1.0 out of 5 stars War movie themes can be hell, 11 Aug 2003
By Anduril (London) - See all my reviews
  
I know my war movie themes. I grew up with them. I own most of them. At their best (usually via the original soundtracks) they are stirring, nostalgic- and evocative of a time when chaps were chaps and Britain was thoroughly top nation. Then came the '70s and it all went to blazes.

Anyway, this collection must have been produced in the 1970s, although it claims to have been performed in 1997. With an abysmal synthesizer driven melody, it pillages the original grandeur of the themes with a truly atonal form of "shlock and awe".

This CD should not be bought. It has no merit beyond trying to perform them at all. The Eastbourne Pier Orchestra meets Status Quo- and dies .....

Sorry chaps. It's straight back to Blighty for tea and buns with this one. War is hell, but this production could be worse. Come back Vera Lynn, Geoff Love, Ron Goodwin et al .....!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Classic War Movie Themes, 5 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Nasty CD. All the tracks are synthesizer driven. I’m just dumb struck to think that anyone could bring them selves to orchestrate such a diabolical creation.
DO NOT BUY THIS CD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible parody of great music !! , 2 Jul 2007
By Maciej K. "Darth Maciek" (Belgium) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I always liked war movies music and bought this compilation to remember some of the great moments I spend watching films like "The longest day". Well, what I got was trash. I lost my money and one evening. This is a horrible parody - the interpretations of these themes are beyond bad and sound nothing like the originals. Be warned!
