3 stars This is a big pile of stuff, collecting the majority of Irmin's original Filmmusik Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and Rote Erde plus the single "Roll On Euphrates" from "Musk at Dusk". If I don't miss anything, there are also around 5 tracks that are not on any original album (but may be on other samplers). These are not overly spectacular and not a major reason to buy this. As should be expected with more than 216 minutes of soundtrack music, it's a bit hit and miss, and the order does not necessarily follow a "musical logic" (particularly it doesn't start off very strongly) ), but I generally agree with what has been selected from the original albums for inclusion and exclusion, so you here have all the material you need to appreciate these works. I'm not generally keen on reviewing samplers but I review this one because it's the major way to actually get hold of the earlier film music albums that I believe otherwise are no longer available. I give this three stars because that's just fair given the amount of second class material, but remember it's very very long and there is certainly a lot of 4 and even 5 stars material to discover here (see reviews of original albums for more information).
