4.0 out of 5 stars A leap from 'Interview With the Vampire.', February 24, 2000

Goldenthal's most interesting score to date. An eclectic mix of creepy industrial and synth soundscapes, appropriate songs, and his usual frenetic stomping and highly excitable dramatics. Happily, this is more experimental than his other offerings, and very moody with its combination of squealing guitars (Scytheoplicity)positioned next to synth loops (Wraith loops) and industrial noise (While we Sleep). At times this could be classified under alternative in your local music store. Then we get the regular Goldenthal - an orchestra going hell for leather, with a force-driven brass section, or his gentle but terrifying lone violins. Dream baby, the song at the end, music by Goldenthal, lyrics by Neil Jordan, is an odd, lilting hymn to end on but utterly beautiful. If you liked SPHERE then this goes one step further. A composer who becomes more interesting with every score, and this is possibly his finest.

I'm a big fan of Goldenthal and it's interesting to see what he does from film to film (his collaborations with Neil Jordan produce some of his best stuff). 'In Dreams' finds the composer experimenting with some different sounds, sometimes to great effect. His style is a little looser here, but still familiar (there's still the thunderous brass and tragic strings)even allowing for a little experimentation with guitars. There is a reoccuring theme throughout the music which some will approve of and some will consider mearly redundant. Track 1 is a winner is as "Rebecca's Abduction" and "While we sleep". While not a score that stands firmly apart from the image/film (I'm thinking his score for "TITUS"), it's one to own for anyone interested in one of the most poetic voices currently working in film music. (Also, if you get a chance to, check out the film!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie , even Greater soundtrack, February 23, 2000

I don't usually buy soundtracks . Come to think of it, I only bought "Pulp Fiction." But when I heard that ethereal music at the end when the woman is reunited with her daughter, I had to buy it. If you like that song, then you would definitely like the song "My weakeness" on Moby's latest "Play." Also, this album has those kind of tracks that bind well to each different scene. It's not corny, but very sophisticated.
