5 out of 5 stars Miami's true saga of rock! 5/5 stars.......2007-06-26

I use to live in miami florida a heavenly city (but no friendly people) where the beach is unpolluted the tides were high and strong and the women were hot. We had a radio station kinda like V-rock called 94.9 ZETA! it had all kinds of heavy metal bands kinda like the ones in this sound track and best of all it had no crappy imitation metal bands like korn or slipknot back then just real talented metal bands like in this sound track. Ok onto my review ive played the game vice city and I bought the v rock sound track at circuit city these were the best 80's metal bands like judas priest/slayer/iron maiden & more. These were all my favorite bands and if your into these kind of 80's metal bands then you should buy this sound track. Oh I forgot to mention the hilarious commercials and the funny DJ host of v rock lazlow if your also into humor too you'll laugh your a** off at these extra tracks for real metal heads buy this sound track.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent album for a game soundtrack........2006-12-28

I find GTA: VC's soundtrack to be my favorite because it is set back in the 80's when rock n' roll and heavy metal is what it was all about. There are a lot of good bands on this CD which include: Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Megadeth, and Anthrax just to name a few.

One of the things I like most about GTA is how beautifully the creators select the songs on the soundtrack. GTA's soundtracks are among the best I have ever seen, only Guitar Heroes I and II can compare. If your a heavy metal fan get ahold of this CD, you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars The CD is missing a song.......2006-02-01

This is some great stuff, but i dont understand why "Cum on Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot isnt on there. Its one of my favorites on the station. Otherwise its a great CD.

4 out of 5 stars All The Rock You Want and Some You Don't .......2005-07-28

V-Rock contains great rock songs from the 80's. Rock music is mostly the only kind of music I ever usually listen to, and these songs fit the genre right. This cd is kind of like the radio, only it's not. Lazlow, the DJ, also has neat stuff to say about his career and the songs and other things. He is very cool. More interesting, however, is how he has the listener hear him talk for a minute or so after a few songs, and then at the end, he concludes the whole cd after 2 "commercials"....and not just right away.

5 out of 5 stars Good but what about the Metal Messiah's ?.......2004-07-12

EXCELENT CD GOOD SONGS BUT WHAT ABOUT METALLICA? THEY SHOULD AT LEAST PUT IN MASTERO OF PUPPETS.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent soundtrack.......2007-04-11

Elegant. Beautiful. Respectful of the original pieces while including new ones. A great CD for Tsubasa Chronicle fans, as well as everybody interested in the manga culture. Definitely a keeper, and worth every penny.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful soundtrack.......2007-01-09

Great sountrack to listen to when suffering from boredom. Favorites are ship of fools, BLAZE, and a song of storm and fire.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Series, Awesome OST!.......2006-05-21

Tsubasa Chronicle is an awesome new manga/anime made by CLAMP. This OST has every single song from the amazing first season. I must say I was really happy with this product. If you like Tsubasa, check out xxxHOLiC, also by CLAMP.

My favorite songs from it are: LOOP, BLAZE and Song Of Storm and Fire.

5 out of 5 stars Mind-blowingly good.......2006-01-16

Straight from the anime is the fabulous Tsubasa Chronicle OST. Done by Yuki Kajiura, who has done the music for other anime such as .hack//Sign, Madlax, and Noir, just to name a few, it's fantastically good. The songs blow me away every time I hear them, and i never get tired of listening to it on repeat. A Song of Storm and Fire and Ship of Fools are absolutely fantastic, and I Talk to the Rain and Morning Moon never fail to make me pay attention. It's an absolutely fantastic soundtrack, whether you've seen the anime or not.

