Not authentic!

"Be warned that all the music featured on this composition is performed by The Festival Studio Orchestra and is not authentic and does not hold to true to much of the original music. I see most of this music a desecration to the original works. Throughout many of the theme songs "science fiction" style sounds, the kind and quality you would expect from an extremely cheesy early 80's 2d science fiction video game, are added in and most music generally much different from the original. However, I am biased because I assumed that the music contained within this collection would be the original work (or at least close enough to it to be insignificant). I think this would be a general assumption that almost anyone would make as there is no reason to think otherwise since the cd cover clearly states, "Music from the movies and t.v.". They should have said something more like, "Music inspired by the music from movies and tv". Be warned if you are looking for a good collection of original music. However, if you are a fan of the The Festival Studio Orchestra then you may enjoy this?"
Just Terrible

"Perhaps they should call themselves The Festival Studio "Orchestra" since I can only make out a synthesizer as the primary instrument. Save your hard-earned money for something more authentic and performed by an actual orchestra."
