5.0 out of 5 stars I love it when a cd kicks A$$!, August 5, 2001

By	Steven B. Abbott (Lexington, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This cd ranks about 1,000 stars. Yep, put this in your car stero and soon you will be taking immposible super long jumps in slo motion and leaving your enemies in the dust just like Mr. T. and the rest of the A-Team. With the reruns on every day and this CD we just need Regan back in the White House and all would be right with America again. The first track is the best as it is a long version of the opening theme and in every episode the bad quys lock up the team in a home depot and after they bulid a log throwing, machine gun toting, smoke spieling, monster vechicle the easy sounds of track 2 come through as the team bulids thier latest mechincal monster, great tune for oil change time!

5.0 out of 5 stars The A-Team is Coming! The A-Team is Coming!, July 26, 2000

By	Hunter (USA) - See all my reviews

I received this CD as a (very) late birthday gift a week ago, and since then it's been playing nonstop in my car. Somehow, a traffic jam seems much more bearable when "BA's Ride" is playing in the background.

This CD is a compilation of much of the background music that plays during "A-Team" episodes. Family members have complained that some of it sounds the same; however, it is important to note that this is a television score, and that repeated themes are common (and important) in TV music. I enjoyed hearing the songs and recognizing some of the melodies that had been stuck in my head for days at a time. The music is very catchy, particularly "Young Hannibal," "Bandits!," and (of course) the theme.

Granted, fans of the show (like myself) are more likely to buy the CD than those who have never seen it. However, that does not mean that you have to belong to the A-Team fan club to enjoy the music. My friends, who have never watched a single episode, love this album, and while understanding the events that the music accompanies may give you a different perspective on the CD, the music will bring scenes to your mind that will be just as interesting. I highly recommend this CD to any TV/movie or 80s music fan, and to anyone looking for something fun and a little different.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pure Classic, September 23, 2000

By	"tryy" (Milesburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Ahh yeah. This is a pure classic. The A-Team Theme has to be the greatest television theme song of all time. Having The A-Team Theme on CD is well worth the (money) this CD costs. But wait there's much more here. All the tracks on here are teriffic. The A-Team Prepare For War, and The A-Team Escape are superb. This is simply great music 1984 or 2000 the music stands on its' own, and you also get such a feeling of nostalgia that you will feel as if your riding in the A-Team van as you listen to this in your car. If you love the A-Team, classic televion or great music then this CD is for you.
