5.0 out of 5 stars One in a Billion, December 9, 1999

Ever find that CD that defines your collection? Wing Commander does it. David Arnold writes a wonderful opening theme (and 3 other cues) and then turns Kevin Kiner onto the project. What happens is near-brillance. Nicholas Dodd does an arangement to blow the roof off of every house on your block and even John Williams, I'm sure, is envious of the complexity of the music (I hear as many as three alternating rhythms in certain pieces, yet it all flows together). Anyone who likes this should look into Shadows of the Empire and Stargate. ID4 is another, and Medal of Honor. But, above all, this is easily one of my favs.

5.0 out of 5 stars One word: Incredible, November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wing Commander (1999 Film) (Audio CD)

I must say, the movie wasn't all that good aside from the effects, but the music was great. Usually, sci-fi movies have sort of techno soundtracks that don't have any real "feel" to them. Wing Commander, however is something that is easily listened to, and also is probably the only sci-fi CD that you can play while company is over without scaring them away of annoying them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better., July 10, 2001

I bought this CD on the theme that accompanied the movie. The first track is a classic as far as music with a hook. It is that good. Now the rest was a disappointment. While I enjoyed most tracks they seemed like a rehash of Stargate and Independence Day. The biggest turn-off was the electronic music in tracks 10 and 11. What were they thinking? And just who is Kevin Kiner? Most of the music sounded like that of David Arnold without the newness or individuality. Kevin has good basic orchestral skills but needs work in matching the music with the emotions of the movie. And please, Kevin, lay off of the electric guitar. All in all I give it 3 stars.
