5.0 out of 5 stars Pensive and Emotionally Satisfying, February 4, 2005

This review is from: The Door in the Floor (Score) (Audio CD)

Being a film score enthusiast, I eagerly await the release of any movie soundtrack CD that is dedicated exclusively (or at least primarily) to the instrumental score featured in that particular film. Frequently, I will purchase score CDs without having ever even seen the film. In such cases, I generally consider the following: the subject matter of the film, and the particular composer (Although, when it comes to John Williams and Danny Elfman, I will buy anything that they produce without hesitation). But when I heard about the release of the score to "The Door In The Floor", I was unfamiliar with both the film and the composer. And when I looked up the CD on Amazon, there were no reviews posted. So even though I generally jump at any new scores, I was somewhat hesitant to pick this one up, even though it was being offered at a very reasonable price. Then I saw the movie. The film itself, as I understand it, was generally considered to be rather difficult to swallow. Personally, I found it to be very thought provoking, reflective, and strangely humorous at times. And I was also quite taken with the beautiful score, a score that I had been unwilling to take a chance on before. So I went back to Amazon and bought the CD immediately. After listening to the score, this time separated from the images of the film for which it was composed, I found the music to be very thought provoking, reflective, and strangely humorous at times. Just like the film. Hmmm... The mark of a successful film score, I'd say. Even if you haven't seen the movie, or have no intentions of seeing it, I highly reccommend this score-only soundtrack CD to those curious film music enthusiasts like myself, or indeed anyone looking for a fulfilling listening experience. If your life is especially hectic, this CD will give you 45 minutes of guaranteed peace and pleasure.

I saw the movie and LOVED it, but I also noticed the music, which I don't always pick up on. And since I saw the movie, I can't stop listening to this. It is the kind of music and movie that you wishyou could revisit the mood it puts you in all the time. And now I can. Now I just listen to this and I drop watever mood I have and instantly become introspective and daydreamy. If you close your eyes, you could be on the beach, staring off into the clouds. It's very sad and very pensive and very good.

I've probably listened to this score more times than any I own. Beautiful, melancholy, whimsical in moments... If you appreciate a great score and aren't taken on an emotional journey by this one, you may find that you have no soul at all. And so, my cheesy emoticon cries for you :_(
