From the Flashdance-like opener, "Pokémon Theme", to the closer, "You Can Do It (If You Really Try)", 2.B.A. Master is high-energy fare. This CD sports an over-the-top flavour drawn from video-game-styled electronic blips, disco danceability and the hollow tripped-out beats of theme park musicals, all of which makes this super hot stuff for the Pokémon generation. The 13 tunes here are ...

Although not exactly an experiment, this first Babylon 5 TV movie would pave the way for the three that followed (Thirdspace, The River of Souls, and A Call To Arms).

The "Main Theme" is an adventurous piece with a slightly ...

As the series drew to an end, this TV movie was slotted in to afford air time to an alien race not seen since the very beginning. The Soul Hunters could have been creator Straczynski's best method of detailing the overall story of the destiny of the human soul. Relegated to just this stand- alone they were rather wasted, but Christopher Franke clearly knew not to waste his opportunity. This ...
