I have this CD and I play it all the time whilst painting figures.

The arrangements for modern military orchestra are not to my taste, the others are ok. I like the following CD much better:

BTW, in case you are interested in the 1754 French drum signals for the infantry (in use until 1831), here they are:

And if you are interested in 18th century Swedish military music: The following CD contains 5 signals for fife and drum as well as 8 pieces for wind band for the Södermanlands regementes musik. From a manuscript dated 1774:

The Brits. Slightly outdated from a musicological point of view but still quite interesting (available as digital music albums only):
