Editorial Reviews: Xena: Warrior Princess Volume Six is a well-filled pair of discs showcasing just some of the extraordinarily prolific output Xena composer Joseph LoDuca has written for the popular adventure show. Rob Tapert and Lucy Lawless note that LoDuca has written 134 hours of music for Xena and the album reflects the postmodern nature of the show, ranging from serious action, suspense and dramatic writing to pure-camp silliness, from full orchestral scoring to electronic atmospherics and ethnic/world/folk music pastiches. Opening with a stirring 20-minute suite from "Fallen Angel", the Season Five opener, the episode "Ides of March" is featured strongly, while 25 minutes from "Friends in Need" find LoDuca creating simple but effective sampled Japanese soundscapes. There are eight cues from "The Ring Trilogy", including the music from probably the most famous kiss in fantasy television since Kirk and Uhura. The second CD has eight tracks grouped as "Bonus Cues", but the absence of any explanatory notes for these and the selection of 14 "Special Requests", including the Python/"Lumberjack Song", is frustrating. Even the most die-hard fans might have trouble working out just where every last one of these often comic pieces come from, but otherwise this very diverse release should satisfy Xena devotes and modern film music fans alike. --Gary S Dalkin

Summary: Beautiful
Comment: I am totally in agreeance with the other positive reviews. I am a Xena fan and I love all sorts of music. This CD has a range... and just throws classic Xena moments into my memory. However, I didn't buy mine on Amazon ...and paid a lot more for it. Stoopid me!

This CD is two disc, with some hilarious tunes by special request including the infamous 'Joxer the mighty'. If you at all like music, this is great. I also find it good to put on a few songs in the background when revising... keeps me occupied!

Summary: Fantastic Music from a fantastic show!
Comment: Joseph LoDuca's music is a big part of the success of the show XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS. Always evocative and atmospheric, this double CD contains his Emmy Award winning music from 'Fallen Angel', as well as the fabulous music from The Ring Trilogy, 'Ides of March' and the series finale, 'A Friend in Need'.

There are also lots of other tracks, including some of the sexy dance music heard in Season 6, and requests that fans made. The main ommissions are tracks that Joe didn't write, and so doesn't have the rights for - M'lila's song from 'Destiny', and the Bacchae Rap from 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'. A must have for all Xena fans, and some excellent music even if you are not an ardent admirer of the Warrior Princess!

Summary: An essential purchase for all Xena fans
Comment: This is the sixth (and most probably final) Xena soundtrack to be released. This show has alway's utilized an exellent soundtrack to complement the story on-screen. Joseph LoDuca's inspiring score has never failed to be anything but fabulous (owners of the previous soundtracks will certainly agree with this). The fact that this is a double c.d, rounding off the music from seasons five and six will make this an essential purchase for all Xena fan's who appreciate just how special this soundtrack really is. And if you haven't purchased volumes 1 - 5 yet then be sure to do so soon...
