5.0 out of 5 stars This is the soundtrack to get, December 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hamlet: Music from the Miramax Motion Picture (2000 Film) (Audio CD)

This is music for the person who loves music. If you have an appreciation of Shakespeare, and creative and well-made modern reproductions, then you will completely enjoy this soundtrack and how well it not only complements the film, but carries itself as an independent piece of art. This is completely modern -- not classical -- and certainly not pop. You will want to see the film if you have not done so already. The moods will swing you if you let them and you will get lost in this music. I can listen to it over and it will not get old. I rented this DVD and then I bought it and then I bought the music. It is the single-best soundtrack I have ever heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars hamlet (soundtrack) takes another bow, July 15, 2000

This review is from: Hamlet: Music from the Miramax Motion Picture (2000 Film) (Audio CD)

I havent had a chance to see the film yet, but if its anything like its soundtrack, I will own it, and probably will have to replace it within a month, as it shall be so used and worn. From the moment I sampled it, it had a deep, residual tone, very unlike most soundtracks ( you tend to find more depth in scores) The sound is fresh, inviting, and non-repetative. More so, the music is new, and non-top 40. I am very impressed with the music on this soundtrack, and I feel anyone with a keen Ear for an excellent musical experience, should pick this up. And use Amazon, cause gosh darnit, they rock.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hypnotic rythms, July 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hamlet: Music from the Miramax Motion Picture (2000 Film) (Audio CD)

This collection of hypnotic rythms and passionate beats allows a hip and modern mood to float about the room. The second track, "Big Calm" is my favorite because it's soulful, eerie, and sexy. Other great songs include the jazzy, smooth sound of track # 5, "Sublime" and the hypnotic, mellow sound of track #7. The overall tone of this album is mellow,ecclectic, and moody. I would recommend playing it in the car while driving at night under the stars just to get away...
