Query: Return to the Star Wars Universe, with a twist

Ever wished you could enter and explore the world of the Star Wars characters all over again? With the Shadows of the Empire soundtrack, you can get just a tad bit closer before the prequels are released...Joel McNeely offers up a mixed bag of musical treatments on events and characters taken from the novel, and the results are interesting...McNeely's musical style clearly differs from John Williams, though it's obvious that parts of Williams work served as inspiration. Play the CD after listening to the Special Edition Soundtracks and there is an obvious change in composition and style...but it still works. While this is definitely orchestral music and suites, <obviously NOT from a movie>, in some sections I would have to say McNeely does rival some of Williams original music...particularly the powerful "Night Skys", based on Williams work.A must have to the Star Wars aficianados collection...
