    Good cd, but probably too much for one sitting though. Lots of different styles to this score and an excellent running time of 75 minutes. I think you'll like this one.

    I've given the whole CD (all hour and 15 minutes worth ) a listen now and I'll make a few comments.

    First off, the recording and performance sound fantastic. The Prague Philharmonic did a fantastic job with Mr. Frank's music. Specifically, It's full of strong playing from the brass section. (How about that!)

    There are quite a few good cues. Unfortunately, some of the music drones on and on with out much interesting stuff taking place. "The Clock is Ticking" is one cue that was better heard in the show instead of alone on CD.

    Like Hard Target mentioned, there are a handful of different styles represented in this music.

    "751 Sheep" mixes some traditional songs together with a fun result. I don't think you'll find another tune where both "Mary had a Little Lamb" and the "Wedding March" make an appearance in the same piece. With this track playing, I can't help but imagine Charlie in my mind as he tries to count all those sheep...

    My favorite cue on the disc would have to be "Sancti Petri," which is a Spanish-flavored cue. It reminds me of "El Toro" from the Elvis movie Fun in Acapulco.

    The liner notes, from the executive producers of the show, mention that the original Mole from Belgium used various film music for the show. The Americans didn't want to pay re-use fees, so instead we have this fine composition by David Michael Frank. It's no Masada, but it's still some good music to listen to. 3.75/5
