A delightfully buoyant, mock-creepy collection of film scores from Hollywood's first and best call for quirk, strangeness, and charm. Focusing on Elfman's post-1992 work (much of it for director Tim Burton), this 2 CD set features excerpts from Edward Scissorhands, To Die For, and Batman Returns, among other lesser items. -- Jeff Bateman

Priceless, at any price.......2007-07-06

Years ago, watching peter Jennings cover the funeral procession of Princess Diana, my soul was captured by some hauntingly beautiful music that at times played in the background. So began my mission to find out what it was, who wrote it and how I could get it. After some correspondence with the network I was put in touch with the woman who "put together" that part of the programming. All she could remember is that it came from the movie "Black Beauty". THEN I found out how many versions of that had been made lol. With determination, I finally found it, and had a local music store order it for me.
There are no words to describe what this music does to me. I did try listening to some of the other tracks, but they didn't even come close. I rate this music right up there with the 1971 score for "Jane Eyre" by John Willams... and that's pretty high :D

Good overview.......2007-04-18

Very nice overview of Elfman work. Insufficient by itself but worth having along with the full soundtracks. Bonus disc is a nice extra.

Great Music!!!!!!!!!.......2005-09-08

I Love Danny Elfman's music so much that I have started my own collection of the soundtracks that he composed. For a while, I was trying to find the "Beetlejuice" theme song from the TV show, but thanks to this release, I finally have it!!! Keep up the good work Elfman!

Very nice for a Danny Elfman collection.......2005-08-02

Music For A Darkened Theater, Vol.2 is a great cd!!! I love all of the tracks on both cd's,but my fav. ones are the t.v. scores and the This Is Halloween demo!!! If you love this,then i recomend looking at all the actually albums on this cd and his other works!!!! good job,Danny Elfman.

Bring on Volume 3.......2005-05-04

The liner notes and "This is Halloween Demo" on this compilation are well worth the CD price by themselves. Danny comments on each of the tracks on the CDs which is a rare and ego-free look at what a composer thinks of his own work.

Edward Scissorhands is magical, Black Beauty is a rollercoaster of emotion, and Dolores Claiborne makes me want to find the nearest piano. This is not a "Most Popular" compilation, rather it aptly showcases Danny Elfman's (and Orchestrator, Steve Bartek's) brilliance and wide range of style.

Every suite has an Elfman signature, such as the layered complexity which never sounds overdone, or the use of a choir as an instrument.

This (and Volume 1) are examples of the work of a modern day composer who consistently stands out as one of the best.

If you like this and have the spare cash, grab the individual scores from some of the movies he has worked on, including "Men In Black", "Spiderman", "Batman", "Batman Returns", "Nightmare Before Christmas", "Edward Scissorhands", "Mars Attacks" and so many more.

A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

Uplifts your soul, takes your mind into the heavens.......2006-01-06

I have been listening to great scores for many years and this collection is truly inspirational in so far as the choice of different scores takes you on a journey of listening pleasure matched by only a few collections.The price is incredibly reasonable for hours of listening pleasure. Don't pass this one up

More than artifact, but don't pay top dollar.......2006-02-03

I love the Dead's early stuff: Jerry's warbly singing, Pigpen's early musical style, the wonderfully fast versions of Cold Rain and Snow, the banter with the audience and Bill G., etc. This collection has all of that, and also, honestly, some song versions inferior to what we hear on the first few Warner's studio albums. Now in some cases that doesn't matter because what you hear is either good enough or at least historically interesting. Just keep in mind that you are hearing a band that is honing their craft and still fashioning some of their more well-known tunes. It's by turns raw if original phrasing, herky jerky tempos, and quaint guitar licks (which I like). If you understand that going in, it helps. Did I pay the full $20 something dollar fare for this? No. But I grabbed a copy for my pre '73 Dead collection, which I consider the band's sweetspot period, and also serves to remind me of when I was in my own good Millbrae, CA band and thought those S.F. guys were just competition! Heh!

Birth of an extraordinary journey.......2005-06-07

When Rhino released the box-set The Golden Road in 2001, not only did they present each of the Grateful Dead's 10 original Warners albums with masses of additional previously unreleased material, they also included a new 2CD compilation of recordings that preceded their debut album. A couple of years later each expanded, re-mastered album was released in its own right, including the new compilation.
Birth Of The Dead comprises previously hard to find tracks recorded in 1965-66 for the Autumn and Scorpio labels, including their early singles, plus, on the second disc, 14 previously unreleased live recordings from the Bay-Area, made by Bear.
Although the band always had a love of American roots music, there is not much evidence on the early sides, which are mostly conventional folk-rock and blues with an eye on the main chance. The 1965 Autumn sessions, made when they were known as the Emergency Crew, were not released at the time but included Gordon Lightfoot's Early Morning Rain, the traditional I Know You Rider, which the Byrds and doubtless other West Coast bands were also performing, and most interestingly the original Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks), a supercharged blues jam which was to turn up on Anthem Of The Sun.
By the following summer, when they returned to the studio in a session for the Scorpio label, the band had begun to experiment and evolve, and the material, such as the traditional Cold Rain and Snow, Don't Ease Me In and Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers' Stealin' (their first single), was more indicative of where their hearts lay. A single for Verve on which they backed Jon Hendricks in 1967 is also included.
The live tracks, from various San Francisco gigs in July 1966, have been sequenced to resemble a typical concert of the period, beginning with Viola Lee Blues, another Cannon's Jug Stompers original (written by the harmonica player Noah Lewis), but transformed by the Dead over nine and a half minutes to mark the start of the extraordinary journey which they and their audience were to share over the next many years. Their original Standing On The Corner keeps company with covers of songs by Henry Thomas, Otis Redding, the Mississippi Sheiks, Bob Dylan, Slim Harpo, Jimmy Reed, Bill Monroe, Blind Willie Johnson, Little Junior Parker, Lightnin' Hopkins and Blind Arvella Grey - all songs they were never to record. The set closer, Keep Rolling By, is listed as a traditional song but is more probably one of their own, and has the late Pigpen trading vocals with Jerry Garcia.
This is a fascinating document for anyone with more than a passing interest in one of the most inventive and creative musical forces of our times

A few good live tracks; rest is pointless artifacts.......2003-08-30

...The first CD in this 2 disc set features early recording sessions of the Dead that did not make it to record. It was from recording session before they got the contract with Warner Brothers.

