1.0 out of 5 stars Inspired by ... but not the musical score from the series, March 24, 2008

This review is from: Into The West (Audio CD)

The small print on the cover of the CD says it all "Music inspired by the 6-week television event." I loved the series, bought the DVD, and wanted just the music to listen to ... but this isn't it. Calling it the soundtrack and packaging it with imagery from "Into the West" is deceiving. How many musical tracks from the film were accompanied with lyrics? Every song on this CD is. The one star rating is because of my disappointment in what I was hoping to receive and not necessarily a reflection of the work included on it. I don't recall any of these "sing-along-songs" as being part of the telecast though I can't count the number of times I watched the episodes.

1.0 out of 5 stars No music from the series..., June 17, 2008

Very disappointed. As with the other reviewer, I to not only watched the series, but was an extra on several episodes during the filming here in NM. Although the CD was "inspired by the series" (and after listening to the songs, I think not), I was very disappointed and this cd should be placed in $1.00 CD bin at the music store. Wonder where the original music from the series is? It is certainly not on this CD. VERY MISLEADING.

1.0 out of 5 stars I feel ripped off, August 23, 2005

I wanted the exquisite orchestral musical themes I heard during the mini-series, but what I got sent is a bunch of boring pop or country-western songs, not a single one either memorable--or used in the soundtrack of the film.

Unless you like boring pop/country stuff, save your money. I sure wish someone had warned me.