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.......2002-08-20

This pricey UK import CD filled a lot of gaps in my music collection and is an excellent overview of notable music of (mostly) recent films. It's difficult to find consistently listenable soundtrack collections like this, by that I mean free from the obligitory Whitney Houston or Celine Dion embarrassments. Usually rights issues prevent comprehensive compilations like this in the US, too. While I enjoy a lot of soundtrack music, there aren't so many complete soundtracks that I would care to own, some examples of exceptions being Ennio Morricone scores and the About a Boy Soundtrack. While certainly most of these tracks are the actual recordings used in their respective films, I noticed that "La mamma morte" from Philadelphia is not the Maria Callas version. There might be other cases like this, I'm not sure. And "Unchained Melody" from Ghost is an orchestral version, not the pop song (but I consider this a plus). This collection seems to focus on the subtle and quirky, yet melodic music of indie films, with less emphasis on the loud sweeping orchestral scores of major Hollywood hits, but of course there are a few like Gladiator and Braveheart, which are welcome here because like I've said, I probably wouldn't listen to the whole score. I love the two Thomas Newman compositions from American Beauty, and it's good to have some music from films by the Cohen Brothers here. My only complaint would have to be the order of the songs. You would think they would avoid jumping back and forth between pop songs, orchestral scores, and quiet music, but it just seems thrown together by random. I would compare this collection to the excellent "Miramax Films Greatest Hits" but the makers of that album knew to group the two pop/rock songs at the end.

5 out of 5 stars More Under17? Gimme, gimme!.......2004-09-16

As usual, Under17 is right on target with this new CD. For lovers of Jpop, there is no better band that Under17 right now. The singer's voice still sounds like she is 10 years old. Extremly popish, fast, electronics backed craziness. Most people raised on bland "rock" won't get this at all, but who cares about them, right? In the tradition of Tomoe Shinohara, the Japanese continue to produce trully remarcable very slick pop work. It doesn't really matter if you can't speak any Japanese or not, the sheer energy of the work will sweep you and you will find yourself screaming Ichigo GOGOGO! along with the singer.

4 out of 5 stars Better than most all the ordinary FF soundtracks.......2007-01-24

First of all, people seem to be overly critical of the choir. They say that it sounds out of tune or whatever, but this is only because they were recorded live. In Advent: One-Winged Angel, the same choir sounds totally incredible. The choir itself isn't bad, it's the recording environment that was not so hot.
That said, I can say that this is a very impressive two CD set, even though several of the songs I don't recognize. The music is professionally composed and arranged, and just goes to show that Final Fantasy music is proffesional level. The only cons are the lesser sound quality of being recorded live and the MC tracks, which can get to be a bit long. The way they keep talking makes me really want to know what they're saying. My favorite pieces are:
1. One-Winged Angel: I do admit that the FFVII Reunion Tracks arrangement is better, but only because of the recording environment. This arrangement has a lot of cool new elements and an awesome sound. The only problems I see with this arrangement is the absent-minded microphone placement and a bit of background shuffling that is heard at one part. The shuffling is very quiet and you get used to it, but I'm just picky about these things. As for the microphone placement; whoever put one right next to the #%@$in' snare drum deproved the quality of the piece a bit much. The snare drum during the chorus is louder than any of the other parts, and the choir is already being a bit overpowered by the orchestra. This makes for a choral section that isn't heard well enough. Despite all these slight cons, however, this arrangement of the classic piece remains superb and awesome-sounding.
2. Liberi Fatali: Same choir rant as before. This arrangement doesn't sound quite as good as the original, but it's not really that different, it's still an incredible piece.
3. Melodies of Life: This arrangement is better, I think, than the original except for the singing. She sounded a lot more confident in the original. But aside from that, this song is a great classic.
4. Suteki Da Ne: The original was quite a bit better, both in sound quality and in the singing. Rikki was nervous during the performance, it is shown by her incessant breath-taking in the middle of phrases and low confidence in her voice. However, the instrumentation does sound nicely different in some spots, and Rikki's singing is still beautiful.
This album is a must-have for any FF freak, and is better than most all the ordinary FF soundtracks. Don't miss it.

5 out of 5 stars I love this CD........2004-02-23

Firstly, Mr. Gibbs -- why would anybody buy this if they haven't played Final Fantasy games?

