Even if you haven't seen this classy & underrated movie and are just looking for something to drift and dream by or ponder and reflect if you will, just put this cd on shuffle & repeat and you will have a wonderful time.

I quite agree with the reviewer for Amazon. This is a beautiful lush composition, and deserves a lot more attention. The orchestrations are full and symphonic on some tracks, with a change to world music. The heavily indian music inspired tracks blend seamlessly with the classical motifs of the occident.

The jazz sax completes the triage blend of sounds, which never seem out of place. I must admit that I am quite new to Anthony Marinelli's work. However, the music in the movie captivated me more than the movie itself (a good effort). It made me seek out tis gem and his other works. This album is a definate must for soundtrack enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy a worldly mix to the music.

I feel that some of the score is missing from this album, as heard in the film. Also its a little short. However it is rather good on its own. The vocals harmonies are excellent.

It is not Gabriel's "Passion" or Portman's litling music, or Horner-esque or a jazz inspired in its entirety, but an interesting mosaic.

My favourite tracks are "End Titles" "Main Title" "Inner Sanctum" "Byrons First Date" and the finest "I Gotta go".
