Metasonica has an interesting interpretation on these

"This CD is interesting. Metasonica takes impressive fantasy film score themes by such composers as John Williams, Danny Elfman, Basil Poledouris, Howard Shore and Vangelis, and performs them on synthesizer with a synth-drum and bass backing. The result is surprisingly impressive. I'd recommend this to someone who is a fan of rock n roll as well as film music. I am huge fan of both, and it is interesting to hear these classic film scores with a beat behind the melody. Some tracks are more impressive than others, but all an all an enjoyable CD."

"This album is lush with Metasonica's stunningly beautiful versions of fantasy film scores. My absolute favorite is the theme from Jurassic Park; their dramatic interpretation of John Williams' gorgeous orchestral composition is breathtaking. Also amazing is the energetically complex Neverending Story and the spiritually transporting Lord of the Rings. The musicianship and production values here are exceptional; especially fine are the contributions of the gifted flute and violin players. Metasonica has a wonderfully artistic feel for subtlety, enrapturing rhythm and climactic build. The CD also contains three fantastic bonus dance tracks, which convey Metasonica's innovative sound and ever-evolving style; they respectfully nod to their classical influences while enthusiastically embracing diverse 21st century musical inspirations. I hope the success of this album promises much more to come from the brilliant partnership of producers Boris Berlin and Zenon Marko."
