5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, November 12, 2004

This review is from: Michael Collins: Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I was flipping through the movie channels on the TV, when I came across the movie "Michael Collins". I just caught the tail end of it, but the music stayed vivdly in my mind. I rented the movie so I could watch all of it, and I immediately knew that I had to buy this soundtrack. In my opinion, the best song on the CD is "Funeral/Coda". Every time I listen to it I get goosebumps. Elliot Goldenthal truly outdid himself and the vocals by Sinead O'Connor are splendid. Every song on it is worth the money. Absolutely beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant soundtrack for a brilliant film, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Michael Collins: Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Of all the soundtracks I own, this one has to be one of the best. Sinead O'Connor's vocals on this album are both haunting and intoxicating. She was the right choice for the vocal compilations. Her recording of "She Moved Throught the Fair" is now a standard part of the songs in her concerts. Elliott Goldenthal's instrumentals appropriately fit both the theme and setting of the film. Tracks such as "Home to Cork" and "Winter Raid" convey much of the emotion the film expresses while Michael Collins is fighting the British and trying to secure peace in Ireland. Those who are fans of Celtic/Irish music should enjoy this soundtrack very much. Those who enjoyed the film will want to own the soundtrack just because...well, if you are at least part Irish, you'll understand.

I bought this Soundtrack mainly for the fantastic version of "He moved thorugh the fair" by Sinead O'Conner, and I love the whole CD. Very Reasonably priced and hard to get hold of in NZ I was very pleased to get this!! Loved every inch of it.
Highly Recommended
