along with the previously unreleased stuff should make this worth buying. Especially if you're a fan of Elfman's movie soundtrack work.

What Great Music.......2003-05-11

I fell in love with the music of Danny Elfman when Beetlejuice came out. There was something different about the music that he made. When Edward Scissorhands, and then Nightmare Before Christmas - I knew this man was a musical master. Its the verbal form of surrealism.

super.......2003-04-17

What a great CD. Danny's music is so original and inventive. this CD contains his pre 90's quirky, gothic music. it's all very well written and beautifully orchestrated. batman and darkman contain some really excellent long, dark, gothic cues that really take u away from reality. in my opinion no one, apart from howard shore, is as inventive and original as danny in the world of filmmusic. he far surpasses the repetitive works of williams or horner. buy this, and volume two, and keep supporting one of the greatest film composers of all time.ohh...and buy fellowship of the ring and two towers by howard shore....amazing work!

easy to get into - not easy to wear out.......2006-12-02

As others have said, this is a very accessible album. It's also a very good one. Great songwriting, vocal harmonies, and production. Runs the gamut from a country song about lying and spousal abuse (sounds grim, actually it's pretty funny) to full on straight-ahead rockers, with generous helpings of that soaring, ethereal Les Paul lead tone. A great album for wide open spaces. Highly recommended!

diverse, inspired and polished.......2006-09-19

My favorite puppets albums are in a car through up on the sun, and then this one and too high to die (their late eighties stuff seems alternately tossed-off and tenatively commercial to me, as opposed to the unrepentant pop gloss of this one). I'm sure it has been said before that this is a great place to start for those new to this band, and I am quite inclined to agree. it is very representative of all the musical genres they had tried so far, with punk, country and heavy metal touches. Curt's singing is positively sublime, particularly on "No Longer Gone" and "Whirlpool". While Nevermind and Ten sound increasingly dated as each year goes by (this is not just in my imagination, right?), this one is always intriguing, funny and beautiful. these guys have been through more horrific s*** than probably 90% of the american population, but they never get whiny or mookish. they simply smile, shrug and move on...very refreshing indeed.

Incredible.......2006-03-22

This album is by far, the best album no one has heard. It is phenonenal all the way through. You will find yourself listening to it over and over again and you will want to listen to it again.

Most Accessible Pups Album.......2005-08-08

Let me begin by saying that I haven't met a Meat Puppets album that I don't like. Forbidden Places is a great album and it was my first Pups purchase. It's the perfect foray (why is it out of print?!?!) into Pup-dom for the new fan because it strikes a great balance betweeen the Pups trademark quirky, un-polished early approach and their relatively over-produced new albums. "Too High" '94 and "Monsters" '99 are good albums but I dislike their "big"-sounding production. The older stuff sounds much more intimate. Huevos is still my favorite, but it's more of an acquired taste than thissun. Buy it if you find it.

Why is this album out of print?.......2004-07-01

Forbidden Places was the Meat Puppets' debut album on a major label after recording several strong albums on SST Records. Although these albums have since been re-released by Rykodisc, this album for reasons unknown remains out of print. That's a shame because this is a very good album possessing not only much of the punk and country influences from their previous releases but also the melodic material that compromised their next and biggest selling album Too High To Die.

Like Too High To Die, Forbidden Places is a very diverse collection and most of the tracks are very good. The opening track "Sam" is one of the great rapid-fire lyric songs ala R.E.M.'s "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" only cooler with its lightning fast intro and chugging guitar line during the chorus. "Nail It Down" is also a strong track that would have sounded great on AOR radio when they still played cool up and coming bands. The tracks "Whirlpool", "This Day", and "Another Moon" are all melodic rockers that would have fit in well on Too High To Die. The straight country of "That's How It Goes" and the title track are also very good. The heavier tracks "Popskull" and "Open Wide" are decent, but not as strong as the rest of the album. However, it's the killer cowpunk instrumental "Six Gallon Pie", along with the aforementioned "Sam", that are the best tracks here. A very good album that truly deserves to be re-released since it's better than most of the music being put out these days.

Wow! Billy Bacon and the Forbidden Pigs have got to be one of the music world's best kept secrets. The joy of this (and any other "Pigs") CD is that you get such a variety of music. You get "old style" country with "Clock on the Wall" to CCR type rock with "Bayou Out Back". The great Joe Walsh also checks in as an honorary pig.

Don't let the name fool you. These guys are a hard working three-some who put out some great stuff.

Album Description

Important Records couldn't be happier to welcome the legendary producer Jack Dangers to the fold. You may know Jack as the founding member of the most experimental and influential group ever to hit the dance floor, Meat Beat Manifesto. His intensely elaborate work with Meat Beat combined deep bass grooves, massive bursting samples and dense barrages of hip-hop, industrial and avant-funk making his influence on the landscape of electronic music practically immeasurable. It's a fact that without Jack Dangers there never would have been a Nine Inch Nails, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers or the like. Jack wrote the book.

This double CD release contains Jack's now famous soundtrack for the legendary sci-fi film Forbidden Planet. This recording was performed live accompanying a screening of the film at the I.D.E.A.L. Music Festival in Nantes, France. Since the performance the legend of this recording has mounted as Jack's legions of fans have searched far and wide for copies of it. As a special bonus, Forbidden Planet Explored contains a second disc full of sci-fi sound effects inspired by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (highly innovative collaborative workshop responsible for early groundbreaking electronic music which was used as the soundtrack for numerous BBC programs starting in the sixties) and vintage sci-fi films such as Forbidden Planet.

