REVIEW

Disc 5 covers material is from 1985 to 1993. Along with Disc 2 and Disc 4, I really enjoyed this CD.Track #1 starts out with a haunting theme somewhat reminiscient of "Planet Of The Apes". The track has a lot of flute music in it and the main theme is repeated throughout the suite. Overall a sad, haunting type of music. Track #2 has parts that are similar to Track #1 but also contains happy sounding, mid tempo type tunes. Track #3 is the short one here and has a lot of what sounds like children singing. Track #4 is very sweet sounding violin music for the most part.
