I don't feel that this volume is quite as effective as Vol. 1, but it is a must have either way. I strongly suggest buying both to complete the collection, as you will find that every Stalling composition stands out and it NEVER gets old. The following is the review I posted for Volume 1:
I cannot pass up the opportunity to express my love for this music. If you are familiar with the cartoons, then the music is in your bones. The images fly by in your imagination, and you may even recognize the specific scenes that were married to the pieces; but the goal of this compilation is not to make you think of the visuals - it is to illustrate the point of just how strong the music is on it's own merit, and how important this music is in American culture. When separated from the cartoons, it is now all too clear how diverse and talented the composer, Carl Stalling really is. He holds his own in the world of American modern classical composers, and this may just be the one of the first times in history we have heard such a range of genres pulled off with such ease and grace. In the liner notes, we find out that the Warner Brother studio used for these cartoons was just one big room, and the music was created side-by-side with voice actors and artists. The energy is there all the way, and the music is eventful, to say the least. Beyond the ability to effectively hit you with character-action assossiation, the music will likely be found referred to by many generations down the road as some of the most inspirational and complex compositions to come from the U.S. at that time in history. This record should sit in the collection of any music or art historian, amateur or professional, as well as those who just enjoy a good laugh or thrilling ride. Do not pass this up.

Are the names Mel Blanc, I. Freleng or Chuck Jones familiar to you? Then you will get a charge out of these albums as they remind you of Warner Brothers cartoons you saw. I even used these albums instead of "spooky music" for the trick-or-treaters at Halloween, and got appreciative comments from the parents who recognized the music. Definitely worth the price of admission.
As well as Stalling Project Part I, These recordings are more modern fidelity, less classic and more musical techniques. The improvisations appreciate me more than Part I. I like all tracks especially one from "Zoom and Bored" Salute Maestro!!!! jlipipun
More music from Warner Brother Cartoons 1936 to 1958. Carl Stalling was one of the foremost composers of music for cartoons and wrote virtually all of the scores for Warner Brothers cartoons from 1936 to 1958. This is a compilation of some complete soundtracks and other snippets. In my opinion, this disk is not quite as well done as "The Carl Stalling Project Volume I."
I really did like the slice-and-dice format of the first disc : I think it helped keep that cartoon zaniness without the visuals. I would recommend both volumes - I listen to them alot while I'm programming!
"Now, every time I watch cartoons, I listen to the music!"
Carl Stalling. We all know who he is, but we don't know that we know. Who is he? The guy who did cartoon background music for Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies for more than 20 years, that's who. Maybe you're thinking, "Oh, come on! Cartoon background music??! How good could something so trivial be?!" The answer to that question is.. VERY. Very entertaining. I just love Carl Stalling's great "scores". When you take away the context of it's being CARTOON music and just sit and listen to the damn thing, it's WONDERFUL music in and of itself! He goes from violins and a piano playing "agitato" simultaneously to a single oboe note and back again in five seconds. Not only that. He does that and, as random as it may sound, he mannages to segue it together beautifully. Now, every time I watch cartoons, the thing I pay most attention to is what aural miracles Mr. Stalling sneaked in. Maybe, after listening to this, you will too. If anything will change after you listen to this, it would be that you'll never think of cartoon music as trivial again........That's a GOOD thing.
