I bought this latest offering in the somewhat forlorn hope that Silva Screen had paid some attention to the negative reviews that Volume 1 attracted, and had perhaps included some original versions. Not a hope. Every track is a cover, performed by Silva's usual suspects - The Daniel Caine Orchestra, City Of Prague Philharmonic, Mark Ayres and a few others. The Daniel Caine tracks have been released on countless other albums under Silva's Primetime label, and the City of Prague tracks are trying to be too close to the originals yet missing by miles. They sound lifeless and hollow, as though the musicians and engineers are thinking "here we go again".
Oh, and the final thing that really made me laugh - on the spine, when the text is the right way up, the Silva Screen logo is upside down!!
Come on, Silva Screen, you can do way, way better than this, you really can...

Silva Screen Strikes Again
4 Mar 2008
Format:Audio CD
Another collection of lackluster performances and don't-sound-alikes from Silva Screen records, who seem to produce nothing but collections of lackluster performances and don't-sound-alike themes from film and TV. The extra kick in the teeth in this set is that some of the themes were included in Silva Screen's volume 1. But if you bought that and still are considering volume 2, you won't care.

Horrible!

Awful remakes of TV themes.
No wonder they don't have tracks to listen to on the Amazon website.
Another terrible CD from a hit-and-run company.

WARNING - Preview carefully and make sure this is what you expect
2 Dec 2008
As stated by other reviews here -- these are NOT the original themes, but simply remakes -- and many are VERY POOR remakes at that. Preview tracks before purchase, and listen carefully. If you are looking for the original theme songs, look elsewhere.
If, for whatever your reasons, you want something that "reminds you" of these TV them songs... I guess this is the collection for you.
Buyer beware!
