"I've not even seen "The Thirteenth Floor," but listening to this album over and over again as I've been doing, I really want to. Within the shiny little spinning disc is an incredible range of music. Often, film scores end up as collections of variations. Not so here. The breadth and depth of Mr. Kloser's offering is incredible. A worthwhile mix of orchestral, period, moody, techno, dramatic, symphonic. And Mr. Kloser works his orchestra. By far the primo piece is "Downtown LA, 1937." The entire album is like a great meal at a cherished restaurant."

"It seems like that Roland Emmerich has gave you another fresh composer to the US. His name is Harold Kloser. Even though Kloser is no James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith. He is a very good composer. This soundtrack has no one theme to it instead it reminds me of the movie Antz because it uses many different themes. The CD starts of with Downtown LA,1937 which is a wounderous piece of music then goes to Janes Theme which opens the film. It is a soft jazz piece which is very well done. The suspense music like Locker Chase is very well done and never over bearing. But the Wilshire grand Suite seems a little out of place in the cd but none the less is very fun music. I am ver excited to see what harold Kloser does next. Also this had great sound quality."

Very Good!

"I expect more copies of this CD would sell if samples of the Grand Wilshire Swing Suite were made available. The best song on the CD is 'Easy Come, Easy Go'."
