Regimental Marches of the British Army Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Military Music
by: The Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards

Release Date October 01, 1999
A tremendous collection of each British Army Regiment's own 'signature' tune.

From well known marches like 'The Radetsky' to lesser known tunes like 'The days we went a gipsying', they are all beautifully played by the Band of the Coldstream Guards in quicktime pace, ( 116 beats per minute ).

Together with Vol. 2, these great recordings will turn your living room into Horse Guards Parade !

The Best Military Bands Album In The World... Ever!

CD-Charts > Music > Military Music
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 02, 2005
I would guess that most people these days, upon seeing this album in the listings, would opine that the marketing department at EMI must be scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with this for their "Best...In The World...Ever" series. Fans of band music will shun it for its pick-and-mix composition, and everyone else will not give it a second thought.

Unfashionable it may be, but there is nothing quite like the raw power and stirring sound of a military band playing live, unadulterated by electronics and amplification, and, while it is almost impossible to transfer this energy satisfactorily to record, to simply ignore it is to miss out on some blistering tunes and harmonies, and great music overall, and I would argue that ...

100 Military Band Favourites

CD-Charts > Music > Military Music
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2008
There are many BOX SET with 2, 3, 4 or 5 CD and usually, it is always the same bands and the same tunes. So, the biggest difference between all these BOX SETS is the number of CD and tunes and the price of the BOX SET. At 6 pounds or 12$ for 5 CD, it is a very inexpensive BOX SET for a so wide variety of tunes. Mainly British military tunes, tunes from the war movies and some classic tunes, it is a best buy, The quality of recording is good and the tunes are easy to listen. There are many different bands and the tunes are well played. If you know nothing about military tunes, you must buy this BOX SET. If you do not know all the tunes, it is a good way to hear them.

The Flower of Scotland

CD-Charts > Music > Military Music
by: Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

Release Date October 23, 1995
I find this disappointing.
You'll probably like it if you like military bands in general, but it's not really pipe band music. It's pipes mixed in with other stuff.
And I have to say that the principal piper seems to lack a feel for the timing of the music.

Highland Cathedral

CD-Charts > Music > Military Music
by: Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

Release Date October 25, 1999
What can I say, I love this cd, some good tunes and some good mix with the bagpipes and drums.

Especially liked the theme tune version to Soldier Soldier, Braveheart and Last Of The Mohicans...

The Very Best of the Royal Marines Band

CD-Charts > Music > Military Music
by: Royal Marines

Release Date June 18, 1990
A very mixed CD, both in terms of material and quality. CD is dated 1990, but I suspect several of the recordings are rather older. The quality of recordings on some tracks is not very good at all, and there are better recordings of most of the music on other RM CDs.

Band of Hm Royal Marines

CD-Charts > Music > Military Music
by: Royal Marines

Release Date May 22, 2006
Recording of two ceremonial programs (Beating Retreat and Tattoo). The music is played with precision and panache, but the recording dates from 1991, so the quality is not as high as more recent recordings. One for the true fan of military ceremonial.
