Nice remakes in classical style - I bought this for the U2 track, and it s wonderful. Great buildup and grand sound. Mancini s work makes these songs sound like classical version, not muzak. A good converse would be Royal Philharmonic Orchestra doing U2 -- totally flat, combining eletrical with classical instruments, pure muzak. Mancini on the otherhand put a lot of work on this one and maybe has a full orchestra to give it a full sound. The other 80s songs on here are done quite well. If you re a big fan of any one of the other songs it would be worth buying to hear Mancini s interpretations. The linear notes included in the CD are incorrect in places. Also, there s only 12 tracks. Imagine (11) is the last full song, the rest of the songs listed here is combined as a medley in track 12. Don t assume you re getting the full versions of the rest of the songs.
