the soundtrack for the film reach the rock has an excellent blend of mood, feeling, and mystery. i think that john mcentire did an amazing job on the whole project. i especially like the tenth song on the cd entitled the kiss. the song by dianogah entitled dreams of being king, has the must beautiful guitar parts. the polvo track, reverse migraine, with the piano, the rich and soothing piano. this release excites me about the future of music. YOU MUST BUY THIS CD

My bias and love towards Chicago Post-rock, led me to buy this. And with John McEntire (Tortoise) scoring it, how could one go wrong. Beautiful and eerie! Almost an extension of TNT, the vibes and drums bring out the soundscapes. The track Reverse Migraine is exactly that - solo acoustic piano that's dark yet soothing.

I absolutely love this album. I bought this album when it first came out because the record store I went to were out of the particular Tortoise record I was looking for. This album encapsulates a particular time in McEntire's work, filling the gap between Millions Now Living/ TNT/ Sea and Cake's the Fawn. This really is some of McEntire's best work, and I am still in awe of this album to this date. It also fits nicely with the Hefty Records catalogue making me wonder how much input John Hughes III had in it ( I mean that in a positive light). This album is an absolute must for anyone who is a fan of ANY of McEntire's work. Can't praise this one enough...
