5.0 out of 5 stars A pulsing driving force for the super movie!, October 11, 2002
Manhunter was an overlooked movie, the first movie to feature Hannibal Lector, which is a shame. Directed by Michael Mann (Miami Vice, Last of the Mohicans), please often dismiss his work because he uses music to set the moods so much in his films. Well, sorry, a soundtrack can set the mood and tense faster than 10 minutes of film, and this soundtrack from beginning to end, gives Manhunter that little something extra.

Its is a pulsing, driving score with deeply sensual music like the Big Hush to the poignant rock Heartbeat by Red 7.

Often when I am too busy to watch the movie, it put it on just to heart the soundtrack, so I was very glad to find it in cassette, just wish they would put it out on CD!!!!!!!!

By epsipir (ioannina Greece) - See all my reviews
Very simply is a masterpiece. The music is so tight with the scenes of the movie and hearing the music i remember every scene of it. Excellent movie, outstanding music. There is nothing more i can say.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent Music, March 7, 2007
It is beyond me why the author Thomas Harris disassociated himself from "Manhunter". To me it is a far better movie than "Red Dragon" which bears the title of the book each movie was based on. The cast of "Manhunter", including William Petersen, Tom Noonan, Brian Cox, and Dennis Farina was fantastic. Tom Noonan as Francis Dollarhyde blew away Ralph Fiennes in his ability to scare me. But I digress. We are talking about the music here. The music made this movie all the more unforgettable. Any movie with In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly to set the mood for a climatic ending confrontation is great in my book. That doesn't mention the scene with the tiger sleeping and the moodful piece "Coelocanth" by Shriekback. "Strong as I Am" by the Prime Movers is great as the background music to Dollarhyde becoming jealous and reacting. This whole CD is packed with incredible music that set the moods for the scenes. "Heartbeat" at the end as we see everything is going to be okay as they check the baby sea turtles is a great piece.

Sometimes orchestra music is appropriate for a movie. For this edgy murder drama I think the bands chosen were more in synch with the theme of the movie. The great visuals Mann used also brought out the scenes as well. I can count on one hand the number of movies that I recall every scene of the movie from the music. Most movies have one theme throughout and so they don't stand out as much. I can't believe this soundtrack isn't available. Of course you can get "Red Dragon" or "Silence of the Lambs" on CD. This soundtrack is far better than the music in "Red Dragon". I think Michael Mann is a great director and deserved far more credit than he received. I think music is a crucial part to the success or failure of a movie. Look at the classics and you will see they always have great music. This movie has great music and I think Michael Mann appreciates the role music plays in TV shows and movies. Why isn't this soundtrack on CD? My cassette is ancient and I would like to replace it.
