Amazon.com Composer Fred Mollin is certainly prolific, but as this second installment of music from the vampire serial Forever Knight proves, he does not merely recycle his own ideas. Granted, there are familiar Knight motifs here, such as when a harp melody gets trampled by massive tom-toms in "Faithful Followers," but Mollin provides new variations as well, including the tribal drumming on "Suite from Blackwing" and the enhanced use of angelic choir on certain tracks. Furthermore, this recording is more restrained than its predecessor, making it a nice companion piece to the original. Toronto torch singers Lori Yates and Molly Johnson make welcome return appearances. Fans of the series will be pleased with volume 2, especially its emotional finale, "Last Knight." --Bryan Reesman Similarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews"He was brought across in 1228...." Veggiechiliqueen | 03/08/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Forever Knight" was a fabulous(ly cheesy) Canadian sci-fi series that was filmed and set in Toronto. It lasted for three seasons and revolved around the unlife of Toronto homicide detective Nick Knight, a 700-year old vampire who longed to be mortal and redeem himself from centuries of killing and blood.Much of the soundtrack's score is devoted to the flashback scenes from centuries past, of the bloodlust that consumes Nick, his master LaCroix, and his lover/vampire sibling Janette, so it is appropriately dark and moody, with heavy percussion, ominous strings and sudden crashes. This album features some new elements from the previous "Forever Knight" soundtrack, most notably the tribal drumming on "Suite from Blackwing" and more of a choir effect. There are also clips by Nick Knight's partner-in-uncrime Donald Schanke (John Kapelos)--(the first album featured readings by Nick's vampire master Lucien LaCroix), including a humorous answering machine message and reflections on Nick's strangeness. There are two encore readings and musings by LaCroix (Nigel Bennett) as well as a couple of clips by the elusive Nick Knight (Geraint Wyn Davies) himself.The music is 100% synth(etic), which may be a turnoff for some but Fred Mollin's music sets the stage perfectly for midnight prowls through Toronto's seedier, darker side. The songs with vocals by Torontonian Lori Yates (originally a country singer) are my favourite parts of the soundtrack. There are four songs from the third and final season: "The Night Calls My Name," "Heart of Darkness," "Destiny's Edge" and "Break the Silence" (performed by Molly Johnson).These songs are dark and brooding, played in LaCroix's vampire/Goth club "The Raven" (the actual building was the Fluid Lounge at 217 Richmond W). "Forever Knight" was a fun romp through the (very familiar) streets of Toronto that dealt with some of our big-city issues: politics, crime, and the homeless for example, combining them with parallel stories from Nick's vampiric past. This is a must-have companion for fans of "Forever Knight," along with the other soundtrack CD "Forever Knight." There were also three FK novels published: "These Our Revels" by Anne Hathaway-Nayne, where Nick performs in Shakespeare's company, "Intimations of Mortality" by Susan M. Garrett, and "A Stirring of Dust" by Susan Sizemore. Pick them up if you can find them: they are out-of-print and hard to locate. Although the show is no longer on the air, the vampiric legacy of Nick Knight lives on through the music of Fred Mollin. Ten stars and lots of happy memories!" The soul and heart of FOREVER KNIGHT lives on in Volume II! Anthony Scheinman | Forest Hills, NY USA | 07/11/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "I had thought that releasing the first FOREVER KNIGHT soundtrack album was a joy of joy,s but it only gets better with the release of more of Fred Mollins' haunting music, more of Nigel Bennett's mocking thoughts and speeches as the voice of "LaCroix", and now the inclusion of the voice of Detective Schanke (John Kapelos), whose character was killed off at the beginning of Season Three, and as an unexpected joyous bonus .... the voice of Nick Knight himself, Geraint Wyn-Davies, in a moving speech from the very last episode of the series! More of the driving songs from Lori Yates inside "The Raven" and suites from Season Three episodes make this album a must for any true FOREVER KNIGHT fan .... or even anyone who's into music that captures the ear as well as the heart!" THIS CD ROCKS! Wolfy380@aol.com | Milwaukee, Wisconsin | 11/17/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Forever Knight on its own is enough to get me to buy this CD, but the CD it's self is very well put together. Lori Yates is the best vocals i've heard in a long time. i wish i could find a CD by her. BUY THIS CD! I know you will enjoy it!"
