Although this is the original score soundtrack for the Martian Child, I think they still should've included Guster's "Satellite," which was used during the martian "talk" scene between Dennis and David. It's a great track and it would've made this soundtrack a lot better.

like the reviewer before me, I simply cannot believe Guster's Satellite was not included in this soundtrack compilation. It was the most memorable musical scene in the movie for my 10 yr old son and I. We must have replayed the "Martian Dance" 20x's. We loved the song, the scene. I am forever perplexed why soundtracks often exclude certain songs from their roster. What a disappointment this time. BTW, the movie was worth watching... I am pleased my son coerced me rent it for us. Smiles...

This soundtrack brings me back to sitting in the theatre watching this sweet film with a big bag o' popocorn. Sadly, the soundtrack consists only of the orchestral arrangements and does not include the more memorable songs from the film including "Satellite" by Guster and "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO. I would've given it 5 stars had it included those songs.

As a fan of Zigman, I'm absolutely thrilled at the personal investment I hear on this CD. Not only are the strings lovely, and the piano heartbreaking, but they tell a meaningful story. That's what sets this album apart... it really feels alive. Kudos Aaron.

The catchiest tune in Martian Child is "Satellite" by Guster. If you purchase this CD expecting to hear it, you will be disappointed. Aaron Zigman's songs are great but it's "Satellite" that puts a smile on my face and makes me want to do Dennis' dance in my livingroom.

Very fast service, product arrived in great condition. Hope to do more business in the future.
