Customer Reviews:

Great CD.......2005-02-23

First off, I love the Dark Tower series. I am not normally a big fan of new age music, although I love video game music so I guess it goes. Anyway, this is a very mellow, but beautiful collection. 'Ka Like A Wind' is my personal favorite, and 'Crossing Over', which opens the CD, is also wonderful. All tracks have a unique feel to them.
I recommend this CD to anyone who likes the DT series. While not an official soundtrack, each track captures the essence of the subject in its title (in my imagination at least!)

Wonderfully Unfortunate.......2004-08-06

This album is held to a higher scrutiny than perhaps it deserves, simply because the artist has set the terms for it being the "soundtrack" to the Dark Tower series. Because of that the music is partially judged on how well it fits the story; I am guilty of this along with some of the other reviewers.
On its own, the songs are great--from relaxing to inspirational to ominous--comparable to anything on the Final Fantasy game soundtracks by Nobuo Uematsu. Having said that, the electronic style of "Territories" does not fit the "feel" of the DT stories, which were much more raw and earthy. If the same songs were simply played by a live band, it might be more appropriate for Stephen King's works.
This is a great album if you are, like I, a roleplayer in need of background music for a fantasy/medeival game. It's just not the soundtrack that it says it is.

Wonderful stuff and I normally don't like New Age music.......2004-06-13

I am a HUGE HUGE Dark Tower Junkie, have been since Drawing of the Three came out and this is a wonderful acompanyment to the saga. I was NOT in the slightest bit dissapointed with it. I only hope he does a follow up with the last three in the series! Dennis Downing if you ever read this, please consider doing that. Great job! :-)

too new agey - hard to listen to twice........2004-05-29

I was hoping for a cross between the Good Bad and the Ugly Sountrack and something mystical. This is neither but rather a strange blend of insipid and disconnected.

The books deserve something much better!

nope.......2003-10-27

If you want a soundtrack to go along with the Dark Tower series, listen to the song that was on Requiem for a Dream and The Two Towers. That's the kind of song that the DT series deserves. This music belongs with The Legend of Zelda more than the DT series. I give it three stars because it's okay music, just not DT music.
