4.0 out of 5 stars Good but errors on track listing, July 29, 2005

I don't need to tell you how good the music is. Everyone else has already done that. And besides, you wouldn't be here if you didn't already like it.
Just be forewarned: the track listing doesn't match the actual number of tracks. The cd states that there are 11 tracks. There are actually 10. What are listed as tracks 4 and 5 are actually combined on the cd as track 4. Adjust the track labels accordingly.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you are a fan of the show, then you MUST have this CD!, July 17, 1998

This review is from: Land Of The Giants: Original Television Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This CD Soundtrack contains music by two of the more prolific (and well-known) television theme composers. "Land of the Giants" only lasted two years in the late 60's but the show apparently has a faithful following and the music was an integral part of the show. According to the CD liner notes, there was over 40 minutes of music in each one hour episode. If you watched this show as a kid, take a trip down memory lane and get this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Musically advanced for it's time on the small tube", March 29, 2000

Johnny Williams, now called and known as the "John Williams" of "Star Wars" and many other scores to numerous to mention, compiled music for "Land of the Giants" series and episode for "The Crash" on April 15th, 1968. Williams original theme for the series begins with a hint of danger, but quickly segues into a rhythmic, upbeat signature featuring French horns. This score is highly dramatic, restless and the most musically advanced for it's time on the small tube.

It's clear to see why Williams triumphed during this period of his career, as he went on to "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972) and "The Towering Inferno" (1974), both of which would require considerable dramatic music and both brough Williams Academy Award Nominations. The opening and closing themes for Season One and Two are truly classic television scoring. GNP/Crescendo you're the only label we can count on, another winner for all - "True Sci-Fi Collectors"!
