Free Music Review: One of my favorite soundtracks...ever
Hit: 5 Stars
Newman's music is both rousing and plaintive. "One More Day" is worth the price of admission alone. Quite simply, beautiful.Free Music Review: Ragtime (1981 Film Soundtrack)

Beautiful music. It sets a mood throughout that is rather sad no matter what the words say.Free Music Review: Twentyone Years Later...

...finally.This was one of those movies that moved me in ways I didn't fully understand. Now I think that this was one of the first movies I saw with a truly compelling and utterly significant soundtrack.
I had no I idea who Randy Newman was at the time, at didn't much care...but listening to this music again, I am impressed.
I have been waiting for this disc since first owning a CD player, and after all this time, I am not disappointed.
While none of the music here can be described as ragtime, the overwhelingly pervasive piano, and the careful sense of turn-of-the-century melody give this soundtrack real relavance.
Like the era portrayed in the movie, the music seems reluctant to embrace the quicker tempo the seems inevitable in both cases.
The music is overwhelmingly sad and deliberate, but also quite beautiful.
For creepy fun, the soundtrack includes the deeply offensive and utter amusing "I Could Love a Million Girls," as song by Donald O'Conner no less.
