Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This 1991 companion to German director Wim Wenders's film sets a high water mark for the intelligent use of cutting-edge popular (and we're using that term in its broadest sense) music on film, deservedly cracking onto critical lists for the best releases of that year, period. The contemplative thriller's setting at the end of the millenium is answered by a remarkable repertory of artists including Talking Heads, Neneh Cherry, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Patti Smith, Jane Siberry with k.d. lang, T-Bone Burnett, Daniel Lanois and U2, a de facto dream team. Nearly all these performances were unheard at the time of release, and beyond the evident marquee lustre there's an underlying cohesion to the sense of yearning that prevails. Both Cave and U2 build powerful songs around the title theme, Elvis offers a brilliant Ray Davies cover, and the Siberry/lang classic, "Calling All Angels," summarizes the spiritual underpinnings of this thoroughly modern, ultimately timeless classic in film music. --Sam Sutherland Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - best soundtrack everThis soundtrack was released when i worked at a music store so we played it over the store's sound system. It quickly became a favorite. I liked it so much I tracked down a copy of the movie (import only). It has since become my favorite movie of all time. I have bought countless copies to share with friends. Rating:  - All-star cast with a few dudsGreat collection of adult contemporary all-stars and unsung's is not without its occasional eclectic production snobberies, but comes packed with big name solidarity and undeniably solid pacing. Rating: - Joining The ClubSomehow, over the years I've become something of an aficionado of movie soundtracks - they're a great way to find overlooked musical gems. Like virtually everybody else here, I'll give this one a big thumbs-up. Definitely one of the best, if not the best soundtrack I've ever come across. If you're also a fan of this CD, I'll assume you have great taste in music (which, of course, really means your taste is similar to mine). For what it's worth, some of the other, perhaps more obscure, soundtracks that I feel are also well worth owning are: "Flirting With Disaster," "So I Married An Axe Murderer," "Blue In The Face," "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Starstruck" (good luck finding that one). Rating:  - Movie soundtrackI had seen the movie and wanted the soundtrack. The CD is dated, but worth it to have if you liked the movie. Rating: - Evocative & EclecticJust an absolutely amazing album. This genius collection of songs was probably one of my biggest musical influences. |
