5.0 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack where Pop/Rock meets common scoring., August 23, 1998

By	Sebastian Dammann ([e-mail]) (Kiel, Germany) - See all my reviews

I fell in love with the movie the first time I saw it. Now, the same has happened when I first listened the movie's soundtrack-album. Composer Andrew Powell has teamed up with producer Alan Parsons and many of his fellow musicians from The Alan Parsons Project to create one of the best soundtracks ever heard. The music is a mixture between powerful 'rock' instrumentals which sound remarkably like APP, and a more common orchestral score, which is capable of expressing the different moods of the film (from dangerous, sad, to extremely romantic) extremely well. Furthermore, there are some really medieval sounding tracks on this CD, e.g. a gregorian chant. This music lets the listener re-experience the film in the mind, with all of its moods. What more could one possibly want from a soundtrack?!? The only weak track is the last one: 'Ladyhawke Theme: Single Version'. This must have been included due to purely commercial reasons, but I personally don't like the track and think that the first track (Main Title) would be a much better single from this album. Wrapping up: This album is an absolute must for fans of the movie and APP-fans alike. All others are invited to give it a try: they won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars How could you not like this!, February 2, 2000

By	Theresa A. Ansted (Toledo, Ohio) - See all my reviews

When I first saw the movie, I fell in love with the movie and the music. Music has always been a major part of my life. I bought the sound-track on cassett as son as it hit the store. Then My husband bought me the movie. Both have capture my heart, and now our 13 year old son has fallen too. The cassett has been played so much that it wore out and now we have the CD. My favorite music is when the hawk flys over the lake.....it wish there was an entire score just for that track

5.0 out of 5 stars I was totally blown away!!!, September 24, 1999

By	Teri Gee "historian and fantasy freak" (Toronto, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is a definite must for anyone who likes music (particularly for APP and Ladyhawke fans). Alan Parsons and Andrew Powell couldn't have done better in making a fantastical score to go along with a fantastic movie. This is music you can listen to at any time; it gets inside you. It was almost like I was actually experiencing the music, not just the sound. The feeling of the music was inside me. I would definitely recommend this album.
