1.0 out of 5 stars I'm SO disappointed!, October 28, 2003

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Steven Spielberg Presents: Taken (Audio CD)

Because Amazon never listed the songs for this new soundtrack, I just assumed (stupid me) that it would be Laura Karpman's breathtaking music for this wonderful mini-series. What a shock when I found it's only tired, old rock 'n' roll from the Way Back Machine; not ONE of Ms. Karpman's works is on it. I sent it back to Amazon w/o even opening the package. I was so upset, I wanted to cry. I just hope that there will be another soundtrack put out that does have Laura Karpman's "Taken" music on it, and I will be first in line to buy it!!! Until then, be warned!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't get taken like me!, October 23, 2003

I so loved Laura Karpman's score and looked forward to the CD soundtrack. Well, bite my checkbook. The CD contains only old songs by the original artists.

If you missed Sheb Wooley singing Purple People Eater the first time around then get this CD. If you want to hear a medley of Laura Karpman then foggetaboutit.

Frankly I think titling the CD "Music from the Critically Acclaimed Epic Event" borders on ...

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid compilation, February 15, 2004

For those customers who were disappointed I have a few words: Read the track listing before complaining. This is a solid compilation of folk, country, rock, and standards, and the songs flow well into each other, unlike many soundtracks that juxtapose odd selections. Yes, I agree that some of the score should have been included, but this CD deserves more than the one star ratings it's been given here.
