Free Music Notes for Meet Joe Black: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Great "after the kids are in bed" date music!
Hit: 5 Stars
My wife absolutely loves the movie and has been dying to get the soundtrack. I gave it to her for Valentine's Day and she just started crying. Needless to say I scored some serious relationship points. This soundtrack has a good mix of slow and fast music, and it is very romantic, especially if you've seen the movie. We like to turn the lights down low and play it through the home theater after the kids are in bed. Best $13 I've ever spent.Free Music Review: "JOE BLACK" Soundtrack,the genius of Thomas Newman
Hit: 5 Stars
Thomas Newman is just simply too much: Hollywood's 2004 Composer of the Year,Grammy Award Winner American Beauty: Original Motion Picture Score,Emmy Award Winner for Six Feet Under,8 time Oscar nominated and multiple BMI winner for Finding Nemo, Erin Brockovich: Motion Picture Soundtrack as well as 11 other films;let us not forget his 1998 score to the romantic 3 hour film MEET JOE BLACK.Newman seems to be an expert at "other-world" films that involve death such as Angels in America,Six Feet Under - The Complete Series Gift Set,Phenomenon,The Green Mile (Two-Disc Special Edition) and my personal favorite Oscar & Lucinda for which Newman won the Australian Oscar. MEET JOE BLACK also deals with the subject of passing to the "other world" and Newman again uses his open forths and fifth's on the piano (signifying eternity), and his sweeping Orchestral underpinnings in order to make death palatable and gently welcoming. Also on this CD are the 1930's standards 'Cheek to Cheek','Let's Face the music and Dance',What a Wonderful World' and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' which were all used to great effect in the film starring Brad Pitt as "Death", Joe Black, and his target Anthony Hopkins. Once you become acquainted with the music of Thomas Newman,like John Williams etal,he has an unmistakable style all his own.Newman's scores go back all the way to the 1978 television series 'The Paper Chase', and in 1984 he broke onto the silver screen with Revenge Of The Nerds: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.Since then,74 movies later, Thomas Newman's music,alone, makes a film worth a view for me! Free Music Review: Touching
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD was better than I'd hoped. The movie was mediocre but the music was far better than in most other movies. There are a handful of excellent music writers who tend to pop up over the years only in movies of quality so this was a surprize. Highly sensitive, delicately feeling, touching movie score.Free Music Review: Better than expected!
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this CD to have "That Next Place" in my audio files. The song was not available as a single for download. As it turned out, I'm glad I bought the whole album as most of the songs are wonderful.Free Music Review: Beautifully done
