4.0 out of 5 stars Background of Orlando's scenes, May 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Orlando: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Overall, this is an excellent album. The Jimmy Somerville song "Coming" is faithfully reproduced here. I wish I could say the same for the second track "Eliza." "Eliza," as it is performed in the actual film, is a beautiful song and was the reason I searched so long for this soundtrack. When I saw its name on the listing I didn't think twice about purchasing the album. Unfortunately, Jimmy Somerville's scene of singing it in the film must be simply considered dialogue because this track only features the background instruments to that scene and the credits. There is only a bare, and extremely short, echo of its actually being sung. I was truly dissappointed. I recommend, as I should have done, that people listen to samples before they buy. But the rest of the album is spectacular.

5.0 out of 5 stars Went back to the theatre to LISTEN to the movie the next day, March 29, 2000

When the lights came up after "Coming" blew me away I sat there stunned. My friends patiently waited for me as I recovered. The next day I went back to a matinee showing and sat in the almost empty theatre drinking in the sound of this film. The soundtrack is absolutely wonderful! I relive the movie in part when I listen to it. I had a roommate when this movie came out who bought the CD and he fell asleep to it every night for a month. Some of the transitions on the soundtrack are a wee bit abrupt, but no more so than other soundtracks (better in fact than a lot) I've worked "Coming" into my DJ sessions and always get great comments. Well worth owning if you liked the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful!, March 1, 2000

By 

Damien Ruud (Stanton, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Orlando: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The score of this movie is more than magical, but the best reason to get it is for "Coming". This song has a "world beat" texture and the great falsetto of Jimmy Somerville adds to the mix. The song is basically having a person who has learned from and survived the past,is revelling in the freedom of the present, and embraces the future with open arms and all the hope and promise it brings. Get this for sure!
