Silva Screen Records has brought film music to another level in soundtracks, flawless from the very first note to the last, pure perfection --- There is no other label I know of today that could come close to what they have done in film score/soundtrack albums --- All in all, this outstanding, fantastic and moving release with awesome material will have film music collectors crying for more!
Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Rick Clark (Mastered & Complied) a tremendous asset to every project they undertake --- and the label which made it all possible ... Silva America --- and of course the composers featured on this soundtrack gem!
Total Time: 2 CD Set ~ SILCD 1274 ~ (11/11/2008)
