Customer Reviews:

Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

G 'n f'n DS.......2000-12-09

The three guys and three gals in this group have somehow formed a family of exciting sounds. They rip on the sugarcoated industry in "Professional Pop" and "Death Of Rock and Roll." This is explosive stuff with a good feel. It hits the heights, slows down to pick up those it lost, and takes off again. At one point, the inventive band makes neat train noises in unison. There's clever wordplay like "AEIOU nothing" on the hardpressed "Animal." "The Toughest Thing" is thrilling, with powerful emotion like Stiff Little Fingers. Killian "Killer" MacGeraghty sings with aggressive fire like fellow countrymen New Model Army.With more bruising guitar work, "Wasting Precious Time" is theatric in a hippie musical sort of way. Intense chanting and great drive make this political piece work. "What I Hate About Punks" would have made a recent "punk rock opera" much better. Many would agree, "They took a good thing and made a bad thing." Megan Reitan soars exactly like Polly Styrene. Full steam on "Thief for Love," a rocker with lots of meat. It seems to be a take on "Mrs. Robinson," if I have my imagery correct. "Sundae" for dessert is cryptic and sweet and features a 50-guitar orchestra!

The music is mature and exciting with original drumming. Throughout the pointed messages and outbursts of emotion, mankind remains positive and hopeful. This crew knows their stuff and yours. It's catchy without being crap. The varied flavors make for a fantastic record from a phenomenal band.
