The soundtrack arrived within about a week. (I never opt for faster delivery.) It was exactly what I wanted and, as far as I can tell, plays flawlessly.

The Pirates of Penzance

from: Elektra / Wea

Release Date February 24, 1998
This is a wonderful DVD. I got this as a stop gap until the VHS came out on DVD, but now I may not. Yes, the technical aspects are not the best. But it is the filming of an actual performance at the Delacorte Theater. It's not as slick as the production with Angela Landsbury, but Patricia Routledge, later to be Hetty Wainthrop and Hyacinth Bucket, more than holds her own, and the production has those small details that usually are left out of a much-edited and rehearsed film. You really get the feeling you are there watching a live performance. If you are a G&S fan, this is a DVD you must have. It is a gem of a performance, with wonderful actors/singers.

Pacific Ocean Blue [3 LP Vinyl]

by: Dennis Wilson

Release Date June 24, 2008
I have been a beach boys fan for ten years, I know their catalog quite
well from the greatest hits to the most obscure tracks. I also knew dennis beach boys work well, i thought he wrote some great songs on the sunflower album and I liked love surrounds me from the miu album a lot.
i thought dennis was a good song writer and argubably the second best
songwriter in the beach boys behind brian. after listening to pacific ocean blue and bambu, i learned dennis was a great songwriter.
His solo work far surpasses anything he did with the beach boys.
Dennis had a style all of his own. i liked every song on pacific ocean blue and bambu the caribou sessions had a lot of brillance as well.
some of my favorite tracks ... Read More:

War of the Worlds

by: John Williams

Release Date June 28, 2005
For War of the Worlds, John Williams reached for something not of this earth and composed a score that you feel on your skin, even before you become aware that you are actually hearing it. He has laid down a musical foundation of atmospherics and textural events, achieving a rhythmic propulsion that is so utterly primal it crawls up inside you and makes you wonder how one composer could make such a radical departure of style from such masterworks of melodic phrasing as the flying theme from E.T., to the enduring themes of the Star Wars series and come up with a new sound that gives War of the Worlds much of its ultra-realism. But that is the genuine genius of John Williams and the many characters he has played throughout a musical career that will never ... Read More:

The Punisher

This is a pretty good soundtrack. I remember seeing the movie at the theatre in 1989. The music reached at and grabbed you. The soundrack is now here. This gets high marks.

Dreamgirls in Concert (2001 Concert Cast)

by: Henry Krieger, Audra McDonald, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Emily Skinner, Darius de Haas

Release Date February 26, 2002
Having seen the original Broadway production and being very familiar with that soundtrack, I was disappointed by this. While I'm glad to have a complete recording, I just felt like it lacked the spark of both the Broadway and movie recordings, especially Audra McDonald's performance (which surprised me). I'm not talking about the difference in quality because it's a live recording - I'm talking about the performances themselves. The feeling behind the words and music wasn't really there.

Chicago [Limited Edition w/ Bonus DVD]

from: Sony

Release Date March 18, 2003
The movie was sensational, it seems almost impossible to capture all of it in a soundtrack, but they did a wonderful job of it. Every sngle song captured the spirit of the movie, it was almost like going to a broadway musical because of the quality of this music. Catherine Zeta- Jones did a amaizing job of singing the songs "All That Jazz", "Cell Block Tango", "I cant Do it Alone",and so many more. This music is almost magical, I would recammend this soundtrack for anyone!
