Review from allmusicguide
The definitive account of the music from the original television series,
Twilight Zone: The 40th Anniversary Collection offers four CDs of total
immersion into most of the best and most memorable scores written for the five
season run of the anthology series. Bernard Herrmann's music dominates the first
disc, beginning with both the broadcast (i.e., with Serling's narration) and
unedited versions of his dark, brooding main title music, and the 11 minute
score for the first episode, "Where Is Everybody". As this was an intriguing but
not fully realized program, the music is more inventive and memorable than the
program itself -- as with other Herrmann scores, this one shows signs of his
having "stolen" from himself, with several passages, between four minutes and 30
seconds and six minutes and 30 seconds, that could have come from his 1941 score
for The Devil And Daniel Webster. The balance of the 75-minute first disc is
filled up with Herrmann's "Outer Space Suite", an extended body of work written
and recorded as "stock" music for CBS by the composer in 1957, which was quoted
extensively in the run of this series. The opening prelude offers horn parts and
a rhythmic underscore reminiscent of the composer's music for The Day The Earth
Stood Still. Also included on this disc is Herrmann's proposed new title theme
for the series -- which sound even more in debt to his music for The Day The
Earth Stood Still -- which were rejected in favor of a piece by Marius Constant
that became the most familiar musical cue associated with the program. Also
featured is his music for the episodes "Walking Distance", "The Hitchhiker" and
"The Lonely", of which the first is one of the masterpieces of television
scoring, a gently nostalgic string-laden piece that was (and is) worthy of a
separate life in the concert hall. Disc Two opens with Constant's theme and then
gives itself over to Jerry Goldsmith's superb contributions to the show, in a
series of suites, written for the episodes "Back There," "The Big Tall Wish,"
"The Invaders," and "Dust," that are far more energetic than Herrmann's work, if
not as subtle -- still, Goldsmith could do more with a musical "sting" than
almost any other composer working, which is why so many key parts of these
scores were still being used on soundtracks in the 1980's; the most memorable is
easily "The Invaders" which, with its rippling piano figure and violently bowed
violins, plays like a not-to-distant cousin to Herrmann's music for Psycho. Disc
Three showcases the music of Nathan Van Cleave, in suites for "Perchance To
Dream," "Elegy," "Two," "I Sing The Body Electric," and "A World Of Difference"
-- these are less formalistic than either Herrmann's or Goldsmith's work, and
sound much more like conventional film music, eerie and at times moody to the
point of being almost frightening. Disc Four's highlights, in addition to
another alternate theme (by Constant), include Fred Steiner's sweetly sad
scoring for "100 Yards Over The Rim," which could be one of the best realized
western-flavored television scores of the period, until it switches gears into a
darkly ominous mode that one truly would not want to listen to -- fully exposed
as music -- with the lights out; and Steiner's equally impressive (yet more
somber) music for "The Passersby"; and Leonard Rosenman's score for "And When
The Sky Was Opened," which, with its dissonant horn calls, anticipated elements
of his music for Beneath The Planet Of The Apes seven years later. Franz Waxman
completists will also want to check out the legendary Hollywood composer's score
for "Sixteen Millimeter Shrine," which doesn't sound like anything else ever
written for the show -- capturing Waxman at his most sentimental and romantic
with its thick orchestral textures and mix of rich melodies and 1920's period
scoring, it's closer to a classic film score than anything ever written for the
series, or much else from television. The annotation is reasonably thorough as
well, and the mastering is excellent, with no signs of serious distortion
anywhere and a good, healthy volume level throughout, but it's the music that
makes this release a must-own set, and a bargain at $44 list.

The rip has been done using EAC to extract .wav files, and dBPowerAmp to convert
them into Level-8 FLAC files. Log files are enclosed.
The CDs are presented as ONE SINGLE LONG AUDIO FILE for each CD. There's also a
.cue file which marks the track points. If you need to extract a single song
from this, you must download the whole album, and use a tool like Medieval Cue
Splitter for Windows, or X Lossless Decoder (XLD) for Mac Users. Under Linux the
ripping software "abcde" (A better CD encoder) can split CUE/FLAC files.
Also, you can use Burrrn (on Windows) to burn it directly to a CD, where the
tracks will be seperated.
Attention: Single .cue/FLAC files. That's simply my personal choice for
releasing it, don't argue about it, thanks. IF you don't like it, you've been
clearly told, so look somewehere else and don't come crying. It's free, ok? Take
it as it comes.