Secondly, this is an amazing CD. With the exception of One-Winged Angel, every track on this CD is (in my opinion) the best orchestral version of these songs ever done. And this is coming from somebody who owns Celtic Moon, Grand Finale, Fithos Lusec, and a smattering of Orchestral Game Concert CDs.

Do yourself a favor and buy this CD. It really is excellent.

4 out of 5 stars For those who wanna get their FF orchestra groove on..........2004-02-20

Final Fantasy 20020220 is worth buying. It is a great CD to listen to if you want to hear orchestrated versions performed live, mistakes and all. That said, let me point out everything that is wrong with the performances, and why I did not give 20020220 a 5/5. As partial as I am to Final Fantasy music, I must criticize the singing in this performance. In both tracks that featured a choir (Liberi Fatali and One Winged Angel) it seemed like everyone was trying to outsing each other, the tenors in particular would sing awfully loud, while everyone else was drowned out. The soloists RIKKI and Emiko Shiratori did a fabulous job, in my opinon. Others said that they sounded nervous, I do not agree. The actual performance by the orchestra was brilliant. I especially liked Liberi Fatali, One Winged Angel, and Vamo' Alla Flamenco. I wish I could speak Japanese, because 8 of the 25 tracks on the 2 disc set are nothing but the concert MCs talking about stuff. All in all I would like to restate that FF20020220 is worth buying, but maybe you should play some of the FF games to hear these songs before you listen to the orchestra version, all the more to appreciate this masterpiece.

4 out of 5 stars The Fantasy Continues..........2003-06-10

Nobuo Uematsu truly holds true to the Final Fantasy music legacy he himself set down beginning with the Final Fantasy Symphonic Suite CDs. Although I do have a few complaints, my overall take on this album is extremely positive. I'd say my favourite renditions on this CD are "Vamo' Alla Flamenco", lush, rich arrangement for orchestra (which truly is the greatest symphonic rendering I've seen from almost any game composer [thanks to Shiro Hamaguchi]) and the brass-graced Final Fantasy VI's "Terra" / "Tina" (which almost lives up to the Grand Finale version). Basically, every single song on these two CDs were mind-blowing with the exceptions of the two most crucial ones, "Liberi Fatali" and "One-Winged Angel". Okay, fine... I've got to give credit where credit is due, Liberi Fatali isn't THAT bad. It falters near the end though, but the primary complaint isn't the symphonic elements (or even the annoying snare [?] drum... *grrr*), but rather the supposed choir they assigned. Not very harmonic or in-tune, but I still give it 4-stars.
To sum it all up, all very nice arrangements with those little differences which make it all the more enjoyable. Cons? The choir voices and the MC segments (I don't speak Japanese, so my apologies if you do and find them entertaining).

4 out of 5 stars One of the Best (non OST) Final Fantasy works.......2003-02-19

There hasn't been a live CD since the ill-fated "Symphonic Suite" many years ago and now there is this - quite simply put a live version of some of the best Final Fantasy songs. The Tokyo Philharmonic is on every beat and adds alittle more to the Final Fantasy melodies. The MC's get annoying and their Japanese is very hard to understand. The choice of songs was superb yet there is no "live feel" as most of the songs are played just as you would have heard them on another Final Fantasy CD. All in all, this is one of the best and one can easily see by some of its few flaws to its real beauty - the epitome of Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy work.

      That's right. Some of the music that was missing from the 5-CD Dragonball & Dragonball Z set can be found here, especially for Movie #3, which is a lot longer here. The arrangements of the sequences by which these musical pieces go are considerably noteworthy, as they differ completely from their "5-CD" counterparts. Movie #1 in particular has all its bombastic fighting songs showcased, and Movie #2 has that famous "Piccolo demonically posessed by Dr. Kochin" theme which was stupidly moved to "March of the Artificial Humans" for the 5-CD set. It makes so much sense to have it in Movie #2 as opposed to "March" BECAUSE IT WAS FROM EARLY ON IN THE SERIES, NOT LATER ON!

      I recommend this as a supplementary CD that goes great with the 5-CD set and also the new 3-CD set called "Dragon Ball Z Complete BGM Collection," of which you should check out my review.
