Free Music Notes for Magnolia: Music from the Motion Picture
Free Music Review: A classic gem of a soundtrack...
Hit: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this soundtrack. The perfect soundtrack to go with a perfect film. Ever since I saw the film back in 1999, it instantly became one of my all time favorites, and shortly after, I bought the soundtrack. I can't say enough about it. It's beautiful. Aimee Mann is a genius! Her songs are so powerful, and I can see why P.T. Anderson wanted to adapt her songs into a screenplay. Buy it from Amazon NOW!Free Music Review: Amazing from beginning to end
Hit: 5 Stars
The tracks on this album flow so well. The transitions are great. I've loved Aimee Mann since her 'Til Tuesday days, but can never get enough of her voice on this soundtrack.Free Music Review: Mann....Oh Mann...

This review refers to the soundtrack of "Magnolia"(CD)
see below for link to the film score
"Magnolia" was a one of a kind film. Not only for it's amazing cast, unique story and great filming, but the soundtrack is one that will touch you to your very core. Aimee Mann's words and music are stirring, and tell a story of life that is so relateable, that P.T. Anderson wrote the screenplay based on her works, all the different character stories that converge stemming from the character of Claudia. Don't worry though, if you are fan of Mann, but have not seen this film, this is an album that stands on it's own. One that you will never seem to get enough of.
The CD has 13 tracks from the film, every one a winner. Most are written and performed(9 of the tracks) by Mann, and even the opening with "One" not written by Mann, she makes it her own with a fresh take and the mood is set. "Momentum", "Build That Wall" "Deathly", "Driving Sideways", and 'You Do" follow and the words and music have such feeling you cannot helped be touched by the story they tell. One of human emotions that you will either relate to or be touched by. "Nothing is Good Enough" is a fine instrumental, that needs no words. Mann's final two selections are 'Wise Up" and "Save Me". Supertramp adds their wonderful talents with "Goodbye Stranger", 'Logical Song" both excellent tunes that I find nice for drive time, as well as "Dreams" from Gabrielle" . The album closes with "Magnolia" from John Brion's superb score.
The CD sound is excellent. It comes with a booklet with some notes from P.T. Anderson, the songs and the words, and some film pix. Fans of the film can relive all the very human moments again and again, and if you weren't a fan of Aimee Mann before you will be now. Fans of Mann, will enjoy this album that is definitive of her muisc, her style and intuitiveness for saying what we may be feeling.
If you are looking for just the score(also marvelous on it's own), that is also available atMagnolia (Score to 1999 Film) (Score to 1999 Film). There are some excellent reviews there of the album. This soundtrack is also available here:Magnolia
so you can check both of these sites for best deals and availability.
I've written close to 1,000 reviews here and I don't think I've ever said this before..If I could go more then 5 stars I would, but it's true of this album.
I'll leave this with some words by Mann's "Save Me":
"You look like - A perfect fit -
For a girl in need - Of a tourniquet -
But can you save me -Come on and save me
if you could save me - from the ranks- Of the freaks
who suspect - they could never love anyone...."
Enjoy....Laurie

I love every song on this CD, Aimee Mann did a great job on the score. I would recomend this CD highly.Free Music Review: I LOVE IT
Hit: 5 Stars
Aimmee Mann is an absolutely talented artist, and her contributions to Magnolia are of nothing less than what is to be expected of her. Each of her songs has its own taste, its own feel, and its own uniqueness to it. She definately doesn't try to overdo any of her songs on the popularity factor.
Don't get me wrong, the rest of the soundtrack is fantastic too. Hell, "Dreams" is now my top inspirational song of all time, yes, past the Rocky song "Eye of the Tiger."
If you're a fan of Aimee Mann, you have to have this album. If you liked the movie, you have to have this album. Buy it.
