This review is from: Alien Invasion: Space And Beyond 2 (Audio CD)

Silva has come up with another winner, how many is that in a row now? James Fitzpatrick has once again given the listener an "A Plus" in quality, selection and entertainment. What "Alien Invasion" does is step back in time to the '50s bringing us up to the '90s with some of the most sought after scores ever to grace the tube and big screen. This album is full of classic scores that would take a "film score" collector time and money to collect.

A stand out is the opening track on disc one - "MARS ATTACKS" (Danny Elfman), Elfman gives you the musical effect of those ever popular '50s corny sci-fi films. Another highlights is on disc two - "STARMAN" (Jack Nitzsche) is actually better than the original synthesized version.

The City of Prague Philharmonic is without a doubt, the number one orchestra on film scores. This double CD set contains top notch arrangements, with the Crouch End Festival Chorus and their extraordinary performances. This album would be an outstanding addition to any film score collection!

This review is from: Alien Invasion: Space And Beyond 2 (Audio CD)

All three of the space and beyond CDs are must haves in any science fiction fan's collection.

Just check out the composers on this one: David Arnold (Independence Day, Stargate), James Horner (Battle Beyond the Stars), Basil Poleedouris (Starship Troopers), Jerry Goldsmith (Star Trek First Contact, Twilight Zone: The Movie), Stu Phillips (Battlestar Galactica), Alan Silvestri (Contact) and Gustav Holst (Mars: The Bringer of War)

Also check out Space and Beyond and Space 3: Beyond the Final Frontier

This review is from: Alien Invasion: Space And Beyond 2 (Audio CD)

This set of CDs is excellent with backgound information and descriptions of each song/suite.

My favorite suites inculuded were from the following movies and tv series: DUNE, Contact, Space: Above & Beyond

It's well organized and the sound is suberb
