5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, April 17, 2001

They stopped making this CD for a while, so I had to go directly to the label that made it to get a copy. After hearing it in the movie I simply had to have it. It cost me thirty bucks and was a pain to get but never has a CD been more worth it than this one. It is haunting and simple and beautiful. It made a great movie even greater and proves that while the movie needed the score, the score does not need the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple, compassionate CD, June 6, 2000

By

This review is from: And The Band Played On: Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The two main themes resonate through the score many different times, and the 'thinking' score (French Succeed) and heartbreaking (How long to sink in?) a couple times. The longest and most beautiful track, combining all the beautiful elements is Tongues. There's over 40 minutes of breathtaking music that paints a deep contemplative picture of the world you cannot get anywhere else, combining awe and beauty with tragedy and humility. I have to be in a quiet mood for this, but it does not depress me. It makes me happy and gives me a buffer for the world, not so-rose coloured glasses to See through.
