Great compilation - and that's just the first half........2005-09-14

I first got this on cassette in the summer of '94 and listened to it every day, drawn by its thematic range and compositional depth. And that was just side-one.

Elfman pioneered the sound that drives today's movie adaptations of comic-books and darker-themed children's stories. Side-One kicks things off with a rollicking, hyper-cartoonish theme from the first Pee-Wee movie - the one where Pee-Wee searches for his beloved bike. Elfman's theme contains layers of different rides - on tightropes, highways, in the middle of a NASCAR rally - which rudely yet melodically crash into each other.

The Batman entry actually contains several pieces - the opening credits, the extended sequence in the cathedral and the climax - which show Batman's darkened extreme at its "Frank Miller" best. (Dir. Tim Burton couldn't sustain the mood in the next sequel, and the franchise took a turn towards the camp of the TV series with the next 2 movies.)

The theme for "Dick Tracy" is perhaps the most romantic on this disc, a quality that surpasses the theme's comic-book origins, but ends on an ironic note that's pure Elfman.

"Beetlejuice" (opening & closing credits) gives Elfman's childish ID a chance to stretch its legs, or in this case, slam-dance.

"Nightbreed" is an enigma wrapped in a dark mystery, and that's just Elfman's score. Elfman's work on this movie is as good as the movie wasn't, having a more powerful narrative than the script - easily the best track on the entire disc, one likely to exceed the movie in its dose of chills.

"Darkman" doesn't quite rise to the occasion, though the score may be hobbled by the movie itself, which seldom surpassed one of the many "Batman" clones of the early 1990's. "Darkman" (the movie, I mean) excelled as a parody of many comicbook staples (the wronged hero, the relentless villain, the scientific breakthrough with just one flaw), but not enough to escape being largely anonymous. Within those constraints, it's still a moving if scary piece.

When is Elfman not like Elfman? When he was in the mid-late `80's and scored "Back to School" (A Rodney Dangerfield vehicle) and "Midnight Run". Horns in "School" bring it closer to Elfman's over-the-top style, while "Run" sounds like a love-theme for the run-down, out-of-the-way parts of America that seldom appear in Elfman-movies. "Run" is a fun score for a fun movie - it's nothing like Elfman's previous work but it perfectly captures the on-the-road-without-a-map craziness of the movie.

To this day, I don't know why I never ventured to Side-two, but it's irrelevant. Even half this disc is worth it

The best of Elfman!!!.......2005-09-05

I was obsessed about getting this CD right from when I heard about it. I found it at the library and was so excited about it, and it didn't let me down. In fact, it was a lot better than I expected. It's a fun and creepy (strange mix, but it really works!) collection of Danny Elfman's film and television soundtracks. The first track, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, is probably my favorite. Also, I really like Batman and Wisdom. Batman is creepy and dark, and Wisdom is just weird, in the best possible way.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes film music, or everyone who is even the tiniest bit an Elfman fan. It's amazing!

Great Collection, A LIttle Too Eclectic.......2003-08-19

You should be able to tell from the movies and TV shows listed here whether or not you'd be interested in this collection. It's a little too eclectic for my tastes (hence only 4 stars) but better than volume 2. I think thatthe miscellaneous collected ites here along with the previously unreleased stuff should make this worth buying. Especially if you're a fan of Elfman's movie soundtrack work.

What Great Music.......2003-05-11

I fell in love with the music of Danny Elfman when Beetlejuice came out. There was something different about the music that he made. When Edward Scissorhands, and then Nightmare Before Christmas - I knew this man was a musical master. Its the verbal form of surrealism.

super.......2003-04-17

What a great CD. Danny's music is so original and inventive. this CD contains his pre 90's quirky, gothic music. it's all very well written and beautifully orchestrated. batman and darkman contain some really excellent long, dark, gothic cues that really take u away from reality. in my opinion no one, apart from howard shore, is as inventive and original as danny in the world of filmmusic. he far surpasses the repetitive works of williams or horner. buy this, and volume two, and keep supporting one of the greatest film composers of all time.ohh...and buy fellowship of the ring and two towers by howard shore....amazing work!

Crunchy Black - From Me To You.......2007-06-29

Hypnotize Minds releases from "From Me To You" (2007) an album from former long-time group member Crunchy Black (A.K.A. Darnell Carlton) who left Three 6 Mafia in 2006 due to financial issues, other conflicts and the lengthy delay of his solo album. This release contains eleven central tracks, and five Dragged And Chopped versions.The album intro open's with "Do Da Crunchy Black", which has Tennesse's Crunchy Black rhyming over typical Three 6 Mafia production. "Catch Up With Your Kind" features an appearance from DJ Paul, and has Crunchy talking to his haters. On "3 Different Kinds of Weed" Crunchy shows his love for getting blunted. "Black On Black" is a dedication to cruising in the whip, while "Snitchin Azz B*****" features an appearance from Juicy J, both rapper's rhyme about rats. The best track on this release for me is the standout "Twin 45's" a certified banger, which has Crunchy Black in his best form, delivering on point lyrics and a solid hook - backed by a thumping beat. "Catch That Cut" &"I Play B*****" are typical cuts which lack some energy. The "Let's Plan A Robbery" (Remix) is another solid cut which works. The next track's fall under skip material, then the rest of the album are screwed up track's. One thing to be noted about this release is it was composed by Hypnotize Minds so that Crunchy Black could be released from an album contract. He did not have a hand in developing this release (never gave permission and did not want it released), and is currently working on his own solo album "Money Mask". Crunchy Black has a distinct flow, never had a problem knowing who he was listening to Three 6 Mafia releases of the past, I think he will provide a better album when he has creative control of his next project. "From Me To You" is a mediocre release with a few catchy track's - dedicated Three 6 Mafia fans may want this one for their collection.

