Star Wars tracks are mediocre, the rest are cool July 18, 2005

The title of this compilation is "Star Wars", and half the CD consists of the concert suite from the original Star Wars movie. I have to say this is one of the most mediocre orchestral renditions of Star Wars Episode IV that I have heard. That being said, This CD is still worth purchasing if you can find it. The "Cantina Band" track is a cool big band arrangement, which isn't too bad. Richard Hayman's arrangement of 2001 is quite good with a jazzy extension after the end of the fanfare,the Battlestar Galactica track is the best track on the CD mixing the main title and other themes from the show. Meteor is a good track, simply because this is the only compilation I have heard this track up until Silva's Space 3 a couple years ago. The Alien and Close Encounters tracks are so-so.
