Free Music Review: Where is Charlie Haden?
Hit: 2 Stars
This release should have been titled Michael Nyman: Gattaca Soundtrack, since that's all that it is. A collection of Nyman's tracks.
And yes, they are very good, no doubt about it, but where is Charlie Haden and Stan Getz's exquisite "First Song (for Ruth)", the wonderfully emotional smoky jazz number from the scene on the dancing floor? And what happened to Django Reinhardt's "Nuages" ?
If they included ALL THE ARTISTS' work on this cd, it would earn the right to be called "a soundtrack". Why did the producers emphasize only Nyman? Don't they want to make the best soundtrack compilation for us from the music pieces the movie provides? No, they don't. Including Nyman exclusively was a marketing decision, and not a move towards satisfying their listeners. For that - this cd gets one star. Since Nyman's work is so good, i'll give it two stars.
