Free Music Review: Alas, Some Flaws
Hit: 2 Stars
There are some significant problems with this recording. As an avid fan of Dr. T since childhood, and as a former music teacher and amateur musician, I would have been one of the first to welcome a CD of the score and lyrics. But this one was a project poorly done.
The only musical excerpts included are songs with lyrics; the rest of the musical score is left out. This results in a short series of equally short tracks, and deletes some splendid background music. Without this music and parts of the dialogue, the songs are taken out of context, to their detriment.
The sound quality is much worse than in the VHS and DVD of the movie. It is far worse in the outtake tracks, which are so muted that it is difficult to grasp the melodies and to understand the lyrics.
I had hoped, as a final compensation, that the album insert would provide interesting information, but such was not to be. The accompanying essay was loaded with name-dropping and references to psychedelia; it's only saving grace was that it was short. It was followed by several pages of ads for other CD's. As such, a marvelous opportunity was lost. I must add that the writer's comparison of Dr. T to a drug trip was absurd. To anyone raised on the OZ books (including those by Baum's successor Ruth Plumly Thompson and others, who wrote dozens of them), the flights of fancy taken in Dr. T are a normal and delightful expression of imagination. Many of the people who were youths when Dr. T was produced were raised, in part, on those books. Many of them went on to raise their own children on both those books and Dr. T, and on similarly imaginative books such as the Raggedy Ann series with its ice cream mud puddles.
In addition, most people with a background in dance, costuming, music, and theater would see nothing drug-related, Freudian, etc., etc. about Dr. T. Likewise, people with a well-grounded knowledge of children's literature of that era would see nothing of the sort in this gentle movie. Architects would find the sets an inspiration.
If I may broach a suggestion: if you have the necessary computer equipment, you might prefer to copy the DVD soundtrack, or parts of it, onto a blank CD for your own personal use only (please avoid copyright infringement).
