Secondly, how good it is to hear the original 1923 version of Ralph Vaughan Williams' London Symphony (Symphony No.2). The late Richard Hickox is a master of the baton when it comes to English music, and this disc is no exception. Perhaps apart from Sir Adrian Boult, Hickox must be up there amongst the great coductors of Vaughan Williams. This is Vaughan Williams at his best; quality, originally and innovation, b...more

Premium Review Vaughan Williams - A London Symphony: A superb quality recording if the 1923 version (192 words)

Firslty, it seems appropriate to say something about the Chandos label as a whole. At a time when there are now many labels out there, many of which come and go at breakneck pace, it is good to see that the quality of Chandos has remained constant.

Urban Discipline - Biohazard
Greater variety, offering some great punk, faux-metal and faux-rap stuff or sumptin'. Within each style, the songs are repetitive.

Uncivilization: Limited Edition - Biohazard
Greater variety than is customary for late Biohazard. Too much emphasis on guest performers, and a disappointing nu-metal trend overall.

The Final Conflict - Jerry Goldsmith - Soundtrack
Grade A Jerry Goldsmith magnificence Apart from some more suspenseful moments, none at all

Tales From The B-side - Biohazard
Greater variety than the studio albums, with a few more punk offerings. Remixes only make bad songs worse.

State Of The World Address - Biohazard
Firmly establishes the template Biohazard sound. Greater rap influence will deter some hardcore punk fans.

No Holds Barred: Live - Biohazard
A strong collection of songs in an energetic performance. Punk songs aren't as well represented, and are rushed through.

New World Disorder - Biohazard
Plenty of breakdowns for hardcore mosh fans. Dull, monotonous and lacking in energy.

Damien Omen 2 - Soundtrack
A good horror score in fantastic presentation Too reliant on the first Omen score for much of the time

Alien - Soundtrack
Complex, intellectual and a great horror score But, as horror scores go, suffers from same problems of not being a very "nice" listen

Aliens: The Deluxe Edition - Soundtrack
Incredibly powerful and atmospheric, brilliant composition and execution None
