This soundtrack truly captures the emotions of the movie. As you listen to each song, close your eyes and watch the scenes from the movie dramatically replay in your mind. Most likely you will have to search for this album, but no doubt all of you fans of Cassiel and Damiel will be glad you did.

I loved the motion picture, as the album... I loved the one before too... Desire Wings... They are so special that i bought both VHS movies, and now I'm trying to buy the soundtracks... but I can't find them (specially these one) in any store... nor in Brazil, neather in the Net !!!

I think that, like the movie, the album is great, 'cos is a sad and wonderful album where great artist play.

Its a nostalgic album for nostalgic people, during the film a very important part is that melancholy music that follow us during all the movie, and that's where the soundtrack plays a important part.

I've loved the movie and the music it has. I'm fan of U2 so it'd have been imposible not to love it. But the reason why I want the CD is because of Cassiel's song and i can't find it anywhere. Neither in the net nor in Argentina.

Usually, I avoid soundtrack cds, but this one was on sale and it had some great names on it. Half of the songs are ok, but putting them together on a disc doesn't make a good album. You can hear the various styles of the participating artists colliding. U2, Nick Cave, Herbert Gronemeyer, Anderson? What do these artists have in common apart from their admiration for Wim Wenders. Like the movie, the album is an artistic overkill. It's just too much. The instrumental parts at the end are a complete waste. They can't surive without the images in the movie. Avoid this album unless you want a sampler to discover some new artists. But don't play it from a to z.
