Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Largely, er, "inspired" by German director Wim Wenders' classic fable Wings of Desire, this heavenly melodrama features a high watermark for overwrought modern pop-song scores. U2's "If God Will Send His Angels" might just certify their on-the-sleeve spirituality as moribund, while Alanis Morissette's radio hit "Uninvited" conjures the frightening spectre of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" (fronted by a teenage Celine Dion-in-training), making the efforts of vets Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker, Peter Gabriel, and Eric Clapton sound downright Mancini-esque by comparison. Veteran composer Gabriel Yared finds himself ghettoized on the disc's final tracks, but then he only scored the film. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars This music feels like a kiss from your guardian angel, 1 May 2002
This soundtrack is so true to the story of the film , it also stands alone as a masterpiece as a sort of concept CD. Anyway the lowdown: Sarah Maclachlan's 'Angel' and Alanis Morissettes 'Uninvited' give virtuoso performances. It's a consistent CD every track is either cool, rocking, or melancholy. The last 4 tracks are my fave by Gabriel Yared who won an Oscar for his score on 'The English Patient' he also scored the music for 'Betty Blue' Message in A Bottle' and 'The Lover' , The 14th track ( City OF Angels ) is so emotive climaxing in a crescendo of Angels screaming in a mass falsetto of heartbreak and lament.
There is nothing to compare it to with exception to ' Passion / The Last Temptation Of Christ'.
I recommend this to anyone as its musical variation , lyrical consistency , and EFFECT is timeless , buy it today and I can guarantee you will be buying some of the other stuff from the compilation of artists who appear on this soundtrack.

Someone once wrote of Guardian Angels , that it is the flapping of Angels wings that makes our heartbeat and when your heart is broken they take you soul to God so he can reincarnate you in to a new host so you have another chance of finding truelove.

Whoever wrote it must have had this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning music, 8 Oct 2004
A timeless album... I bought it for the song by Sarah McLachlan (Angel) and it was worth it for that one track which is so beautiful that it never fails to make me stop and stare. The rest of the album follows suit, particularly Peter Gabriel (I Grieve). If you like music to think to, this is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 13 Oct 2003
By Paul Johns (Berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A superb album of great songs, many of which are epic 'reflective' songs.

One of the best has to be Angel which is so sad yet so amazing to listen to.

However this song i really do think is the best on the album and one of my favourite songs of all time. Before this album i had never heard of the Goo Goo Dolls.

Iris is a true classic
