3.0 out of 5 stars A very strange soundtrack CD., November 28, 2001

This CD is sawed off version of what was in the film, probably to make it a Zimmer showcase (does Zimmer need a showcase). Aside from the one Mozart piece and Larry Wright's drum solo, the CD is all Zimmer. No Enya. No Soul II Soul. No David Carr. No Zorba the Greek. No more Mozart. Etc. etc. I don't think this should deter you from enjoying this CD unless you happen to focus on the other pieces in the film. I mean Zimmer is a noted film scorer. I think the oddest thing about this CD is the title of the film protagonist's composition: in the film it was "For" Bronte, not "Pour" Bronte. I mean, that was right in the film. See Enya's Watermark CD for her work in the film.

I love this CD. I have had it for many years and actually broke the first one, so I bought another. There is no other CD in my collection that I regard so highly as this one. I am a member of the Armed Forces and I listened to this CD on a training exercise in the south Pacific. Not that anyone would understand without being there, but I had one of the most beautiful sunrises while on radio watch. Silly as that may sound, I will remember that morning for as long as I live.

What is it about this CD that has captivated my family for nearly ten years? As my kids have grown up and gone away to college, they all have requested this as a Christmas or birthday gift. Is it the subtle African themes? The Mozart? The joyous, driving rhythms and melodies? Whatever the reason, they want it as part of their new, independent lives and their memories of home.
