Really Great CD!, January 18, 2000
This review is from: Girl Interrupted: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
The "Girl, Interrupted" soundtrack is a really great new CD! Whether you're a fan of the (awesome)movie or haven't seen it yet, this is a really great audio cd. The tracks from the score of the movie are really good, as well as the other songs on it. Really good 60's-70's era songs, and most of them aren't the 60's-70's song on every other soundtrack of movie based on that time period. "Downtown" is especially great, as is "The Weight" (in my opinion). Also, Wilco makes a really great modern addition to this sountrack with the song "How to fight loneliness." All in all it's a really terrific CD (can I stress that enough?)! Buy it now!

It's missing Something.., January 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Girl Interrupted: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I ran out the day that this came into stores and even paid full price for it.. Over all the CD is pretty good..The Merrilee Rush track "Angel of the Morning" was my motivation for buying this and is by far my favorite. I was rather disappointed to find that two songs that appear in the commercial are not on the sound track. The Boo Radley's "There She Goes" and one other song which can be clearly heard in the trailer and the ads are missing from this. Other then that, this is a great album.

Some kind of American haiku almost . . ., October 7, 2000
This review is from: Girl Interrupted: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I saw this movie at the Hollywood galaxy in Los Angeles. The music came on and immediately gave me the chills. This was a very well thought out movie and soundtrack. Every song fit incredibly snug as the movie progressed. Never was there a time when I found myself feeling awkward from hearing out of place music.
A trick to this CD though, if you don't know, if you listen to this in your car, the Mychael Danna selections from track 11 to track 29 turn the volume up VERY loud (if you can stand it) the depth of the sound due to the Glass Orchestra that was used has an orchestral effect like you've probably not heard or ever been used to. The glass orchestra uses glass instruments, pieces of glass, bottles etc to attain the effect that is heard. The guitar work is flawless. Wilco's 'How to fight Lonliness' is a great introduction to people not familiar with their music.
If you're looking for great music or something new like Wilco and Mychael Danna, then this is for you. If you also in the mood to hear Them and Van Morrison do a Bob Dylan cover than you're also in luck. It's actually the finest rendition of the song ever done.
... Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, crying like a fire in the sun ... look out baby! ... the saints are coming through ... it's all over now, baby blue.
Well worth the money paid.
