Free Music Notes for Whale Rider (Score)
Free Music Review: La-la-la--Ooo-ooo and ghostly overtones....
Hit: 3 Stars
This is an `okay' soundtrack, more suitable for music to nap by.I think most Lisa Gerrard fans will be somewhat disappointed--
you really don't hear any lyrics or get to grasp the extent of her beautiful voice....
I purchased this cd with with high hopes of a much awaited for Lisa Gerrard release.... instead I got a `very pretty ghost story soundtrack'.
Sorry Lisa, I have loved you since ~Dead Can Dance~ but this one
is a let down....
Free Music Review: pretty darn good cd
Hit: 3 Stars
just wish there was more of the tribal drums as in the end of the movie. That would have made the cd gloden and caused me to shake my groove thang.Free Music Review: Whale Rider Cd

We saw the film and liked the music and have enjoyed the CD very much. Great service and delivery.Free Music Review: Whale rider - original score? - I'm not so sure.
Hit: 2 Stars
I recently rented the movie Whale Rider, and shortly into it became aware that the main atmospheric motif, (a kind of ambient piano riff) was in fact lifted hook line and sinker from track four of an album entitled 'Waiting for Cousteau' that was released in 1990 by Jean Michel Jarre.The instrumentation, production and melody are identical, and unsurprisingly the interview with Lisa Gerrard on the DVD failed to include any reference to the earlier recording as an influence.
The other tracks on the Whale Rider CD/DVD bear no such resemblance and are nice evocative pieces of the subject of the movie. It's a nice easy listen, but any owners of Waiting for Cousteau out there might lift their eyebrows a little when the main theme comes over the stereo.....
Free Music Review: Amazing movie, just OK soundtrack
Hit: 2 Stars
The movie is wonderful. Rich, thoughtfully acted and respectful of the New Zealand Maori culture. However, the soundtrack is not that special. Just new age-y background music and not that memorable. It has been suggested by others that Gerrard did better work with Dead Can Dance. I agree. Still, the movie is remarkable and worth seeing.
