This is act III of the Omen Opera........2006-06-05

What everyone needs to do is forget any of the so-called operatic works of Verdi, Puccini, and all the others because this Opera of the Omen series is the best and only Opera fit for the Opera House.

This Opera contains three acts. The first act is about the birth of the Antichrist. The second is about the Antichrist grown up as a teenager. Now, we are on the final act of this Opera which is about the defeat of the Antichrist. This album of the third and final act is absolutely amazing. Songs like "Statue, "666," "Blooding Reel," "Second Coming" and "Final Conflict are great examples of diabollical pieces of music that gives ominous hints of what the musical future has for mankind. This music is fit for Opera Houses everywhere around the world. If you want the entire Opera of the Omen, then buy the box set. Enjoy it(...) if you dare.

Overlooked gem from Goldsmith.......2006-04-07

For my money, "The Omen" trilogy has the most fascinating progression of styles I have heard in soundtracks for a movie series. The first one bagged the Oscar and provided the gothic power of that energized that movie. The second one has a beating rawness combined with an electronic edge. But number three--"The Final Conflict" in my opinion tops not only the series, but is one of Goldsmith's best works.

This soundtrack continues to portray the ominous evil this series is about, but in a completely different style from the others. Unlike the choral and electronic driven entries before, Goldsmith really lets the whole orchestra loose here. In addition the movie allows him to balance the portrayal of the ultimate evil with the ultimate good...and the contrast makes for some great listening.

My favorite tracks: the "Main Title", and the absolutely outstanding "The Hunt". "The Second Coming" is riveting as well.

It's a shame the music was attached to a mediocre movie. It's not likely this soundtrack will get the attention of the Goldmith has received on "Star Trek" or even the first "Omen". Varese Sarabande has done a terrific job with this release however, and this remains an underrated score that deserves more attention.

Best Music by Academy Award Winner Jerry Goldsmith!.......2005-03-03

I think this one is the best Music Soundtrack ever by Academy Award Winner Jerry Goldsmith ever since he did Music to The Final Conflict. I mean the first Music Soundtrack is about The Birth of the AntiChrist, The Other one was when he grew up as a Teen. and The Third one is about the fall of the Antichrist. But If you want to listen to the Music to any of The Omen Trilogy listen to this one instead.

Slightly different than the first two!.......2004-12-12

Each of Goldsmith's soundtracks to the films in "The Omen" trilogy was uniquely constructed to reflect the on-screen horrors that it accompanied. The first was a masterpiece that turned religious scores upside down, deservedly winning Goldsmith his only Oscar.

The score to "Damien: Omen II" took the first to its next phase by assaulting the senses full throttle with the driving demonic chorus from the first but at an accelerated and more frenzied pace.

Finally, the third score hints at the past two but is more traditional in its approach, signifying the story line's defeat of the Anti-Christ.

This deluxe version, like the ones for the preceding films, offers cuts not found on the original LP release.

And, in light of this year's death of the great Goldsmith, it is fitting testament to his place as one of the cinema's most prolific and gifted composers.

One of the great film scores.......2003-09-07

Simply put, a towering achievement.

What is it about film composers of Jerry Goldsmith's stature that their music so often transcends the material it was written for? I guess that's why the word "genius" was invented.

The sound is a vast improvement over the original release, as is the inclusion of new material.
