"The best part about the A-Team (besides no one getting hurt, the homemade weapons, the Team member's personalities, and the bad badguys) was the music. From the intro, to Face srenading his girl-du-jour, or Murdock talking to his invisible dog, to B.A. helping out at the Youth Center, to the raging firefights and homemade weapons, to the end credits, the music in A-Team was always appropriate for the setting, and always good. I love it when a soundtrack comes together!"

This rocks! --Totally psyched to accept a mission!!

"Awesome CD dudes! I listened to some of the samples and it ROCKS! I agree with like all the other comments. You know, I almost forgot about this show and I can't believe I did, because cranking it up to eleven on "The A-Team Theme" really brings back those heady, heady glory days back in '82-'84 -- can you believe it only ran those three years, considering the impact it had on American -- if not world culture?! The ripples of this show still reverberate outwards into all our lives (who knows how far outward -- there may well be some alien fans of Mr T out there -- way out there! oh yeah!!). Sure I chuckled at first, thinking, oh come on, how can you separate the music from the groundbreaking show itself -- and why would you want to? But the truth is, of course, that there are times when you can't watch it on TV, like when you're driving and stuff (I unlike some of you cannot afford that mini-van with the built in home entertainment system; yes, you detect envy, guilty as charged), but when you might want to still have some of the flavor of the show in your life, and so what these CDs (woops -- it's only ONE cd -- wishful thinking I guess) do is to do just that. For driving probably "Taxi Chase" would be good. Or when you're working around the house with power tools, etc. -- now you can drill and saw and snake your toilet line all to the accompaniment of these turbo-charged numbers, such as "The A-Team Prepare for War", or maybe "Move, Sucker" (as in, whatever's clogging your toilet better friggin get outta the way pronto!). Just depends on your mood I guess. Indeed, I was intrigued by the poignancy of the track 2 title: "Young Hannibal" And sure enough when I listened to the brief taste of it a whole series of associations flooded into my consciousness having to do mostly with the character hannibal (mostly I say -- a few of the tender emotions evoked involved my own adventure-filled glorious youth, and I'm not ashamed to say it dammit!, because I suspect that I'm just the FIRST to say it and not the first to FEEL it). I mean, "Murdock's Face" practically brought tears to my eyes (why did I have to throw the word practically in there -- have the courage of your convictions, Kent, just like the A-Team did before you). I still remember his face, a face, what a face... Regarding track 5 I found myself speculating about the import of the exclamation point so pointedly rounding off the title: "Bandits!" But once I listened to it all speculation was pointless -- this song rocks!!(that 2nd exclamation point was no typo) I am so psyched to accept a mission ASAP --just give me the prep papers and it's "Showtime"(as in, track 9!) right here in reality -- 24-7!! I think I'll go see if I can get some A-Team DVDs, because while most of the songs I can like totally match with their episodes and scenes, there are a few I can't quite place, like "Let's Get Busted" and "B.A.'s Ride", although there can me no question about "A team in new York City" (track 4) or "Murdock's Face -- those are etched deep in my brain as indelibly as if I was an intel chip, or like a tatoo on your brain -- you get the idea! However, some songs could maybe go with various episodes, like "The A-Team escapes" and "Helicopters" (there were a lot of those); maybe some were used more than once, I wonder, I'm gonna have to visit some of the a-team fansites to look into that. Well, that's enough (for now), but needless to say -- buy this album!! (buy a couple cause you'll probably wear the CD out -- it's possible, I did it with my "Magnum PI" CD!) Hey -- anybody in the mood for some more "Bandits"? (I am) -- No problem, just pump up the volume on "More Bandits"!!(track 14) --KG
ps -- Email me if you wanna form like the B-Team.(it could be cool -- way cool!)"

For all of you A-Team lovers
