Of course I would simply be rehashing what the majority have been saying: This is not a soundtrack, but a collection of 60s tunes you can get off Limewire.

I haven't found out yet why this only had Michael Kamen's main theme and closing theme and omitted Mason Daring's outstanding work for Spider or James Newton Howard's piece for Apollo 11.

The two stars are for Michael Kamen (Rest in Peace). As for the rest of the music, I either own some of it or my Mom has it!

Wait until the studio wises up and figures out how to release original music. Forget this disc.

Wonderful CD, that really brings you back to the series and the time that the Apollo events took place. Although the cd contains only two tracks from Michael Kamen (opening and ending theme) the cd is still absolutely worth buying. It would not however be such a bad idea to accompany the release of the Signature Edition of From The Earth to the Moon with a new soundtrack as well containing more of the brilliant music composed by Michael Kamen. Till then we just have to be satisfied with the two tracks on this cd. October 7, 2005

Some of the prettiest music I've heard on a soundtrack ever is played during this mini series. What were they thinking! The song played during the episode "Spider" when the LEM was completed is what made me go out and purchase this. The mixture of oboe, mandolin, clarinet and french horns we so wonderful with the repeating melody that I can hear the entire orchestration in my head note for note. Between that exclusion and so many others, I was so disappointed that I immediately gave it away. I can gather the songs online that they have on this CD all by myself so I can't think of any reason anyone in their right mind would bother buying this. If I could give this 2 negative stars, I would. This is just like a BLACK HOLE....don't let it suck you in!!! September 7, 2005

As others have already noted, it would have been nice if more of the series' original score music was included on this CD, but the track listing is there for anyone to see prior to purchase. I'm curious as to why there are a dozen reviews of this CD posted by one particular reviewer here ...what's the point of that? September 4, 2005

It pays to not assume.... (read the fine print)
I suppose its my own fault for assuming that the music on this CD was the SCORE not the SOUNDTRACK, terms that are often misused.
The real selling point of the music for the Earth to the Moon Series, is of course, the SCORE. The "throwins" like the Byrds, and other 60's memorabilia, is not what a new CD should be about. I HAVE the 60's retro tracks in 12 other forms.. How about something NEW here.
I am sure that Michael Kamin can rerelease his theme on another compilation of his own, but what about the other music.. How and when can we get to that? Maybe never. More shallow thinking from record companies. April 13, 2002
