Customer Reviews an excellent recording It's worth it alone in buying the CD. The version of "Memories Of Green" that appears here is far better than the original later released. The overall quality and playing of the music is excellent. I also have the official OST and its also fine in its own way. Doesn't have the narration, sounds different than original vinyl, but good To clarify, since a lot of people don't seem to like this. . I think it sounds considerably different than my original LP from way back when. But I think it actually sounds a little better. . . and I like the fact that there aren't people talking (narration) because I think it better represents the original movie. But I guess this is the same as why people don't like the different endings, whether any one in particular was the actual intended ending. But the original book is different from what the movie turned out to be, so I imagine it will change even more (music and movies) through the evolution of the generations, since this is a classic. Maybe we should appreciate all versions of the CDs. . Orchestra adaption plays out much better than original Even the Vangelis CD has idiotic movie voice overs inserted into the music, giving it an aged and inadequate "artsy" quality, taking away from any aesthetic it could offer. This is far better than the Vangelis soundtrack. Within the orchestra version, I originally felt a little dissapointed by what appeared to be a limitation in the available tracks, however it turns out that the reprised version choose to be an adequate choice. Though, I do admit to wanting some additional music that clearly was omitted, though it is acceptable given what I perceive of limitations in Vangelis CD. The sound quality has a very high sample rate, and with a high end sound system, it sounds extraordinary! Many tracks are FAR better produced, surpassing Vangelis, in that sense. If only they included some missing tracks, I would rate it 6 out of 5. . You can see a complete list of all The New American Orchestra, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, M.
