Search - Marty Simon, Original Soundtrack :: Tales From A Parallel Universe: Music From The Original Sci-Fi Movie Series

Marty Simon's work on Lexx is Fantastic!

"This CD was part two of my two step doorway into loving Lexx (perhaps see my Lexx review). Part one was Sci-Fi Channel's playing of the Four Lexx Movies (Sci-Fi's terrible marketing of Lexx almost stopped me from giving it the chance it deserves). The music on this CD, created by Marty Simon, is the fantastic score from those movies. Everyone's favorite "Yo-A-O (Fight Song Of The Brunnen-G)" is probably the Lexx-addict centerpiece of the CD; it is a brilliant vocal piece that has all the sense of the artist/poet warrior pride that the Brunnen-G culture was famed for, plus a tense and dramatic optimism for victory all wrapped into a less-than 60 second piece. This is brilliant composition and execution. The other tracks of note are the grand sounding theme ("Welcome To The Dark Zone"), "Gigashadow March," "Fantasy Dance" (which lives up to its name in a cute and positive but not at all Disney way), the dance-like thematic "Moth Ride" and even "Milk Fed Boys," which you have to see "Tales From a Parallel Universe 2.0" (second movie) to fully appreciate. If you like Lexx (even if only for just the four movies), pick up this CD; you will certainly appreciate it. It's one of my personal favorites. I hope to see more of Marty Simon's Lexx soundtrack released in the future. I am off to find out what else he created..."

Great scifi soundtrack of an underrated show

"Lexx is either adored or hated. This soundtrack is universally adored. I have known people who have never seen Lexx break into Ya-a-o fight song. My best friend who cannot stand Lexx chooses this CD as his prefered gaming music. Sample junkies take note taht many good sounds and vocal clips are on this as well. So even if you are not a fan of the show but really like well composed and intresteing soundtracks, you must get this NOW!"

Tales/Lexx CD Other Worldly

"The CD from Tales From A Parallel Universe or to it's fans better known as The Lexx Movies, is able to transend it's other worldly music to even the hardest sceptic of Lexx. The rythum and melodies of the songs bring pictures to one's mind of it's imaginative subject matter. And no one can resist the upbeat Fight Song of the Brunnen-G. Skeptics open your mind and take a ride on the Lexx to a new universe of music. Enjoy!"
