a-ha's Velvet on track 5 is a slow whimsical atmospheric piece of sheer beauty. You have to hear it to appreciate this great melodic piece of elegant impressionism. Once again a-ha delivers a work of innovation and inspiration with this heart felt song.

Quite a range of tunes on this soundtrack - but while you couldn't be faulted for thinking a-ha was thrown into the mix for some mid-1980s nostalgia (especially with The Village People's "YMCA" also on the soundtrack), the Norwegian pop trio provides the biggest surprise on the album. Velvet, a single off their latest album, "Minor Earth, Major Sky" (import), is honestly as big a musical find as you may find this year. Despite the fact the song is nearly a year old, it's "new to you" if you find yourself living west of The Emerald Isle.

The album is quite good, with I think the highlight being the song Velvet by A-Ha. Great song, very lovely, dreamy, great music. When is the last time you remember a song by A-Ha. Take on Me in the mid-80's. This song shows they still have what it takes to keep up with modern Rock/Pop. Check it out. I don't think you'll regret this purchase.

Track 5 - Velvet performed by Norweigan band, a-ha, serves as a musical delight to the senses and a definite highlight on the soundtrack!

The soundtrack is OK, but as you can see from the other reviews, the stand out track is Velvet by a-ha. Do yourself a huge favor and buy Minor Earth, Major Sky from a-ha instead. While you are at it, pick up Lifelines, Analogue, How Can I Sleep With Your Voice In My Head, and Foot of the Mountain. Great CDs, every one.

Fun, somewhat slapstick comedy. Enough substance to keep you coming back to watch it again. Contains a lot of subtle humor that you will miss the first time you see it..... and funny enough to make you laugh again!
