REVIEW

Feb. 21, 2000

This CD is devoted to war movie scores. There are only seven (7) tracks on this CD but they are all done as long suites of music.

I enjoyed this CD. It was a good mix of march music, fast paced war music and softer, lighter tunes. Not a bad CD to sit back and listen to in a relaxed atmosphere or with headphones.