Sci Fi Sound Effects was created on his room sized EMS Synthi 100. Jack's Synthi 100 is one of the only 29 ever built and one of the only Synthi's known to be operational. From the Synthi 100 this maestro of sound is able to produce elaborate unheard tones, drones, bleeps and blobs. This CD is only available as an accompaniment to Forbidden Planet Explored.

Customer Reviews:

This is a LIVE soundtrack for Forbidden Planet (the movie).......2006-10-20

Unfortunately, it seems that previous reviewers have COMPLETELY missed the concept behind this album. This live performance was for a screening of Forbidden Planet at the I.D.E.A.L. Music Festival in Nantes, France.

If you have ever seen the original Forbidden Planet movie, Jack did an AMAZING job recreating the soundtrack using his amazing synthesizer skills. For a true experience, rent the movie, and play this CD instead of the original backing soundtrack. Your perspective and respect will change almost instantly.

The accompanying CD is additional theme-appropriate sci-fi musings on an extremely rare Synthi 100 (one of only 29 known to be made and the only one known to be operational). This dinosaur of a synthesizer gets to shine in its own right on the second CD. Electronic music archeologists will find this an enlightening listen.

I will warn breaks-and-beats fans of Jack Dangers or Meat Beat Manifesto to avoid this album unless you enjoy true avant-garde musique concrete compositions. This composition is completely devoid of any beats or drums.

Weird Stuff.......2005-12-02

All the more reason to pick it up!
It's not for the dance floor, it is Jack's vision of how the soundtrack should have been to a 1960's, sorry 1956, Sci-Fi movie with Leslie Nielsen as the leading man. I found the concept of the movie intelectually appealing, subconscious mind expansion and whatnot. I'm sure they will remake it soon, and it will probably have a similar soundtrack to Matrix or something equally "techno-edgy", then maybe these other reviewers will buy the soundtrack. Don't get me wrong I like my Juno Reactor as much as the next freak, but this is just not in the same realm.

I bought the Meat Beat Manifesto DVD "In Dub 5.1 Surround", it shows a collection of many sound effect albums from the 50's and 60's, I assume Jack has spent some time gathering these oddities for his collection, and are probably the basis for many of the sounds heard on the Forbidden Planet Soundtrack. I am quite certain that Jack et.al. spent plenty of time making their analog equipment behave just perfectly to set the eerie tone of this quirky film.

this is poor.......2005-05-25

don't bother with this - its rubbish and Nothing to do with the movie "Forbidden Planet". even the publisher's info is suspect: 'most experimental and influential group ever to hit the dance floor, Meat Beat Manifesto'! talk about misplaced hype!!! and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop worked right through the 50's to the 80's, not just the sixties

Don't waste your money . . . .......2005-03-20

This is the most of disappointing albums I have ever bought. If you like listening to pointless lame music then, by all means knock yourself out. If you like Jacks work with turntables and big bass . . . look elsewhere. Seriously, don't get this album. Consider yourself warned! I was hoping for a great album but instead I got something that I can use as a coaster. Man this album sucks!

Weird stuff.......2005-01-19

OK... I love electronica, and I like Jack Dangers, but this CD is not so great. There is NO MUSIC on it. That's right. No music. It's all freaky sound effects. It would make great background music for a halloween haunted house, but don't get this CD if you're expecting it to sound anything like Jack Dangers' other stuff. I gave it 3 stars because, even though it's not what I expected, I can still appreciate the talent that's behind it.

best kept secret.......2006-09-07

I bought this back in 2001, i also purchased there first self promotion cd. both are quite good. out of these two forbidden meat is by far a classic. i would of given this cd a five star rating but most of the songs are a bit to long. they did do a video and it was pretty funny, i think it was lonely day. anyways go pick this cd up. fat chick always pay inside!

My PoP-PuNk HiDDeN TrEaSuRe.......2005-01-19

Sloppy meateaters is one of those bands that I like to think of as a "well kept secret". They're basically unknown, but upon listening to their music, it becomes a mystery as to why. They've got everything that Blink 182 has; Catchy hooks, funny lyrics, good vocals and colorful personalities, but for some reason, even diehard punk fans are unaware of their exsistence.

On "forbidden meat", the bands second offical release, SME takes the basic same approach to their music as on "Shameless Self-Promotion", making only minor adjustments for some of their songs. The hooks are catchy as ever, and the vocals here seem a bit higher pitched (if you can believe that) than the ones on SSP. Overall, its a good effort, but as with Blink 182's dude ranch, its hard to sit through past 11 or 12 songs in one sitting.

Upside: Catchy songs, foot-stomping melody and funny, creative lyrics.

Downside: With 15 songs, its just a tad bit too long to take in one sitting.

You'll Like SME if you Like: Blink 182 or MxPx.

One of the best.......2004-09-22

I have had this cd for a while. They have a new cd coming out in a few months. Anyone who happens to stumble across this, then buy it. They are awsome in every way. If you like punk-popish music. Or just great music in generall then buy this and listen to it. The best song is "SO LONG" on this cd. I can't wait untill their new one comes out.

SME.......2003-08-11

this band is quite possibly the best band ever except they arent sloppy meateaters anymore because their drummer dropped out and took the name with him so they are Under The Weather now and they are still a good band you should check em out.

Really great pop/punk........2003-07-07

I love this CD, I don't know why, but I do. It's one of those CD's yo can't help but to love. Every song is really catchy, they sound alot like old Blink 182, especially the song 'I sing like a girl' which Isn't on this CD. But listen to that song, it sounds alot like 'untitled' by Blink 182. My favorite songs on here are 'Lonely day' and 'One dream at a time'. They are one of the only great pop/punk bands around that haven't soldout, which is always good. Get this.
