4.0 out of 5 stars Fine soundtrack music, but they left out 2 key tracks, January 24, 2004
By 
Hal Lancer (Deerfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Year Of Living Dangerously: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
There's some fine music on this soundtrack album, but just to be a little clearer about what other reviews below mention: if you're looking for the haunting, electronic instrumental love theme that plays twice in the film to highlight the growing passion between Guy Hamilton and Jill Bryant (Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver), it's not on this CD. The piece you're looking for is called "L'Enfant"; it was written by Vangelis and is included on his "Themes" CD, as well as the "Opera Sauvage" CD others mention. Search amazon for Vangelis Themes, and listen to the sample for "L'Enfant". If that's the track you want from the film, get "Themes" or "Opera Sauvage", instead, because it's not on this soundtrack CD. And as another reviewer clearly identifies, the operatic-sounding track heard in the film is "Beim Schlafengehen" from Richard Strauss' "Four Last Songs"; it too is omitted from this soundtrack CD. This CD contains the Indonesian-set pieces Maurice Jarre wrote for the film. Great as far as they go, but too bad they left out these two key tracks, especially since they certainly had room for them.

2.0 out of 5 stars What you're looking for is not here, January 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Year Of Living Dangerously: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
If you are looking for the lovely piece from this film that is has a bell or chime-like quality to it in the beginning and is repeated throughout the piece It Is Not In The Soundtrack CD. A previous review helped me immensely with this as I had bought the ALBUM when it came out and was disappointed to find the music missing. IT CAN BE FOUND ON VANGELIS' OPERA SAUVAGE and is called L'enfant. Buy that one, this one is only good for background music for an Asian-themed dinner party.

1.0 out of 5 stars The good stuff is missing, June 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Year Of Living Dangerously: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Unfortunately, the most memorable music from the movie is not included on the CD. This borders on fraud. What is included is rather boring.
