Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

You have to assume that so soon after the Oscar winning success of Titanic, Horner must have plenty to say about ships in trouble at sea. In fact, the cues that relate directly to the storm-tossed action sequences are rather generic in the composer's oeuvre; as always his real interest lay in capturing a heart to the tale. This is expanded into a "My Heart Will Go On" wannabe in "Yours Forever" with vocals from John Mellencamp. It's sequenced last and, by the time you get there, the melody will be all-too familiar from the instrumental versions that optimistically follow the Andrea Gail out of port. Lengthy cues are a Horner trait, and here they enjoy developing portraits of the rolling sea. The real surprise is the absence of what's become another trait--a touch of Irish. Instead of pipes, drums, or trademark shakahuchi there is a howling electric guitar. Thematically through subject matter it may not be the freshest he's written, and there are glaring dollops of self-plagiarism evident (eg Brainstorm), but Horner is still one of cinema's strongest emotional anchors.--Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Greatest Factual films, 13 Nov 2000

By A Customer

At first when i heard about the film, i thought it would just be a cheap remake of a heart wrenching diadter. Lillte did i know that the film would be great, but the music be even better. On the CD there are many classical tracks, which are good to listen to just to relax or for enjoyment. Written by James Horner, we would expectnothing but the best music from this master-mind, and so we have it.One of the best soundtracks around at the minuite, you have to buy this, it is too good an offer to pass up.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, 15 Aug 2000

By A Customer

I love to collect soundtracks, by hans zimmer, john williams and james horner in particular to take me back to the feeling you get when the credits are lifting. i immensely enjoyed the film therefore i was not surprised that when i bought the soundtrack it was as i had hoped. there are the repeating melodies but i think thats whats needed when they are so inspiring. to go straight down the line, buy it. if you saw the film and you are considering it especially. the theme performed by john cougar mellencamp also adds something special to the cd. by the way as a hint if you are considering purchasing the cd and mainly play them through your pc dont worry if you have minor problems with the last track its because there is so much song-time on the disc that computer cd roms cant read it all. i was worried but when i tried it on my stereo it was fine. last note, another james horner classic that captures all the emotion from the film, and i think that says it all

5.0 out of 5 stars If you loved Titanic get this..., 10 Aug 2000

By A Customer

Another masterpiece from James Horner. Although there are parts that have a distictly Titanic feel, this is nontheless a wonderful, inspiring film score. As with Titanic the main melody is repeated thoughout but there are plenty of surprises. I haven't seen the film yet, but this CD is a definite 'must have'.
