 Not only for the sentimental value...

well,i bought it for this one reason only..to have something as a fan.
but then, as always Buffy surprises you. it's always more to this show than meets the eye (and so many people don't see it).
Same with this score. imho Buffy's music from seasons 1 and 2 is sucky, and there is a great bunch of tracks from those times..
now..season 3 and 4 - this is something special.
My most favorite Buffy's track (probably from the whole show run) is
A Really Big Sandbox (from "Restless"). I think it sums up pretty well the whole nature of the slayer, this track is so mystical, spiritual and original..
senond best would be Faith's End (from "Graduation Day").
now 2 tracks that are sooo sad and beautiful, you'd be almost to the point of crying,
Slayer's Elegy (from "The Wish")
Sacrifice (alternate version, from "The Gift")
and then, what i like most about those tracks, they sorta brings you the feeling of content, calm acceptance and a promise of future.
Remebering Jenny is also very good.
There a few tracks you might put on as a background
(like Moment of Happiness, Loneliness of Six, Sugar High, From the Grave )
Everything else is, well, pretty poor. i mean those other tracks just sorta go with the scene and are just meant to get across whatever that is going on TV; they don't really sparkle any talent.
Rounding up though, 5 amazing tracks on one CD - I would rate it high. really high.

| Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Score is an excellent way for fans to relive the classic and memorable moments of their favorite series. It ranges from epic battles to grieving moments. There is scarcely a mood unexpressed by Christophe Beck's phenomenal compositions. |

 half-Buffy

| It's a very good selection, but unfortunately there are two and a half seasons missing.I guess they should do a second cd with the part missing, like the score of the final chapter on the seventh season. But at least is a very good item to purchase for good fan of the serie. |

I'm not a hardcore fan of Buffy, but I do have my favorite episodes. I'm also a TV/movie score addict, occasionally finding myself haunted by a particular theme or track I hear, often at unexpected times. With Buffy, I came to expect that higher standard of gripping music, and Christophe Beck always delivered! This CD is by no means a comprehensive collection, but it's an excellent way to start.
My personal standouts:
"Magic Snow Music" is exactly that. It's a track you could easily add to a Christmas playlist and a faerie/fantasy playlist at the same time. When I listen to it, I am instantly transported to a skating pond in the middle of a forest carpeted with thick, fresh snow and a gentle cascade of snowflakes coming down around me. If the title hadn't subliminally caused me to be thinking about snow, I might have found myself in the middle of Fern Gully. It's such a romantic, lovely track that you'll instantly fall in love with it.
"Sacrifice Alternate Version" really sounds like the version played in the episode "Bargaining Part 1," even if it isn't. If you like that music, or that scene, this track will be a must-have for you. It's a little more melancholy than the original, as well as less dramatic. If you're looking for the original version of "Sacrifice" from "The Gift," you'll want to get Once More, With Feeling, if you don't already have it. The climax of the original is much more heroic, where this one leaves me feeling like it didn't quite reach a certain height, but I do recommend both versions.
"Remembering Jenny" sounds as though Beck might have taken every other note out of the Buffy/Angel theme, added a vocal and a couple of twists to come up with a totally different track that still fits in very easily with the rest of the score. This is a slow, sentimental piece that is sad and peaceful all at once.
"Angel Waits" is creepy, oh so icky-- and I love it! The percussion makes me think of footsteps echoing in an empty cavern or sewer. Lock your doors, board up the windows and string up the garlic, folks!
"A Really Big Sandbox" is short, but powerful, with a Middle Eastern overtone that will take you to a desert in Egypt at sunrise with sand swirling around you. It could very easily be the lament of a vampire . If you like the vocals by Mamak Khadem here, be sure to check out the Dracula 2000 score by Marco Beltrami--- IF you can find it.
Being Buffy, this score contains many great action tracks as well. I don't think you have to be a fan of Buffy to appreciate this score, but if you are, get this NOW. If you're not a fan, get this NOW. In fact, if you've never seen Buffy or Angel, but you love scores and good music in general, I think you'll like it even more. Without having heard the tracks in their original context, you'll be able to make your own pictures in your mind, and you'll like them that much more. Definitely take advantage of the MP3 previews here on Amazon and listen to what we're talking about. Buy it, listen to it, love it. |
