2.0 out of 5 stars Where is the music I wanted?, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

Warning! This is not the CD everyone wishes it were! Some excellent original music graced the "E2M" series, but astonishingly only Michael Kamen's main theme is on this CD. When I heard Mason Daring's poetic and moving score for the episode "Spider" I knew I would pay any price to get it on CD. Was amazed to find that this so-called "soundtrack" is almost an empty wrapper. The grand main theme it includes is painfully tantalizing. That such fine work went into the series' music but not into this CD is baffling. Hope someone rectifies this serious mistake with a new, genuine soundtrack.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a soundtruck... a song collection., April 28, 2000

By	D. Krupnik (New York City U.S. / Tel Aviv Israel) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When i first got the cd i was very happy, since the soundtruck in the series was great, but what i did discover was a callection of old songs. if you are like me and want this cd for the great orchestral soundtruck of the series, don't look in this cd. E-mail HBO and tell them to relese one!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a catastrophe!, February 14, 2000

By	Mike Kmera (Dekalb, Illinois) - See all my reviews

Some of the best orchestral music from the 12-part series is no where to be seen on this soundtrack. I would advise others not to buy this cd. It does not complement the movie in any way. You might as well go buy the Forrest Gump soundtrack if you're looking for oldies.

With this so-called "soundtrack", it's like Columbus sailed half-way across the Atlantic, only to turn back to Europe and say he couldn't make it. Such describes HBO's behavior in regards to not releasing a full orchestral score of such a masterpiece of filmwork. I advise everyone to

1) Go to HBO website 2) E-mail them and complain 3) Tell them to look at Amazon's review for this so-called "soundtrack" 4) Ask HBO to release a "real" soundtrack
