Title: Nice to have it all, but the best tracks were already released
Review: I think the other reviewers have said it best: it's great to have the entire score from Episode I, but the best tracks had already been released on the earlier disc. There are a few gems here, such as the Tatooine street singer and Jedi escape from the Trade Federation ship, but because this is the music as heard in the film, you sometimes don't get to hear a particular song or theme all the way through. For example, Duel of Fates, one of the best Star Wars tracks ever, is split just as the fight scene was in the movie, so you never hear the full version on this disc. I'd recommend getting both this Ultimate version and the previous release so you can hear the music both ways. Also, I've listened through both CDs twice and have had no problems with the sound (other reviewers have alleged static). I just wish Lucas would release an Ultimate edition of the soundtrack to Episodes II and III, which had even better music!
Is the review positive or negative?
