On his fourth release, and first of all-original material, Composer-producer Paul Schwartz explores themes inspired by the night. He generates a lush, dreamy sound that will appeal to fans of Enigma, William Orbit, and Caroline LaVelle. In fact, some of Earthbound echoes the feeling of LaVelle's 1995 album, Spirit, as well as Orbit's work on Madonna's Ray of Light.Known for placing sampled and re-edited opera classics over orchestrations and dance grooves on the classical crossover hits Aria and Aria 2, Schwartz now invokes different combinations of neoclassical music, dance grooves, and ethereal pop, and he deploys a 30-piece orchestra on many of these new tracks. Vocalist Lisbeth Scott lends her talents to several compositions, including the poppy electronica of "The Dark of the Night" and the heavily orchestrated "Ravens," which features a haunting string melody to match the poignant and morose lyrics. Folk singer Tara MacLean sings on the downtempo pop of the title track, while the composer delivers a solemn piano "Nocturne" to end the album. While Earthbound treads a lot of familiar ground, Schwartz makes his nocturnal musings warm and welcoming. --Bryan Reesman

Well done.......2007-02-22
Romantic, melodic and haunting.......2004-11-04
If you are a new romantic this is an album for you. I keep replaying it and joyfully revelling in the lilting melodies. This ia very up-to-date and utterly beautiful music.
Have a listen to State of Grace II as well. You won't believe the beautiful arrangements!
Average.......2004-07-07
Anyone commenting, please feel free to point us to the more climactic and better written work (I highly recommend Aria 2).
I feel like movin'.......2004-03-18
swimming in a river of stars.......2004-01-24
One thing I respect about Paul's new direction and apparent growth as a musician in his most recent projects is his ability to conduct and orchestrate original material (with a few exceptions, of course) without excessively borrowing from past repertoires that have been polished countless times over. It's tarnishing originality and I'm frankly becoming bored with most crossover acts these days so, for now, I'll be turning back to this and the rest of his releases instead of buying most of the unnecessary waste that's been coming out lately. Paul is extremely gifted with diverse talents that shine through in his music, which is moving and very awe-inspired and I'd recommend this to anyone.

give her a chance!!!!!.......2006-10-13
it works for me..........2006-03-20
Mediocre offering.......2006-03-10
this is what you call real music..........2005-12-01
My advice to those critics slamming this album is don't try and review good music...you're no good at it.
This album is fantastic and a real godsend in the days of trash. Each track is individual and possess the qualities of perfect music. If you're looking for Zero 7, this may not be what you're looking for. But if you want to hear proper music that is actually interesting, I suggest this small investment.
NOT zero 7 BUT shopie barker.......2005-11-09
i'm waiting for the new zero 7 album (coming out soon) but this is a great way of waiting it.. not the best of the year but honestly.. very pleasent.
the minimalism is here, simplicity after all. enjoy it.

Not to be missed!!!.......2007-04-30
Great year one compilation.......2007-01-09
If you are Space:1999 fan, it is a must have.
An Excellent CD.......2006-07-27
Fantastic Future Score.......2005-04-01
Especially when it came to the music. As many fans know, Barry Gray scored only 4 episodes - the rest being rounded out by reusing his cues for those episodes, plus liberal doses of library music. This disc gives a good overview of the magnificent music written specifically for the series, as well as a sampling of some of those library cues. As a previous reviewer said, the ultimate soundtrack to the series was released several years ago by the Fanderson organization ( which one had to join as a member to be able to order ) and is sadly out of print. Copies can be found on the internet, often selling for prohibitive prices. Unless you are a diehard collector, willing to shell out a good sized portion of your paycheck, this single disc is the way to go.
Sound quality is superb, and in some cases surpasses the previously mentioned two disc set, as several of the tracks have been remastered to remove wow, flutter, and distortion that could be heard on the Fanderson set. The main title was remixed to make it truer to the on-screen version, and the tracks from the episode "Black Sun" are in stereo on CD here for the first time ever. The previous release featured the episode's complete score, but only as a monophonic version, as many of the multitrack masters for that particular episode have been lost. For that alone, this disc is worth owning, even if you have the Fanderson set.
However, it is Gray's music that is the true reason to own this soundtrack - regardless of your feelings about the series. Full bodied, sweeping, emotional and grand... not at all your typical seventies television soundtrack. Years before John Williams revived the popularity of orchestral scores for science fiction projects, Barry Gray was filling small screen speakers with epic music that would have sounded perfectly at home in a motion picture theatre.
Space 1999 Year One Soundtrack Available Once Again!.......2005-03-09
The year 1 music definately set the tone for the TV show back in 1975. It gave it beautiful character and feeling for the show. It was ashame that for the second year that they had changed so much (even the music) and lost that character and feeling (but that is a whole other debate).
In 1976, RCA records released the year 1 soundtrack with a beautiful gate fold cover and for about 20+ years, that is all we had, until Fanderson. The year 1 soundtrack is no longer available through them, but it is the most complete. This CD, however, does well to capture the feeling of year 1 and does throw an additional track for you sun bathers out there. It is a nice 30 year anniversary gift to myself. Happy 30th Birthday: SPACE 1999!!!

