Back To Future Trilogy Back To The Future Trilogy Soundtrack CD

 Back to a classic
As we all know a big part of a successful movie is the film score. Back to the Future was only Alan Silvestri’s second major film score but it’s a classic. It provides a major orchestral framework for this over-the-top rambunctious but heart-warming roller coaster ride into the past, present and future of Marty Mc Fly and Doc Brown. John Debney and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra have captured the essence of the driving, exciting and exhilarating score of this wonderful adventure trilogy. Robert Townson is to be congratulated on crafting a fine representative compilation of the score. And for those who wish to delve more deeply into the structure of the music, Jon and Al Kaplan have provided an excellent in depth critique. I enjoyed this CD from start to finish and still felt I wanted more. For my money it’s on a par with John William’s epic work for Star Wars. The tracks from Part III of the trilogy are from the original motion picture soundtrack and were conducted by Silvestri himself. A bonus is the score Silvestri wrote especially for the Back to the Future ride at Universal Pictures theme park. If you love movie music you’re sure to love this one.

 Skip this poor excuse and stick with the origional 3 albums.
20 bucks for a CD that's been poorly re-recorded and lackluster. Wasted. Granted, this CD is a major blow towards BTTF fans who are looking fowards to this Trilogy release. The tempos are too slow, the drumbeats are weak, and instruments are echoy and muddy. My best tracks have to be the last few, because these are origional recordings taken from the BTTF III score CD. Worst of all, you don't get the hits, like 'The Power of Love', 'Johnny be Goode', or 'Beat it'. 'The Back to the Future Ride' track may be a plus, but it just doesn't save the CD from going to the dumpster. Sorry, but next time, they should just copy the tracks from the origionals and compile them. If you allready have the origional 3 soundtrack albums, than please don't bother with this one. I am a Back to the Future fanatic, but this CD just does nothing but dissapoint me.
