5 out of 5 stars Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01

I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!

5 out of 5 stars Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03

This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?

4 out of 5 stars Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11

Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.

Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).

Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".

It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.

But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.

4 out of 5 stars Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22

It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!

4 out of 5 stars Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31

Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.

However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.

However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.

Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars A very mixed musical bag . . ........2004-05-14

This recording is a primarily a collection of themes, and music from British television programs, from the 60's and early 70's. These are not the original recordings, but updated versions recorded presumably just for this compilation. Most of the music is performed by various orchestras, including those led by Laurie Johnson, Barry Gray and Tony Hatch. Being from TV, the pieces are mostly short, and are taken from various kinds of programs including comedies, dramas, and adventure/action type shows. There is great variety in the sounds you hear, and there really isn't an overall "theme" to this collection of themes. The rather detailed CD notes provide informative background and some vintage photos.

Music from programs that made it to America, like The Avengers, The Saint, or Danger Man/Secret Agent Man, may be familiar to American listeners, but unless you have been exposed to British television, much of this music will be unfamiliar. There are also some themes from American TV, like Perry Mason, The Fugitive, Peyton Place and Ben Casey, which may be recognizable.

Taken for what they are, some pieces are well done. For those who favor upbeat, action type themes, there is High Wire from Danger Man, the twangy Maigret's theme, and the themes from Riviera Police and Department S. The version of the theme from the Avengers, performed by original composer Laurie Main's orchestra, is stirring, as you would expect. The same cannot be said for the disappointing version of the theme from The Saint. There are a few vocal tracks as well, such as the rousing Stingray, sung by Gary Miller. Many pleasant and easy to listen to tunes such as Roy Budd's Mr. Rose, and the themes from M. Somerset Maughham and Dr. Findlay's Casebook can be found.

Though there will probably be something here for everyone, such a mixed musical bag makes a general recommendation most difficult. For most, the purchase of this set is very much a roll of the dice. If the track list does not look familiar, you might want to look elsewhere.

    Customer Reviews:

    4 out of 5 stars Fun!.......2006-09-20

    I find myself listening to the Partisans more than any "Oi!" band. The reason for this is probably due to the speed, and lack of chanting. I'm not a huge fan of oi! I find a lot of it too slow. Now, the reason I can't give this 5 stars is because I'm picky. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't buy it by any means, because if you have any interest in punk music, you should at least check these guys out.

    My favorite song on here is Mindless Violence. I don't know why, but I always feel like singing along to it. Even the slower songs like "I Never Needed You" and "17 Years of Hell" and of course "Partisans" find a way to keep me interested. Whenever I listen to the Partisans, I feel happy. That's the reason why I like this cd.

    If you like Blitz, Angelic Upstarts, etc. or even American hardcore such as G.I. and Negative Approach, then you need to pick this up.

    5 out of 5 stars IHATEPOSERS, ANTIFLAG, AND CRASS.......2005-07-26

    this album is good. i am not under 13. the singer is like steve ignorant(crass, he's cool, but the band sux) and steve duties (special duties). the guitar is like many of the punk/oi! bands of their day but most similar to the uk subs. the music isn't real fast, but not real slow either. good cd.

    5 out of 5 stars The Partisans are AWESOME.......2005-04-09

    This is definitely one of my top 10 favorite punk bands of all time. Formed in 1979, they created great oi punk that's classic and timeless. I'm a 15 year old who's been into the Partisans along with a ton of other older punk bands for a while and I listen to this album everyday, it's just so incredible. It's also very notable that the Partisans we're teenagers when this stuff was recorded, they're the most well-known and important Welsh punk band, and they're cool as Hell. This is their earliest material, and definitely their best. They've influenced many, many bands, particularly in the oi and street punk scenes. My personal favorite songs are: Police Story, Killing Machine, I Never Needed You, Mindless Violence, Fire, Bastards in Blue. Of course all the songs are great! You've gotta get this right away if you're into or interested in getting it REAL punk rock coming from real people who live and breathe punk! If your into that new, studio manufactured, unoriginal MTV and radio-friendly "pop-punk" crap that EVERYONE likes (A SORRY EXCUSE FOR MUSIC!) then I highly doubt you'd appreciate the wonderfulness that is the Partisans. But if you're into the real stuff, they may be your next favorite band. The Partisans are very fortunately still playing today, so go see them live!
    Well, what are you waiting for?! GO GET THIS ALBUM NOW!

    3 out of 5 stars ACTUALLY 3& A HALF !!!(3 being the passing mark).......2005-03-25

    Well I like this album but I doubt I would have bought it had I listened it first.I had only listened to a track on a Punk & Disorderly comp I guess,and thought it would be cool to listen to more material.This is a very generic ,second generation,mid-tempo punk rock cd,comprising what I guess(coz there s no way of telling from the booklet,which has NO info at all,customary with ANAGRAM)their first album and some indetermined amount of 7s.There s this repetitiveness to the the beat of the songs I would nt mind if it did nt fail to catch my attention.The singer is apparently in love with Steve Ignorant of CRASS,coz he sings exactly like he does.I know this review is gonna be crucified but I had to let it out.The Partisans are a totally overrated cult band and I find them way inferior to their contemporaries Anti Pasti or The Violators,which I m very fond of.The sound is not good and is very thin and uneven,making the first listen a very hard job of equalizing it in the tonal (esp. bass) and volume departments.I had to listen to it 3 times in a row.A good reference cd if you re a fan of this era in punk rock though.So please try to listen first,then buy.

    3 out of 5 stars P for paR.......2002-01-05

    NOTHING AGAINST THE PARTISANS,BUT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS:THEIR MUSIC STILL FAILS TO GET ME MOVING.NO PICK-ME-UP. THEY ALWAYS DID DELIVER STRONG LYRICS BUT THEIR RYTHEMS OF MUSIC I HONESTLY SAY BORED ME. THIS COMPILATION IS STILL GOOD AND COMPILES MANY OF THEIR MOST POPULAR HITS.