Album Description
Originally issued as a mid-price album in June 1972, Earthbound consists of highlights from Crimson's US tour from January to March of that year recorded on stereo cassette. Rejected for release by their American record company at the time, (due to poor sound quality) Earthbound was the first 'official bootleg' issued by a major rock group. It must have come as something of a shock for fans of their meticulous studio output to hear such a raw, aggressive sounding band. Declan Colan Music. 2005.Album Details
Originally Issued in June 1972, "Earthbound" Consists of Highlights from Crimson's Us Tour from January to March of that Year Recorded on Stereo Cassette. Rejected for Release by their American Record Company at the Time Due to Poor Sound Quality, "Earthbound" was the First "Official Bootleg" Issued by a Major Rock Group. It Must have Come as Something of a Shock for Fans of their Meticulous Studio Output to Hear Such a Raw, Aggressive Sounding Band - Such Rawness Would Not Find Favour Until the Punk Explosion of 1976/77. The Stark Nature of the Album, Signposted by the Cover and Carried Through to the Recording Itself in all Its Audio Verite Glory, Provided Some Essential Clues as to What Made Crimson Such a Vital Live Attraction on the Circuit of the Time. One Track Each from the Band's First and Fourth Albums, a Single B-side and Two Lengthy Improvisations Showed that the Studio Recordings were Merely Points of Departure for the Live Band.Customer Reviews:
too bad about the sound........2007-03-10
This isn't all that bad.......2006-12-15
Good performance, Rough sound.......2006-11-11
-Three stars for hardcore Crim-heads, completists or very open minded listeners
-One star for just about anyone else
-so, an everage of 2 stars
Although this CD features somewhat improved sound over the original vinyl (yes, it DID indeed sound worse than this), be warned that this is a bootleg C+ sound quality.
That being said, there is some fairly good music buried under the muddy, oversaturated sound. This is not the tight, focused Crim we've heard before, but a loose (sloppy?) jam version. This reason alone makes it worth a listen for the curious fan. Mel Collins' sax is very up front in the mix, quite different from the studio releases and very jarring on first listen. Fripp's guitar is often buried, Boz Burrell's vocals (which I never liked all that much) are electronically treated (VCS3?) with mixed results. Yet...on the rare occasion I pull this one out to listen to, I find myself enjoying it. I treat it as a stand-alone version of the ever-changing creature that is King Crimson.
There are now better sounding (and performed) recordings of this era and I urge you to serach these out first unless you are a completist or very adventurous.

Conner Carey!!!!.......2004-05-04
Thanks Conner for the Music...
Oh ya and hence why I wrote Conner Carey.. I think a duet with the woman herself would be the bomb
A soul of soothing essence.......2003-07-13
Conner Reeves has a beautiful voice, which encaptured me because of his ability to sing from the soul, heart and mind.
There are 10 songs on this album and all written or co-written by Reeves. I found the songs either sassy, sultry, soulful, uplifting or entailed with a tantalizing groove.
Highlights include My Father's Son, Earthbound and Ordinary People.
There are also Brooklyn Funk remixes of some songs, but are not included with this CD.
I finally obtained a copy of this CD but it was very difficult as they are no longer available.
Reeves is an exceptional vocalist and truly talented artist.
