 Scoring High January 6, 2009
Christopher Cullen (Pittsburgh, PA)
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.

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.
Great for fans, excellent for those who've never seen the show December 18, 2008
The Taminator (The Other Side of the Mirror)
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. br / br /My personal standouts: br / br /"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. br / br /"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. br / br /"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. br / br /"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! br / br /"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. br / br /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.
The TV Score That Makes Film Scores Jealous December 11, 2008
Pat Shand (Freeport, NY USA)

Listening to this score, you might think it was crafted for a particularly epic feature film. But nope. Christophe Beck put together this intense, sweet, melancholy score together for the cult show Buffy The Vampire Slayer. His brooding but lively music was a perfect match for the brilliant show, and it is one of the few scores I've heard that is entirely listenable even without seeing it in the context of the show. br / br /All of the most memorable pieces from "Buffy" are here. From the intense range Beck shows on the opening track "Massacre," to the delicate "Remebering Jenny," to the swelling, beautiful strings of "Magic Snow Missile," to the tender piano of "Sacrifice," this score has it all and more. Fans might raise an eyebrow at the absence of "Close Your Eyes," but not only was that piece (probably Beck's most popular) included on the original soundtrack, but similar music--the Buffy/Angel theme--plays throughout a lot of the earlier tracks. "Massacre" goes from an epic battle score to the tender love theme as effortlessly as one takes a in a breath. br / br /The sheer beauty of the score is astonishing. I'm tempted to break into listing more of the tracks, but the simple fact is that most of these are standouts in their own way. Christophe is a truly talented man, and one of the many factors that went into making "Buffy" a classic piece of television perfection. The show couldn't have asked for a better score, and I'm thrilled to own it on disc. br / br /9/10
Beautiful Scoring October 16, 2008
Mr. Luke Crofts (North Wales)

If you enjoyed Buffy the experience was probably hightened by the amazingly beautiful under score that accompanied it. This CD is full of wonderful music from fun and upbeat to sad and scary. From the score of Buffy sending Angel to Hell, or the Gentlemen in Hush and the beautifully topped off with the score from The Gift when Buffy sacrifices herself. If this doesn't stir emothins within you nothing will.
