Music : Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves
Rating: 
- One of Kamen's better releases
This CD is certainly a popular one, thanks in no small part to Bryan Adams' hit song. Kamen's CD releases are notoriously lazy and bare but when I listened to the first few tracks, I was pleasantly surprised. The first quarter of the movie is presented quite satisfactorily (tracks 1-3) and is the best section of the CD. His theme tune for Robin of Locksley is an exciting piece, updating the Prince of Thieves for a new generation of cinema goers and his fondness for Mario Nascimbene's 'The Vikings' shows in Robin's fanfare. This segues directly into the escape from the Crusades then a beautiful piece as Robin returns home, a melancholic theme for Marion and finally an adventurous frolicking in Sherwood, complete with traditional 'twangs'. However, from here on, as expected, the CD drops into an editing mess. Bits and pieces of the rest of the score are chopped into a handful of tracks with most of the score omitted, giving you a taste, rather than an experience and it ends with the inclusion of a mis-judged song 'Wild Times'. Overall, it's a good CD but since this is possibly Kamen's best scoring effort, it could have been so much better. I eagerly await an expanded release.

- All the beauty of the film
What can I say? I saw the film for the first time about six years ago and it has always been a firm favourite of mine - getting this brought back all the memories of the first time I ever saw it. Highlights are 'Maid Marian' 'Overture and a Prisoner of the Crusades' and who could ever forget 'Everything I do (I do it for you)'? As you listen you can picture the action in your mind - from the beginning when we find Robin in the prison during the crusades to his reunion with Duncan to the birth of John little's baby to the wedding of Robin and Marian. Truly this a worthwhile soundtrack befitting any collection and not to be missed!
Rating: - Haunting melodies
This CD contains haunting melodies from the hit movie. It transports you back to Sherwood forest and contains the Brian Adam's song of songs - "Everything I do, I do it for you." Happy memories of a good movie.
