This review is from: Songs and Music from His Films (Audio CD)

most of the tracks on this cd are available elsewhere, but what prompts me to give this a low review is the quality of the recording. some of them sound like they were taped off of a tv set showing a warbly print. you can do better elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the original, June 19, 2007

coma "coma" (berlin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Songs and Music from His Films (Audio CD)

As the previous reviewer rightly pointed out, these are the original recordings from the era the films were made. And yes, the sound is completely different from what we are used to hear when we are turning the CD player on: it's mono, it's partially unsteady and some of the pieces suddenly fade. BUT, it's the REAL thing and it transports the charms and the charisma, inherent to the original ONLY.
Those who prefer the flawless technical perfection of a re-recording better should save their money. But those who love the movies and their genuine sound, should be perfectly pleased with this release.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expecting too much..., January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Music From Humphrey Bogart Movies (Audio CD)

Perhaps I was expecting too much - somehow I had hoped the songs on this CD would sound somewhat better than they do in the movies. They do not, and in some cases, the songs don't even sound like they're lifted from particularly pristine copies of the films. There is one song ("As Time Goes By") that stands out as higher fidelity, but it seems poorly treated with an odd reverb effect.

Of course the songs and compositions are incredible, plus many tracks include little interludes from the movies with the accompanying soundtrack, but if you're hoping for a more satisfying experience with the music than what the movies themselves offer, don't get your hopes up.
