Free Music Notes for Before Sunset and Before Sunrise
Free Music Review: Describes exactly a day
Hit: 5 Stars
Obviously when you hear the soundtrack is just like "living" a bit the movie once again, both of them.
What i like the most about it is how in every single day there is a moment when you can apply one of the tracks of the cd.
Brilliant

Hit: 4 Stars
I've been waiting years for a Before Sunrise soundtrack album, so this is a very welcome release, but you should note that the labelling, with photos from the sequel Before Sunset is misleading. Of 11 tracks here, 8 are actually from Before Sunrise. Before Sunset just doesn't have that much music. Sadly, the album producers don't seem to have been able to get the rights to the versions of the Purcell piece played at the opening of Before Sunrise or the Bach piece at the film's end. The versions on this album are alternates.
I can't find the film version of the Purcell anywhere, but you can get the film version of the Bach piece on the Yo-Yo Ma album "Bach: Sonata for Viola da Gamba & Harpsichord." It's available here at amazon and is vastly superior to the version on the soundtrack album.
Also, it seems they couldn't afford the Nina Simone song, "Just In Time" which closes Before Sunset. It's a major omission, since we're left with just the three Julie Delpy songs from the film, which are already available on her self-titled album. They're sweet and enjoyable, but the Nina Simone song is a must-have. The version in the film is off Simone's album "Tomato Collection," which you actually see Ethan Hawke open in the film, as he removes the disc. It's available here at amazon.
Other than that, all of the best songs from Before Sunrise are here, if in a totally random order. For those, like me, who have to listen to their soundtracks in film order, here it is:
Before Sunrise:
5, 10, 7, 9, 11, 8, 4 - replace this with the Yo-Yo Ma version if you can, 2
Before Sunset:
6, 3, Nina Simone "Just In Time," 1
Free Music Review: Nice songs, unfortunately ordered
Hit: 4 Stars
I'll agree with many of the other reviewers: It's great to finally have access to many of these songs. But indeed, not including something by Nina Simone is a real error. Also, the order of the tracks on this disc diminishes the songs' effect. I expect a soundtrack CD to replicate the mood of the film, but this CD ends with the up-tempo, Euro-pop songs from "Before Sunrise," letting the listening experience end on a harsh note. To solve the problem I re-ordered the songs on my ipod, and added in the Ivy song from the trailer as well as a Nina Simone song. Problem solved! So yes, this is a good CD but not a great one. It requires some listener input to become great.
