The Star Wars cycle, George Lucas's stellar pop parable cum merchandising blitzkrieg, has long since made history as an unparalleled cinematic-cultural-marketing phenomena; somewhere Billy Jack should be in one envious, ass-kickin' mood. Phantom Menace, easily the most eagerly anticipated film of the '90s, returns to the saga's roots and allows Lucas to flesh out the history of some of the fable's core characters and conjure up a dazzling new cast of cohorts, antagonists, and alien realms for them to interact with and in. Thus, all composer John Williams had to do was essentially reinvent the world's most popular wheel. The film-scoring legend has admirably risen to that daunting challenge, delivering an inventive score whose dynamics should surprise and delight even the most ardent SW fanatic. The Main Title and a few oh-so-sparing bars of a familiar Jedi theme are all that remains from the original trilogy's lexicon, Williams having evolved the saga's musical language, stylistic reach, and orchestral palette with masterful subtlety. The composer's most ambitious surprise is the welcome addition of strong choral elements, which he uses in ways both majestic ("Duel of the Fates") and menacing ("Passage Through the Planet's Core"). And though the film revolves around a young boy (Anakin Skywalker, who will grow to be both corrupted and redeemed as Darth Vader), the only flirtation with cloying sentimentality comes with the innocently loping "Jar Jar's Introduction." In the tradition of the Cantina and Max Rebo's Band of the previous trilogy, Williams and Lucas close out this musical installment with "Augie's Municipal Band," a Carnivale-esque romp that segues grandly into the composer's swelling title music. Williams may be the master of a grand scoring tradition, but Phantom Menace is gratifying evidence that he seldom plays it safe--even when the Force is with him. --Jerry McCulley

 Longer ago and further away.... June 2, 2009

Ten years ago, STAR WARS came back in the form of THE PHANTOM MENACE. And I was one of the first to go out and purchase the eagerly awaited soundtrack by John Williams.
Needless to say I was in awe! Even after I saw the movie and was subsequently disappointed, I was still enamored by this music. Although "Duel of the Fates" felt a little out of place in the Star Wars universe (don't get me wrong, it's an awesome piece of music), it eventually grew on me, especially after getting incorporated into the succeeding prequel scores, ATTACK OF THE CLONES and REVENGE OF THE SITH.
I still think the soundtrack would have been improved if John Williams had used more of the Tatooine themes from A NEW HOPE (perhaps excerpts from "Binary Sunset" or "Mos Eisley Spaceport").
But after ten years, it's much more Star Wars-ish to me now than it once was. It's still a fun musical adventure, full of excitement and wonder.
Par for the course for John Williams.

John Williams did a fantastic job with the music for this movie. Great music, one precaution to those who collect 'complete recordings' this is NOT a complete recording. (The complete recordings for this movie have a blue faced Darth Maul on the cover.)
Great cd for a great movie. January 1, 2009

This was my favorite star wars movie, so i had to get the sound track. the song i like the best: Duel of the fates. darth maul has the coolest fight music, next to Final Fantasy 7's Sephiroth's One-Winged Angel. i used this sound track in a lot of my music videoes. i recommend it, if for no other reason, it StarWars.

Yea, I did. I love that song and found this album for less than $1 so I went ahead and bought it. Most of the track are excellent including the last one. Worth the money!
