5.0 out of 5 stars Monarch of the Glen Soundtrack, November 11, 2002

By	Angela M. Kranch (Limerick, PA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was anticipating receiving this CD. Upon receiving it, I was not disappointed. If you watch and love the show, you will love the CD. It really brings the scenes of the show to mind while it is playing. I love to play it at work, it brightens up my day without interrupting me with lots of words, I like the fact that it is mostly instrumental, very soothing. I love it and when it wears out, I'll buy it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative celtic style, July 12, 2001

By	K. Watson (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Monarch of the Glen is an interesting UK drama about a (rather cute) yuppie living in London who is virtually dragged back home to take over the family estates in Scotland and be the traditional laird of the glen. The drama concentrates on his problems with the estate, his eccentric parents, and his failures in the area of recognising when women fancy him (you could shake him, really).

In keeping with the location, the soundtrack is strongly influenced by traditional Scottish music and is background music - although some of the tracks are more modern in style, don't expect lots of vocals a la Ally McBeal. If you like moody music with swirling Scottish tunes and rhythms, this album could be for you (but I'd recommend the series to anyone who likes subtle English humour!)

Glad I bought the CD. The music is excellent and allows me to relive some of the episodes.
