The following four tracks come from two scores you may be unfamiliar with. The selections of The Bodyguard by Alan Silvestri will be a welcome treat for fans of the composer unable to acquire the original score on the secondary bootleg market. The love theme is decent, though the more tense "On the Job" was probably unnecessary for the compilation. The two cues from Jack Nitzsche's Revenge are original recordings (owned by Silva) and are both surprisingly enjoyable. "Jeep Ride" is an odd variation on the electronic border style of Goldsmith's Extreme Prejudice, while "Miryea's Death" has a soothingly melodic keyboarded theme. The "Prelude" to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a tired piece. Its exuberant construct keeps it somewhat fresh, but with every marching band around the world performing the Kamen piece at some point or another, even the Prague performers have a difficult time elevating it beyond others. The four minutes from James Horner's Field of Dreams represent some of the best, most upbeat minutes of music from the score, and its performance here is remarkably similar to the original. The two tracks from John Williams' JFK are rather weak, especially in the brass solos. The stress and paranoia built in the strings of "Arlington" are well portrayed, though the prologue track from JFK would have been a more satisfying choice to appear here. The finale track to James Newton Howard's Waterworld is a necessary inclusion for any Kostner retrospect; the contributions of the Crouch End Festival Chorus make it a highlight of the album. For collectors who haven not been able to track down the promotional album for William Ross' promo for Tin Cup should note that the four-minute finale cue here is a good sampling of his score for the film. A fitting end to any album, of course, is Silverado. Most of these tracks were available on a "Music from the Films of Kevin Costner" compilation from Silva in 1995, rendering that album largely useless. Overall, this compilation is almost as enjoyable as the Connery one (albeit shorter), and is a full step above the Mel Gibson one. The tracks from Revenge, Waterworld, and Silverado will especially attract your attention.  ****   @Amazon.com: CD or Download
