5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums I have heard, highly recommended, May 30, 2003

By A Customer

This CD is my favorite CD so far. I listen to this CD on a regular basis. The best part of this CD are the two songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Eddie Vedder and also the last instrumental by Ry Cooder and V.M. Bhatt. This CD is different from the standard Dead Man Walking soundtrack. This has the extended and un-edited versions of the two songs I mentioned above and the additional instrumental. When I am listening to these two songs, it seems as if Khan and Vedder are sitting right next to me. The recording is excellent and the songs are sung very beautifully.

I would highly highly recommend this CD to everyone reading this.

My only wish is that they come out with the SACD version of this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting. You will not forget this album., December 10, 1998

By A Customer

The music is melancholic and beautifully put together by David Robbins and is definitely one of the best soundtracks recently made. I especially like the two songs with Eddie Vedder and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. I was thrilled when Eddie Vedder began his Pearl Jam concert in Denver by singing one of these songs. Unfortunately, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died last year, otherwise these two could have collaborated again for an entire album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving, December 10, 2003

By	eastmeetswest (Milan Italy) - See all my reviews

Simply buy the album for the Face of Love track.
Knowing a little about the movie will help to enjoy this one.
It is hauntingly spiritual and the melancholy can be felt for hours after a listen.
East truly meets west. I never really believed that music can break barriers of language and culture. This track really does that.
