3 out of 5 stars Star Wars tracks are mediocre, the rest are cool.......2005-07-19

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.
