 "Let the Games Begin ... Halloween ... Chip Davis & Mannheim Steamroller (2003)", 2007-10-26
My offspring's love Christmas and Halloween ~ so Chip Davis had to satisfy my entire family with this latest release "Halloween", featuring the deranged arrangements by Chip and performed by the world famous Mannheim Steamroller gang --- If you're a fan this is a must have with various composers on hand J.S. Bach, Dukas, Gounod, Greig, Mussorgsky, Wagner and even Marius Constant who composed the theme song for the "Twilight Zone" --- plus a few ditties from Chip with his trademark style we've come to recognize with open arms.
Chip has his pulse on the macabre and the unusual with some surprises thrown in --- Feel the original composers would welcome the interpretations on various sonatas, fugues and counter melodies that take the listener into another realm of musical fantasy --- Composer Henry Mancini always made a point to give other musicians credit and appreciation for their approach to his classic standards of film music --- same goes for Berlin, Carmichael, Ellington, Gershwin, Kern and Porter as different genres of Rock, R&B, Jazz, Country, Bluegrass, Folk, Easy Listening and --- yes even Classical tells their side of the story --- So what is all the hullabaloo about? --- This is what makes entertainment entertaining and Chip knows just what button to push.
With disc one we have "RITE OF TWILIGHT", featuring a multitalented arrangement that blends hints of Rod Serling standing by to give you an intro to the episode you're about to watch --- Davis performance engulfs an eerie and not of this world signature --- nice touch of "CRYSTAL", from the graveyard of Fresh Aire IV and fills the ghoulish bill --- Entire cues on this disc spells Chip had a ball with this material.
Second disc with all the spooky, terror and horror sounds signal heart palpitations --- As one reviewer remarked ~ EFX CD placed into your player and hit shuffle --- To that my reaction is let the games begin, as chills begin to surface.
Hats off to American Gramaphone, Mannheim Steamroller and Chip Davis for digging into your bag of tricks and coming up with this delectable treat --- gotta say Boo and you'll love it!
Total: 2-CD-Set ~ Amer Gramaphone 1031 ~ (9/23/2003)

A brilliant, original album for kids, 2007-10-11
I bought this album for my kids last year and they liked it so much they only stopped playing it a few months ago! As well as imaginative interpretations of Halloween classics like 'Monster Mash' and 'Ghostbusters' sung by witches and ghouls, the album also features two fantastic original compositions called 'Spooky Boogie' and 'Hello Halloween', which my kids absolutely love. To top it all off there's a scary story and 20 minutes of spooky sound effects, which are great as background atmosphere for party games. Brilliant value!

 Halloween Sound Effects, 2004-01-03
This type of cd is quite a specialist thing, there are not many people out there who want a disk full of sound effects unless they have specific use for them, i myself am a practising all be it amatueur musician (hopefully proffesional one day) so for me a very valuable tool. Most of the samples are good, although the alien type samples seem a little miss-placed for a collection of horror sound effects and really should'nt be in there at all. These sound effects for me will only come to life once woven into my very heavy metal music which will give the music a new level of horror and ambience

The music on this CD was composed to relax the mind and body in order to promote a deeper more restful sleep. Sleep plays a vital part in our overall health. The nervous and immune systems revitalise during sleep and the body generates and rebuilds its tissues. A good deep sleep will help to de-stress the mind and body and prepare us for the following day. This music is also suitable for meditation and deep relaxation practice.

If you want to scare the pants off your 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds, but then make them merrily sing along, this Halloween collection could be for you. A generous 18 tracks deep, Spooky Favorites covers the familiar creepy-crawly terrain of "Cockles and Mussels," "Spider on the Floor," and "There Was an Old Woman" with all the right affects. Favorites also trades in Christmas tunes, reworking "The 12 Days of Christmas" as "12 Days of Halloween," while "Green Gremlins" reprises the "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" theme in a halting tempo with a tasty rock guitar solo. And in another ironic twist, the players turn "Bring Back My Bonney" into "Bring Back My Neighbo...
This is an absolute must for kids of all ages, 2000-12-01
I discovered this CD whilst on holiday in Florida. The cover identifies it as a CD suitable for young children as well old. My three year old daugther has insisted on listening to it for the past year and never grows tired of it, she knows most of the words and especially likes 'Jack-O-Lantern' when he blows the candle out at the end of the song and my ultimate favourite song is 'The thing'. Most of the songs are original and lively. Our copy is now badly scratched from so much use I have had to order another copy. Should you decide to purchase this CD I hope you like it as much as we do.

Great CD, Played to death during the witchin' season. Hell, you can play it anytime, Mummy loves it and Pop says its something he can really get his teeth into!
Worth the cash for me just for Bobby Boris Pickets Mash-tastic monster track, so I don't wear out my Vinyl copy!
Whatever happened to the Transalvanian Twist?
