These two discs contain three complete, original recordings by this unique composer, who along with Schifrin changed the sound of film music. His music for many great Sergio Leone westerns announced a new direction for the evolution of the soundtrack, with the sort of creative and often startling use of instrumentation so well exhibited on this collection. The first cd presents the music from the first two 'Dollars' films. The opening theme, not one of his best-known, builds on guitars and an evocative whistled melody with unsettling vocals and rolling percussion, which carries your imagination over a sunscorched desert plain. Full string sounds layer the music, adding depth and musical texture. Whilst you notice the most ... Read More: >>More Details |

Like the film, Horner's Oscar winning score has it's moments. 'Never an Absolution' is marvellous, 'Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave' is OK (once you get past the irritating Chariots of Fire-esque effects) and that's it really. Much of the score is ruined by Horner's insistence on choosing instrumentation rooted in the story over what would work better.
Southampton for instance is spoilt by annoying synthesised choirs. The composers reason for this was apparently to give the film a contemporary feel, unfortunately it just grates, particularly when you realise how well-written the rest of the instrumentation is. The action cues are fine, but nothing mind-blowing. 'My Heart Will Go On,' performed by the ever-irritating Celine Dion, ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is 50 % of what makes the film trully fantastic. And if like me you know every reply and every scene (having seen it umpteen times) it's very evocative. I know of only one other film that manages to combine film and music in that way : ascenceur pour l'échafaud. Would have been perfect if they had included the soundtrack from the credits.

This album is a 'Deluxe' edition and contains 19 tracks - so is a very good broad sweep of the music used throughout the film.
Highlights include the title track and 'Submarine'. Some of the stuff sounds rather dated (e.g. there are lots of disco guitars and synth bass in places), but this is 1981. Much of this stuff doesn't particularly have much impact on its own, but it's film music, and so serves its purpose in this respect. I wouldn't say this was up there with the best of the Bond soundtracks (such as "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" or "The Living Daylights"), but if you're a fan then you do need this in your collection. It's listenable and mildly amusing in places. >>More Details |

I was lucky enough to see Return To The Forbidden Planet around 3 times many years ago and it genuinely was a show that blew me away - the talent of all the performers in the show as they rotated around all the instruments on stage literally performing the role of the orchestra and cast was outstanding. The soundtrack is a collection of very well known rock and roll songs adapted lyrically to fit the shows story - you will know the majority of the songs on this album and it is just sheer good fun to listen to.

Thunderball is one of Barry's best Bond scores. This soundtrack album includes previously omitted material and has benefited from light handed remastering. The result is that Barry's evocative music can be heard in full for the first time, while still capturing the sense that the recording was made in the mid sixties at the height of bond mania. Barry's score very effectively underpins the action of the film and is fresh, vibrant and cutting edge- reflecting the originality of the Bond films at the time. The underwater music is superb and the whole album is taught and suspenseful. The belting title song is one of the best and is delivered with real aplomb by Tom Jones.

I don't think the NCR is that bad.
I am very prejudiced towards the OCR, seeing as this recording was bought for me for my ninth birthday and started my love affair with this musical. However, I do agree with some other reviewers that to a modern audience some of the tracks may seem laboured or slow compared with what they are used to now. I was lucky enough to see it for the first time very recently (The Third Dimension Tour), and although what I heard was not what I was used to I have to say I enjoyed it immensely, and even preferred some of the updated songs (Race Time, for example, was far more like a rap in my opinion than the original version of The Rap). I would've liked a recording of the new tour soundtrack, or (hope upon hope) ... Read More: >>More Details |

John Williams (Stars Wars composer) once again demonstrates his ability to create meaningful music which can stand alone from the movie script that inspired it. The CD is beautifully performed and recorded with outstanding instrumental solos from Yo Yo Ma (cello) and Itzhak Perlman (violin). John Williams has created a musical atmosphere which almost imperceptibly evokes the orient without becoming pastiche. What I like particularly is the music's understatement and avoidance of high drama relying instead on a gently changing, orchestral landscape to convey subtle changes of mood. A CD which would be worth buying for the haunting Sayuri's theme which opens and closes the score. But there is much more here than 'one good tune'.