Bangin.......2007-06-20

This album is bangin! Apparently it was put together without Crunchy's consent, which ain't cool, but still, this album is really, really good. This is my joint for the summer!

For those late to the Soul Asylum party, which began in 1981 on cozy Minneapolis stages as Loud Fast Rules, the "Best-Live-Band-in-the-Country" badge pinned on them by countless longtime fans from David Letterman to George Wendt may seem like an exaggerated yarn. After the Flood finds the foursome at the pinnacle of their runaway-train popularity, a potent, airtight foursome living up to its reputation on a Saturday night at an airplane hangar in North Dakota, circa 1997, playing for high schoolers in a northern town ravaged by floods that summer. The applause meter on "hits" like "Black Gold," "Misery" and "Runaway Train" proves that most of the audience hopped aboard during 1993's Gravedancer's Union. And while the band fails (purposely neglects?) to sample from its essential punk rock back pages--Made to Be Broken or While You Were Out--it manages to revive those legendary stage chops on a half-dozen covers, including a metalish jaunt through Alice Cooper's "School's Out," a straight shot of Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now," a flannel-soul edition of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" and LuLu's "To Sir With Love," on which chameleon vocalist Dave Pirner wails with grace. -- Scott Holter

Customer Reviews:

Good album, great memories.......2005-03-25

I thought this was a great album as well, mostly because I was there was well. I not only attended the prom the two previous years, but also went to this prom a year after I graduated (I subsequently went to two more proms after that) and this music brings back good memories.

Normally I listen hip-hop when I drive my civic around town, but I give this album a thumbs up.

Great Live CD - Great Cover Choices.......2005-02-26

This band is a phenomenal live band and this CD features them playing a great set list at the peak of their popularity. While their most memorable hits are here, what really makes this set list great is the cover tunes that they chose to play. The extraordinary Alice Cooper rock anthem 'School's Out' kicks the CD off. 'I Can See Clearly Now' is very appropriate given that they were playing a post flood prom. 'To Sir With Love' is awesome. 'I Know' is really fun to listen to. Even 'Rhinestone Cowboy' is given the royal rock treatment and becomes a sing along favorite. I gotta believe that this track was added for the cheesiness factor, but it's done very well.

The only negative to this CD is that Dave Pirner's voice sounds off at times during Misery. But I didn't mind that so much because it only adds to the credibility of this being a true live CD and not an over produced piece trying to pass for a live CD.

I've seen Soul Asylum live multiple times. They are an incredible live band. It's great to be able to be able to bring that energy home or in the car via this CD. I'm impatiently awaiting their next studio album. (Soul Asylum, if you are reading this, I'd love to hear you guys cover Shawn Cassidy's `That's Rock & Roll' for the cheesiness factor. I think you could make it rock) This is an excellent buy. Do yourselves a favor and buy this CD.

Excellent.......2005-02-18

One of the best live albums I have ever picked up. Thanks Sony, thanks Soul Asylum. This needed to get out!

I was there..........2005-01-28

Wow, I can't believe this got released! I was at the hanger for the Prom that night... the only High School dance I ever attended. I can tell you first hand that the atmosphere in the town at the time was pretty depressing. Most everyone I knew had lost pretty much everything they owned; houses, vehicles and almost everything else was fair game for the raging Red River that spring.

Our graduating High School class had spent the weeks leading up to the eventual evacuation sandbagging the dikes around the river, trying (in vain it turned out) to keep the flooding river out of our homes and lives.

Many families didn't realize the severity of the situation until the National Guardsmen came to our doors and told us to "pack for about 3 days, you need to be gone in 2 hours". That 3 days turned into upwards of 2 months for many of us. Friends were seperated with no way to get back in touch with one another and not knowing who was going to make it back for graduation... or even if we were going to have one.

When they announced that we would be still having a graduation and would even still hold the Prom, we were ecstatic. It was a much needed break from all the rebuilding that was going on. Even more exciting; somehow, someway, someone had managed to get Soul Asylum to agree to play our Prom!

When Soul Asylum took the stage, the energy in the hanger was palpable... you could almost taste excitement in the air. They didn't just *play* for us though, they got up there and poured their hearts into making the best of a bad situation for us and for that, I will be forever grateful. It was a stellar show and made for some pretty interesting stories when we started returning tuxedo's with tore-off sleeves and jackets that got ripped while crowd surfing.

Thanks again gentleman for giving yourselves to a town that needed a little pick me up, it was a much needed boost and it's not something that we'll soon forget!

Great music recorded live...doesn't get any better than this.......2005-01-26

I have several live Soul Asylum albums...this one takes the cake. I've seen them live in person before, but I can only imagine what this one felt like to be there. They are indeed the best live band you could see live. You can tell that Soul Asylum poured their hearts and souls into this performance. A forgettable tragedy turns into an unforgettable night that student will always remember and fans can listen in on again and again. You will not regret it.

Soul Asylum, just toned down a little.......2006-09-20

This is probably Soul Asylum's most mellow album. It lacks the intensity of some of their earlier work but it is still tuneful in most places. It has some pretty good songs most notably I will still be laughing and New York Blackout. I only had Grave Dancers Union and Let Your Dim Light Shine when I bought this one and upon first few listens I kept thinking "Man, come on wheres the get up and go?" I appreciate it for what it is, a decent, mellow Soul Asylum record which is better than most music out there. Its not their best album but it isnt bad either.

Skip it.......2006-09-11

I love Soul Asylum. I like every single other one of their releases, and downright love some of them.
This cd is chock full of boring, uninspired, defeated, depressing songs that lyrically, sonically, and emotionally sound phoned in. This is the one they put out because they had to. Skip it.