Most of the songs on the first CD ended up on the Dead's later albums. The versions that got released are much better than what is here. Many songs are repeated twice, once as an instrumental and then repeated with the vocal tracks laid down. There are other songs on this CD that were never released, mainly because they were not good enough to be released.

The first CD ends up being an interesting artifact, showing the Dead as it was evolving into a real group. It makes a nice bonus disc to a boxset. But, it isn't worth buying on its own. You wouldn't want to play it repeatedly.

The second disc is early live recordings of unknown origin. It starts out with Viola Lee Blues. It is the umpteenth live version of Viola Lee Blues, and all the others are better.

There are some great tracks on the second disc. These are live songs that the Dead has never played again. It is the one thing of value on this album. Well played songs that are not available anywhere else. But, there are not enough of them to warrent buying this.

With a bazillion other Dead CD's available, this would be one of my last choices.

The Oldest Juveniles In California.......2003-07-06

The clarity of these mostly wide separation stereo recordings is amazing. Rhino has done a 1st class remastering on the early studio sessions that comprise disc one. The 2nd disc is compiled from various 1966 concerts, and a closer listen to several of the tracks is deserved. To catch lightning in a bottle and evoke the pre-burn out years of the hippie era with memory fragments strung together in the manner of Neal Cassidy is a thankless task I shall not try again, thank you. Allow me to continue reviewing specific numbers, especially lively material found on the 2nd disc. Previous reviewers have boiled it down to a simple one word description, "great". Yeah, okay. but why is it great? It certainly isn't new, although in way it is since most of us we haven't heard it all before. My vote for the most astonishing find goes to the set closer, Keep Rolling By. It features PigPen sharing lead vocals at the start with Garcia along with Lesh and Weir doing back-ups. It sounds a little like something off Rolling Stones Aftermath... way off! Sitting On Top Of The World is solid, nice fat sounding lead bottom from Jer. Played just as fast as on the 1st Dead album, maybe faster, which reveals that was the tempo they played in when they were young and reckless.
Garcia asks the audience before the start of Its All Over Now, Baby Blue if any of the folks in the first row has a match. By the early '70s, the band would never again be casually communicative from the stage with their intense and potentially psychotic (first row) fans.
The intro by Bill Graham is a typical good natured rib, "the oldest juveniles in the state of California, The Grateful Dead." The set opener is a laid back but slouch-free Viola Lee Blues which soon picks up the tempo. This was their big show-stopper of the day, all but forgotten now. It has a curiously short mid-section but as such doesn't wear out it's welcome.. It's followed by a take no prisoners Don't Ease Me In. Pigpen then starts into his various blues and various rhythms.
The Dead were a trip band when these recordings were made. Yet the music is blues based, and the excursions into the new folk rock are inspired more by Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home than by The Byrds.
BIRTH OF THE DEAD is raw, not half-baked or too well-done.

Byrds with a twist.......2003-06-15

The title of the cd says it all. This is where they came from , although the jugband roots are hardly present here.

Product Description

This CD & hardbound book combination is a wonderful view into the historic Russian Orthodox faith for the English speaker, the thesis of which builds off the Eastern understanding that an icon represents an invisible spiritual reality, the Church on earth is an icon of the heavenly church and that liturgical chant is an Icon (or image) of the angelic singing. These then, are in "divine harmon" as to how they work together to engage the faithful in the ascent to heaven. The CD is comprised of selections from the series of recordings by Anatoly Grindenko and the Russian Patriarchate Choir, and one portion of the book includes an essay by Anatoly Grindenko, and liner notes and complete hymn text in English. The other portion of the book is written by Russian iconographer Adolf Ovchinnikov, and explains the history and development of icons and their use in the Christian faith. It is comprised of a series of essays that have been translated into English, with copious! full-color icons representing ancient to recent icons, many previously unpublished (from St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai, The Hermitage, the Byzantine Museum in Athens, and others). Book is 62 pages in length

Another feast for Handelians.......2003-12-25

Here's another astonishing piece for all Handelians. Many of Handel's great pieces have sadly been neglected - just like many of Richard Strauss' operas which have only recently received attention from people like Botstein, Korsten and Sinopoli (deceased). Thankfully, Gardiner and his team took the trouble to record this astonishing masterpiece. I simply love this piece - Saul!! The Monteverdi choir is the best in the world - listen to their stunning virtuosity here. Thank you, Gardiner!!

Excellent music.......2003-09-14

Saul is one of those lesser known works by Handel. I certainly prefer Solomon, the Messiah or Israel in Egypt. Nevertheless, there is plenty of glorious music in Saul. The Monteverdi sings with their customary virtuosity. Casting of solo parts is superb. A bit on the pricey side but this is an investment that will yield rich dividends over a long period of time. Instead of listening to the Messiah all the time, or Solomon or Jephtha, why not be more daring and explore this lesser known work by Handel?
