5.0 out of 5 stars This really is the Best of Babylon 5!, November 4, 2001

Thank you to Christopher Franke and Sonic Images for The Best of Babylon 5! Although I have most of these tracks on other B5 CD's, I really enjoyed this one because of the consistently great music. I would rank this one as excellent, along with my other two favorites, Babylon 5 Volume 2, "Messages from Earth" and the episodic CD, "Sleeping in Light." Two tracks deserve special mention: Track 2 is (I believe) a reworking of music from the album Babylon 5 Volume 1. With the "Battle of the Line" music in the background, Chris Franke adds new ideas to enhance the musical experience. The other notable track is the last one, Track 18 "Bonus Theme." This is a fabulous new track, which I understand was written for the (unfortunately never released) Babylon 5 CD-Rom game. This is six minutes of great music, that cannot be mistaken for anything other than "Babylon 5-style" music. It's a thrilling piece, which alone makes me glad I bought the CD. Let's hope we get the same quality offering with the "Legend of the Rangers" movie soundtrack, which I hope will be released next year.

2.0 out of 5 stars Best of Babylon 5, July 13, 2011

Clearly this was not the best of Babylon 5. The recordings where in my professional opinion poorly mixed. The arrangements on some of the tracks is amateurish. There were several tracks that didn't even appear in the series but were from a video game release. Obviously a poor way to fill up a CD with fluff.
I would have liked to have tracks from the episode Sleeping in light. That is in my opinion one of the best tracks Franke has written for the series

3.0 out of 5 stars Track list doesn't match, January 14, 2011

This review is from: Best of Babylon 5 (Audio CD)

I've bought this CD twice and if you look at the pictures for this product, specifically the one of the back of the CD, it doesn't match the track list for this item. The one song I want is Sleeping in Light:Dying Station. It is not on the CD. The CD itself seems to match what's listed on the back of the CD case. Can anyone help me find the right one? Was there more than one volume of The Best of Bablyon 5 CDs? If there is a seller who has a CD that has tracks the match the listing for this item - what's listed on Amazon not the back of the disk in the picture, let me know.

Thank you.

Jennifer
