5.0 out of 5 stars Most haunting score, ever, February 26, 2002

Title says it all. No doubt, Romeo is bleeding, will truly haunt you long after the cd is finished. The movie is absolutely fascinating and to this day, I have never heard a more appropriate soundtrack to a film.

Mark Isham has a gift for capturing, even setting, moods. His pieces evoke feelings and moods. Not quite background music but not quite music you actively listen to, his music allows parts of us to arise, giving us pause to reflect, to wander, to dream.

This is the soundtrack for a great movie but the soundtrack stands on its own. It is exploratory and adventurous. There are several jazz/blues numbers on it but there is also some experimental music that is difficult to categorize. It is at once entrancing yet challening. That may sound a bit technical but the one word that describes the whole thing is 'cool', as in the jazz kind of cool.

There aren't many like this one to find. That's what makes it so good. If you are looking for some creative and different music, this is a great place to wander.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most lasting album in my collection, December 13, 2003

By 

Jesus of Baghdad (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Romeo Is Bleeding (1993 Film) (Audio CD)

I've had this album for almost ten years now, and I'm not tired of it. Great soundtrack for a great film. "Romeo Alone" is my favorite, but the album can be played straight through with few interruptions in mood (the dream sequences, etc.).
I highly recommend this album. It's consistently grown on me for the last ten years.
