5.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite soundtrack, ever., March 16, 2001
This review is from: Three Seasons: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)
I saw the movie at the Music Box Theatre here in Chicago, because I try to absorb as many non-American films as possible. The story is a touching one, but the prize is the lovely music offered. Simply the best blends of Viet traditional with lush classical orchestration, most notibly the strings and subdued vocals. I can NOT find anything that touches me in the way that this sountrack does. It seems rare to kiss raw Viet with tranquil ambience. Maybe I should run out and get a backup copy. Other soundtracks, artists to consider if you like this one: Kundun, Beyond Rangoon, Putumayo's "Music from the Tea Lands", Pham Duc Thanh's "Vietnemese Traditional Music".

You want more of this fix?, April 21, 2001
This review is from: Three Seasons: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)
I've been searching for more of the bliss found in Three Seasons, but it hasn't been an easy task. However, if you like Three Seasons, you might want to check out "Music From Vietnam" on Caprice Records out of Stockholm, Sweden. Also consider music by Pham Duc Thanh. "Vietnemese Traditional Music" You find similarities, but not necessarily the lush orchestration found in Three Seasons. This will be more traditional Viet, but tranquilizing nonetheless. Enjoy.

Forgot to add one more recommendation.., March 16, 2001
This review is from: Three Seasons: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)
The closest thing I've found to the Three Seasons soundtrack is David Parson's "Ngaio Gamelan". However it is a bit more repetitive and doesn't have the vocals. But check it out.
