4.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth the Effort, January 7, 2003

Thinking this gem was a soundtrack collection, I was still pleasantly surprised at the quality of the 'tunes. Of course, some familiar and not-so-familiar tunes were arranged differently than originally heard by sci-fi fans, but the effort and love for music shows. My personal highlight was the more driving version of the theme from "Escape from New York", which made the disk for me, and the version of "Amazing Stories" was quite close to the original by John Williams, which at the time this was released, was extremely hard to find on CD. A worthy effort by a group with an obvious love for sound quality and arrangement. Familiar music with a new twist! Nice!

I heard this recording on KCSN-FM in L.A. in full and at first I thought it was snippets from the original soundtracks. As one track followed the next I wondered what movie some of the selections came from. Imagine my delight when I found they were all from the same album. I picked up the first Greatest Sci Fi Hits eons ago on vinyl. They should do a collection! Offer 3 for the price of two or something. Anyway, I enjoyed #4 and intend to pick it up next payday...or maybe for myself as a Holiday gift.--Kevin D. S.F.Music Fan

Knowing that I'm a big Buckaroo Banzai fan, a friend picked this CD up for me. Of course I immediately listened to "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai" and was so happy to hear what I consider one of the great SF themes played so well. That alone would have been enough to give this a 5 star review. Then I listened to the rest of the CD.

There are so many great performances on this disc. The live performance of the "James Bond Theme" is truly astounding. I recommend this disc highly to anyone with a love for SF music.
