Free Music Notes for August Rush: Music From The Motion Picture
Free Music Review: "But I believe in music, in the way that some people believe in fairytales"
Hit: 5 Stars
Let me just say this upfront: I'm a huge sucker for movies that have the music as one of the prominent factors. These would be movies where you leave thinking "I would just like to hear that piece of music again" instead of thinking something like "That was a really good story" or "The director did a really good job."
Examples of good movies, if you feel the same way as I do: Happy Feet, Pirates of the Caribbean (only the first one, the others just sample from the first movie), The Time Machine, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Shark Tale, and the Lord of the Rings (all three have great scores).
For those who are unsure of where the music is in terms of the movie, or some people may say "this isn't the original soundtrack!", I ask simply that you take a look at the track listing.

Since this isn't a review of the movie, but instead of the soundtrack, I just have this to add: Sit back and LISTEN to the music. Sure, in the movie the acting may be the most horrible thing you may ever experience, but the music is really great!
August Rush: Music From The Motion Picture Poster
August Rush tells the story of a charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York's Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, August Rush, orphaned by circumstance. Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams), August (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth. Film Stars Robin Williams, Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Terrance Howard, and Mykelti Williamson.Who knew Jonathan Rhys Meyers had such an aching, lovely croon? In August Rush, he supplies his own vocals in the role of an Irish indie-rock singer, and it's a testament to his skill that he doesn't embarrass himself on Van Morrison's "Moondance." (He's even better on Lucas Reynolds' "Something Inside.") This is fairly representative of this CD's flavor: thoughtful, adult but not bland--typically, you hear a lot of cello throughout. John Ondrasik, stepping out from his Five for Fighting persona, wrote new material, though the best song, "King of the Earth," is an unreleased one by his main project that boasts superb, elegant production by Bill Bottrell. Intriguingly, guitar virtuoso Kaki King is the hand double for Freddie Highmore, who plays the film's child prodigy. Her two instrumentals, "Bari Improv" and "Ritual Dance," are treats for lovers of inventive acoustic playing, who should also enjoy the self-explanatory "Dueling Guitars." John Legend sounds aching on "Someday," though the cover of "God Bless the Child," by Chris Botti and Paula Cole, feels a little lite. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
