Free Music Notes for The Best Of Mission: Impossible Then And Now - Music From The Original Television Soundtracks Album
Free Music Review: Unmissable.
Hit: 5 Stars
Crescendo has done their usual good job in assembling this material. Unlike Lalo Schifrin's "Music from" album, which was really a "Music as originally composed for" album that in some cases bore little relation to what was used on the show, this disc was apparently made from the same tapes that went into the actual TV show soundtrack.
One interesting effect of that: The recording for the original series was done in *monaural!* So that's what this disc is, until you get to the tracks for the 90's series. Oh well.
The track lineup comprises a number of "suites" of music cues from various episodes, some short, some long. Together the tracks form a good representative sample of the actual, on-screen music of M:I over the years. Furthermore they fit together well in a sequence, leaving with you the impression that you were actually listening to a few episodes; you somehow just missed the dialog.
There is an interesting interview with Peter Graves (conducted before the execrable Tom Cruise movies) and a horribly recorded take of Lalo Schifrin conducting a symphony orchestra in the M:I theme. Both IMO are wasted track space that should have gone to more selections of authentic M:I music. Because of them, if I could have given this disc 4.5 stars, I would have; as it is, they don't detract enough to take a '5' down to a '4'.
If you were a fan of the original series -- and who wasn't? -- this disc is just too much fun not to have. There will be a run on it when the original series comes out on DVD this year. Buy it now.
